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.

If Groot says anything besides "I am Groot" it will release parasites or something.

For cultural references I'd have Steve watch Raider of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, and Star Wars. Just for fun, I'd show him Men in Black.

The idea of Steve watching The Room and listening to Trout Mask Replica as his reentry to society is making me giggle uncontrollably.

Well yeah, we have to show some mercy to the poor guy.

In exchange we can convince him that Plan 9 From Outer Space is the peak of cinema.

Take him to a NASCAR race, have him watch every American Idol finale, and have him get a Myspace account tongue

Make him watch American Dad. He'd probably try to dismantle SHIELD before Project Insight took place.

On the other hand, I could see him enjoying King of the Hill.

No, see, make him read 1984, but then tell him it's historical nonfiction.

This needs to happen in Infinity War http://thestuckynation.tumblr.com/post/96404406274/berunov-rocket-no

Also, to my complete lack of surprise, Tumblr is rubbing Steve's beard all over my face via my Dashboard.

I want Rocket to claim he needs Bucky's arm as a throwaway gag, and then at the end of the movie, they show up and Rocket's converted Bucky's arm into an Infinity Gauntlet of their own.

Bucky's arm, Rhodey's legs, Odin's eye. Rocket needs these things.
