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.

It is kind of hilarious to think that the guy with such a dismal record of handling super-powered threats, managed to get himself appointed Secretary of State and is one of the people involved in this whole "monitoring the Avengers" thing. I'm actually surprised that no character in the film brought up his failure to contain/capture the Hulk for years, or him accidentally helping to create Abomination while trying to find a way to stop the Hulk (which makes the chaos in Harlem during TIH partially his fault as well).
Not sure what good it would do.
- Stark: I think it's ridiculous that you're in charge of us when you completely botched the operation to capture the Hulk.
- Ross: Well, you're welcome to your opinion. Unfortunately, while I was working as a general and politician every day for the last decade to make our nation and the world great, you spent the last decade building an illegal private army for Stark Industries and have never, at any point, made an effort to be part of the system that ultimately selected me. You don't get to complain about not having a vote when you refuse to be involved in the process.
- Stark: ...kinda preaching to the choir. I mean, that's basically why I'm here.
- Ross: I know, I'm just bouncing off you because we couldn't figure out any realistic way for Rogers to be present for this conversation.

Thor's top 5 Ragnaroks
, wonder which ones the movie will draw from.
And then Night Thrasher could show up and they can join the team Teenage Negro Ninja Thrashers.

In one of the worlds in Secret Wars (2015), he did, with the joke that nobody took him seriously and just called him "Spider Hero". It was great.

Cool.
