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.

Wait, how far in advance did we get the Infinity War title? Surely it was more than 6 months in advance.

That wasn't a spoiler, and people had guessed it pretty much the second Thanos showed up.

It's supposedly spoilerly in regards to Infinity War, so they want some time to have elapsed, it seems.

I'm sure we get it soon...Marvel has gotten into the habit of spreading out announcement. This way they get more attention than they would if they dropped all of it at comic con. The will most likely let us digest the news we got for a while (you know, second season of Cloak and Dagger, some Ao S announcements, and whatever the other studios dropped) and then drop the title in a lull.

We got the title of Infinity War back in 2014 before Age of Ultron.

It is, but they wanted to move away from the blatant Movie Multipack feel

Just be glad they didn't for The Hobbit styled film

Avengers part 1,Thanos appears in the distance off screen

Avengers part 2: Thanos moves slightly to the left

Avengers part 3:Thanos dies

Avengers part 4 four: Avengers fight Thanos's army

That'd be funny if it was like book Hobbit and a character barely introduced ends up killing Thanos.

Like, I'd say Hawkeye because of arrows but he's been vaguely important in other movies so thats not unimportant enough.

So instead they introduce moon knight and one of his moonerangs ends up in Thanos forehead and he dies and the rest of the movie is squabbling over who gets the Infinity Gems with the heroes being pricks about it.

Nobody is untouchable friend.

Especially not someone named Pushover.

You won't even know what hit you.

And now, for something completely different.

...So how many people do you think will punch Tony in the face when he gets back?

I'm only a pushover in terms of being easily impressed by movies and tv shows. If we're talking Real Life, well... this is the internet. I'm literally untouchable.

Not sure why Tony needs a punch in the face this time.

[up]

He's Tony Stark, that's why.tongue

For the things he's done, the things people think he's done, and things he would never do but he gets blamed for anyway, and even because he's there, Tony will always need a punch in the face.

I'm mostly joking here.
