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.

When she decides to go back to the place Ward showed her in order to discover the truth for example.
Yep, while Harold is the one who lets her into the elevator, she is the one who decides to go there to figure out what Ward wanted to show her. And then she is the one who takes down the Hand's drug operation, which, according to her, makes her feel happy. And when she discovers that Harold just used her too, and the extend of how Ward and him left her in the dark, she leaves. You know, I was first slightly p... that he picture wasn't at the wall, but then I realized that the company isn't really what Joy wanted. She felt that she wanted to keep her position because she had worked so hard for it, but in the end, this is just another symbol of Harold's control. So in the end, she is the one who shakes herself free of those chains while Ward is the one who keeps stuck in the live, but accepts it as some kind of atonement for everything he did in Harold's name. Ideally she will now go undercover in order to learn everything about the hand so that she can take it down one day for good (at least in terms of financial connections), because she has the ability to do so and this is actually something she truly enjoys doing.

This article is kind of hilarious now that Ragnarok did kill characters and have them stay dead, so far anyway. http://www.cracked.com/article_25011_we-need-more-deaths-in-marvel-movies-no-seriously.html
Uncle Ben never really died, though. He lives on in our hearts...
...And in our stomachs as Uncle Ben's Ready Rice. Comes in twenty-three different varieties. And if you order our Great Power Rice in the next fifteen minutes, you'll get a package of our Great Responsibility Rice with it for free!

That cracked article is not really right about the Groot thing either. Although it wasn't immediately clear at the end of GOTG 1.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersRagnarok doesn't really kill important characters, though, which is what the article is referring to. Even Odin has gotten increasingly less major a character as the series went on. It actually does a different kind of killing that sometimes gets criticism: callously and abruptly cleaning house of the series' previous supporting cast so that it can focus on its all new concept instead.
It's the same kind of "I'm not using these characters, so let's just kill 'em off!" mentality that Batman V Superman got in a little bit of trouble for.
