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.

There’s also the part where the main cast has publicly stated their disagreement with Disney firing Gunn, and at least one has threatened to break contract if Gunn’s script isn’t used.
PSN ID: FateSeraph | Switch friendcode: SW-0145-8835-0610 Congratulations! She/TheyYes, But it seems risky to draw attention to it, because what if whatever director they get end up making loads of changes? Film making is a collaborative process, so this is true of any script, but I was anticipating them waiting until they had a director and and then saying "so and so is adapting James Gunn's script"
Eh, maybe I'm paying too much attention to semantics.
Either that or... *Set spoilers for Avengers 4* it's the much-speculated Avengers 1 Cap.
This song needs more love.On a different note, I really like what this video says about not being too pretentious when judging Superhero movies:
Unlike the creator I am not worried about the future of the MCU, though. Yes, Infinity War and Avengers 4 will be the peak for now, but, well, when Avengers was released a lot of people thought that this was the peak, too. There will be another high down the line. And the common audience, well, they are already on board for Black Panther, Ant-man, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man and hopefully Camptain Marvel. (There really need to be more females in the next bunch of franchises the MCU seeds).
If the hints in the Captain Marvel trailer and production are anything to go by, Phase 4 might involve the Secret Invasion with the Skrull. That's a pretty large arc in the comics to be resolved within a single movie (not that they didn't take a nice stab at that kind of consolidation with Captain America: Civil War).

Well, is kinda pointless to care about what tony said to steve or what the accords means when have of the population of the entire damn universe just die.
is kinda the same problem we have in Ao U-CW, they put this team and....we never seen them before they fight each other.
It depend of the how, most often that not it feel....lesser, after fighting the being who snap half of the population it feels....hollow.

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"By the same token, continually escalating the stakes of each conflict risks fatiguing the audience.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
I haven't seen it yet. It's on my short list, along with Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Makes sense. You need a script before you get a director, unless said the director is pulling double duty and writing the movie themselves.
And since they already had one, why not use it?
