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.

Yeah, this would really be great...if they move it under the Disney Umbrella and then go crazy with Danny on a higher budget, but borrow him out to Netflix once in a while so that he can help out Luke Cage or team up with the Defenders - I would be SOOOOOO for it.

Question...does it look like we will finally learn what the title for Avengers 4 is? Because frankly, at this point I no longer care about the title itself, I just want the speculations to stop.

Okay, how is it possible that I missed this so far:

I mean I really, really don't like season 2 of JJ but this is hilarious.

What are the chances this will free Colleen up for a Daughters of the Dragon spinoff?

[up][up] I'm still so amused they actually made a full version of that. It's so terrible, I love it.

[up][up] Me too. But then I tend to like all original songs in the MCU.

I really, really want to make them a Musical at one point. Maybe they can do it with Dazzler.

Though you know what would be even cooler? A Dazzler movie which is built like a music documentary.

I know the MCU Film and TV side are at odds at times, but there is no reason why a character shouldn't make a reference to "I Want Your Cray Cray." Just have Tony hum the song or something.

wild mass guessIn the MCU, "I Want Your Cray Cray" has taken on a new life as a source of ironic nostalgia, being regularly edited in memes or remixes where something weird happens every time the word "cray" is said.wild mass guess

Not really Tony's kind of music...but I can see Shuri doing it...

Shuri being an out and out Patsy Walker fanatic would be hilarious.

What kind of Music the Avengers hear? Easy....

Tony like Heavy Metal and especially favours AC/DC Steve has a thing for Jazz. Old time Jazz, naturally. Sam likes Soul. Bruce likes Classic Music. Or at least he listens to it when he needs to calm down. Thor should have a preference for Norse-style hymns.

With the others, we could make an educated guess.

So Avengers 4 is set five years after the last film and Far From Home is set in the present. I smell a Days of Future Past type of reboot.

Natasha prefers music like Mozart or Beethoven. Clint likes pop music. And Vision and Wanda like all different types of music.

If Natasha likes classical music, I am ready to be that she appreciates the Russian musicians over the German ones. They are the true classics anyway when it comes to ballet.

I'd like to think that she does. Sort of a "at least something enjoyable came out of that Hell that they put me through" kind of deal.

I actually had an idea - what if Avengers 4 having a Time Skip is meant to introduce a future setting that will run parallel with a present day setting in future movies (albeit with time being rewritten so that half the universe isn’t dead)?

Oh God! Natural light!

I can see Thor liking showtunes. They're somewhat closer to the bardic tradition of storytelling-in-song that he's likely familiar with.

Thor naturally likes Wardruna. And Wagner.
