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.

A4 theory: All of the characters come back... except one or more of them come back in their true form: A Skrull.

All of the characters come back, but somebody mixed up their ash piles into one big lump so they become a horrible abomination of twisted flesh and agony with no desire but to die again.

Everybody comes back to life, but the ashes get mixed up and it turns out everyone's native languages are switched.

I was tempted to make that reference instead, but I decided to go with the Body Horror option instead because it amuses me.

There never was any avengers.
"There were never any Avengers." That's what the nice man in the suit told him. He had made them all up with his imagination. He was good at doing that. First it was the hospital, with all those doctors and patients. He liked looking into his snow globe and thinking about them. And then it was those superheroes, the Avengers. He liked thinking about their fights and battles and how the danger would just keep increasing and increasing until they couldn't stop it. But sometimes he got too into it and shouted about how they had to stop Thanos before he snapped his fingers or else they would all turn to dust. "Come now, Tommy," the man in the suit said. "There were never any Avengers."

They all come back, but are portrayed by different actors.

Considering that her original contract with Marvel was supposedly not particularly favourable towards her: Good for her.

Everyone is resurrected as zombies. Actually maybe not all that far-fetched for Gamora since her body's been lying there for a while, frozen over.

The Avengers defeat Thanos and bring everyone back in the first half. Everyone comes back as zombies and the second half is just a rough adaptation of Marvel Zombies.

Spidey's Far From Home suit. Actual spoilers.

People warmed up to the PS 4 look after a while.’ Apparently it has a better color balance.

Huh sad.

Guess we’ll never get an adaptation of The Immortal Iron-Fist series by Ed Brubaker & Matt Fraction featuring that epic tournament.
