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.

Visual shorthand. If you're trying to make a point about the impact the character has had then someone the audience already knows and saw him form a bond with is a quick and easy way to convey that.
And of course the MCU has never needed an excuse for gratuitous continuity nods/cameos.

- “Pepper and I are getting married! And she’s pregnant! Look, I’ve got a photo. I can’t wait to see her after this over...”
- “Tony, are you okay? You don’t sound like yourself.”
- “Nah, just settling a bet with Thor. He says that Gozer death goddess chick who kicked his ass intentionally goes after people who say crap like that. That’s all bullshit, of course, so I’m gonna prove him wrong.”

Tony's Fatal Family Photo is just a picture of him with his two robots.
The New York Times did a neat profile on him a few days ago
. Nice to see a director that doesn't run their set like a bully.
Waititi's favorite gag, according to his star, Chris Hemsworth, was to "forget" his set mike was on and then to perform complaints about his leading actor, midtake, for everyone to hear: "Ah, we should've got the other Chris. Chris Pine, Chris Pratt, anything but Hemsworth." Then there'd be a muffled scrabbling, and Waititi would say, "Oh, crap — sorry, guys, sorry."

Well, they are getting hyped about an upcoming film adaptation of an anime and I am being an asshole.
I still have no idea how they're going to work that scene into live-action.
This song needs more love.

Why the f*ck would some kid Tony knew for five minutes show up to speak at his funeral? Harley's the kind of speaker you turn to because there was literally nobody close to the departed so you're forced to just pick someone who met him once and didn't have too negative of an opinion from the experience.
