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.

There's a difference between LEGO giving characters flashy toyetic mechs to play with and making their own entirely unique character designs. From what I can tell, the Mandarin figure in that picture is reasonably accurate to Trevor's disguise - sans coat. The biggest difference is the lack of sleeves.
Given LEGO's track record for spoilers, I'm surprised they used Trevor and not Killian in that set.

Killian's design isn't as toyetic as "Mandarin." Dude is just guy in a suit #100001 on fire.
Non Indicative UsernameWhich would make it all the more idiotic if that was really the reason why Shane Black was told that he could make the main villain female (IDK if the original plan was for Killian to be female, or if Maya Hansen was meant to be the main villain like she was in the comic that the movie is loosely based on, or whatever).
Well, he has become quite handy...we can just blame him for everything which ever went wrong at Marvel. Especially the lack of a Black Widow movie.
I wish that there were a chance to squeeze one into the schedule for Phase 3, but I guess Sca Jo is busy enough as it is.
Indeed. Everyone remembers that timeless scene
◊ in which Ultron, in his Colony Drop chassis, battles Iron Man in South Korea over the fully-functional but captured Vision while Captain America tries to catch up on a motorcycle badassedly dropped from Black Widow's Quinjet.
I'm not sure what you mean, but I wasn't talking about costumes. I was saying the Lego sets often create scenarios out of whole cloth or take stuff from the movies and greatly change or exaggerate them. There was a bunch of discussion about whether or not the tentacle monster is Shuma Gorath, when it might just be something Lego made up to sell toys.
Yeah, I'm just talking about how the LEGO sets aren't always true to character, like how they put an assassin and mercenary on an orange and blue jetski.
Although I could totally see Trevor!Mandarin riding around in a mini-tank.
Though due to the studios involved, the Marvel characters were kept out of The Lego Movie and Lego Dimensions.
Which is a shame, because Dimensions could've been the closest thing to an adaptation of JLA/Avengers we'd ever get.
