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.

Aaaaand found an Anti-SJW video who is joyfully announcing Captain Marvel is being bashed on Meta Critics, which according to him is the last "reliable" source of opinions.

.... God these people are delusional.

Yeah, the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is low too, but we all know how much BS that is. Let's wait what Cinemascore says - and the box office. Because that is the only measure which counts for the better or the ill.

At least no metacritics reviewer explicitly admit it's completely normal twist review and how all his peers do it, so...

I hope the score gets up rapidly and the movie gets a huge box office so these morons can finally shut up.

Metacritic gave Captain Marvel a 65, that's not a "bashing." For context, Infinity War got a 68. Their scores almost always trend more middle ground than Rotten Tomatoes because of how the scores are actually calculated. This entire thing is silly.

I am sure that Disney was really pleased about the reviews Nutcracker and the Four Realms got….

Not that Disney cared much about Nutcracker anyway…

[up][up][up]Yeah, I don't get it either. Both videos have the guys joyfully stating the movie is being called shit and that we finally see how much of a SJW crap it is... while the screen shows a big "65" with green color on the Metacritic page. Like... what?!

Sure they care. Good reviews means more money.

Some of the negative user reviews are hilarious. This is not tagged for spoilers because well, there aren't any:

Utter nonsense that the couldn't find a wamawn who could actually perform the role. Plot was as exciting as watching a hour glass' time run out. I could write a better script. Someone go tell that rib she should know her place. This is a man's world... like the song.

I wish I had the time and energy to waste my life being this petty. Like, does this make your life any happier or more fulfilling?

Last time I checked, being this angry and petty is bad for your health.

[up][up][up] Yeah but it really seems like they just left that movie to die in a back alley.

Regarding CM, though, so far the general critical consensus seems to be "…Eeh." Calling it a "bashing" is excessive indeed.

[up][up][up][up] like how they referenced song that's about how the world would be nothing without women

[down] You have a point, The song implies this is a mans world

[up]Yeah, well, I think the song has a pretty definitive idea about the role of women in the world the reviewer would agree with.
