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.

A lot of these conversations happen in places that are technically visible to the public, but simply not frequented by people who aren't terrible.
Stormfront, the official website of Nazis, for instance. Or one of the "chans".
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Or any time someone leaks those private conversations to the public, where it becomes a news story for a couple minutes before everyone shrugs their collective shoulders and moves on, like disgusting conversations online are only limited in consequences to what happens online.
Or hell, there's a published book out there documenting these tactics and techniques designed to radicalize naive people. This book is written by someone using these tactics, as an instruction manual for people to use them, and hardly anyone cares.
There is also some sort of rule book out there about how to make the impression that the right is bigger than it is on You Tube and how to dox "leftists" and how to take down their videos through mass flagging. That is why you often get the same video about such issues from different accounts: The leftist community is defending itself by mirroring each other's videos.
Plus, those far right wingers are sometimes just stupid. Ie for all their "I disavow" nonsense, if you ever bought into it, there is video material from Charlottesville out there which shows exactly what kind of people they are. The material was filmed by them and then uploaded by the more stupid members of the movement. By the time they took it down, copies were already saved and happily used by those who want the truth about Charlottesville out there, pushing back against the "good people on both sides" narrative.
When it comes to media, they are even less careful. Once you bother to take a look, it is pretty clear what they are aiming at. The only question is always if the creator just ended up in the maelstrom of attention and clicks, or if he or she is actively pushing right-wing messages with sinister intend. But the question is kind of academic. Because the damage is the same.
Yeah, that was awesome.
EDIT: Yeah, I'm also pretty iffy on Infinity War. Hopefully Endgame can improve on the character work with its smaller (at first) main cast and longer duration.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Okay with that trailer I'm pretty sure I have an idea how the first act is going to go.
They mope around for a bit, Carol shows up, Tony and Nebula save themselves and make it to Earth, they regroup to fight Thanos, they either win but aren't able to bring everyone back or they straight lose, either way they go back to Earth defeated, time skip, Scott shows up, Natasha recruits Clint, Quantum shenanigans.
After that who knows?
This song needs more love.![]()
Apparently they were just late to the draw. April 26 at 8 PM. WHOOOOOOO!
Believe nothing. Feige has straight-up said that the trailers are full of lies.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"My showing of Captain Marvel was sold out on noon on a weekday almost a week after it came out. I highly recommend planning ahead.
