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.

It's like saying Hawkeye is hypersonic. And was so was everyone else in that movie. He was just slowed down for the audience.

"It is very easy to be kind; the difficulty lies in being just."I mean this was a completely absurd argument from the get-go. "I slowed down the film to analyze how fast he goes" is a rather silly point of contention.

Tony's beard is stupid, though.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.
YOU COME INTO MY HOUSE-
In regards to this argument...I mean, if a film uses slow motion, we're not supposed to think that it's really going that slowly, right?
Oh God! Natural light!Spider-Man: Homecoming is the highest-rated Spider-Man movie on Rotten Tomatoes.
Then again, no one's surprised, are they?
My only concern about the movie was that it felt like a Robin-esque "sidekick grows into his own" story with all the emphasis on Stark creating most of what makes Peter Spidey (even the "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" line), but I was always confident that Marvel would handle it well, so I'm not surprised at all!
Why can't it be July 7th, already? Doesn't Spidey have some sort of time travelling nemesis that could speed things up?

How dare you! Tony's beard is the pinnacle of human achievement!

"It is very easy to be kind; the difficulty lies in being just."He seems pretty fast to me. Certainly faster than, say, an out of control train.
In any case:
How do you know this? Do you have a source?

Oh God! Natural light!Also, I don't know if this is how the MCU movies do it (though I'm willing to bet it is), but in the DCEU films the special features of their Blu-Rays have mini documentaries of the SFX team going over how they created each fight scene, as well as the efforts they went through to set and depict Superman's speed.

Gotta say that looks better than I had remembered, and Qucksilve was likewise more effective than I had remembered. I had recalled him as being pretty close to having none of the Required Secondary Powers, including being unable to stop, but from the video, I see that he was shown as being capable of Flash-like feats and could do a bunch of things while "speeding", just limited by his ability to think ahead.

Okay, thoughts. Keeping in mind the only thing I know about the Inhumans is what I've read in this thread: Medusa looks like crap. Idk what she's 'supposed' to look like, but without anything to use a reference, she looks like she's wearing a cheesy costume and wig she rented for cheap at the last possible minute. Also, I don't like Lockjaw's teleport effect. It doesn't look like he's teleporting so much as moving at extremely high speed.
Pietro's as fast as the story requires to do what it wants to do, which is slower than the Flash or Xsilver, and as slow as the audience needs for them to understand what's happening. Strong as They Need to Be, Rule of Perception, Speed of Plot, etc.
It looks like Lockjaw and company are being sucked offscreen in a cheap '90s morphing effect. Because that's what's happening. There's probably a way that could've been done that would've looked cool, but I have my doubts that they'll change that before the show releases.

All I care about is Lockjaw.
My various fanfics.
