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.

I am. Still a little worried they're pushing on the destiny button too hard, but we'll see.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.On a different note, I have put together a small essay about the notion that characters have to die to create suspense...not my best work, but it is kind of hard to describe narrative rhythms. Anyway, if anyone is interested, it's here:

Caution, Infinity War Spoilers ahead.
Promo of the Avengers 4 team
◊. Spoilers for IW, obviously, but nothing too surprising given the way that movie ended.
I think it would be a good place to take the character
Oh no!

Forever liveblogging the AvengersInteresting to see Hulk in a full uniform. Steve got a shave, though not his old shield (yet). War Machine looks a lot bulkier, is it a different design than the one in Infinity War? Because Iron Man looks the same. I like Captain Marvel's costume. Hawkeye looks neat, digging the outfit and the beard. I also like Natasha with her new hair. Curious to see what Nebula and Rocket's contributions are.
Not happy about the lack of Okoye and Wasp in the line-up, hopefully that doesn't mean they don't have roles in the film.

Another one with Thanos.
◊ Again, Infinity War spoilers.
Is he missing an Infinity Stone? I can't tell.

This song needs more love.The image is really blurry, so it's hard to tell. We can clearly see Mind, Power, and Space, and I think I can kind of see Time and Reality. Doesn't even look like there's a slot for Soul, though that slot is at an angle on the gauntlet, and there's a single line of pixels that kind of looks like it might be Soul.
That aside, I love his new armor and sword.
Looks like a new glove all together. It's got less ribbing than the original.
In fact, it looks like a year time skip is likely given all the changes in character designs. We might get a full season of Agenst of Shield dealing with half the world population being absent.
Concerning the line up; Okeyo, M'Baku, Shuri, Valkeryee and Wasp missing is bull crap.
Edit: other observations. Nebula has a new hand, lol, it doesn't even match her other one. War machine is so beefed up; this should be a great showing for him as, fighting aliens, he'll be able to use that lethal force. Nat's got new sticks.gosh people love their sticks. And yeah that Hulk? That's got to be Banner's personality controlling him Rocket hasn't got a gun! Are they gonna inject him with rabies and just sick him on Thanos?
This roster is eleven people. That's a crap number. Twelve is like, the third best number ever. You could have added anyone of Valkeryee, Okeyo or Wasp and this roster would be so much better.

...was...was that ever in doubt?
Did you think him not wanting to fight was actually supposed to be the conclusion of his arc?
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.No, I guess I'm just still mad that the reason for his choosing not to fight and potentially putting millions of lives at stake was because he was having a pout. I liked it better when the prevailing theory was that he was scared, because that's relatable and something that can be heroically overcome.
My various fanfics.I remember reading an interview with either one of the Russos or one of the writers who said that The Hulk wasn't scared, just that he was fed up of only getting called out to save Banner or to fight after two years of living on Sakaar and being able to live and be his own person. So, in essence, The Incredible Hulk was having an incredible tantrum.
My various fanfics.Bruce is the worst at self awareness
See how he acts like Hulk shoved him in a trunk when really he crawled in there himself to have a good cry about his relationship woes and was basically hiding from feelings behind the hedonism Hulk got up to
... If you subscribe to my headcanon anyway

So...who else is kind of excited for Cloak and Dagger? Early reviews are very positive and the trailer look good.
