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.

Me too. Why else the Holy Burns Evil thing?

No, he's supposed to be empowered by a demon from a Faustian Pact with Mephisto. The stupid arc I was referring to tried to retcon him into being an angel on a holy mission to smite evil in service to God.
It's quite a profound shift in the character, and while I did fall out of comics for a while there, I'm pretty sure it's been ignored since then. At least, until Robbie came around and they went for a completely different source for his powers entirely - while also altering his powerset and vehicle. He has the burning skull transformation.
Robbie only superficially resembles the Ghost Rider, so I'd love to see him pick up Zarathos. The non-angel Zarathos, I mean.

Surtur is in Ragnarok (let's hope he's not wasted).
Jordan will be playing Killmonger like many predicted. Nyong'o will be playing Nakia, which is stretching the definition of love interest but makes a lot of sense since his actual romantic interests tend to be at other studios, or a Neutral Female Butt-Monkey like Monica Lynne.

The Sanctum Sanctorum has Wi Fi? Excellent. I hate it when I'm at some mystical hideout full of wonders that defy my understanding of how the universe is supposed to work and I have to dip into my data plan to check my email.
Happens all the time...

Shit be crazy man.
This movie is gonna be hella trippy. That much is for sure.
One Strip! One Strip!Ho-lee crap, was that Doctor Strange trailer balls-to-the-wall trippy or what?!
I mean, the thing with the buildings, I was like "this is Inception times 20!"
In short, I'm still hyped as f#ck for Doctor Strange!
Also, that logo for Thor: Ragnarok. Was anyone getting 80's arcade game/TRON vibes? I mean, I don't hate it, but it's kinda left-field, don't you guys think?

Ghost Rider wasn't always like that? I thought that was part of the point behind the character.
