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.

  • Evil Queen: All I want is to be the fairest in the land.
  • Thanos: How many people are fairer than you?
  • Evil Queen: Just one.
  • Thanos: Well, I might have good news. Maybe. 50/50.

With Maleficent, who knows. She's old school Fair Folk. Unless it amuses her or you didn't invite her to the party, she don't give a shit.

Now imagining of the Masters of Evil, but with Disney villains.

Limiting to the Disney animated Canon? Wreck it Ralph fills the Hulk role. Meradeth is hawkeye (fuck you Robin Hood). Pinocchio is Vision. Herculeas as Captain America.

T'challa is just, hmm.

Mulan can be Captain America, and Baymax is obviously Iron Man.

Aurora would be Captain America imo. Elsa is Scarlet Witch.

Captain America - Mulan. Both became soldiers and war heroes despite their societies holding them back. Mulan is about the only Disney princess with military experience.

Iron Man - Belle. The brains and Belle could imagined as an inventor like her dad.

Thor - Hercules. Kind of goes without saying.

Scarlet Witch - Elsa. Have powers they initially had trouble controlling.

Namor - Ariel and Kida could both fill this role being princesses of underwater kingdoms.

Antman - Aladdin. Thieves with hearts of gold who become heroes.

Peter Parker - Jim Hawkins. Young geniuses with dead parents.

Of course herculeas should be Thor, duh, I'm an idiot.

Okay, Simba as Black Panther?

The Princess from Atlantis for Namor?

Can Mickey be the Dr Strange analogue? He was The Sorceror's Apprentice once.

Princess Anna is definitely Pepper Potts.

Wreck-It-Ralph is totally the Incredible Hulk.

Nick and Judy would be either Nick Fury and Maria Hill or Ant-Man and Wasp. I prefer the latter.

Hmm..is Maleficent as Hela too easy?

Ego would definatly be Stinky Pete from Toy Story 2.

Cinderella for Pepper Potts. She does all the work in the background while everyone else gets the credit. Still waiting on that glass slipper Rescue suit.

To make my personal list:

Steve: Mulan, obviously. After all she is a soldier and she has the same tactical mind he has.

Tony, Rhodey and Vision: Hero and his team pretty much cover the flying machinery and sentient robot section.

Thor: Hercules, again, obviously. And Megara is Loki.

The Hulk: Wreck it Ralph.

Hawkeye: Robin Hood since Brave is technically a Pixar movie (even if she is part of Princess line-up) and I think we should stick to animated studio movies. Plus, his character is actually closer to Clints.

Black Widow: Judy Hopps, because she has the interrogation skills, spy abilities and can actually do hand to hand combat.

Wanda: Elsa, I guess. Even if Anna would make a p... poor quicksilver….

Doctor Strange: Genie

Black Panther: No idea...I guess Simba?

Nick Fury: Calhoun. And Fix it Felix is Maria Hill.

Ant-man and the Wasp….mmmm…..drawing a blank there….Maybe the Rescuers?

Spiderman: Rapunzel

[up][up][up]You have this old-bearded (maybe fat) man who reveals the main characters origins and tells him that he can live forever (some form). He seems really nice at first, but in the third act it appears he is not nice and is only banking on the main character's specialty for his own needs. He even disregards the main character's friends.

I'm sure this has been done before, but Latso would be perfect as Thanos.

And who are Nick and Judy?

The main characters from Zootopia.

No, Yen Sid would be the Ancient One. I liked the previous suggestion of Mickey as Dr. Strange.
