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.

Agreed on the humor especially on repeated watchings. The Mary Poppins joke wasn't all that great to begin with and only gets worse every time I watch the movie. Taserface was tired before the first watching was even done.

This song needs more love.I mean it was a nice scene, I just don't think the joke itself was particularly strong is all.
To clarify, I'm just talking about the "I'm Mary Poppins y'all" line. Yondu floating down on an arrow like her is awesome.

This song needs more love.It's a funny thing with Got G 2. I SHOULD be put off more by some of its issues (certain jokes not landing even though I like them more than others do, mood whiplash), but I can't bring myself to not love the movie to bits. Just some really, really fantastic highs in there, particularly Yondu's sacrifice and funeral...actually most everything to do with Yondu come to think of it. One of the best characters in the entire MCU I swear, and it took just one movie to manage that.
On my wave, passing oooooooonI am also back from Infinity War. I'm agog, aghast, and other words that start with a.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersWhile a lot of GOTG 2's humour did fall flat for me the things that really bother me about the film are more serious stuff.
"And when the last law was down and the Devil turned round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"I'm fine with GOTG 2's humor because I'm all for crude humor.
It was balanced out with a great villain Ego the Living Planet.
Watch SymphogearGoing to see it tonight, see you all on the other side.
That I said
I really, really hope that you aren’t trying to be coy about something that happens. People who do that are never as subtle as they think they are, and what you just posted makes me think that I’m going to see someone or some city full of people or something get incinerated.
Sooner or later it was going to happen,it's going to get harder and harder to keep the spoilers out as more people see the film
Which is why I must remind everyone that we do have a separate thread for infinity war spoilers,which can be found here
Don't click the above link unless you want to be spoiled,you have been warned.

have a listen and have a link to my discord serverHaving the second discussion really helps...and I think nobody here really wants to pull a Forbes.
Hopefully next time around Disney doesn't show the movie AT ALL, so that nobody can spoil anything before opening day....screw the critics. The people who want to watch the movie will do it anyway. And screw marketing, too. Don't show anything from the movie, just remind everyone that this is the movie they HAVE to see.

I thought the jokes in Got G 2 were overall worse but most of the first one's landed for me.
