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.

She'd be a better Avatar than had previously been seen on the big screen
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI don't want Agents of Shield to end anytime soon...sigh....but then, Supernatural was once supposed to have five season. So I guess there is hope.
But seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if after The Inhumans, The Savage lands is the next "obscure property" Marvel tests out.
The Inhumans themselves...weather Perlmutter wanted them or not, it makes sense to adapt them. And who knows, there is the hope that the delay is mostly related to Marvel getting rights back. Maybe Namor. Hopefully Fantastic Four. If they get those rights, it would be time to work on "Doom" the movie about a poor noble whose life got ruined by a bunch of irresponsible explorers.....

Yeah, it's another one of those things. Namor too. The Savage Land first showed up in X-Men comics, while one of Namor's claims to fame is being 'the First Mutant'...which he's not, canonically (because Wolverine, Apocalypse, Mystique sometimes, Exodus, Selene), but his comics have been around the longest, even if he wasn't said to be a mutant until later.

Heck, mutants weren't even created until later. If someone was born with Superpowers in The Golden Age, then that was it; no more, no less. Either there was some bogus explanation, or it just kind of happened.
The legal trouble with Namor had nothing to do with Fox though. Universal Studios had licensed the rights to the character years ago (they even had Namor stuff at their theme park) but the movie never got made. The license lapsed not too long ago but Kevin Feige said there are still other parties involved that'd make it difficult to put Namor onscreen.

Let me guess: That thread would just be people fighting over what direction the DCEU should take, which movie is the least bad (or even if they're bad at all), conspiracy about Marvel / Disney bribe the critics and whether or not Zack Snyder is a hack or an underappreciate genius (or both, depend on the property). Am I missing anything?

Come on, taking about Superman being good or not over and over and over is fun
In my case, I dont have much to said since I already vent all my complain of Marvel in the other thread and I havent seen the netflix shows and one can only complain about Ward before it get boring* so I just avoiding this thread for the moment
- :it never get boring
So far I've been thinking mostly about deep voiced actors for Dormammu, but what about someone like Mark Hamill?
In fact, Mark as any one of Dr. Strange's eldritch, terrifyingly powerful antagonists would be awesome. Honestly, I just want to see Mark Hamill in a superhero movie, preferably Marvel.

Lately the DCEU threat has been mostly about people denying that there is anything wrong with the DCEU movies while attacking other people for being "biased"...which is exactly why it got shut down now.
Fox has the rights to the X-men and to the use of the word mutant in a Marvel context. They don't have the right to every character in Marvel comics which was labelled a mutant at one point (which is why Marvel can use characters like Scarlet Witch, Quake and soon Squirrel girl). So no, when it comes to Namor, Fox doesn't have the lone rights.
I think I have read somewhere that the Savage Lands are a shared property, but if that is true, that would be even more reason to be the first out of the gate unless Marvel is currently trying to figure out some rights issues with Fox and doesn't want to rock the boat. Anyway, I think it would be way more problematic to do Captain Britain and Co because those stories are tightly interwoven with the X-men.
Baskin Robins does. They always find out.

But seriously, an Inhumans film with Crystal as the viewpoint protagonist.
