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.

[up] Note that the title of the video is actually misleading, there's no saving of Vision actually going on in the clip, and it's just a promotional clip of the movie of a short conversation.

[up]If this is true, thank you. Because I saw there was a video and scrolled down before either the title or thumbnail loaded, only to be greeted by Swan’s post.

So seriously, spoiler talk has its own thread. Use it.

Yeah that's a super clickbait title.

Yeah, thanks.....let's just agree to not talk about Infinity War at all over here.

So...we were talking about Age of Ultron?

For any of the current heroes, is there any story you want them to use?

The title was misleading. There were clearly more than three Iron Mans.

I am interested to see how Infinity War impacts Agents of Shield...and how the time-line works out.

The Defenders show up but every time Danny says something he is pointedly ignored. Whenever he defeats a Mook someone else insists that they actually did it. Right before the climax he runs off crying and no one notices.

Hawkeye sucks because he uses a dumb outdated form of weaponry. Arrows are lame, Hawkguy.

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

If I'm gonna be honest, I've pretty much soured on film Hawkeye after rewatching the MCU movies. He's kinda dull.
