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.

Sounds about right. End result: Marvel won't be producing any further seasons, and they're not about to shell out the money to bring the shows in under Disney's umbrella either. The Netflix shows are going the way of Spectacular Spider-Man.

Well fuck!

As usual, bullshit rights issues ruin everything!

Once again, good shows (and Iron Fist... though it was improving, and I was really looking forward to Season 3) die due to this garbage.

I say, we riot.

Edit: In more positive news, I believe the Captain Marvel trailer is dropping during a football game today right? Just to be clear, what game was it?

Nick Fury then: "surprised Cat! Cutey little cat! Lemme hold it forever!"

Nick Fury now: "The cat is also a suspect. I have eight operatives ready to terminate it from the air if it so much as meows anything that sounds like "Hail Hydra" or "Skrullin'"."

I find it funny that they opened with the Skrull-as-old-lady just to establish since the last trailer "See? That old lady she punched was evil!"

I mean, we all suspected that, but it's funny that they still needed to confirm it.

But yeah, not much to this trailer.

Are you kidding? This trailer was goddamn amazing. Sure, they didn't provide us much more than the last trailer (which I consider a good thing, since they aren't spoiling everything), but what they give us was pretty damn awesome: Captain Marvel's MOHAWK of AWESOMENESS.

C'mon Carol do what Iron Man did for Tony Stark.

As in make me like after all the shit you've been in in the comics.

Okay, this looks like fun! Now that a character arc beyond beat-the-bad-guys has become apparent, I'm interested. Especially when it involves realizing that your side is the bad guys.

Timely.

I'm sure it's full of spoilers, but I really want to hear some of whatever dialogue we're not hearing from Carol's past life. Just a few snippets of whatever she and Maria Rambeau are saying to each other.

Give me more Ronan the Accuser, too. Although I guess this is before he was the Accuser.

It's funny given the recent future nres, given that "raised by megalomaniacal villains and discovers they're really an agent of evil" is the same plot I'd expect from a Shiang Chi movie.

Either way, love it. I think they might be giving a little too much away about how the plot goes, but we need that clip of Carol going DBZ on the Kree armada so I guess it makes sense.

I wonder if the cat is the reason why Nick Fury lost his eye.
