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.

Villain from High Lander.
I keep forgetting he's that guy too, but to be fair, that's from well before I even knew the name Clancy Brown, so it's easy to forget.
One Strip! One Strip!
Ah. Honestly, I had no clue it was him. Must have been long before his Lex Luthor days.
Already got to episode 2 of Luke Cage.
Let me say right off the bat that the first episode was a lot better than Jessica Jones's by leaps and bounds. And I feel more inclined to press forward with LC, which is more than I can say about JJ.
Maybe Marvel heard about how JJ was prone to making people feel dead inside...
I haven't finished season 2 of DD, but is it one of those "Nothing Is the Same Anymore" endings?
Also, this probably sounds like an awful thing to say, but I'm dearly hoping Misty loses an arm at some point before the end. Every MCU property has someone lose an arm, and which better candidate than the hero who gets the nifty vibranium replacement arm?
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I also enjoyed Turk bolting back to Hell's Kitchen. Though I also love how...non-plused he was about the whole thing. He barely reacts to it. It's darkly funny.
I actually just finished episode 7 about an hour ago. I'm pretty far along. I'll likely finish by the end of the end of the weekend.
One Strip! One Strip!HOLY SHIT SWEET CHRISTMAS!
I just finished episode one after four hours of pausing my playstation to take notes. This show is AMAZING. The script has top notch writing. Within the first ten minutes the opening event introduces me to the protagonist's side cast, life style, characterization, personality, backstory, motivation to stay reluctant before the first Turning Point, and it also introduces me to the setting, themes, and tone of the overall story. I can solidify a vantage point with the gathered information, looking keenly at everything that paves way for the inciting incident. Each scene during this time frame alone has characters wanting something, which for the status quo, mundane part made the characters more entertaining to watch than them blabbing aimlessly. Everyone is dialogue friendly and none feel like they are talking directly (obvious exposition) to us the audience; one is arrogant, another is carefree, and one more is upright. They all contrast each other (automatic tension). Not a single moment wasted. Not a single action wasted. Not a single object in the setting wasted (Luke holding the broom goes somewhere). Even more, when what would be teases to obvious world building props happen indirectly through the setting/character's action, including dialogue - when Power Man is dropped it's not in my face "this is what he will obviously be called in the future". Then there is the act of Luke picking up the washing machine to provide elicit the "power" part for the older man to say, who remarks he even thinks it's amazing (a side character promotes Luke's journey to the comicbook heroism). On the subject of dialogue, HOLY ABWFOAFHWAOG 8 FGYWA 0 GFYWAFAWGAW it has rhythm. Words flow together to match the hypnotic background jazz.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW THIS SHOW IS AMAZING WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW AHOFWHAFW 8 F 0 A 3YGT23AG3G3A

How does Turk's time line add up? Because when we see him in DD 2, he's on parole and under house arrest. Is he under house arrest now too? And is now planning to change his address back to his former Hell's Kitchen one?

It's okay, though. He's the Kurgan.
