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.

Ok, I will ask now:
What phase of Marvel did you consider the best
I like Phase 1 the best, if anything because you can feel the narrative is going for avengers, that i why I forgive that movie for being so simple and straightfoward: almost all complication have been answer somewhere else, is feel like reading comic book with Iron man being #1, capitan being #2 and so own.
Phase 2 feel on the other hand...kinda a mess, with movie star clashing with each other, granted it give us GOTG and Winter soldier but the rest is....meh.
And so far Phase 3 is....ok I guess? I have yeah to see Ragnarok or homecoming, Civil war is nice but very melodramatic for me and to sappy but im HYPE as hell for black panther, so that is something I guess.
In fact, I will said marvel for phase 3 is VERY diferent from phase 1.

Honestly, I think every phase was inventive and exciting in its own way. But just in terms of quality, I think Phase 3 is (so far) the strongest, because so far it hasn't produce a Thor the Dark World or Ironman 2 yet. But I think one could make a case for Phase 2 due to it having The Winter Soldier AND Got G, which are usually considered the strongest movies in the MCU.

Oh, speaking of Netflix, I just remembered: the other day I saw a Daredevil DVD set. I was just... baffled.
My various fanfics.![]()
You can buy Orange Is the New Black on DVD, and i know a number of people who have seen it this way. Some people would rather own the one show forever as opposed to subscribing to a streaming service.
Vérymelon: well, the is only Black Panther and infinitive war left dosent it? So I think is work asking.
Swampride: on the other hand phase three have give us things like doctor strange and antman, two terrible genéric movies that kinda borrow the same iron man 1 arc.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"I think is kinda around phase two were the bad reputation of Marvel as genéric kinda show up, in part because it kept using origins stories as antman or doctor strange, while their best movie as civil war, winter Soldier and GOTG 2 are sequels, while homecoming for my knowlage skip the origin enterely.
Which is drive to question how they will introduce future chararters, im hype for Black Panther but that is because he show up in civil war, maybe they will taste other héroes first before doing movies.

True, but Doctor Strange also has better acting. So there is that.
Also it's story isn't a ripoff of Dances with Wolves.
Homecoming is still the first Spiderman movie of the MCU, and is about as much of an "origin story" as Tim Burton's Batman is, so i'd say it counts. And that film got great reception.

So remember that crazy story about Disney buying Fox?
Turns out Comcast (owns Universal) and Verizon want to call dibs on it too.

Would it necessarily be better if it wasn't still wasting actors? Ejiofor was wasted as Mordo, Cumberbatch was a bad pick to play Strange, Wong had nothing to do but stand there, pretend the movie wasn't racist with a token Asian guy, and listen to Cumberbatch make bad jokes, and we've already discussed how Swinton's casting as the Ancient One was, for lack of a better word, bollocks.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?Why benédic is a bad choice? I like him as doctor in the first part but them it turn bland as hero, Mordo dosent di much but I feel intersting as villian(also a Black villian who is calm, that is a plus) I feel the villian was real waste, pretty much vanok all over again.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"While personally I felt Cumberbatch was too safe a pick compared to many of the other actors picked for the MCU, my issue with his actual performance is he's coming off too generically. I don't know if it's the writing or what but he doesn't sell me on the character. He doesn't have a big personality to him that sucks me in. With Downey, Evans, and Hemsworth, they all suck you in as the characters they play, but Cumberbatch doesn't do that for Strange. He plays it too generic and stale.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

Don't have the money on Netflix to catch it right now. I'll also come back later.
