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.

In fact, Linda Carter became the Night Nurse who was in Doctor Strange: The Oath and became Strange's love interest for a little bit.
Claire Temple, on the other hand, had no connection to the Night Nurses. She was, in fact, a doctor who was one of Luke Cage's early love interests.

To be fair to the movies, the show didn't even call Temple a Night Nurse either, so she could just be Claire Temple that was brought to Daredevil. In the comics, she appeared in exactly one issue with Daredevil and that's it.
Yeah, she's mine too. I wish they had ditched Karen and keeps Dawson on the payroll. She got such good chemistry with Charlie Cox.
Edit: Also, does Marvel writers keep track with their characters name? Night Nurse has the same last name as Cap's GF Sharon Carter and no one bothers to change / lampshade it?

The creators also heavily teased that she was Night Nurse early on. I believe when they unveiled the character they cryptically phrased it as "A nurse who operates at night..."
She's a Composite Character. You could be forgiven for assuming she's Night Nurse just with Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames in effect.

So, from the sounds of it, it looks like we have a fair chance of Baron Mordo being built up as a protagonist throughout the film in order to make it more interesting when he's a villain in a later film. That's exactly how I wanted them to do it and I really hope they do.
Fox, I would assume. She's a mutant and she was introduced as a member of the Hellions in Uncanny X-Men #193, 1985. That's, of course, assuming we're ignoring her actual first appearance on the Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends cartoon show, where she teamed up with Spider-Man alongside X-Man Bobby Drake.
That show was a very miniscule part of her character history and basically is only remembered for the endless memes it's provided the internet.
She's also been a New Warrior and an Avenger, but Beast and Wolverine are Avengers too and that didn't save them from being labelled X-characters. The Avengers don't have enough claim to her to really constitute labelling her an Avengers character. The New Warriors might.
So, basically, it's a tug-of-war. There's a case to be made for her to be packaged in with the X-Men, Spider-Man, or New Warriors franchises. It's a case unlikely to ever be made, however, given that I don't imagine the X-Men or Spider-Man franchises care enough about Firestar to use her and I don't see a New Warriors film on the horizon any time soon.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.So, in this forum, we've discussed and agreed that the rights of the X-men should be returned to Marvel considering that Fox's version has little similarity to the comics. So, in you guys opinions, which approach should Marvel handle X-men if they ever had the right back? Mine would be an animated series produced by Disney in the style of their good shows like Gravity Falls.
General consensus really has seemed to lean towards "Mutants are too convoluted and are better done in their own setting."
I personally disagree and continue to disagree, in part because a lot of the concerns seem to be trying to preserve Fox's work while I have no problem striking them from the record, but that's different.

Where does the rights to Firestar belong?
