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.

Now that Marvel is getting the rights to the X-Men back, they can definitely make a musical and I hope they get the people who did this to do it:

They're making an Eternals movie. Hercules exists in the marvel universe as one if the Eternals who regular humans identified as a demigod in ancient times. They could easily do a Sword and Sandals movie with him

Who would be good for a space pirate movie? I guess the ship has sailed on the guardians so it has to be someone else.

Starjammers?

I think James Gunn wanted to make a Guardians spinoff focusing on the original team - that could easily be a space pirates movie

Oh dang I forgot about the stinger with the original guardians characters.

They'd definitely be space pirates.

Actually, Hercules isn't an Eternal, that's the the Forgotten One, who was regularly mistaken for Hercules throughout the years. Hercules himself is part of the Greek pantheon, which they should totally introduce.

You could do with either Guardians team a nice little treasure hunt.

[up] Young Avengers. Which we're practically guaranteed to get next Phase, hopefully.

Shit if they want to make a Nightcrawler movie just have it be about him & his swashbuckling adventures.

Except they can't use Nightcrawler as a title as another film already uses it,they might even have to slightly alter the name

I want a Western movie.

Marvel has a bunch of old characters from the era they could throw into a gunslinging epic. Have the "Big score" they're trying to steal from a train or something end up being the next Mcguffin after the infinity stones, or maybe just some alien technology.

You are not alone.

They could introduce Two Gun Kid properly….

I also still want a proper horror movie...

[up][up][up] Just call it “The pirate adventures of that blue elf guy from X-Men.”

Wait a minute, wait a minute..... everyone’s always going on & on about Kate Bishop, Kate Bishop this, Kate Bishop that as well as Ms. America.

What about my boys Billy Kaplan (Wiccan) & Theodore “Teddy” Altman (Hulkling)? Those are some 2 cool hombres & they can actually maintain a relatively healthy relationship.

What relationship has Kate been in that lasted longer than a single arc & ended well eh? tongue

Don’t get me wrong, Billy and Teddy absolutely deserve to come in. With Billy played by a Jewish actor.

They can leave out Noh-Varr and his mind-scarring cockroach horrors.

I'd have liked a supernatural Western about Phantom Rider, the O.G Ghost Rider.

They have the Skrulls and (technically) Mar-Vell now for Teddy.

Regarding Hulkling...he is kind of a shapeshifting Hulk, right…

So, are we sure that Hulk didn't have an affair with a Skrull while he was on Sakar?

Hulkling is the bastard son of Mar-Vell and a Skrull princess. He only looks like Hulk due to his Skrull ancestry.

Skrulls being skrulls, even he might not know if he did or not.

Shame Carrera never got in.

Huh considering what side of the war she was on, Mar-Vell having a half-Skrull son would make sense. Especially having said child raised by his Skrull family because the Kree obviously wouldn't take kindly to Kree-Skrull hybrids which is why she never mentions him.

If Teddy was Mar-Vell's natural child he would have to have been born in 1989 or before, which would make him at least 30 by the time Young Avengers comes out, unless it's set in the past. Otherwise, the circumstances would be rather fitting.

Huh okay that's tricky.

I guess if they wanna keep Teddy young & still related to Mar-Vell then they could make him a grandson.

I definitely want Wiccan and Hulkling but they may be a little difficult to set up. Hulkling might work but literally being Mar-Vell's son would require some timeline fudging. As for Wiccan, I really don't know; Wanda's too young, and I guess the actual magic and reincarnation babies are out. I guess either 1. Wiccan and Speed are just Wanda's normal biological children but some form of time skip or travel will be needed or 2. they just cut the link between Wiccan and SW, and he's a proper magic user (Speed could still be his twin if they're cool with unrelated people with similar powers). I guess they could do both but it muddies things

They could possibly mix the volume 1 and 2 teams. Cassie's already established to some extent, Iron Lad is a mess of setup, America's seems to be more popular than Eli. Young Loki is a fairly solid maybe - recasting Loki may diminish his appeal but it is a way of using him some more without another fake death.
