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 know the new suit is beefier than its ever been, but that's a bit much. I don't think it's quite Hulkbuster size. Unless that's actually a spoiler for an entirely separate suit than the one we've seen in promotional material.

The Hulk Buster doesn't have alliteration.

War Machine is a walking armory. He needs to be bulky.

In one comic the armor can turn into a sports car.

I believe the car armor was from Ultimate War Machine, who once threatened to blow-up a school just to capture his target.

So Brie Larson has said that she wants Kamala Khan in a possible Captain Marvel sequel, but honestly, I rather see Spider-Woman(Jessica Drew) instead although it probably not likely due rights issues or something.

Especially when the first movie seems to be setting up Spectrum to appear in the sequel anyway.

I think Kamala Khan deserves her own movie but that might be a bit difficult in the current political climate

By the time Kamala even gets the chance to have her own movie, the political climate will have shifted. Also, Kamala Khan is kind of the single most perfect character to educate the masses in the current political climate.

Yeah no, to hell with that “a more convenient time” bullshit. We’re finally getting Women and Po C led superhero movies, and good, gloriously successful ones at that. Now is not the time to slow down the train.

Choo choo motherfuckers.
