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.

Infinity War promo art, featuring Iron Man and Spider-Man!

The Spidey suit isn't new since it's the MCU!Iron Spider suit we saw at the end of Homecoming.

However, the Iron Man armor here is brand new, appearing to be modeled after his armor from the All-New, All-Different Marvel era, capable of growing wings, wrist cannons, and full-on Mega Man-esque Arm Cannons.

Well, at least the Iron Man armor doesn't still look like the sprayers ran out of paint halfway through.

No, because we all have subjects we don't shut up about.

Don't I know it. I don't have the right to judge, cause who here doesn't have their Single-Issue Wonk?

That being said, it doesn't mean we all have to be happy about it.

Everyone likely has a Single-Issue Wonk, but that doesn't mean they can wonk about it on the forums all that want. Wonking in a public forum, after all, is obscene and only feels good to the wonker.

Listen man! Sometimes, you just gotta wonk, even if it's in full view of everyone.

Don't judge a wonker! They're just doing what they gotta do!

Hey, wonking may feel good, but it's liable to get you labeled as a text offender if you do it in public.

If you're going to wonk, at least try not to get it everywhere. It's hard to clean it out of threads.

If you're going to wonk this much on a single issue, though, you should at least alternate.

I find it hard to believe anyone can wank this long on a single issue.

So I make a tired joke and suddenly everyone is wonking around here....

Anyway, Is Thanos going to show on earth? or the whole thing is going to happen in space?.

You'd have to ask Marvel. We know very little of the plot. His army will be, at least.

[up]I really said this more see if AOS will tackle thanos in a Red Skye crossover, it would fun to see actually, since I feel the show is the best when it when it deal with the movies fallout.

Why not Quicksilver instead of either of those two? He's been dead for much longer and in a way that was more contrived. Only way I'll let it past is if they turn them into revenants to fight against the team. Death Is Cheap is not something I want to make it into the films because then it destroys all stakes in these films forever.
