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.

While this sucks, I can now restart hoping for a Squirrel Girl Team-Up cartoon.

Didn't they already film the season? What the hell happened?

They filmed the pilot and tried shopping it around after Freeform declined it.

I thought they were further along than that. Well that's disappointing. I wonder why they couldn't just stick it on Hulu.

Really? I also thought that they shot the whole season.

Honestly, I am kind of dispassionate about it...It would have been great to see those crazy characters but, well, I kind of would preferred if they went full crazy on the big screen instead of having the shitty CGI the streaming shows provide, and which will only lead to them keeping the actual powers off-screen. Runaways has really put me off the notion of seeing superhero shows on stream, unless they involve powers which aren't particularly elaborate.

They can't bring her in, otherwise she would just defeat Thanos like she did in the comics and what would the Avengers do then?

The writer clarified he was talking about the event in general, not his show. This is the time of year when a lot of pilots are rejected.

Dang. I really hope Squirrel Girl gets brought into the MCU somehow. I really like Doreen.

Hmm, I wonder if the MCU is really ready for the a New Warriors spinoff at this very moment. They should be careful not to spread themselves too thin after the failure of Inhumans. Runaways recouped some of that goodwill but it also hasn't knocked anyone's socks off, and we still have yet to see how Cloak and Dagger will turn out.

I have a really nerdy question; of the five Avenger rosters we see in the MCU, which do we prefer?

We have the original six,

Then the original six plus the Maximoff twins and Vision,

Then Cap, Nat, Sam, Rhodey, Vision and Wanda,

Then Steve's secret Avengers; Clint, Scott, Wanda, Sam and Bucky,

And Tony's mighty avengers, Rhodey, Vision, Peter, Nat and T'challa.

Personaly I love the post Ao U line up. And wish we saw more of that team.

Okay, to clarify, Biegel did not mean that his pilot was not picked up, it was just a joke about an event, and he deleted the tweet that got people scared. About four hours ago he retweeted someone's tweet that tagged the actress who's playing Squirrel Girl, so yeah, it's not dead. Here's hoping they get it on Hulu still.

[up][up][up] I have a good feeling regarding Cloak and Dagger.

Honestly, I was kind of surprised that Runaways was received so well, considering how much the show annoyed me. But I guess the fans of the comics really wanted it to succeed.

I would think Hulu would be the best place for Squirrel Girl.

So apparently some people think Captain Marvel is in the Infinity War Super Bowl spot.

Basically if you look closely in the shot where we see Cap, Black Widow, and Vision you can see a 4th person directly behind Cap. The color scheme of this person's clothing seems to be a match for Captain Marvel's uniform (her iconic blue, red, and gold uniform, not the green one from the leaked set photo).

I'm not jumping to any conclusions personally. For now I'm sticking with my theory that Carol Danvers will only appear either in an epilogue scene or a post-credit scene during Avengers 3, but it's still a possibility to think about.

I'm 100 percent sure that's just Wanda wearing a coat. This is probably after the scene in the trailer where she and Vision are attacked by the Black Order.

[up]x4 Of course its not Captain Marvel, its actually the cosmic hero Quasar making a surprise appearance in the movie. I mean what other cosmic hero will have the red, blue and gold color scheme?

Jesus Christ a lot of cosmic Marvel heroes have a red, blue(sometimes black) and gold color scheme. This is why I’m hoping Carol just stick with the green color scheme just to add some color diversity in costumes since WAAAAAAY too many Marvel heroes have on red.
