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.

It could actually be extremely poignant, not joking. When it comes to pathos, Rocket is the Guardians' secret weapon— okay, now I'm joking.

In the comics, he hates them. He has a long-standing enmity with Earth raccoons. So far as he's concerned, the less time he can spend around them, the better.

I think most people would freak out if they went to a planet with mute humans who look like your siblings but crawl around butt naked and dig through garbage.

[up]I've been to the airport. It was alright.

Hmm, Bucky and Starlord could use some re-assimilating as well, how bad could we troll them?

  • Rogers: Hey, would you like to join me? I heard you've been away from Earth for a long time and I think you might enjoy this.
  • Quill: Sure. What's going on?
  • Rogers: I'm trying to catch up on some of the Earth culture I've missed. This video comes highly recommended, so I wanted to give it a try.
  • Quill: Alright, I'm in. What's it called?
  • Rogers: "2 Girls 1 Cup". Tony promises that it's unlike anything I've ever seen before.
  • Quill: Sweet, I'm game.

Starlord was last here as a kid in the eighties. He's probably gonna be disappointed we're not building neon space colonies on the Moon and Mars.

He'd probably get a kick out of the idea of a superhero team on Earth though. And it occurred to me that he probably read/heard about Captain America in school or something. So it'd be interesting to see those two interact on that level as well.

And of course Drax/Thor, Gamora/Black Widow, Iron Man/Rocket are, well obvious.

I'm trying to think of who Mantis might play off of well, hmm?

[up][up]I'm gonna say either Sam (counselor/empath), Peter (relatively inexperienced kid), or Wanda (Good now, basically magical, kinda sorta responsible for a ton of dead innocent people, pseudo-adopted by the team's resident dad).

Nebula is Bucky

No, see, Rocket uses Bucky's arm to create an automatic bitchslap machine to use on Thanos.

Bucky and Nebula comparing robot arms. Tony and Rocket having a drunken tech-off. Gamora and BW comparing dark murderous pasts. Mantis losing it at feeling Hulk's emotions, or fawning all over Thor (because women in the MCU seem to do that a lot), etc.

I wonder what Hulk and Thor's reaction would be to the events of Civil War. Of course, by the time of IW, it wont really matter, but it would be interesting to see what their take on it would be.

Well, they'll all have a much better idea what it feels like to have a guy they can't control go on a rampage and smash a bunch of stuff. In both Bruce and Thor's cases, their guy is green, but the green isn't mandatory.

[up][up][up] If Mantis is even interested in the "kind" of thing Thor is. I have the feeling she would fawn over Black Widow instead, provided that I read that particular line correctly and it was not about Dax's race.
