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.

Why would you tell me that she exists in the same breath as telling me that she's dead.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersShe's still alive — she only died as part of the alternate future Age of Ultron, which was wiped from existence.
That's also the comic where Faiza Hussain became Captain Britain.

Remember that Homecoming/Spin-off connection that was retracted? The retraction has now been retracted
.
Kevin Feige backs Pascal’s comments, saying her response is “the perfect answer”. What FANDOM understands from this is that there will be no crossover in terms of character appearances between Sony’s films and Marvel’s films – despite Venom, in particular, being very closely connected to Spider-Man – but that all of the action across all of the films happens in the same “reality”. So there you are.

So...we were right, then?
Dudes, this would be much easier if you just said "Hypertime".
Oh God! Natural light!I interpret it as meaning that Spider-Man Homecoming basically exists in two separate universes simultaneously.
The new Sony movies will reference Homecoming, and Homecoming is part of the MCU, but transitive property does NOT apply, basically.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!The only thing that confuses me about that is that now the Sony Spider-Man movies have to deal with the implication of the Avengers existing in their universe and that they never show up.
Otherwise it seems like an unnecessarily large amount of clarification for something that probably won't make much of a difference in the grand scheme.
This song needs more love.MCU Quicksilver actually isn't very fast in combat (he can travel close to the speed of sound outside of combat, oddly enough). Would you believe me if I told you that the average car could outspeed him in 90% of his running scenes?

"It is very easy to be kind; the difficulty lies in being just."You can literally just slow down the film and measure how long it takes him to cross certain easily-measurable distances. In 90% of his scenes he varies between 20 mph and 100 mph.
And no, his speed is determined by the SFX team.

I'm not memeing, I don't even watch Game Theory. I wouldn't be surprised if the same applied to Sonic though. People underestimate how fast even a 60 mph humanoid looks; and an actually supersonic humanoid would flat out appear to be teleporting in most scenes.
Kinda sorta.

"It is very easy to be kind; the difficulty lies in being just."

The copyright issue is weirdly like Onslaught.
A great evil threatened Marvel, an evil born of some of their own decisions and some malice in their ranks. But it threatened to end their entire world. In order to stop this threat menace, a large number of heroes sacrificed themselves and were banished to another reality, leaving the world they left behind aching and somewhat empty.
The X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man. Through their sacrifice, the dread Bankruptcy was fended off.
Maybe someday Franklin Richards will bring them back home. But possibly not because he's with the Fantastic Four rights and will probably never be born in a movie.
