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.

Things you should know about Metal Gear:

- War Economy
- Bullshit genetic theories
- Memes (not as funny images, but as in the actual definition of the word)
- People talking dramatically all the time
- Lies and manipulation
- Fission Mailed
- Butts as plot points
- Toilet humor related to a single individual
- Related to the above point, but not exclusive to it: Generation Xerox
- Big Boss is the all-time charmer, the single sexiest person who has ever honored this mundane earth with his existence
- Robotic Ninjas with fucked up pasts
- FOXDIE
- Everyone wants to kill Solid Snake
- Cardboard boxes are love, cardboard boxes are life
- Brotherly rivalry
- War has changed
- Revolver Ocelot never misses
- Revolver Ocelot is a triple-quadruple-double agent.
- LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!
- Kept you waiting, huh?
- Nanomachines
- Ghosts and psychics are real, tho

On an related note, the only way I'd ever want another Captain Snake America movie is if it featured a very Metal Gear-ish plot.

Don't forget: Nanomachines, son.
Basically if you're playing the games with blonde dude as the PC, pay damn close attention cause the plot basically makes a disturbingly accurate prediction of the then-next decade of the U.S.
Starting with 9/11* and basically everything (Patriot Act, oil spills, War on Terror, Defense contractors, the Internet and all it entails, etc.) up to and including the current political shitstorm. By which I mean the villain of Revengeance, a game released in 2013, literally says "They're going to make America great again!"

Fuck, forgot about the nanomachines. Editing it right now.
God, I hope Revengeance doesn't turn true/we have another Raiden game. Because either it is a very prophetic character or someone in a very influential position within the U.S. government is a big fan of every game Raiden has been featured in.
