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.

    Original post 
Since Thor and now Captain America came out this year, I wanted to get what Tropers thought of the concept and execution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in general. Personally I love the idea and wonder why this idea hasn't been seriously tried before. It sorta seems to me like the DCAU in movie form (And well, ummm, with Marvel), and really 'gets' the comic book feel of a shared universe while not being completely alienating.

From a better angle, it's Hulk, Black Panther and Black Widow, with the red hand nobody has been able to identify left. It looks like a glove so probably Captain America or Captain Marvel.

Infinity War LEGO sets. Big spoilers.

Thor does get his axe and the description mentions he and Rocket going to the land of dwarves for a weapon. Guessing Petet Dinklage will be the dwarf blacksmith.

It seems that there is an alternate reality version of Tony in Avengers 4.

Clearly he is Tony Stank, the Iron Fuhrer who conquered the planet in Iron Man: Civil War.

I really, really hope that they go forward with the character instead of going backwards.

Something that just occurred to me: with Disney acquiring Fox and getting the film rights to the X-Men back, a movie that was Black Widow vs. The Hellfire Club could actually be pretty sweet.

[up][up]The first rule of Hellfire Club is you don't talk about Hellfire Club. Even if you're in a movie where they're the main villains, make sure none of them have any lines and the name of the group is barely mentioned even by their ostensible leader.

The Hellfire Club is a secret club run by the super-rich. They're traditional X-Men enemies, in that a lot of them are mutants and most of them seek to influence world events for their own purposes. They have a chess motif, and if you've heard of them at all, it was from when Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost and the rest appeared in X-Men: First Class, although Shaw didn't much resemble his old self personality- or history-wise, and didn't really get to show some of the cooler uses of his kinetic energy-absorbing powers.

I think it would be neat if they became the new Hydra of the MCU.

[up][up][up][up] Not a Comic book reader. All I know about Comic books is based on research...which makes me an odd combination in that I don't approach the source material from a fan-perspective, but also know more than the general audience due to at least having an idea about what the fans praise. That's why I always approach comic book stories from "yeah, this sounds like an interesting concept to adapt" and not from a "oh, that story was great/terrible in the comic books".

[up][up] Thanks...did they mention the Hellfire Club in First Class? I admit, I watched the movie only once.

[up] They were the main villains of that movie. Emma didn't die until they off-screened her in Days of Future Past because fuck female mutants that aren't Jean, Storm, or Mystique...

The Hellfire Club publically is basically a social club where the rich and powerful can indulge in their most "specific" tastes/fetishes. I believe, if I remember correctly, that Tony Stark and Norman Osborn were both members at one point or another.

Privately though, The Inner Circle (the most elite of them) are supervillains planning all sorts of nefarious activities (but most of the other members seem to be unaware of this).
