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.

I'm guessing at least Hank.

My gut tells me Hope as well but I so want my gut to shut up.

Hope was confirmed for Avengers 4 I think, as was Cassie.

I'm hoping Scott gets dusted.

Give Hope some pain for Avengers 4 especially if Hank gets dusted too. evil grin

One of the few things we know about Avengers 4 is that he's going to be in it so no.

Ah.

Hopefully it's just him coming back in the end or flashback appearances then.

No he's been spotted filming with Cap and he's with the Avengers on the promo art. It's pretty assuredly a sizable part.

I wonder why Fury didn't call Carol in for Loki, Ultron, or you know, anything.

Maybe because he didn't want her getting killed during an alien invasion or attacked by Ultron's robots?

It's noteworthy that Fury only decides to call Carol after Hill tells him that the alien warcrafts spotted over Wakanda are ten times more numerous than the ones in New York.

I didn't even know who Carol was until I remembered she's Ms. Marvel,thought you were talking about someone from the Antman films

[up][up]Which amuses me because it implies were it not for the size, his response to another alien invasion would've just been "Eh, the Avengers can handle it."

I'm expecting Cassie's step dad to be dusted.

Only if we get Scott consoling a grieving Cassie while trying his damndest not to smile.

I doubt that Scott would be happy about Cassie grieving.

I don't think he would happy about Paxton getting dusted either.

They actually seem to respect each other which I appreciate as mostly unheard of in stories about a divorced guy and a wife who is seeing other people

When was it confirmed that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will take place before Avengers: Infinity War?

If Guadians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is going to take place before Avengers: Infinity War, does that mean Gamora's death is permanent?
