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.

My dad watching Jessica Jones with me and mom: "I don't get it. Why is she afraid of him? He doesn't have any strength or anything."
Some people just don't get the allegories.
My various fanfics.Try to explain to him the concept of PTSD, I guess?
Also, mind control. That's kind of important. If I recall, she was considerably less scared of him once she knew that she was immune.
Oh God! Natural light!Male privilege: being able to believe that getting raped is a purely physical thing with no emotional component whatsoever.
That sure is a page-topper, alright.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.I already explained to him that Kilgrave's power is mind control. Then again it is kinda late.
My various fanfics.A shockingly large number of people think rape only happens when it's a man grabbing a woman and holding her down while he has his way with her. That's why so many instances of Double Standard: Rape, Sci-Fi persist. A bunch of people just don't grasp the idea that things like mind controlling someone into sex or shape shifting into their partner is rape.
Which doesn't change anything I said at all, so I'll just reiterate that I found it extremely annoying.

Because I wasn't wrong. I said I found the constant mentions to be annoying, and I stand by that. Nowhere did I say they're still doing it. Somehow this turned into a grammatical debate because someone was apparently mad I made fun of a show they like.
Hilariously, I was trying to move past it and talk about something else before you decided to step in.

I'm not trying to be argumentative. If I was, I apologize. I just find it extremely annoying when people complain about AOS doing something that it hasn't done in three seasons. Imagine if someone read the first Harry Potter book and then complained about the entire series using examples only from the first book.
