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.

Freeform isn't buying it, it's being shopped around still, last we know is that it's still a thing and that a recent scare about it being cancelled was a false alarm and the creator says it's still alive. They might put it on a streaming thing, is what people are suspecting.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?Difference is that Damage Control didn't have a pilot, cast, and a showrunner who explicitly said that it wasn't dead. Last we heard is that New Warriors is alive and well and is still being shopped around, so there's still something going on. We don't know what yet.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?Wait, no, spoke too soon about the Power Pack. Per The Other Wiki

Another plus of a Power Pack movie would be to have the first pansexual character in the MCU. Granted, Julie Powers is probably going to be 10 in the film, so she probably won't be aware of her own sexuality yet, but that can be saved for sequels. Hell, her particular brand of super-speed even comes with a rainbow trail. If Marvel plays their cards right (even if they don't, Tumblr would probably do it anyway), they could turn Julie Powers into their LGBTQ+ icon.
I want Blade god damn it, he belongs in netflix.
@Adric: I think Daredevil is also coming later this year.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Blade seems like it would be pretty budget friendly as long as most vampires have basic powers
And making vampires a faceless evil threat is less fucked up than doing the same with Asians
Also you can get some good fantastical allegory with vampires
Forever liveblogging the AvengersWe have demons and aliens and magic dragons with Phoenix down bones but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean vampires exist
Forever liveblogging the AvengersVampires are extremely plausible in the current status of the MCU, particularly after Doctor Strange hurled the idea that magic operates underground in it.
Plus, I'm sure you can derive a meaningful social metaphor from blood-sucking parasites who prey on the poor and the weak.from the shadows.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."

So, with Agents of SHIELD now on hiatus until Summer of 2019, it's only Luke Cage and Cloak and Dagger coming on TV for the rest of the year, right?
