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.

Oh great. This boils down to "yeah, the Ghost rider will be in this episode". The only interesting part is the list of guest stars...glad that Yoyo is back.
Honestly, the marketing campaign for Ao S has been very sh... this time around. They really need to put a little bit more effort into it.

It's the premiere. They basically have a synopsis for the entire season and then a one line synopsis for the episode. See the longer one here
:
In light of the Sokovia Accords, and with Hydra obliterated, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been legitimatized again and no longer needs to operate in the shadows. Since the world presumes that Coulson is dead, the organization needed a new Director to be the face of the organization. Coulson finds himself back in the role as an agent and teamed with Mack, and together they are tasked with tracking down and confirming the presence of Enhanced people, aka Inhumans. Agent May is tasked with training specialist strike teams, and Fitz and Simmons have taken a big step forward in their relationship.
In the season premiere episode, "The Ghost," Ghost Rider is coming, and S.H.I.E.L.D will never be the same.
In other news: yay, Yo-Yo is back! I'm really hoping that they make her a regular this season, because she is delightful.

James Gunn posts answers to a bunch of questions about GOTG 2.
Warning there might be minor spoilers.
For me, the biggest thing there was that Baby Groot doesn't have the original Groot's memories.

Oh God! Natural light!Eh, it's all dealing with an entirely imaginary/hypothetical questioner anyway, a little bit of strawmanning is probably actually necessary to some degree. And none of it meant particularly meanly as far as I can tell anyway.

The review in question.
I'm still a little confused about the setting, since I heard it was going to be before JJ, but the review says the main story takes place after.

It has always been described as being set after
Jessica Jones. The plot wouldn't make any sense otherwise: Luke Cage, deciding to make a stand for his neighborhood. In Jessica Jones he's clearly something of a cynic isolationist, so this series would mean the season would have him lose all hope and become seclusive, leaving his own neighborhood to the sharks and departing for Hell's Kitchen. The trailers even show that his arc is precisely about learning to give a shit and stop being a reclusive guy with powers and start taking a stand. if the show were set before Jessica Jones, it'd need to essentially undo its own character arc to fit in canon.
I think the confusion stems from the fact it's apparently set after Jessica Jones but before the second season of Daredevil.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."The same will probably be true of Iron Fist. The idea was that everyone would get a first season, Defenders would happen, and then everyone would get a second season, etc.
Dare Devil getting his second season so fast screwed up the schedule.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.A superstrong person with an angsty, tragic past and anger issues, whom no-one really likes all that much, is hunted down by a man obsessed with them and their power, who stands no chance in hell against them in one-on-one combat, but is a threat regardless because of the people he can command. This person also fights a superstrong man who's not in their right mind, either because the man obsessed with them sent him after them, or because this man brought his receding mental state upon himself in a desperate play to become stronger.
Jessica Jones or Hulk?
