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.

Thinking overall, the best superhero analogue I can think of for Mickey is someone like The Question, or maybe Constantine if we add magic to it. Or if there's like a superhero Indiana Jones out there somewhere, that kind of thing.

Of course, Donald already has his superhero identity down pat.

[up]Nah, Donald and Goofy are traitors who would go to bat for DC instead of Marvel.

Sorry to keep asking questions but how is Megara like Loki? Shouldn't she be Jane while Hades is Loki?

[up] Loki actually cares for Thor. And Megara is a trickster in the first half of the movie.

[up] Eh, put this under spoiler tags, please. This information just allows me to make conclusions about the movie I didn't want to make.

An actor saying they'd like to come back for future movies isn't a spoiler.

If they are the villain then it implies that they survive said movie.

Which is a spoiler.

Michael B. Jordan also said he'd like to come back for another movie. That doesn't really mean anything.

A lot of MCU villain actors have said similar things, come to think of it.

Did Lee Pace specifically ask to come back? 'Cause he's like the only killed-off villain who is, not counting the recast Red Skull.

I remember him in an interview for an unrelated project saying he had a lot of fun making the movie and would love to come back for a sequel if they could find a way to bring him back.

Mickey can’t be Strange, for the simple fact that he’s already too perfect as Yoda for me to see him as anything else.

So I guess Ghost survived the events of Ant-Man and the Wasp then.

Kind of ironic, what with the name.
