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.

I legitimately can't tell if that's a joke or Cyclops actually did that once.

Its low class homes, low class.

I mean Ultimate Nick Fury fucked every single female member (of age I hope) of his ex-wife's family as well as all of her friends & general social network.

Its pretty gross.

[up] Actually he only did that cause his dead wife influenced him via her God-like psychic powers from beyond the grave.

The same people who thought it was okay to write a person mentally influencing their still living spouse to make out with another person her own grave to save the future.

God, let's not go with Ultimate Universe, that's just gross.

In this case its more Jean Grey is just crazy.

As well as Emma Frost has no standards but then again she has raped Cyclops before so making out on Jean's grave is just a kick to the gut really.

Well, I mean, there's that time where the Avengers (Trigger warning: this is actually gross and involves rape) collectively let Miss Marvel go with her rapist to his rape dimension. Said rapist just admitted he has mind control technology which has already been used on her coz she clearly wants to and there's nothing weird about that. Oh and she had just given birth to said rapist too.

Compared to that Cyclops is fucking classy.

Okay I appreciate the trigger warning on there, it's good to see someone actually use that with the intended meaning instead of just making an ableist "lol triggered" joke.

Aside from that, if anyone heard a loud scream outside, that was probably me screaming with pure undiluted rage.

I think that we can be pretty sure that the MCU won't ever touch that particular cluster fuck of a story.

Or the more surly parts of the Ultimate universe.

Also the X-Men's more dickish moves.

I have hope that if they ever write Cyclops for something they will never start calling him hitler.

Grant Morrison wrote the Cyclops thing.

The end of his run was weird and bad except for the psychic scottish whale.

That's a good question.

In this case I meant that she had a Scottish accent.

Errr... mind accent? I mean.... wait... what

Like... most of it?

Besides the whole "Being weirded out by incest is so 1940s" there's also Ultimate!Wolverine's thing with Ultimate!Jean Grey. Who is a teenager. And looks like a Teenager. And he does not.

Or the Blob sexting (I think it was Beast?) and pretending to be a girl online to honey trap him into giving out info?

Like, I glad the Ultimate universe gave us Miles Morales, but a lot of the ultimate universe was just WEIRD shit.

[up] Indeed.

To anyone who defends the Ultimate Universe don't. It was a real fuckfest in the end & its death was for the best.

I'm not saying that Mer-Max should be given a team-up book with Cosmo but also where is their team-up book?

(In all seriousness I would read a new Pet Avengers if it had Cosmo the psychic russian spacedog, Redwing the vampire falcon, Lockjaw self explanatory, and Hockey Hoof Hank who is the Thor that looks like a horse and actually is a horse)

We don't even know how an Asgardian becomes worthy. I'm not ready to jump down the rabbit hole of what makes a horse worthy.

But anyway.

[up] Damn you for that pun and damn me that I didn't think of it first.

If they do another Thor movie we need to get Beta Ray Bill in here. It's time for the series to dive all in on the cosmic side of things.
