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.

I will admit that Wanda's kind of boring. I like her fine, but something's missing...
Maybe she needs a tiara?
Oh God! Natural light!Feige says not to get excited about the X-Men or Fantastic Four anytime soon

Well, the first change already happened...suddenly Marvel is publishing the Fantastic 4 again.
Anyway, just based on the math, the earliest we get to see either an X-men or a fantastic 4 movie related movie would be in 2023 anyway...because even if we assume that there are plans around, just in case, the deal won't go through before 2019, meaning that they can't do anything before that anyway. And until they have a working script, found a director aso and wrapped up production, well, it takes some time to finish a movie.
I'm going to watch Infinity War on sunday. Wish me luck on avoiding spoilers until then.
By the way, you know That Thing That Was Leaked Before Even The First Trailer Came Out? That Thing With The Hulkbuster? That hasn't been shown in any of the trailers I've seen so far, so I'm thinking it's information we aren't meant to know and it'll be a twist in the film proper.

Don't know what that's all about, and I'm not even going to ask about it. Because SPOILERS.
By the way, the world premiere in Los Angeles is happening today. As such, Thanos demands your continued silence.
(But how are we supposed to do that while still being able to do Twitter things?)
(Basically, go to settings on Twitter and mute the word "Infinity War" for 7 days. Do this for probably the characters and whatever.)

What do you mean, Banner piloting the Hulkbuster? Because while it hasn't been explicitly shown it's generally common knowledge.
On it's second night in Saudi Arabia, Black Panther sold out in 45 secs[1]
So they thumped my post.....yeah, it was a pretty bad joke, sorry about it Adric, also it wasnt about you being defensive, it was more a reference of you complaing about the thread going back to that theme...but it kinda blow in my face.
Meh, moving on on that.
I have to admit is weird not caring that much about infinite war, I care more about is repercutions but for the rest I feel meh, right now I asking myself how that would affect AOS, if Tony or Cap dies, Coulson would be crush and making Coulson sad is awfull
The Wrap has more details on The Eternals
:
According to Marvel.com, Sersi can manipulate cosmic energy to grant herself virtual immortality, invulnerability, and reshape the molecules of other people or objects.
Sersi was an Avenger for quite a while in the 90s.

Only thing I've read with her in it was Infinity Gauntlet, where she dies, like, a few pages in.
When was the last time she showed up?
Oh God! Natural light!Well, there was Ant-Man. It was very silly! But a lot of fun as long as you don't take it seriously. On any level. I can't call it good, but it was a stupid kind of fun (emphasis on the "stupid"). The plot was predictable, the characters were boring when they weren't offensively stereotypical, and the entire movie ignored the basic premise of its own phlebotinum (that pym particles alter your size without changing your mass). None of which actually mattered, because the only part of the movie that they got right was the only part that was important: cool action scenes! The choreography of the fights themselves was nothing to write home about, but the visuals on basically all of the shrink scenes were excellent and they were a lot of fun to watch even when it was just stupid stuff like the Training Montage.
Honestly, this didn't really feel like an MCU movie. That's not a bad thing, it's just... weird. They spent years building up a movie franchise that revolves around treating superhero stories seriously, with real stakes and lasting consequences instead of a lighthearted campy action flick... and then they made a lighthearted campy action flick. Who greenlit that pitch, seriously?
Anyway, the movie was pretty bad in almost every respect but I still had fun with it. I can't even rank it against the rest of the MCU. It's like trying to say which is more delicious: cotton candy or steak. They're just too damn different to compare properly.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien."They spent years building up a movie franchise that revolves around treating superhero stories seriously, with real stakes and lasting consequences"*
....Really? I dont feel MCU is that serious at all, the only really serious movies were Winter soldier and Civil war(both by the russo brothers) while all other joke and lampshade a fair deal.

The Hashtag show is reporting that the Black Widow movie will be a prequel set 15yrs after the fall of the Soviet Union[1]
