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.

@Angourie Rice's character: my out there theory is that she's playing Sally Avril. She starts out as a young student in Peter's school who idolizes Spider-Man. Then as the sequels go on we see her taking more and more extreme lengths to emulate him in what appears to be a Running Gag until, at some point, it possibly becomes not funny any more.

I feel like once a trained killer with less opportunities to kill finds out an extremely annoying ally is functionally immortal, they will use them as a receptacle for all of their aggression.
I'm thinking frequent widow stings to the head, bullets to the crotch, The occasional opportunity to break his arms. Oh and Clint would feel the same, he might be tolerant of Mr. Pool at first but sometimes he gets that urge, like that scene with Quicksilver in Age of Ultron where he jokes he could just shoot him there and nobody would notice. Only he might actually shoot.
I'm more curious how Cap would be able to handle someone so wacky.
The Blog The ArtKlara is usually considered The Scrappy but I doubt we'd see her in the movie anyway. Her whole thing is she's from the past, so you'd have to put in time travel shenanigans just to justify her being there.

Don't get ahead of yourselves, guys. The movies give fewer shits about the tie-in comics than they do about the TV show. It is entirely likely that Nico's mom is just a neat Shout-Out that the tie-in writer thought would be cool.
Like how the Iron Man tie-in comics kept trying to build up the Ten Rings as Tony's archnemesis even though the movies basically stopped caring about them after the first film, only ever bringing the idea back for a Decoy Antagonist in Iron Man 3.

Klara only appeared later in the story, which is when most people generally agree the quality started taking a nosedive, which I guess factors into why so many people hate her.
Like I said though it's moot because a movie would probably focus on the first few arcs anyway.

...what? Everyone knows what I'm talking about.
It depends on which comics you're discussing. A lot of the ones done after the films are usually irrelevant, but the prequel ones are often done with an eye towards what is happening in the film. I would not be surprised if those two were included because they have cameos or minor roles in the actual movie.
Good to have that cleared up. Would love to see Marvel tap into that at some point.
So basically all the funny parts from Edge of Tomorrow.
I have a question here: do you think wakanda would react to T´challa actions in Civil war? I mean he pretty much call a man hunt on Bucky head and enter with hero to punch another hero after all it happen, I can see a lot of people in wakanda feeling insecure about him and his erratic behivor.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Wakanda is a monarchy. T'Challa has the divine right to rule. What more need be said?
Kings don't really have approval ratings. Just the occasional peasant uprising.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.My guess is that any internal conflict in Wakanda will be from ultratraditionalists who want to undo T'Chaka's push for integration with the world. So it will likely be the fact T'Challa intends to continue his father's policies that will be a matter of controversy, and anything he did as Black Panther in Civil War will be a minor point in all of this.

He kicks ass. What's not to love?
Hell, when somebody fucks with their country, T'challa doesn't just say he's gonna find the guy responsible, HE ACTUALLY GOES OUT AND TRIES TO FIND THE DUDE RESPONSIBLE. That's the kind of person you want leading you.
And as a final point, even if it wasn't the guy he thought it was, he was the one who actually caught the one responsible.
T'challa 1, everyone else, negative 15.
...Handsome Rob, Infinity.
Edit: Since I couldn't get my post to come out the way I wanted it, I had to change it. Fuck everything everywhere for all time and at all times.

Probably. Or fanatical religious elements like the ones who murdered the Jabari/Jobari tribe under the decree of the king.

Generally, but as Coates' run has shown that's not always the case.

Also how they handle Xavin's gender/sex, which as someone pointed out is closer to being agender than genderfluid (he's more sex-fluid, if that makes sense).
