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.

Naw, naw that's a sign of acknowledgment, plus I heard Machineman is a pretty dope guy.

Ulysses deserves only death & being forgotten. He shall receive no dignity & killing him shall be treated as a true act of heroism & righteousness.

Yeah. How dare he exist and be used as an excuse for heroes to start beating each other up.

How dare he he not actually do anything wrong. He should die for that.

... no. No Sarcasm Mode pothole. Y’all can figure out if I am serious yourselves.

Well he did look like a hipster for one.

Had flowing brown hair & the scraggly beard.

They are.

Hipsters by their very existance are cancerous parasites.

A good hipster is a hipster that never existed.

The same people that hate hipsters like to complain about millennials I've found

Apparently if I had been born a couple months later, I would qualify as a millennial.

[up][up] Impossible! I love mainstream stuff.

Really? Because if you grew up around the turn of the millennium, you're a millennial. I'm 33 years old and I'm a millennial, apparently.

Weird I'm 21 & I was once told I am the one before that.

I think its a technicality or something.

According to Pew Research, millennials are anyone born from 1981-1996.

What's the name for the people born post-1996? I want to know what label I'm supposed to be using.

Yeah, I can't think of any parasites known to cause cancer, and comparing hipsters to parasites is mean and unfair to the parasites anyway.

Huh I was born in 1997 so I guess I am a millennial.

My criteria is much easier than all of these "when were you born" stuff: I say, if you remember The Adventures of Pete & Pete and All That, you're a Millennial, the end.

[up][up]No, you’re not. The cutoff is 1996.

[up] I was born in 1990, and I have no idea what that is.

No, you’re not. The cutoff is 1996.
Wikipedia says the cutoff is "mid-90s to early 2000s." Again: there are disagreements about when the cutoff is.

Also, for shame! The Adventures of Pete & Pete and All That are awesome! Did you not have Nickelodeon in your house?

Generation Z (I guess?) until further notice, Millennial (if you prefer) since you're right on the borderline. Millennials didn't have a name until like ten years ago, when the oldest ones were turning thirty, so it'll probably be a few more years before there's a name for the next cohort.

[up][up][up][up]Pew Research is a well respected institution whose entire purpose is data analysis. For purposes of such data analysis, the cutoff is 1996.

No. My family didn’t have cable.
