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][up]Ok, hate is a strong word but is clear that Steve and Tony dosent really seen close, which I can get why Wheedon did it in order to foreshow Civil war...

Is just that they took all of thiws and throw away consider the lack of meaningfull interaction.

[up]Kinda, Neither Steve or T Ony care about that much of the accords, each one is doing by their own selfish reasons, the only I see actually take the accord for what it was is rhodey and....well, you see how he ended.

No one cares about the accords, out-universe of course.

[up][up] Knowing Cap, he would be desperately naive enough to hope for the 0.1% chance that Bucky wasn't the assassin and didn't want to accept the truth himself without absolute proof.

They were fighting with each other and Tony was ready to give Cap the leadership of the Avengers despite he himself being kind of a control freak. Naturally they are friends. But friends with issues, due to the role Howard played in both of their lives.

One should never forget that the movies just show a glimpse in the relationship of the Avengers. There is a lot of time and interaction we never get to see.

[up]We dont see=we dont care, is very bad to claim stuff happen but off screen, you can said anything about wheedon but the bar scene was escencial to establish this guys are actually friend and not just a evil busting team.

And I know nobody care about the accords but it make their fight less intersting and more of a soap opera drama.

also Im with Jovian, Tony going murderish is just quite over-the-top.

[up] Yes, the bar scene and the fight itself, when they move practically in sync. To me it is enough to know "yes, those people trust each other and see each other as friends".

One of the biggest disappointments about CW for me is that we never actually get to see the entire "New Avengers" team on even one mission together before they splinter apart.

Also thus far in the MCU the "fallout" from CW has been practically nonexistent.

[up][up]No, it just mean they are good work parner(and not even that consider the whole vision scene) not friends.

[up]I remenber voicing that isseu to Adric in the CW thread: when thanos come to give is infiny slapping to everyone, a fight between friend looks....quiant.

Have seen the spoilers I admit I feeling a pretty evil urge of spoilering someone.

I woundt do it of course, but having the power to do so really bring a smile on my face....

I kinda get Thanos now.

Joking about wanting to spoil people. Given that half the thread recently has been talking about avoiding spoilers, going “I’m not gonna spoil but I really want to, muahaha...” seems in poor taste.

The Watcher lives there too

He's so lonely, so desperately lonely

Also I think if we move the clock up Asgard is there instead of the Inhumans but tradeoff, Nick Fury is there instead of the Watcher

Inhumans? What Inhumans? There aren't any Inhumans outside Ao S, and I stick to that story.

[up]By that reasoning Hydra is just aa bunch of neo nazis rather than a alien cult.

Really mixing Ao S and movie verse is really awkard.

Hydra being an ancient alien cult that got co-opted by the Nazis happened in the comics which just goes to show that comics be bonkers.
