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.

Danny is actually going to wear something approximating his costume?

He had an accident at the ketchup factory while he was beating a man to death with his bare hands.

[up]He does look like a man who's more annoyed that his shirt got ruined then anything else. "Damn it," he thinks. "Now I have to get this washed! You know how hard it is to clean ketchup out of a white shirt?"

That poster isn't as good because Luke isn't driving an invisible car.

Jesus Christ, how do you walk in that helmet?

Wearing that helmet would kill you. Therefore only Death can wear it.

It's great isn't it? I'm amazed they got away with it after the problems with Thor's way less problematic helmet.

Hemsworth said they had a problem getting it to say on. Which makes me wonder why they didn't just use duct tape.

Really cool Thor Ragnarok poster, with one complaint: why is Loki in blue, not green?

Bizarre rumor out of the D23, Disney's press conference:

Tomorrow will confirm Infinity War will introduce the MCU version of the Fantastic Four.

That is a bizarre rumor.

And if true would mean for a very, very, very crowded movie.
