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.

Because some people are really stupid when it comes to not ignoring things that should be ignored.

One Strip! One Strip!Took the words out of my mouth (keyboard?). Even the plot was played seriously, it would essentially be a repeat of Jessica Jones, albeit with arguably worse abuse.
Just an FYI, but if anyone wants a more indepth look at Avengers #200 that's actually pretty darn funny to boot, Linkara did a video on it for his review series Atop the Fourth Wall, which is all about reviewing (mostly) bad comics, Avengers #200 included. Here it is
, in case a summary of the whole fiasco isn't enough for you.

Hey, just got home after watching Civil War with my sister.
Man, I need some R and R, before I take it up with the spoilers thread, but the point is...
I know I'd be willing to defend Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but holy crap, Civil War was just so much fucking better.
Regarding Avengers #200, I don't think anyone who wants Captain Marvel to be good wants it to be adapted in any meaningful sense, so there's no reason to even argue the point. Well there's probably a weirdo or two out there somewhere, but I believe even the writers of Avengers #200 have admitted that it was terrible.
So when I said I want the movie to take a jab at it, I mean I want them to reference less the comic itself and more the absolute terribleness of it. I'm taking something like having a bit character named after the writer of Avengers #200 and is then immediately killed off in a humiliating fashion.
EDIT—
Why is it that between the time I write up my final thoughts on a point of contention, the topic always radically changes between the time I start writing it and when I actually post it?

I think everything that needs to be said about Avengers #200 has already been said, so I don't see what good could come from referencing here. Just let it die.
Could be, but I hope that despite being unshackled from Perlmutter giving them more room to do All Star Casts, that Marvel continues to do what it has with Hemsworth, Bautista, and Olsen and hire actors who haven't been blown to stardom in the same way Boyega has yet as major characters too.
Pretty much all of the names that've been floated around for BP have been sort of big, like Dr. Strange's. It's great that they're hiring so much talent together, but it's also a great opportunity to get some fresh blood into Hollywood as well.
Chadwick Boseman is a big name?
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Sure, now, but that doesn't mean Marvel Studios hired a big-name actor for the role.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I'd heard of him from the two biopics he did, having watched both of them and loved his performances in them (especially in Get On Up).
Changing topics a bit, Agents of SHIELD is gonna be moved to a later time slot next season. A lot of people are getting pissed about it because the ratings have been really bad due to the election, and now they'll probably get worse.

Even Chloe Bennet says the TV shows are hardly a part of the MCU.

They adapt one of the worst comic book event ever and turn it into a super hyped movie.
