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.

Aw, man, I missed a talk about Dogwelder.

They're pretty evenly spaced. Only the second and third ones are important in the context of setting up future movies, but the other three are hilarious enough that you probably won't want to miss them anyway. I recommend sitting through it all.
Plus the credits themselves are fun.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I am so happy! They even get a full season order. They apparently also have to lower the cost, which is a little bit of a bummer, but hopefully they will manage. It's not like I expect them to have Ghost Rider around in the next season, too.
For the record, this will make Ao S the longest running Marvel show ever (beating The Incredible Hulk). And it means that it will reach the 100 episode mark. Hopefully they will plan something special for the occasion....
Ao S is not really made for binging, it is made for torturing yourself from week to week try to predict what happens next and then being surprised when the show goes into a direction which never occurred to you.

Also, I'm going to reiterate here what I want from the 100th episode: I want them to spend their entire budget to get Robert Downey Jr...and then have him make a five second cameo, see Coulson, go "Huh," and then leave. That would be so hilarious. The rest of the episode would, of course, have to take place in one room, since there would be no more budget, but it would be worth it.

It's kind of impressive if you consider that network TV is pretty much dying and Ao S is doing an ongoing storyline. Plus, there are few show which still go that strong after so many episodes.
Honestly, I would prefer it to see Nick Fury again. As much as I would like to see Coulson encountering Steve again and geeking out even more, I kind of like the "working in the background" feel Ao S has.
Hopefully the show can deal with the lower budget...I fear this will mean less characters overall.
Honestly, to me the whole thing sounds like negotiations....Fox is threatening that they keep ruining the Fantastic 4. Marvel is all "yeah, we don't care...." while waiting politely for Fox to come to them and make an offer. I mean we all know that Fox is risking another financial flop with another F4 movie, and the time for making one is slowly running out. I think they have 7 years until they have to go into production, 8 years until they have to release a Fantastic 4 movie. Marvel's slate is full until 2020 anyway. At least. Once the whole sequels for Got G, Doctor Strange and hopefully Black Panther and Captain Marvel are factored in, they are pretty busy.

Basically sprinkled all throughout.
