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.

No. I don't think she's in it. Some of those images are just reused from past movies, and Wasp is explicitly said to not be in it (she'll be in the sequel though).
Here's the full display
. Gotta love poor Thanos just being off to the side.
Veronica won the war of attrition, which I’d bet will come into play if it goes up against Thanos or one of his goons.
Like, the turning point in a battle that Tony is winning would be Thanos or minion blowing up the floating Veronica platform, leaving the armor without a safety net.

Where did people get the idea that Natasha is on the run following the events of Civil War? While she seemed to be changing her mind about supporting the Accords, she'd only be on the run if she decided to explicitely turn vigilante, which we never saw her do. I assumed she took Ross's suggestion and is in a 10-Minute Retirement.
At this rate, a black person or a woman might even get to headline their own movie in the MCU, gasp.
Fun fact: Blink's official place of birth in the comics is the Bahamas, so there's a pretty high chance she's non-European, or at least wouldn't count as white by Aryan Nation standards. Like over a 95% chance, going by the Wikipedia numbers as of 2016.
Another thing I noticed in the reviews is a lot of them are praising the musical score. Given the conversation about the MCU films generally having very generic, unobtrusive songs, this makes me very happy.
Did you know the composer used to be in Devo?
Dude, Mark Mothersbaugh is one of the biggest composers right now. Anyone ever grew up with Rugrats and remembered the weird little themes there, sounded like some weird keyboard/xylophone hybrid? That's him. So was the music on Regular Show.
His entire composing career probably eclipses everything he made with Devo.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?Holy shit, Rugrats was him?!
I like Hiroyuki Sawano but he's running on creative fumes right now, just taking the OST of Gundam Unicorn would probably sound better at this point. Even his Xenoblade X OST, while earlier in his meteoric rise, suffered from sameiness and an excess of terrible mpi vocals.
"Knowing AOS, something huge and ambitious with far reaching consequences that the rest of the MCU will almost certainly completely ignore. "
I still find funny how thing are if you compare AOS with Civil war.
"Ok, so there is Non-Mutant all over the world, Hydra is reveal to be ancient alien cult and we fight someone with actual magical powers and flaming skull"
"Meh, who care, Cap and Tony need to punch each other in the dick".
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

Sort of? Tony gets a few funny panic reactions but the Hulk never really had the upper hand in the combat, and we actually see the damage he deals to Veronica getting undone by replacement parts mid-fight.
