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.

I’ve heard Into the Spider-Verse got good reviews, but that’s impressive it got a nomination too.

Rumors, shmumors.

But why would they be so cagey about the title?

At this point, the whole thing has become a little bit ridiculous.

At this point, the title damn well better be something ACTUALLY unexpected. If it's just a spoiler for Infinity War, there's no reason to keep it secret for this long, the Snap is common knowledge by this point.

Well, while we wait for that Avengers 4 trailer, we may as well amuse ourselves with this.

> But why would they be so cagey about the title?

So can they hype film further,fans speculation means the they're hyping for what the title could be which keeps them interested so when the film rolls around you have people clamouring for the film when the title is revealed

its the perfect bait,mystery is intriguing and people love a good mystery

Speaking of not having obvious things happen for the sake of squeezing hype, I really hope someone finally says “Avengers Assemble” this time.

The title is actually . . . "Untitled Avengers Project".

The title still isn't revealed at the premiere. Everyone who goes to see the film refuses to discuss the actual title of the film. You end up going to see it midnight on opening day. There are no opening credits, so you have to wait until the end of the film to see the title. It's an amazing film, full of action and humor and twists. Finally, the end arrives and the credits roll, but there still isn't any title. The credits end and then there's the post-credits scene. It's Howard the Duck, who has just told the story of the movie to a movie producer. The producer goes, "That's a hell of a film. What do you call it?" And Howard goes, "The Aristocrats!"

They haven't come up with a title.

Ever since they decided that it was not going to be called Avengers: Infinity War: Part 2, on every day that has passed since they've put off coming up with a new title until tomorrow. While on an academic level they are aware that they probably should of come up with a title by now, other things just sort of keep getting in the way.

This will continue through the release of the film, which on paper will officially be released as:

Avengers:<Insert Subtitle Here>

Except for the small detail of Thanos being a fictional character.

Maybe they will drop the Avengers in the title and simply call it Thanos.

So the Fox merger is the reason for the New Warriors delay[1]

alliterator Since: Jan, 2001
#91848: Dec 6th 2018 at 9:45:33 PM

Wait, what? Really? I wonder why the merger made things difficult for New Warriors — even the characters that are mutants (like Mister Immortal) aren't associated with the X-Men, but rather the Great Lakes Avengers.

But...maybe they decided to hold off on things so that they wouldn't need to change the explanation? Maybe they are going to keep Mister Immortal as a mutant. Which would be hilarious, since in the comics, Squirrel Girl used to be a mutant and then was changed so that she was "medically and legally distinct from a mutant."

...Oh, wait, perhaps they want to air the show on Fox, but can't until the deal is done.

The severe backlash against MVC Infinite conspicuously ditching the X-Men to be more like the MCU may have had something to do with it.
