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.

All this talk about Gamora's death, and all I can think of is the Special Effect Failure of her plummeting to her doom.

Like creepy stories? Check out my book!I disagree tusker, a point is not to prove the other one is wrong but to deflate the sense ofimportance over it, trying to probe the alt is wrong is not the issue but deflate their pretensiousness and revealing they as cringy or even more than their "enemies".
About thannos....yeah My problem is twofold: is reason is particulary stupid "I need to kill half of the universe for resources!", like if he try to impress death it would be better for me, specially because we dont see any of is backstory.
Now I do agree audience expectation are intersting: Like nothing said Thanos is simpathic, no is invasion of New york, not giving Loki is the scepter, no the theory of using the mind stone to influence Ultron, is treatment of gamorra and Nebula, Killing the dwarfs, killing the asgardian, Choking Lokin to death, invading Earth AGAIN.
And yet he dosent rant like a maniac and because of that he deserve simpathy?.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"So I'm not the only one that feels discussing Thanos tends to turn this whole thread into a spirographnote , right?
Try meditating.
No, really, did wonders for my anxiety.

I just... can't stand them... not on Mr. T, not on Storm, and not on Carol Danvers. I'm not into the punk rock look - piercings, mohawks, heavy tattoos are just fashion no-no's for me.
She does looks ready to whoop all sorts of ass, so I suppose it does it's job.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!What is noticeable is that Marvel is really cagey regarding Captain Marvel. Not quite as much as they are regarding Endgame, but I wonder if this is part of a new marketing strategy (in: We stop revealing everything in the trailers because the audience keeps complaining about it), or if there is a big twist they want to hide.
Guardians 2 is still on that list of movies I should watch but won't because I'm stubborn and I feel like I got most of what I need to know about its cast out of Infinity War.
That said, I googled a picture of Yondu
. He looks like the love child between Frieza and a Smurf.
Here's hoping because Suicide Squad, Terminator Genisys, and Batman v Superman have poisoned me. I was pleasantly surprised when the Endgame trailer told us jack. I'm worried that it was all a trick and Marvel's going to push out 4 more trailers just to compensate.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!I like a good mohawk. I think it'd be better if it were even bigger, though. Go all the way Super Saiyan with it.
Pretty sure Peter called him Papa Smurf at one point. Not sure if it happened in the movies, in the Telltale game, or if I'm just imagining it, but it sounds like something Quill would say.

Also, this
◊ is generally what Carol's mohawk looks like, so I thought they did a good job.

But he lacks the rage.
And the fact Gamora & Quill immediately pointed out afterwards how stupid & ineffective the idea was makes him look like hot-headed dumbass than a Destroyer.
A far cry from the character who once made a generator that knocked out all the people on a space-station without anyone knowing to find some Skrulls.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Exactly.
