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.

Bucky was used as a weapon, a gun, and he has as much culpability for his crimes as one. The solution is the same, too: just keep him out of the hands of bad people.

Between this and Jessica Jones it's pretty apparent that mind control intersects poorly with the judicial system.

Uh-oh.

During a visit to the Infinity War set by Screen Rant and other outlets, actor Mark Ruffalo revealed the relationship between the Black Widow and his character will once again come into focus. “They’re star-crossed lovers, so it’ll be something they’re dealing with for the rest of their lives,” he teased. “Whether it’s requited or unrequited, I don’t imagine that’s gonna go away any time soon in one iteration or another.”

I liked their romance, so I'm happy they're following up on it.

I suppose they felt like it was important enough that they couldn't just sweep it under the rug.

Still, wasn't it one of the least well-regarded elements of the film? Why keep it around?

[up] That...seems like overkill.

Good, there's no reason to just sweep that under the rug. They can resolve it in a civilized manner, and then move the characters on from there.

EDIT: Seriously, this isn't the second coming of the Apocalypse people...That won't be until the X-Men's Phase 5 movie.

Alright, enough with the rage, I think.

I had a feeling they would address this, ever since we saw that brief shot of Bruce and Natasha in the first trailer (I believe that's when it was). It didn't look like a romantic scene, though, so maybe it'll be more underplayed.

Voice displeasure without shouting the word "fuck" over and over again. I'm fairly certain this is breaking a rule of some kind.

The displeasure of Ragnarok being the Planet Hulk movie is that Caiera can never show up now.

Which also means no Hulk sons & no Warbound.
