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.

Yeah, I've pretty much given up on Wikia wikis because of spoilers. If you're lucky, there might be a spoiler warning. But that's it. There are still major spoilers right in sight when you first land on the page.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.![]()
Before it was revealed that they were Wakandan I thought the same thing (indeed, I believe the movie was playing bait-and-switch with our expectations) but after the reveal I believed they were planning an attack on a government building - maybe military or police - to jumpstart the revolution.
I was thinking of something along those lines. Some older works (thinking of the novel and film Cotton Comes to Harlem) show con artists financing "back to Africa" campaigns in black neighborhoods, which I think is something that's Older Than They Think, in light of Marcus Garvey. And I also recalled how one character in the sitcom Rising Damp, who is British of African descent, claims to be an African prince, as that affords him a higher status than being a British African.
And it would be great for Luke to catch Turk during one or both of these things as a scam, or to have some dialogue in Harlem about thoughts about Wakanda and Wakandans.

Joe Russo's advice to movie studios aspiring to make their own cinematic universes: DON'T DO IT.
I am 100% down for Turk to have been Obfuscating Stupidity the whole time and for him to go public as a Wakandan when T'Challa makes Wakanda itself public.

Remember that one moment in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 where Stan Lee's cameo had him casually chatting with the Watchers? Well, turns out the MCU wiki explains his presence in that, and why he existed in basically every MCU movie ever. Warning, potential spoilers abound:
