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.

Looks like they're they're trying to incorporate authentic African artistic traditions which I can definitely dig. I spotted someone with a lip plate, which is appropriate for a nation that's supposed to be located in East Africa.

Also Jordan looks nice in dreads. W'Kabi looks very close to his comics incarnation. And the Dora Milaje look very cool in general.

Time for the other best thing about Captain America: Civil War to strut his stuff.

I am digging the brief look at M'baku we got there.

I am enjoying this blend of traditional African tribal aesthetics, current South Africa-ish aesthetics and just sci-fi aesthetics.

Also Dora Milaje guaranteed as scene stealers.

@Alley: Oh, is that what that is? I was wondering what was going on with that man's face. Didn't know it was a cultural thing.

Only thing that bothers me is the first scene breaking the 180 rule for some reason. Probably just a rough edit. The rest looks incredible, and not at all like so many other "samey chaos and destruction" trailers.

It's very aesthetically appealing, besides the usual ropy trailer CGI.

I was wondering why Klaw only had one hand because I forgot about his unfortunate encounter with James Spader for a second.

[up] Well, he hasn't mentioned cuttlefish yet.

I love the trailer. I love the fact that the Dora Milajae also appear to be sporting hand cannons shaped like panthers.

I really hope this movie finds an excuse for Klaw to fight a cuttlefish and he's like You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!

Probably my only gripe besides some of the unfinished CGI and camera work is that the new suit doesn't look as good as the Civil War one with the lack of texturing and change in eye shape.

I have to point out that sonic pulse that blasts BP away near the end of the trailer. I'm really hoping that's Klaue with a new arm.

I thought the Black Panther suit in the trailer was the exact same one as in Civil War.

Ah, so the Black Panther suit is bulletproof.

Also...did that one guy at 1:21 in the trailer have some sort of...chin piercing?

Help. I've already watched this trailer for like ten times. And still counting.

Could be the resolution but it seems like the suit is smoother and shinier and has bigger eyes. But that could be the result of CG issues rather than costuming.
