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.

Jim Starlin, creator of Thanos, says Brolin nailed it, BTW.

Now I'm tempted to ask if Movie! Titan is the same as our Solar System's Titan if that aspect of Thanos being an Eternal is being kept in the movie

Thanos is coming.

P.S. The Russo Bros. have gone and scrubbed their social media pages so they're only showing that one video.

Spooky, no?

(Bad news if you haven't saved those letters wherein Thanos demands your silence...sad)

Obviously they just need to have Kraglin oneshot Thanos's army.

He's not slated to appear in Infinity War, is he? Wonder where he is, then.

Would be funny if he saw one and that that was an example of super-advanced Stark or Wakanda tech. Or if he had that reaction to seeing a CD player.

HUGE WARNING for all Spoilerphobes. What Forbes did was ignoring Disney's request to be discrete and writing an article listing all the spoilers for the movie. Yeah, no kidding. So, go underground! Naturally avoid Forbes, but above all, avoid all places where trolls might go to ruin the experience for others. Hell, don't even go on the street! Wear ear plugs until you are in the theatre just in case some jack-ass drives by to scream at you some spoiler.

Anyway....

Here is my small list of fan-service moment which might be fun:

Rocket encountering a raccoon. Rocket trying to steal Bucky's arm. Gamora figuring out who Kevin Bacon actually is. Everett Ross saying "No shit Sherlock" and Tony Stark and Dr. Strange are sharing an awkward look. Peter Quill encountering Captain America.

And I want some Falcon and Black Panther scenes. And more Falcon and Bucky interaction.

Wow, seriously? Fuck Forbes, that's a huge dick move, especially with how much Marvel's been pushing not spoiling the film for others.

Ah, Forbes, home of “Black Panther is making too much money, why doesn’t anyone think of Red Widow I mean Sparrow”.

Rocket saw some raccoons in one of the Bendis comics

He was scandalized by their lack of pants

Groot on the other hand had hearts over his head

Yeah, seriously...and yes, I am pretty p.... off, too. I mean, it was too much to hope that none of the reviewers would mention a spoiler or two, but putting out a list of them? Yeah, dick move. Hope that Disney "forgets" to send them an invitation to the premiere of Avengers 4.

On a spoiler-free note, here's Vision's recipe for Paprikash if you want to make it for yourself.
