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 feel like if that's how Quill is gonna act this whole movie, eventually someone's gonna deck him.

If I was going to take bets on who's going to punch Peter Quill first... I'd say Gamora.

He should. With all the shit he's been through, I'd be surprised if he didn't have a massive headache.

That being said, for all the shit he's put other people through, it's fitting.

The best thing to do with the Infinity Gauntlet.

And then she uses the Mind Stone on Kilgrave for some well-earned revenge-catharsis.

So, is anyone else making an effort to not see these clips that are trickling down onto the web?

When I see an MCU movie, I want to go in blind. Though I somehow have a nasty habit of finding spoilers when I lurk around here. It's how I accidentally found out the fates of Quicksilver, Yondu, and Zuri.

I'm the same. I only watch promotional material if I'm unsure about seing the film.

I spoil myself miserably. The minute spoilers are out for things I do my best to seek them out.

I don't really care much about spoiling stuff for myself but I haven't really felt much of an urge to watch every promotional clip for Infinity War. Mainly because there have been so many little clips released recently and the movie will be out soon enough that I feel like I can just wait. I'm looking forward to the movie but I'm not that overly anxious to know everything I can about it.

I check them out to see the hype moments but I don't go out of my way to see new footage either, and of the stuff I do see I try not to overanalyze it in case there's hidden spoilers. I overextended myself on Civil War by not sticking to that but doing that worked for Black Panther since it built hype for the incredible art design without revealing much of the plot or character motivations.

Well, this particular one looks tempting, but honestly, I rather want to see it in context. Less then two weeks now.

Im want to ask a thing here:

What the hell happen to Sif? I mean her actress wasnt there to die in ragnarok at the hand of super edgy girl, so......what happen to the chararter.

Also, I know this wont probably get answer...but what happen to lorelai? you know the female asgardian rapist who rape ward? she was sent to asgard, isnt? maybe she got free in the whole ragnarok thing.

[up] I think Waititi said Loki had Sif exiled while he was pretending to be Odin. Dunno about Lorelei she was presumably either killed in the invasion or escaped in the chaos. Unless the other Asgardians decided to bring any prisoners along with them when they fled instead of just leaving them to their fate.

Hopefully Lol was stuck there.

She was a rapist after all, good riddance.
