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.

Let's just hope that Fox doesn't mess up their properties until then with strange projects....

[up] No, there are a lot of speculations flying around, but they are usually BS, just wild speculations with little basis. The deal is moving forward right on schedule.

The CW does comic books incredibly well because it's the network that has Supernatural episodes where Scooby Doo shows up and there's a suicidal giant teddy bear.

[up]My hatred of Felicity and people overpraising Sara Lance is balanced by love of all things gloriously insane that show does.

I just want Punisher to join the Defenders, then for the Netflix shows to cross over with the movies so we can have Drax, Hawkeye, and Punisher bonding over being each of their team's Team Dad.

Constantine is also a great show as I heard.

Even when transformed into a cartoon, its still really good.

I’ve said it before, but my ideal Defenders cameo in Infinity War is Jessica looking outside at Thanos’ spaceship, draining a bottle of bourbon, and closing the blinds.

What I want to see is a couple of NYPD officers trying to arrest Thanos, but to no avail.

"Your Honor, my client simply wants what many people want: a family. The defendant is the closest thing he has to a grandchild, and let the record show that Thanos is the legal owner of the Mind Stone, he simply lent it to Loki temporarily for a business venture."

"Loki failed to deliver the promised Tesseract as per his contract and therefore control of the Mind Stone returns to its original owner, to whit, Thanos."

I'm guessing Infinity War will open with Loki giving Thanos the Tesseract so he won't blow them all up, and he'll try to play it as, "No, this was totally the plan all the time. I wouldn't let you down, big guy."
