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.

In fairness, Ultron did that.
Tony just sort of rolled with that bad decision.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersWell the thing shoots lasers.
Anything you put over it is going to get a hole shot through it. Or maybe explode.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThen again, Rhodey might prefer if it shot a few less lasers.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub."We also remember that it was your stupid tower that allowed that portal to be opened in the first place. Maybe next time you feel the need to validate your manliness with excessive phallic symbolism, you should think about that"

No, Alliterator's right. They explicitly state that he set up there because he wanted to wipe his balls on the Avengers. Steve mentions that he needed a power source and Loki does use the arc reactor for that, but it's never indicated that he needed the reactor specifically. Just "a power source".

Send him to jail so he can get beat up too though.
One Strip! One Strip!Hadn't seen this before but Madame Hydra is coming to Agents of SHIELD
.

I'm so excited for Infinity War to finally get here.
- Vision: (shows up out of nowhere and starts lasering Thanos)
- Tony: Boy, it's a good thing I ignored you and built an awesome protector robot, isn't it?
- Thanos: (tears Vision limb from limb) Oooh! (plucks the Mind Gem)
- Steve: Boy, it's a good thing you put an important MacGuffin right inside his face.
