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.

I would not want to see Kevin Smith directing an MCU film. Don't get me wrong, Kevin Smith is good at what he does, but what he does wouldn't be compatible with the MCU unless somebody forces the executives to allow an R-rated film finally.
And of course I wouldn't want to see Michael Bay, for obvious reasons.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?Kevin Smith presents: The Loners, a comedy about a therapy group for ex-superheroes meeting to discuss how retirement is treating them since the international crackdown on vigilantism began.
Michael Bay presents: Skrull Kill Krew. Skrulls are hidden among the population. They're gonna kill 'em. EXPLOSIONS YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.He produced the TV series Arrow as well as writing the Green Lantern film.
He was also a writer for the atrocious Young X-Men comic that reconfigured an upbeat school dramedy at the X-Mansion into a gritty action series by butchering half the cast, but he wasn't responsible for that; he picked it up later.
And he wrote the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game which was actually a really good, serviceable Wolverine game miraculously salvaged from the godawful mess that was the film. A rare case of an Adaptation being infinitely superior to what it came from.

He wrote Destroy All Humans video game and is a master of social critique mixed with satire. or Eric Wolpaw, writer of Psychonauts. he can pull off humor in progressive and unusual ways you wouldnt normally receive from hollywood

Tarantino was considered a long time back
for directing Luke Cage and then Iron Man.
But what 'western' characters do they have? No-one comes close to even someone like Jonah Hex over at DC (and he's B-list on his best of days) and a western is just as much about the characters as the setting.

Forever liveblogging the Avengers
