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.

Going by the comics, Steve and Bruce should have daddy issues.

Steve doesn't have daddy issues in the MCU, he was born after his father already died.

Drax and Punisher have issues with being fathers. Namely, that they aren't.

Infinity War has now passed Civil War and Iron Man 3, and is hot on the tail of Black Panther.

It should make a big jump tomorrow, when it opens in China. After that, we might get a feeling of how high it can go.

What are you talking about? Clearly Drax has adopted Mantis and to a lesser extent the other Guardians so he's dadding at a much higher level than Castle

You're right. Clearly, Frank needs to join the Defenders and up his dad game.

Oh god

Well Matt does have daddy issues and probably so does Danny

Jessica and Luke will not be participating in this activity even though Luke also has father issues

Gun Dad is the best dad for the Defenders.

That or he jumps over to the DC universe for this.

The MCU's got a few good dads. We got Gun Dad, Arrow Dad, Tattoo Dad, and a surrogate Iron Dad.

Car Crash Mom, who rigorously screens her daughter's boyfriends, and takes her up on a ferris wheel for some mother-daughter bonding? tongue

Jessica Jones, Season 2, kinda spoiler-y.

No, the description put there is something from Jessica Jones, Season 2. Dunno if I should go into detail because spoilers.

And done in a nice way that only someone who's actually watched the season will understand.

So again, Bravo. You've received praise from Handsome Rob...

I'll give you time to feel properly ashamed.tongue

Oh, no, I'm not ashamed at all.

It's nice to receive praise and worship from mortals such as yourself from time to time.
