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 do respect Clint Barton

It's not easy being Kate Bishop's sidekick but damn does he pull it off with panache

Also he crossed universes to show up Ollie Queen and invented anti-gravity

Truly he is great

He actually did invent anti-gravity in an early Avengers issue

It wasn't even related to the plot. He invented anti-gravity for fun and then put it on an arrow

And he never even went to college unlike the Wingless Wizard

His personal life being a tire fire is the only thing that stops him from showing up Reed, Tony, and Doom

Seems likely. I still want them to do Kid Loki. Even if we've never seen that level of magic from Loki before.

Avengers 4: This guy shows up.

Tony actually did fight Magneto during Avengers vs. X-Men if I recall. created some kinda armour that made it's own magnetic field too. Though he still only won because Mags sensed the Phoenix Force coming.

I think it was Xmen vs Street Fighter.

That would make the most sense right?

X-Men vs Street Fighter indeed.

Are we to assume that Chun Li is actually a mutant?

So, she has the same power as Batroc the Leaper and the Kangaroo?
