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.

Here are my predictions
- 1/5/2020: Guardians 3
- 10/7/2020: Doctor Strange 2 (Featuring Moon Knight)
- 6/11/2020: Black Widow
- 7/5/2021: Ms Marvel (Kamala Khan) (Featuring Miss America and maybe Wiccan)
- 31/7/2021: Spiderman 3
- 5/11/2021: Fantastic Four
- 18/2/2022: Black Panther 2
- 6/7/2022: Young Avengers
- 29/7/2022: Valkyrie VS Hercules
Black Panther 2 will definitely come sooner rather than later. If it wasn't before before then it sure as hell is now.

Which is exactly the problem. I said it before but for the record: RT for TV shows doesn't work. Those reviews are always based on the first few episodes and there aren't many shows which have their best episodes in the beginning and not in the end of the season. Especially regarding the netflix shows that's like reviewing half a movie.
We will just have to wait and see. I mean, it is not like we need to pay extra to see it and we can stop watching anytime.
- Daredevil: 86%
- Jessica Jones: 83%
- Luke Cage: 93%
- Defenders: 74%
- Punisher: 62%
- Iron Fist: 19%
- Agents of Shield: 95%
- Agent Carter: 88%
- Inhumans: 10%
- Runaways: 82%
I mean, it's debatable, and I think a number of shows are a bit too high (AOS, Luke Cage, Runaways) and others are a bit too low (Jessica Jones, Punisher), but overall RT isn't panning good shows and praising crappy ones. It isn't putting Agent Carter at 20% and Inhumans over 70. The difference between a 80% and a 90% is and has always been a matter of individual opinion, so I'd say it is about as reliable as it is for movies.
Plus Netflix shows have had writing issues ever since they started to exist. JJ 1 was great in spite of those issues, but it didn't do much to try and solve them, it was just brilliant enough for the viewer to ignore them. If season 2 is not as brilliant as season 1, then the pacing issues are only going to be more glaring - and it's hard to be as brilliant as JJ 1.
Luke Cage got a way higher rating than it deserved because the first half of the season was way stronger than the back-end. Same for Daredevil Season 2. Iron Fist got rated way lower than deserved because it had the best episodes at the back-end, and arguably the same is true for The Punisher. Runaways again got a higher rating because it started out way better than it ended.

I finally saw GOTG and....I actually like it, better than the sequel actually(which it feel it drag until they reach ego), I like how they know each other by tryng to kill themselves it was funny.
What I dont like is Peter being a manchild, since I feel is overused and unecesary, how the pacing can be a little bit to fast here and there and the colector being so wasted.
Also, Ronan is pretty much Malekith done right, if anything, I can see GOTG crossovering with thor any moment of the day.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Question for Doctor Strange fans: thoughts on his extended cameo in Thor Ragnarok?

I want him to use cooler magic spells.
I was quite underwhelmed by how lame most of the magic was.
