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.

    Original post 
Since Thor and now Captain America came out this year, I wanted to get what Tropers thought of the concept and execution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. Personally I love the idea and wonder why this idea hasn't been seriously tried before. It sorta seems to me like the DCAU in movie form (And well, ummm, with Marvel), and really 'gets' the comic book feel of a shared universe while not being completely alienating.

Cool I guess. People wanted someone older will be disappointed, but she has time to grow into the role.

Ego was one of the villains I though could be in a sequel, so I'm happy.

Ego is apparently Peter's dad. Huh.

If Captain Marvel announces appearances by Kamala and/or Monica, then they'll have my attention.

Interesting. I both like and am slightly disappointed that they're making his wings look totally different from Falcon's.

Zabuh?

Anyway, this shit's getting crazy. Both Marvel and DC are churning out some incredible shit right now.

...

When I see that logo, I can't help but sing ~Wer're Marvel! All the heroes!~ ~Are here!~ ~Except for the X Men!~ ~Fuck those guys!~ ~Inhumans rule noooooow!~ ~Cause we say so!~ ~Yeah Maaaarveeeel!~

Cause the X Men are missing out, even if they've had some good stuff.

Just in case anyone is confused. The footage they showed at Comic Con made it clear that MCU Ego has a human form he constructed to father Peter Quill.

Pretty sure Ego will have a Kurt Russel looking human-sized avatar.

So Star-Lord's dad is Ego the Living Planet. Played by Kurt Russell.

...I can safely say that I don't think anybody guessed this. And it's awesome.

They did say they were considering Ego for GOTG 2, but I don't think anyone thought it was going to be necessarily as Quill's father.
