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.

Oh right, B again shoots it out as a star. What I'm wondering is, in order for Kirby to impart the suction force to suck up Thor's hammer, he must logically already be worthy enough to move it, right?

I think if you're lifting it by imparting force indirectly through another means, in this case the wind, you can do so. Like how Magneto can use his powers to lift it.

But also like Magneto, Kirby probably wouldn't be able to move it with his own body. Who knows if his body is even worthy enough to move it through his digestive system.

Lol....the one with Crystal is kind of funny with her making this bad-ass pose and then creating this small spiral on the top of her finger....But overall, pretty cool.

No surprise if you've seen Homecoming, but Pepper and Happy confirmed for Avengers 4.

I like Karnak and Crystal looks OK but Gorgon is super bland and so is Triton.

Looks like we may actually get Nova introduced in the next Guardians movie.

Gunn’s reply was promising. “Yes, definitely. Nova comes up occasionally as someone we might use,” he revealed. “One of the things I’m doing with creating Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, it will take place after the next two Avengers movies, and it will help to set up the next 10-20 years of Marvel movies. It’s going to really expand the cosmic universe. We’re going to be setting up new characters. It will be the last movie of this version of the Guardians of the Galaxy."

[up] Wouldn't bet on it....Gun once mentioned that he doesn't like Nova. I am ready to bet that he will leave that particular character for whoever takes over the franchise from him.

Gunn's not the only one calling the shots. If Marvel wants to throw something in to set up a Nova movie I doubt he has very much say in the matter.

Swanpride Since: Jun, 2013

[up] Gunn is a safe box office bet. And without Perlmutter in the picture, there isn't a lot of danger of too much meddling.

I'm really sorry if I throw in something random, but it might even have something to do with Infinity War, and I just have to get it off my chest now. So, I was listening to the commentary of Age of Ultron, and during the stinger where Thanos puts on the Infinity Gauntlet, Joss Whedon commented (not word-for-word) that Thanos will try to gather the Infinity Stones himself now, because had enough after being failed by Red Skull, Loki and Ronan...Did I miss something or what? I thought Red Skull wanted to use the Tesseract for HYDRA (he probably did, that's why he supposedly ended up "betraying" Thanos) but when was it hinted that he worked for Thanos in the first place? Was this supposed to be kept a secret or was it just a slip of the tongue by Joss Whedon? I can't find anything about it online (except some WMG that Red Skull is Thanos). I don't know why but this just kinda blew my mind!

[up][up]Feige will likely still meddle where need be. He's even said in the past marvel is a hard studio to work for because they take such a hands on approach.

If they want Nova set up there will be Nova set up, in sure.

I'm probably jumping the gun (pun unintended) here, but the inclusion of Nova makes me hope with a bit more confidence that the MCU will eventually do a Young Avengers/Champions thing with Sam!Nova as one of the members.

Just like how Ghost's inclusion in the upcoming Ant-Man movie makes me a bit more confident about the Thunderbolts (if any Marvel exec is reading this, please put Vulture on the team as a Composite Character with MACH-I).

For Tony or Pepper? Because fridging Pepper is unlikely but I can definitely see it adding to Tony's deathflags now that he's already tied the knot.

[up][up] She could have a temporary death like pretty much everyone got in The Infinity Gauntlet.

Of course, if that did happen, then they'd need an explanation as to why anyone they might want to permanently kill off can't come back.

Oh God! Natural light!

A Jessica Jones-esque female Marvel show is in development[1]. White Tiger starring Angela Del Toro?

Depends, can White Tiger carry her own show?

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

When they said Jessica Jones-esque the first thing that came to mind was Dakota North, but another private eye show would probably be too similar to Jessica Jones.

White Tiger maybe? She (Angela del Toro) was name-dropped in JJ already.

I'm still hoping for Daughters of the Dragon myself.

Jessica Drew?

Hoping she'll be a film character in the Captain Marvel movies though, especially given the inclusion of Skrulls.
