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.

If they don't bring back some variation of this song for the end credits of the FINAL AVENGERS MOVIE, I'm going to be very disappointed.

I'd love to see Blow Up the Outside World or Porch used in Captain Marvel.

Not quite the trailer I expected but I CANT WAIT!!!!

And now I get why they initially hid the title, but not quite why they didn't reveal it earlier. It is not that spoilery.

I find it hilarious how we’d think that it would take longer for Scott to get out of the Quantum Realm, yet there he is just fine. Also, Endgame was practically given to us by Strange at the end of the movie. It feels like an afterthought like “Oh, we totally meant to slide it in there and nobody knew.”

I never said it anywhere, so I can't prove it, but I totally suspected the title.

This place is careless.

It's a good title, though. It's like titling it "infinity war 2" without actually titling it this way. And I guess it WOULD have been a spoiler if it had been known last year.

I wonder how Scott made it out....

Next time Thanos needs to hire an ant eater or really big boot

[up] My guess is hiding another dimension means technically he was in another universe so the when the snap happened it only effected their universe,not his if I'm reading correctly

I like the Scarethanos. He did kind of send everyone to the cornfield.

And hey, Ronin. And Scott! Hi Scott. Same old Scott.

Endgame feels a bit like there was some discussion over whether or not they wanted to tip their hand a little more, but finally decided against it.

@Ultimatum: Considering that Scott was inside the Quantum Realm when the great Decimation happened, yeah. Though not sure as to how he got out...

Okay, now I'm shaking. The trailer didn't show as much as I thought it would but I'm definitely interested. And hey, guess Natasha kept her blonde hair after all.

I was wondering how he got out, not how he survived. He had a 50/50 chance anyway.

I think that Natasha has more important matters to take care of than changing her hair colour.

Oh yeah, the Benetar survived Thanos throwing a moon down onto Titan I guess. Lucky break.

[up][up]Well, no, clearly she's still making the time to get it re-dyed. But ash blonde is a good colour when you're mourning the death of half the universe's population.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait. I just now noticed that was Shuri's mugshot along with Peter Parker's and Scott's. I'm praying to god that doesn't mean what I think it means.

Incredibly hyped even though we weren't shown much. Nice reference to the actual Inifinity War comic at the beginning, btw.

Hawkeye turning into Ronin was awesome and (kinda) unexpected - I mean, what he became is less surprising than when. It's not like he's being chased by the authorities, right? ... Right?

And, judging by the dialogue, it seems like Scott is pulling some timeline fakkery to get out of the Quantum Realm. or has done it already. Or will have done it, idk.

... And that's called jazz!
