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.

Spider-Man is getting a new costume in his upcoming sequel
.
New costume? Fingers crossed for the Amazing Bag-Man
!
I'd love a scene where Fake Spider-Man Mysterio and the Amazing Bag-Man duke it out.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Nothing's set in stone but Cate Shortland is at the top of the list for the Black Widow movie
. I think Amma Asante has a more interesting filmography, but we'll see where this goes.
I really want to hear more about what kind of movie this is going to be. Bond-esque? Bourne-esque? A spies vs way-out mad science story? A more grounded spy-vs-political-conspiracy story?
I still think that, if this is a prequel, this movie could rescue Strucker (if Strucker is hiding his HYDRA connections, that is) from the absolute waste he was in Ultron. Ever since Earths Mightiest Heroes, I've wanted to see a spies vs Strucker movie.
MCU Strucker is so far removed from his comic self that if you want to use a worthwhile Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker you'd basically have to create a whole different character.
If you want a Gambit Roulette spy film using Baron Strucker's master of spies and ruthless player characterization he has in his best appearances (namely Secret Warriors) I'd make him father or grandfather of the Strucker we saw in Age of Ultron. Make him a WWII Wehrmacht veteran like his comics self, probably kept alive by artificial means. You could use this as a opportunity to explore his relationship with his son or grandson that we meet in Age of Ultron.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I don't thiiiiiiiink that was intentional symbolism. Because what would the symbolism be?
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThe symbolism would be that Stark is Judas, who appears in The Last Supper before selling Jesus out to the Roman Empire for thirty pieces of silver.
Just in case it wasn't already clear that despite the film's pretenses of "Whose side are you on?", Stark is pretty much intended to be the unambiguous Bad Guy.
