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.

Steve is, well, Steve, and Thor is literally the god of the protection of mankind.
I know we all love to shit on Stark, but I'd bump him up above Scarlet Witch at least. At least he wasn't deliberately aiding terrorists and destroying cities.
And maybe Nat, given her very bloody past including at least one confirmed murder of an innocent, probably more.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Most of the morally dubious things Tony did came from a good place even if they didn't really pan out how he wanted.

This song needs more love.I want to give Wanda a little more credit because at the very least, the bad things she did were coming from a place of desperation.
Tony, on the other hand, even when he's been heroic, every good thing he's done still has an element of "Look at me! Revere me! Praise me! Aren't I so smart? Aren't I so charming? Give your love to the futureman!"
Consequently, if I were to rank the Defenders...
1 Matt
2 Danny
3 Luke
4 Jessica
5 (Honorary) Misty
6 (Honorary) Frank
7 (Honorary) Claire
8 (Honorary) Foggy
9 (Honorary) Bobby Fisher
10 (Honorary) Karen
11 (Honorary) Ben
12 (Honorary) That one Russian guy who teamed up with Matt before dying
13 Stick.

My various fanfics.True fact: If you pause just right you can see Daredevil's baton is what actually shatters the Mjolnir in Thor Rangarok.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I agree. I especially I like seeing Loki interact with other characters without being actively villainous, so I'm looking forward to his interactions with Dr. Strange and Banner.
Especially Banner, who once described Loki as a bag of cats.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.If you'll notice, I was mostly padding it out to put Stick as far at the bottom as possible.
My various fanfics.Honestly one of my pet peeves about CW was how the movie completely and utterly glossed over all of the crap that Wanda pulled in AOU.
It was all "oh why are you picking on poor Wanda you jerks." Umm movie, you do remember how she willingly worked with a psychotic robot, who was killing people? You do remember how she deliberately messed with The Hulk's mind and set him loose on a major city full of innocent people right? Any and all people who might have been killed or injured during all of that are HER responsibility. She's hardly some innocent victim, she's lucky that she's not in prison after all of that to begin with,
You want her to have redemption, cool go for it. But just because you ignore her past actions for the sake of your plot doesn't mean that said actions didn't happen, or that members of the audience have forgotten about them.
Ok, we've already time travelled back to 2015, let's not travel back to 2016 here.
But yeah, echoing something Tobias Drake had said, they just needed one line and it could've fixed it.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?...Eh?
I was under the impression that Return of the Jedi was the least liked Star Wars movie due to the Ewoks and the retreading of A New Hope's plot of destroying the Death Star...
"Honestly one of my pet peeves about CW was how the movie completely and utterly glossed over all of the crap that Wanda pulled in AOU. "
you forgot the fact she work with Hydra(the one who turn Bucky into the mother killer) and push tony mind into that frenzy, something AOU just suddenly forgot.
"But yeah, echoing something Tobias Drake had said, they just needed one line and it could've fixed it. "
kinda...no, doing that would drag atention to the fact sokovia was destroy because Tony and Bruce creation went of out control and that would pretty much wreck the entire story on itself, that is why the hulk rampage in south africa is skip.
in fact now that Wanda have create a mess twice in african countries, I will said T`chala would be wary of her if she ever come to wakanda....
Now about Ultron...the issue with is in the climax is like Loki, he stop being usefull in that moment what it matter is strenght and yet is strategy relies pretty much on "throw mooks at them and hope somehow that stick" which is like expecting the putties to actually beat the ranger or expecing the droid to actually beat the jedis, is just nonsense, mix that with Helicarrier ex machina taking away the only sense of threat and you just go the "avenger show off" time.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

What're you talking about?
