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.

He can't play Sif. He has to play Uncle Ben.

Make mine Marvel.Then Spider-Man would be a very different character.
- Uncle Ben: Getting bullied is awful, I know. People will try to put you down. They'll say you don't deserve the things you work for. They'll go out of your way to keep you in your place. When they do that, it's your job to stand up, to push back, to show them with every move and every blow why they are wrong. Remember, Peter: with great power comes GREAT respect! Use it fairly but without hesitation and show them why they were wrong to ever doubt you.
Jeff Goldblum and Karl Urban are awesome casting, and the characters that they're playing are, not what I would have expected. Nice to see Cate Blanchett (the Marvel films first female main villain, pretty please) and Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie finally) confirmed as well.
And yeah, hopefully Sif appears as well.
Random rambling.
In my country's airing of Iron Man 3, the subtitler actually failed to recognize Bruce Banner and made the subtitles as if he was a therapist with Stark being his client.
So I was like "Wow, what kind of therapist was he to be personally invited to Stark's plac-waaaaait a minute..."
This was the concept art done of Valkyrie for The Dark World
.
I'm guessing something along those lines just ya know, black.

So if the Grandmaster is popping up, I hope they adapt this scene
from Avengers Annual #16 when we get to Infinity War.
That, for all you Hawkeye critics, is Clint saving the entire universe by outsmarting said Grandmaster with a simple game of chance (he'd imprisoned Death, and losing to Clint distracted him long enough for her to escape...at least I think it's death).
And they say the guy is boring. BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT I SAY!
One Strip! One Strip!So just like how the Tesseract hid the Space Stone, the Aether Reality, and the scepter Mind, I'm thinking the Eye of Agamotto has the Time Stone inside.
Also, I'm thinking Grandmaster is how Hulk gets involved. We've been trying to figure out why Hulk would be in Thor movie. Perhaps after the events of Age of Ultron, the Grandmaster kidnapped Hulk to force him to fight in his arena battles.

I like Hawkeye.
Partially because of stuff like that and partially because he's a fuckup the other 90% of his life. He's very endearing and relatable.
I don't even find him boring in the MCU. He's less of an ass and he's way more low key than in the comics but he still gets some great bits.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers

I did not see Jeff Goldblum coming. Nor Karl Urban. Interesting.
