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.

I guess its an issue of accessibility. But I totally support someone going through the Thor scrips and changing all his and other Asgardian dialogue to iambic pentameter.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersIt also doesn't help that, as far as I can tell, his most recent cinematic appearance has turned him into a knuckle-dragging moron from South Beach. Who just happens to have an accent.

Hmm, that is a good question as to who is the equivalent to Steppanwolf.
I would have to say Ronan.
Both villains are good starter villains for the team to fight with their own army of generic alien mooks who are searching for an artifact of doom to lay waste on a planet. But are so criminally underdeveloped that people criticized the film for having a weak villain.
But another villain I would compare him to Kacelleous, but for that villain at least we get to see his master in action unlike Steppanwolf’s.
Also yes to more female Marvel villains. Since Hela kind of also doubles as Enchantress for this film, other Marvel villainess I want to see includes: Crimson Cowl (& her Masters of Evil), Moonstone, Queen Vereneke (now that the rights to FF are back), Mystique (now that the rights to X-Men are back) . . . uh, Madam Masque (though I’m not sure they would do another Iron Man movie) . . . man the Marvel rogue gallery sure is a sausagefest now that I think about it. There really is a small pool of major female villains. Especially compare to DC! I mean I can list a fuckton of major female DC villains (including Wonder Woman villains which is cheating):
- Cheetah
- Giganta
- Circe
- Doctor Poison
- Doctor Cypher
- Morganne Le Fay (who is also a Marvel villainess that isn’t from X Men)
- Roulette
- Granny Goodness (& her Female Furries)
- Catwoman
- Lady Shiva
- Poison Ivy
- Talia al Ghul
- Madam Rogue
- Chesire
- Blackfire
- Tigress
- Livewire
- Silver Banshee
- Emerald Empress
- Queen Bee
- The Queen of Fables
- Queen of the Royal Flush Gang
- Lady Blitzkrieg
- Shazam’s hell bitch of a daughter (I think her name is literally Hellblazer, I kind of forgot)
- Harlequin . . . all three versions of her from three Earths. No seriously, there are three Earth version of her. There’s the one from Earth 1 who has an obsessive crush on the Joker. One from Earth 2 who was only a villain just to bang Green Lantern. And one from Earth 3 who is the literal daughter of that universe’s Joker (a hero) and ended up on Earth 1 somehow where she antagonizes Robin.

So...
I just realized something the Thor movies have been missing.
I gotta say, I rather miss Thor's faux Shakespearean put downs. He's too..modern in the MCU. The thing is, it took me a while to truly notice too.
It still saddens me that we never got a Ultron, we would have words with thee! from him in Age of Ultron (which I still like, so no, you guys can't use this as evidence that the movie is bad. Find your own proof!) because that's such a big thing for Thor.
Yeah. We need Thor to lay down some solid smack talk in Infinity War. Without a doubt.
