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.

They aren't acknowledging them, but they aren't contradicting them either. None of the films have mentioned the recent Inhuman outbreak, but they have mentioned that there's a rise of superpowers in general. For the most part, the shows are just too small-scale for the films to care.

One the other hand, that dosent mean it the Inhumans, it just a way to said there is other heroes, consider how Black Panther, antman and Spiderman debut in this film....
Now while it dosent contradict anything, it kinda become very weird when some element dosent register in the movie, the whole Hive plot should alert the avenger, or a léast cap consider is HYDRA we are taking about.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"I don't expect the films to ever reference the shows.
But it does feel like the shows aren't referencing the films as much anymore. I wonder if it's kosher film-rights-wise for the Netflix shows to make mention of some weird stuff that went down in Queens and the weird new hero patrolling there?
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!When the whole thing with Hive was going on, the Avengers were kind of busy taking airports apart. (btw, it is kind of funny that Ross is chewing out the Avengers for having lost two "nukes" while the US military already has lost something along the line). And don't forget that there are some things which happen between the movies we never got to see. Ie the Avengers taking out Hydra after The Winter Soldier (and acting on information Hill gets from Coulson).
More important - no. But they weren't necessarily the best team for the job, either. The Ao S knew what Hive was and had the tools to defeat him.
Plus, what was going on wasn't public knowledge. So unless either the government or Coulson had decided to inform them, there was nothing to do. Not that there was much left to inform. With cap on the run and War machine hurt the only ones left were Tony (who is the last person the government would tell this kind of secret) and vision.

It's been kosher, so far as I know. Sony only holds the film rights to Spider-Man; the TV rights are at Marvel. However, they said back when they started making shows that they didn't want to put any character into the shows whose film rights aren't in their hands.
Like, there's theoretically nothing stopping Luke Cage from fighting Doctor Doom, but he won't because Marvel doesn't want the sticky web that comes from using characters that are legal in one medium of the franchise but not in another.
In fact, that's why Marvel's co-producing The Gifted: Fox had to strike a deal with them to make shows based on their X-universe, because Marvel owns the X-Men's TV rights.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.But... but where's my money, honey?
I love that the "where's my money, honey?" story shows that not only does Luke Cage take no crap from nobody, but he's also petty enough to beat up the ruler of a sovereign nation over $200. I mean, granted, adjusted for inflation, $200 was worth a lot more back then, but still.
The very best, like no one ever was. Check out my Spider-Man fanfic here! [1]Don't forget that the Netflix-verse is still a few years behind everything else. Spider-Man isn't active yet, SHIELD is still in hiding, and no one knows what Inhumans are.

That's right, $200 was a lot of money back in 2016. (
That's the joke.)
The plot of the next Defenders teamup, I'm calling it.

Nah, I meant back in the 70s/80s... Did the Netflix show also have a $200 plotline? I haven't seen it.
It's mostly Jessica who does that. Daredevil doesn't mention them, being very insular, Danny wouldn't know who they were at first, and Luke Cage has no problem mentioning them, going so far as to use Hammertech as at least two major plot points, depending on how you count them.
And it makes sense for Jessica. She knows their names. She's just being snide.

Do you think the films aren't acknowledging the events of the shows?
