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.

io9 had an interesting thought on it
:
I'm not a big fan of the spoken form either.
I prefer the idea of something either more archaic like the monastic language or as that post suggested, a hybrid language like they did in planet of the apes.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Fury and Iron Man are filming Infinity War
.
I want Fury to complain about how he left for five minutes and they burnt the house down.
Didn't he already say that in Age of Ultron?
Mind you, it's not like it's gotten better since then...
Oh God! Natural light!Well there's Thanos, who's essentially the Overarching Villain for both the Avengers and the Guardians to this point; by extension, Thanos's adoptive daughter Nebula has appeared in both Guardians movies, though she's more of an Anti-Hero in Volume 2, and is set to show up again in Infinity War. Zemo definitely seems like he's being set up for a return appearance down the line, as he's very conspicuously spared at the end of Civil War, and while Dormammu is prevented from conquering the Earth in Doctor Strange, he's still out there and I doubt we've seen the last of him. Mordo also has his Start of Darkness in Strange, though its unclear where he's going as a character from hear out. And of course there's HYDRA as an organization, and Epileptic Trees about whether villains like Red Skull, Zola, or Ultron could have survived their defeats. But if there's any sort of villain team up at some point down the line, general speculation seems to point towards Zemo being at the heart of it, considering his comics role in connection to the Masters of Evil and the Thunderbolts, and he's left at the end of Civil War sitting in a cell with lots of time to stew in his own juices, reevaluate his motivations, and come up with new plans...

I wont call thanos arecurren villian since a best is just cameos and name dropping, HYDRA better being off death since they are burn concept from now(the fact Agent of Shield make them a alien cult and said alien is now death make thing defintive) so the answer so far is pretty much Zemo, now the question is how they are going to handle him.
Of course Thanos is a recurring villain. He's central to the conflict of at least three movies: In the Avengers he's pulling Loki's strings, in Ao U's Ultron is stated to be his trojan horse, and in Gotg he's the man behind Ronan (before Ronan rebels).
Mordo and Dormmamu are also going to become recurring villains, pretty evidently.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."Thanos is a bigger bad.
He hasn't gotten directly involved but he set off the plots to Avengers, Age of Ultron, and Guardians of the Galaxy.
So that's pretty recurry.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersIt doesn't have too many moving parts.
Ultron was made with the Mind Stone, which has its own intelligence. Thanos gave the Mind Stone to Loki.
Budda bing.
We still need a catchy name for the Mind Stone.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersEh, it's a pretty straightforward back up plan plan.
A) Send a mind-controlling device to fuck with their heads.
B) Watch them get torn from within.
D) Profit.
This was his actual plan. Tony Stark was the one who made it worse by deciding that the schematics he found inside a mind-controlling device should be used to build an A.I.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Loki uses the spear to control people's minds at several points during the first movie. At one point he attempts to do it on Stark himself and Stark just goes "nah mate doesn't work on me" so he's clearly aware.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."In fairness to Tony whose fault everything is especially Secret Invasion, he was watching over the AI project every step of the way up until he went to a party and left Jarvis in charge
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThe MIND GYM. The REALITY BARS. The SOUL SWINGS. The POWER TETHERBALL. The AETHER GO ROUND. The TIRE TESSERACT. All of it leading up to assembling the INFINITY SLIDE, so that Thanos can lay waste to the galaxy I mean playground and impress that creepy new kid, I think she's from Scandinavia or something?

Yeah, I'm cool with Black Bolt using ASL too. They'd still need subtitles or to give him an interpreter for the audience's benefit, but that'd be a neat Bilingual Bonus.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.
