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.

From long distances guns are more consistent, don’t have to worry as much about gravity and wind, can repeatedly hit a single target quicker, need less strength, and eventually became faster to reload.

Oh my god.

It just hit me that in the shot of Rocket with War Machine, Rocket has an outfit that looks near identical to his pre-MCU comic costume.

Just saw the new trailer. Sorry, but Hawkeye's new hair just looks terrible on him.

That stunt he pulled in Civil War is certainly grounds for divorce.

I'm sure it will be another in a large list of things people use to emphasize how much Clint sucks, which they'll never get tired of doing.

As if he doesn't take enough shit from people.

Archery also has an advantage in that it doesn't make a deafening bang with every round.

And it just plain looks and feels cool. And historically is just, like, part of humanity, regardless of culture; we didn't become the apex predator with gun powder and metal balls, after all.

Well, there are silencers.

But gun powder allowed us to stay the apex predators.

Silencers just make guns go from "deafening thunderstorm" to "dropping a large book in a empty library with echo".

It also only works for subsonic bullets, for reasons that should be self-evident.

It all ends next month, 11 years in the making.

........ Mother of God it’s been 11 years since Iron Man came out.

Fucking Hell I’m 21 now so I was 10 at the time. Good lord how the time flies.

I was 10 when the first Iron Man hit the scene and now I'll be watching Endgame at 21. Time flies, eh.
