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.

The Netflix Defenders will be there for sure. Thanos's Snap erased Danny Rand.

Now Jessica Jones, Matt Murdock, Luke Cage, Colleen Wing, and even Frank Castle why not, will team up to find Thanos. And protect him from the Avengers. Thus ensuring that reality remains exactly as it is now, post-Snap.

The Defenders meet the Avengers, and Jessica starts getting filled with this weird sense that she and Carol were BFFs, that she dated Scott, and that Thor once hammered her in the face.

Dammit! Danny is better after the second season!

He spends the entire thing realizing what a fuck up he is and trying to be better!

...you know what? I'll agree to forgive Star Lord if you ease up on Danny.

I'll go that far. What about you Tobias?

Wong's knowledge of Beyonce will be an important factor in the final battle. Not to mention we get the long-awaited MCU debuts of Darkhawk, Foolkiller, Sleepwalker, and Captain Ultra.

I still always pictured when the ship showed up in Infinity War, Jessica looked out the window, drained a bottle of Jack Daniels, and went right back to bed.

But I'm actually mad at Star Lord.

With Tony, I'm just ribbing him (halfway I admit. I do think he's the worst villain in the MCU, despite his own efforts to the contrary).

Honestly, just send the Flerken at Thanos.

Or send Cloak and Dagger. Speaking of which the first two episodes were amazing. The show does a way better job pointing out everyday racism and how difficult it is to tackle the gang problematic than Luke Cage is. And it still throws me off a loop on a regular basis.

Honestly, just send the Flerken at Thanos.

FUN FACT

Death Battle recently did a Community DB poll over who would win in a fight: Goose/Chewie, Captain Marvel's flerken pet, versus Ace the Bat-Hound. It was overwhelmingly agreed in a landslide vote that Batman's dog ain't got shit against what Rocket Raccoon has outright named to be among the most dangerous creatures in the universe. Flerken wins.

Why Ace? Wouldn't Krypto have been more appropriate, and seemingly less one-sided.

My prompt here wasn't about just changing one incident, but is it morally right to do so, and at what point does the equation change? Basically, Thanos has set up a trolley problem.

Dibs on post 100,000.

As for this, oh, those nuts definitely exist. In fact, I bet some of the people whining the movies are now "too PC" (yes, that is a thing being said) probably agree with Thanos but also want him to target people not like them.

As for the comic linked, I want to believe Thanos went and retrieved Ebony Maw, even if it makes zero in-character sense for him to do so.
