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.

Ronins are wandering swordsmen with no alliance or loyalty.
With SHIELD and the Avengers gone, and his family dead, that's pretty much what Hawkeye became.
And we don't know where this version of Clint learned to sword fight. For all we know he is a kenjutsu specialist.

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! It's time to celebrate with the most festive of Marvel films, Iron Man 3! What? It's a Christmas film. It's takes place during Christmas, it's got snow, presents, ornaments, cultural appropriation, plenty Christmas! Plus it was released just in time for the holidays... granted it was Cinco de Mayo, but still.
Actually, I wonder if there are people out there who have Iron Man 3 in their holiday rotation, similar to Die Hard. I can't imagine it's that many, but there have to be a few people.
To get things in the festive spirit, which heroes do you think would lend themselves well to a Christmas movie? I heard one person suggest a Spider-Man film set around the holidays, and I think that's a pretty good idea. Since he's a more grounded hero, he could better explore the festive messages of family and togetherness than many other heroes.
GOTG, Seeing Drax, Groot, and Mantis having a blast dowing food and singing, Rocket sampling the "Holiday spirits" of the liquid kind, and Gamora trying so hard to be serious but just not being able to NOT have fun, would be hilarious.
Also Thor, that would be fun as well. Especially him trying to explain it to Valkyrie and his Sakaar buddies but getting tons of stuff wrong.
X-Men, the Fantastic Four. A season at home with the Defenders or even just Heroes For Hire and the Daughters of the Dragon. Or Star-Lord trying to teach everyone the meaning of Christmas. And then at the end they dress up Rocket as an angel and have him stand on top of the Tannen-Groot.

For Cass, I’m expecting them to do a bad future, good future thing. Like, when Scott first arrives in the post Snap world, everything is shit and to cap it off Cass is a wreck, maybe even a criminal like something out of Red Dead Redemption.
Then they fix everything, and now in the future Cass is the well adjusted, burgeoning superheroine she is meant to be.

As a heads-up, Infinity War is now on Netflix, but I advise against watching it today due to its...clashing nature with the holiday season.
(Thanos effed up so badly, the biggest lump of coal won't be enough to cover it...)
(Grrrr, why can't Endgame show up already? I demand retribution!)
