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.

Mythologically, Odin ripped out his own eye for knowledge.
Makes me wonder how it happened here.
Probably doesn't work with what we see in the movies but I'm imagining "Baby Loki! What are you doing with that fork?"
Forever liveblogging the AvengersBaby Loki is what gave him the idea of worthiness in the first place. Adult Thor is what convinced him to implement it.
Though IIRC, he actually lost the eye fighting Laufey.

Still though, who would be the Snake to Cap's Big Boss?
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI guess that makes sense but I wanted him in Cap's miniboss squad.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersNah see, Bucky is the closest we have to an Ocelot in this context. If Cap were Snake, Bucky would be Gray Fox, but since Cap is Big Boss...
Actually, Tony would be the Snake to Cap's Big Boss, with Howard as Kaz. And I think that sorta makes Peter Parker into Raiden
Sam could take Medic's role because pararescue, but I'm not sure he qualifes for the Venom half of the job.

Domestic: $258,184,000 40.3%
- Foreign: $382,700,000 59.7%
= Worldwide: $640,884,000
That's wow.....at this rate they will make as much as Justice League made in its entire run in less than one week.
So, this is interesting: Avengers Infinity War hasten legislation in South Korea
(TL; DR: It limits how many screens future films are allowed to be played simultanously) because of how dominant in Box Office it is. Marvel is literally changing the world.

Is that our first look at Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet Van Dyne?
Anyway, back on the subject of Cap and his friends as Metal Gear characters. Let's see, we have Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, White Wolf (Bucky), and... the adjectiveless Falcon. He needs something in front of his name to complete the set.
Nah its gotta be a color to fit the theme. Problem is, Black and Red are both already taken by Natasha and Wanda.

Well, Odin take in his imperalist phase and them Thor take that from him.
