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.

Given characters like M'Baku and such, it's almost definite that there's going to be a lot of people against T'Challa's rule, but it don't think it'll be about his actions in Civil War - it'll probably be more of the whole "pretenders to the throne" bit.
If anything, given M'Baku's usual character and the kind of opposition T'Challa usually faces, the dissenters are probably going to be all for how T'Challa went out to murder the dude responsible for the T'Chaka death, but be against T'Challa growing past his vengefulness and growing as a person afterwards. The point of contention will probably be his trying to connect to the international community as apposed to going "fuck everyone."

Somebody call the Vision!
Edit: So I just realized:
Cap being able to slightly move the hammer was a sign that he had the potential to be worthy, but the events of Captain America Civil War show WHY he's not completely worthy.
All those things people have been complaining about: they are there on purpose. When he sheds those flaws, then he'll be swinging that hammer the same way he throws his mighty shield:
AWESOMELY.

One Strip! One Strip!So with Mads Mikkelson is confirmed to be Kaecillius by the prequel comic, do you guys think Baron Mordo will be having a Teeth-Clenched Teamwork with Strange.
Suicide Squad's hand was forced when a camrip leaked online. The reason they generally don't like to do that is the footage is obviously unfinished, and they don't want people whining and complaining about how shitty it looks. Joke is on them though. People will still do that with an official trailer!
Either way, I like that James Gunn is a good sport about it. It always bothers me when studios act all betrayed because someone sneaked out footage, complaining about the fans in general. There is a giant group of people in Hall H, so you are basically attacking a number of fans who didn't do it (and might even not like the notion of doing it at all) because of one guilty person.
I dunno which is funnier: the revenge of the Thanos-copter, or the idea of a MCU Secret Wars.
Please it would take a similar amount of time to have enough characters for Civil War.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series did their version of Secret Wars with a severely reduced cast, so I don't see how the MCU couldn't do the same thing...

I'm more concerned with the part where Secret Wars is kinda unfilmable.
An eldritch being from beyond time and space creates a mass of land, abducts a bunch of heroes and villains, and makes them FIGHT!
Great concept for a video game. Terrible for a live-action movie.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I'm not sure if I agree with that one. In the end, it's just the same stuff happening in a more fantastic setting. If I'm remembering it right, in the original work the Beyonder even took a piece of Manhattan into his Patchwork World, so you could probably still have relatively normal character interactions.

People are just saying they doubt the stuff you keep mentioning from Civil War is gonna factor into it. You're overthinking things.
