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.

Be nice to the theater workers and throw out your trash at the trashcans yourself. As the movie is so long, the reduced screenings per day means they’re going to have to work twice as fast to clean up the room for the next showing.

If I could watch Inland Empire (which is exactly three hours) in one sitting (though on DVD, I would have been too young for when it was in theaters), I can withstand a three hour long Avengers movie.

[up] Gah, the ones who are alive are in color and the ones who got Thanos'd are in black and white as a mourning thing.

I hate how effective that is...

C'mon Marvel, why you gotta make us so anxious for Endgame?

Wait, Valkyrie has a role big enough that she warrants a poster?

[up] And Wong apparently too….

Wong’s basically the only wizard they’ve got now, so it makes sense he’d be important. Especially if working out Dr. Strange’s plan is a big part of the plot.

Amazing how the character with some of the most pathos is a Goddamn talking raccoon.

Seems so. She was shown being listed among the missing in the earlier trailer (next to Peter).
