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.

@Known Unknown- Adding to that, if the rumors are true of some actress being cast as a Femme Fatale (I'd think Black Cat but Jessica Drew is also a possibility), I could see a plotline where Peter has to clear his name and ends up allying with a Classy Cat-Burglar actual criminal.

Also, more spitballing here, but assuming Chameleon is in the film, I wonder the chances of them using Nick Spencer's Superior Foes characterization as a (needless to say) brutal Russian gangster. It's certainly unusual, although I liked how in Spectacular both Mysterio and Chameleon were comparably nice guys.

I'm late to this, but from what I have been told and read about Git S it's a pretty mediocre and tepid film with some highly insensitive storytelling decisions. The only worthwhile thing about it are its aesthestics.

In all honesty, this result was utterlt predictable. The director only had a mediocre fantasy film to his name and the scriptwriters didn't inspire confidence either. It was always doomed to mediocrity, johansson's casting just made it especially offensive.

[up]If I were Gunn I would just say "Hey, first look at the film version of Nameless on Friday" ASAP because if he tries to make it a surprise, and people are going in expecting him to announce a Berserk film only to give them Nameless, he's gonna be booed out of the building.

[up][up][up][up] Interesting... if it's Jessica Drew, they could also introduce her here for possible future use with Captain Marvel as well. Julia Carpenter would be neat as well.

Unfortunately, Black Cat seems a bit unlikely due to Sony trying to have their cake and eat it with a Black Cat movie of their own - same with Silver Sable.

Isn't there a version of Chameleon who's gay for Peter?

I know that before Chameleon's death he told Peter he loved him. And then Peter laughed in his face so Chameleon jumped off a bridge.

Not entirely sure what that was about.

Speaking of Chameleon, they need to adapt the bit where he tries to step to Aunt May and poisons the hell out of him instead.note

I know it will never happen but...well...since I saw the Deadpool parody I really really want Disney making a whole movie featuring Marvel heroes doing dance numbers to their songs. Just for fun, you know.
