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.

It just occurred to me that if the Fox buyout goes through, Marvel can finally reveal her to be Magneto's daughter.
And after the comics already retconned out that plot point, too.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.But the comics did that during the Permulter says FUCK MUTANTS days.
Though those days became more prominent during his time, but still. I can see them considering back tracking on it maybe.
One Strip! One Strip!I mean, he's still there. He's Chairman of the Board of Directors at Marvel, He's just not involved with the MCU films anymore due to a restructuring, said to be the result of Kevin Feige's discontent with his leadership.
And I specify films. The television side of the MCU as well as all other Marvel properties still answer to him.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Hence the Inhumans tv series I guess.
Well, maybe they'll push him out of that as well. The guy ruined the Inhumans pretty thoroughly.

One Strip! One Strip!Until I see Magneto run into a wall I'll have to consider the Whizzer as Quicksilver's real dad
Based on them both running into walls frequently
Forever liveblogging the AvengersIs it really important that the twins are Magnetos children?
Anyway, I don't think that Disney will buy anything else anytime soon. Last time they managed to rake in the cash they paid within a few years due to a string of really successful movies. This time around, well, even if the Disney continues to print money they will need some time to have cash again. Especially since a lot of stuff they took over from Fox isn't exactly profitable. They had to take the bad with the good this time around.
The twins can and have existed without Magneto for a while, but it's kind of like asking if it was important for Thunderbolt Ross to show up again in Civil War. Technically it didn't have to be the guy with a hate-on for the Hulk, no, it wasn't "important", but it adds something to the setting to have that connection.
The twins real parents are the retcons by this point
Relatedly, I think their parentage should be retconned every few years
I want their parents to turn out to be Ultron and Captain America someday
Forever liveblogging the AvengersAnd then once Tony was back to normal, he had to immediately and frantically check that his penis still existed.
My various fanfics.So I saw homecoming and vulture have something against tony stark....Ok, HOW many people have something against Tony star? Stein, Vanko, Killian, Ultron in a way,Wanda, Pietro., Zemo(well, kinda...)...them tony pick fight against Cap and Bucky.....
It seen Tony really have a thing for pissing people off.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"You don't make as much money as Tony does without grinding some people beneath your boot

She was? That had to have been painful.
