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.

Arbitrary questionnaire:
What Marvel character do you most want to see in a movie? In a Netflix? On a network?
Forever liveblogging the AvengersBlack Cat is a DC character though!
I want a squirrel girl movie,with She Hulk and Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)

have a listen and have a link to my discord serverKamala Khan is my number one want. But I'm happy to wait for Peter to age up a little so I don't have to listen to people complaining about her being a SJW Spider-man ripoff.
Netflix series; Blade. Absolutely Blade. Two years ago I'd have said Cloak and Dagger, but they've gone to network.
On Network, give me She-Hulk. I'd love her to be on a more prestigious platform, but she has tonal issues with the Netflix verse and a block buster film won't let her spend her time dealing with cooky lawyer stuff. Though I would be happy to have her become a supporting character in the Netflix shows. Like, barely any explanation; one of the supporting lawyer characters is seven foot tall, green and stacked.
Outside of that, I think Electra would benefit from a spin off. She's best when she's not wrapped up in some other person's plot.
Monica Rameau's Spectrum deserves a film, but I expect she's going to be demoted to supporting cast for Carol.
Scarlet Witch getting a film series where she interacts with the supernatural (in contrast with Strange's Cosmic) is a pet want of mine.
Espanol Bloodstone kaiju film. Cash in on the genre resurgence and have a red headed brit with a massive pony tail take on Fing Fang Foom.
Edit: If we get mutants in the MCU I'd gladly have a Storm solo film long before we get an X-men film. Also let Nightcrawler have a film where he's a pirate/priest/jester in hell.

Those times before Disney brought Marvel were dark times,as far as their films are concerned,with the exception of spiderman
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverBut it made me sad!
Edit: looks like Agents of Shield will be giving the MCU it's first Thunderbolts team

In a way, Killgrave won
But in another way he really didn't want to die
Let's call it a draw

Forever liveblogging the AvengersYeah, Luke Cage season 1 ends with him going to jail, but having left the neighborhood on the mend, most the criminal organizations threatening everyone in disarray with everyone - most importantly him - unworried and confident that he'll be out of jail before long. It's significantly more uplifting tone-wise than Jessica Jones, which has her finding "victory" (an even then, more like bitter closure, since ultimately she failed at what she set out to do) at the expense of everything she was trying to protect and her own ability to be happy.
On the whole, he's the only Netflix hero (at least at the time) to leave the world around him brighter and happier than it was before he started.

That in general they can branch out is an additional matter...in ALL directions. Africa, Asia, Australia but also Europe.
