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.

So if they are including Miles, it won't be another Peter-centered romp? If so I might actually see the new Spider-Man.

[up][up]that may be jumping the gun. It does raise the possibility we will see him in a future installment though.

I kind of figured that this was like the inclusion of Ganke ("Ned"), this was another instance of "stealing" Miles' supporting cast as part of a general interest in compositing various aspects of Spider-Man in the 616 and Ultimate universes, although I can also see how it potentially leaves the door open for Miles.

Just to be curious, where in the video does it say that? Not that I don't believe it, I just want to see it. Watching it, I see a bit focusing on Vulture, and a lot of bits about the supporing cast, but I must have missed the part about that character specifically.

[up][up] Actual spoiler: her last name is being kept secret because she's Vulture's daughter.

[up]They don't say it but when it shows the actors and their character names it goes by real fast[1].

Ah, so that's why Bokeem Woodbine was listed as Shocker #2.

We'll wait and see but i'm not really feeling Danny Revolori as Flash from that video.

Actually, that was debunked. Her last name is never revealed in the kid's book.

Wait, now I'm going insane about she being a gender-flipped version of Miles Morales. Oh, yes, making that my own personal canon right now.

Does Sony have the rights to Miles Morales? Maybe Marvel has some contingency plan if they don't want to share after this movie

[up] The Spider-Man animated film is about Miles Morales, so I'm guessing they do.

They have the right to every version of Spider-man. The big questionmark is if Spider-woman is included in the deal or not. That one seems to be a grey area.

She is shared with restrictions on Marvel's side. Marvel could use her under the name Jessica Drew but could not call her Spider-Woman or have her use "spider-like" powers, while Sony can use her outright but can't have her be associated with SHIELD or the Avengers (obviously).

How Thor and Loki's relationship changed by Ragnarok[1]. Also no Daryl[2].

He had better shown in Infinity War.

Ah, so he's reporting from footage taken at a convention.

That's interesting, though a bit surprising. I thought he would've come down on him harder because of the whole Odin thing, but the brothers with major differences who work together angle was more interesting than when he's being an the evil usurper.

From "doesn't care any more" I took it less that Thor has forgiven him, and more that Thor has written him off entirely. It's more "fuck it, do what you want, I don't care any more."

#71771: Jun 17th 2017 at 8:56:56 PM

Seriously. He's given him the benefit of the doubt one time too many so I can see him being pissed about the whole "Faking my death and also impersonating dad" bit.

Yeah. It sounds like Thor is emotionally exhausted from giving Loki the benefit of the doubt. He was sorta on that edge in "The Dark World". Now he's over it and just done.

He tried so hard to bring him back in "Thor" and "The Avengers", and he's officially run out of f*cks to give.

Nah. He just wanted to be. If he was actually out of f*cks, he wouldn't have been so susceptible to Loki's Heroic Sacrifice feint.

He had exactly one f*ck left.
