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.

    Original post 
Since Thor and now Captain America came out this year, I wanted to get what Tropers thought of the concept and execution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. Personally I love the idea and wonder why this idea hasn't been seriously tried before. It sorta seems to me like the DCAU in movie form (And well, ummm, with Marvel), and really 'gets' the comic book feel of a shared universe while not being completely alienating.

I think reverse polarity Dogwelder instead wields things to dogs. The same, but backwards. Instead of walking around with a bunch of dogs he wants to weld onto people, he walks around with a bunch of random junk he specifically wants to weld onto dogs.

Dogwelder transcends companies. Dogwelder is eternal.

You think I'm joking, but I'm not: it's revealed in Sixpack and Dogwelder: Hard-Traveling Heroz that Dogwelder comes from a long line of Dogwelders going all the way back to Ancient Egypt. In the end, however, Dogwelder manages to save the universe...by welding the stars.

Comics are awesome.

What if Flatman wasn't flat?

What if Doorman wasn't a door?

What if Grasshopper - sorry, he was killed before I could finish this joke.

What if Mr. Immortal wasn't a mister?

Dogwelder should team up with Paste Pot Pete. Together, they create the Ultimate Universal Sticky Puppy Agent. Soon everyone in the world will have a dog attached to their person!

I have to say, when it comes to comically insane (or at least, intentionally comically insane) heroes and villains, DC's got some of the best. And ironically, if they were created by Marvel we might actually see some of them outside the comics.

I mean, the Defenestrator. Who doesn't love a guy who carries around a window to throw the bad guys out of. I'd love to see Section Eight (minus Bueno Excellente) in something.

To be fair, Fin Fang Foom and Devil Dinosaur both started as a "serious" characters before Marvel started embracing the inherent ridiculousness of the character, and even then the humor isn't all they're about nowadays.

If I might shift this away from bat-fuckery...

I understand that Got G Vol 2 has a whopping 5 post-credit scenes (though I also understand that not all of these are, strictly speaking, serious scenes).

Could anyone give me a spoiler-free description of where these scenes are in the credits? I'd like to know how long I need to stay to see the important stuff. Really, I guess I just need to know where the last one that actually matters falls here.

Oh God! Natural light!
