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.

Doom, much like MODOK and non-Fraction-Mandarin, is that type of deliciously absurd villain only comics can provide.
Toning him down is a disservice to the character.

Hell, he already writes My Little Pony fanfiction!
No, really, I swear, that actually happened.
I am NOT making it up, that was a thing!

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.@Tobias: Holy crap, that is the greatest description of possibly anything I've ever read.
This song needs more love.No one in comics uses doors. In X-Men in particular you could make a Drinking Game out of how every single villain arrives by blowing up a wall even when the door is right there.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Yes, the rumour mill killed Stan Lee off already multiple times...I think the last time two years ago...I won't believe it unless Marvel makes an actual press release.
Otherwise, Stan Lee has already filmed multiple cameos in advance, but if the one in Got G Vol 2 would be his last one, it would be the perfect way to go out.
And avoid Fant4stic at all cost unless you are really curious. This movie has a boring, self-indulgent first act which leads to nowhere and does nothing to make you care about the incredible stupid characters (I think the high point is the claim that nobody really knows anything about the scientists who made the inventions needed for great achievements - yeah, right, because absolute nobody knows who Victor van Braun was. Or Albert Einstein. Or Tesla), a second act which stops abruptly after less than five minutes and then a rushed third act which seems to belong into a 90s b-movie. It is a mess, an not even an entertaining one. Not even "spot the wig" can distract from how depressing and boring the whole thing is.
It's an interesting bit of hindsight when Victor complains everybody hears about the astronauts and nobody hears about the scientists, and then a few years later another movie premieres that points there was a certain reason for why said scientists were left out of the spotlight...
Apparently the entire first season of Daredevil has been rendered non-canon while I was away.
Call him The Trespasser.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."Matt: Hello, Foggy.
Foggy: No. No, no, no.
Matt: I took a case.
Foggy: Stop it. Get out of my office, we don't work together anym-
Matt: But I'm going to be busy punching people today, so I'm giving it to you.
Foggy: For fuck's sake, stop taking random cases just so you can pawn them all off on me!
I had the hopes that the Defenders would somehow have Matt v. Foggy in court as a subplot. And they mend their friendship during this epic battle of lawyers before Matt just destroys Foggy's case.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."If they're both defense lawyers, wouldn't they have a LAWYER DUEL if one's client sued the other's?
Admittedly I know little about law. But I am the best goddamn bird lawyer there is.
Also, yes. Exactly like that.
