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 adore Krull. Absolutely love it, rewatch it now and you notice the snarky dialogue that wouldn’t be out of place in a modern film, and that cast list! Plus I still consider Lysette Anthony one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

I like it.

Well, except for the gold on the arms, but that's mostly that I think it's in the wrong spot.

Beyond that, it's design reminds me of his armours from the first two movies and the first Avengers. I always liked those ones.

I'm pretty sure they're comic book-accurate, but I'm not sure if I like the yellow shoulder pads.

Oh, and LXXXV is 85. Geez, where does he find the time and supplies to build these armors?

(Realizes he's a lost in space bazillionaire and could probably haggle with aliens like a boss.)

He's gonna use up all the the Earth's supply of gold and titanium, and start looting other planets.

Maybe the other 40 armors are actually tiny Iron Men that make up the Mark 85 collectively.

It's a neat touch that Steve and Tony are donning outfits reminiscent of their classic comic designs for what may be their final battle.

Thor needs his helmet if I'm being honest.

It's...it's just not the same without it.

Tony has like a bazillion suits, meanwhile Rhodey's still using the same one.

Tony wants to innovate.

War Machine just needs to blow dudes up.

I assume he's received new suits with the same overall aesthetic however. It may be that there's just not as much to indicate it's different because Tony tends to change the physical look more often (I mean, he did toss the Red and the Gold on there because it looked good).

Hey.

If Captain America was the first Avenger as in chronologically the first person to exist who then joined an Avengers team unless they get some ancient fucks on there. And Carol Danvers was the first Avenger as in Fury stole her code name

Was Rhodey the Last Avenger since he was the last person as an official Avenger because everyone else was AWOL or super illegal?

Edit: my whole premise is flawed. Thor super old

The War Machine suit in the trailer is definitely new. And not just because it has a raccoon hanging off it.
