Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

And re-blackmailed him into calling it quits and going home as soon as he got injured. Whether Stark forcibly drafted him or gave him the kick in the butt he needs to achieve his potential is entirely a matter of perspective, but the way Stark treats him and the positive way Peter responds to that treatment puts me in the latter camp.
Steve, on the other hand, dropped a shipping container on him.
Good. We're supposed to. That's the entire point of the event, and the film did a fantastic job of living up to it in a way that the comic failed at.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Nominally, Tony's side is the more rational one - before Winter Soldier, the Avengers did have oversight by SHIELD, and having them be what amounts to a privatized vigilante group just isn't a particularly good idea. But Tony himself isn't particularly rational, and like Steve, he escalates the conflict. It's a clash over personalities and issues and personal trauma, and only after that, ideologies. I didn't come out of the movie feeling that Tony was right, I came out of it feeling "Okay, a large amount of you guys need therapy, and also, you might look into hiring a lawyer to look at those Accords."
Vision dropped a building in front of them, not on them. The only reason they were able to close distance and get under it before it hit is because Wanda was holding up the debris.
A lawyer would be too busy explaining to them why everything the Avengers have ever done is astonishingly illegal to even begin talking about the Accords.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Yeah, I get both sides entirely but in the end I feel like Stark and his side came off slightly better than Rogers who seems too selfish.
Everyone made mistakes, did shady stuff, made stupid decisions, and acted emotionally and irrationally, as humans do. I agree with that. I noted every flaw both sides had, it's just I felt like at the end of the movie the title character felt a little bit more like a Well-Intentioned Extremist than the hero.
The Blog The ArtMaybe that's why She-Hulk hasn't appeared yet.
She started a face palm and just can't stop.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers![]()

I guess that wouldn't have been very fascinating as a 2.5 hours movie... in contrast to Avengers - Group Therapy. Which this technically was, only without a competent therapist, and much more frozen assassins.

I would be lying if I said Steve came out looking worse for me for being selfish. But that's in part because I think Bucky deserves that chance at a life, and Steve is literally the only one in the movie who believes that. But Tony doesn't really look worse, either I think what he tries in the end is reprehensible, but of course, oh so understandable. Try having his baggage and react differently. I guess, in the end, I'd probably side with T'Challa.

Apparently the thing is that Marvel can't release a movie titled She-Hulk because it runs afoul of their deal with Universal or whoever.
They can use the character but she'll never get her own movie.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersWow. This rights issues bullshit is really killing them...
Well, ok, not really but still.
How can Hulk not have any solo films when he had one back in 2008?
One Strip! One Strip!

So, based on Civil War, I have a theory about how Captain Marvel will be introduced in the MCU:
After air force soldier Carol Danvers gets her superpowers, the U.S. Air Force (and the U.S. government in general) push for her to put on a costume and call herself Captain Marvel, because now that War Machine is crippled and Captain America has gone rogue, they need a replacement supehero/mascot. The Captain Marvel name would be an in-universe attempt to replicate the P.R. success they had with Captain America.
