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.

Not really an alternate ending, just switching which scene is the ending and which scene is the first post-credits stinger.
They definitely made the right call there, though. While the UN scene is very reminiscent of Iron Man's press conference at the end of the first MCU film, the symmetry with the basketball court outside the condemned apartment brings a really cool symmetry to the film. But instead of a young kid looking up and seeing a murder that would turn him into a grudge-bearing supervillain, it's a young kid looking up and seeing a superhero.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I’d still be down for a Latino superhero, or a Latino anyone but a thief (even if the character is cool enough) that’s actually Latino and not an alien.
I just remembered really annoying myself the last time I looked for any examples so I’ll stop there.
And given the order, I prefer what the film did.
Without ever having read a comic, I vote for Silver Claw. And here are my reasons:
1. It's a power we haven't seen yet in the MCU.
2. Shapeshifting? That is just cool. And with the current technology, they could do something amazing with it.
3. It's someone who actually grew up in South America and not someone who grew up in the US who just happens to have South American roots. We need more international heroes in the MCU.
4. More females are also always welcome.
5. They could do the paternal relationship Jarvis has with her with Vision instead. This could create an interesting dynamic.
Re: Captain Marvel and Black Widow: No matter what, they aren't Wonder Woman. They never had any hope to create quite the same initial hype. But I think their movies will still be very welcome.
Not a character I'm familiar with!
America Charves, Sam Alexander, Miles Morales, White Tiger are the obvious ones. Of course the real appeal of Black Panther was that almost the entire supporting cast also got to be black.
Asian super heroes, it gets even more difficult.
Silk, Amadeus Cho, Shang-Chi, Khamala Khan, Fazia Hussain (Excalibur/Captain Britain that one time)
A Ms Marvel film is just a matter of time (I predict she'll turn up as soon as Peter graduates and pinch his genre from him) and I could totally see America Charves getting a film and Fazia Hussain being a supporting character as captain Britain. Which is something I've never considered until now.
Not America Chavez. Anyone, ANYONE but America Chavez. It’s hard to remember a comic character I have disliked more, besides maybe Judas Traveller.
But yeah, while there’s plenty of black superheroes, Latinos have almost no one and Asians have it even worse.

No, but we had an argument before about the quality of her first volume.
I’ll concede the quality part (you can read my review on her series’s trope page), but the character is not at all unredeemable.

She once punched a black hole to death and said that the laws of physics could kiss her ass
She's pretty rad
Forever liveblogging the AvengersA Google search tells me that apparently Amadeus Cho was in the Incredible Hulk as a one-off white guy. Who made that decision and how many angry bees do I need to send them?

This song needs more love.> America is obnoxious, it's true. But I kind of admire her for it?
Do you mean the country or the person
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverThat was only Cho if you go by the novelization. Novelizations often add extra details.
In the film, he's just credited as "Computer Nerd". He's the guy in the computer lab at Culver University that Banner bribes with pizza in exchange for time on the computers. The novelization apparently felt it would be a great shout-out to declare him to be Amadeus Cho.
So to answer your question, author J.E. Bright is who you would send your bees to.

This song needs more love.Just a whole bunch of Ant Man legacy characters spill out.
Hank Pym, Janet Van Dyne, Nadia Pym, Hope Pym, Scott Lang, Cassie Lang, Rita De Mara, Darren Cross, Eric O'Grady, Bill Foster and Raz Malhotra all burst out of a comically small package in a toy clown car and beat you up.
