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 honestly had no idea they were making a Black Cat Movie,surprised she's never popped up in a spiderman film yet (though her non superhero self did turn up in one of the reboots)

I'm honestly wondering how far Sony is going to take this "Spider-Man without Spider-Man" stuff. Like if they make it past Morbius I'll be impressed.

They should try doing a Peter Parker movie and see if anyone would watch it

Sony should focus on the different Spider-Men, like Noir, 2099 and wherever Peni Parker was spawned from.

That way they could fill out quite a few movies without stepping on the toes of the MCU, and vice-versa.

Also animated.

Animated movies in Noir & Cyberpunk styles would be a real hoot.

They have the technology.

Like a Spider-Gwen movie would be fun to watch if they wholly implement her comics iconic art-style.

Shit Spider-Man on his own really is a one man brand.

We have an initial running time for Endgame at 3hr 2 min.. This would make it as long as the Extended cut of Batman v Superman. Unless there is an intermission, make sure you do your business before the showing.

There better be a damn intermission, and they better use every minute of screen time perfectly. Infinity War dragged on forever and yet didn’t have any satisfying character work.

I did.

Don't think I needed to go...either that or I never grabbed a drink....or I was just cautious with how much I drank...or I can hold it really well.

I do know this much. I'm gonna make sure I go before, and be very cautious with my drink for Endgame.

Well you can still feel the urge to pee even if you don't drink anything.

Better make sure not to run so my mouth doesn't feel dry.

I will. My problem is knowing when to eat and drink. A lot easier for me to eat after opening credits but because the MCU doesn't do that anymore, it's gotten hard. I forgot to eat my food when I watched Ant-Man and the Wasp.

I really do hope there is an intermission. Though I've generally managed to be okay sitting through Bollywood movies without needing to go to the bathroom.

Of course, we could always use catheters. tongue

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Okay, that's consent enough.

I. Fucking. Hate. People who make MCU Steve gay in their headcanons, or their fanfiction, or whatever.

Steve Rogers is a bisexual man, you cowards.

Peggy Carter was not just Steve's friend, he was not "pretending", and he wasn't hiding in the closet. We see multiple times in First Avenger that he finds women attractive and his love for Peggy was deep, and real, and true, and the fact that she moved on and had a life and that it wasn't a life with him broke him.

If you want to say Steve loves Bucky, great! Go ahead, go for it! I get it! Hell, I ship it! Steve Rogers would go to hell and back for Bucky Barnes, he would and HAS literally risked his life for him. I get it! And it's easy for people who want Steve to be straight because they feel like there's a lack of deep male friendships that don't have homoerotic subtext in media to just see them as friends, just like how it's easy for people who want him to love Bucky romantically.

And people who want Stony want it because Chris Evans and RDJ just have great fuck-chemistry. I totally get it.

But, as a bisexual man, just pigeonholing Steve as gay is something I find deeply offensive and untrue both to me, and to the character as presented to us. Sorry. It was just a long day and sometimes stuff sticks in your craw all day

As a bi woman I completely understand your frustration and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

... also I ship Bucky/Steve/Peggy and imagining the MCU Fox News anchors finding out Cap wasn’t just a chronically ill FDR supporting artist but also a bisexual man in a polyamorous relationship fills me with glee.
