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.

The fact that the MCU slate for Disney+ for year one is so barren seems to suggest they traded streaming rights for certain MCU movies to Turner in exchange for the streaming rights to the Star Wars movies.
After all, Marvel is more valuable than Star Wars.
"The devil's got all the good gear. What's God got? The Inspiral Carpets and nuns. Fuck that." - Liam GallagherThe rights for some of the movies were also tied up with pre-existing contracts for other streaming services. Right now, everything starting from GOTG vol. 2 to Ant-Man and the Wasp (except Homecoming, which is a Sony movie) is on Netflix, for instance.

Feige talks about the streaming shows[1]
and mentions that the first episode of the What If series will be what if Peggy became the super soldier instead of Steve.
"What if Loki became King instead of Thor?"
What? What do you mean all of Asgard's on fire?!"
An actual serious one I'd be interested to see, but would probably take all of a tv show's budget, is "what if any of those attempts at replicating and mass producing Iron Man's tech back during IM 2 had actually succeeded?"

I thought you were joking at first, but then I read that this is the real name. Which brings me to my one question: why? This title just sounds weird, like their making it a sitcom.
Isn't there a critically acclaimed Vision story where he and Scarlet Witch are trapped inside a Lotus-Eater Machine that simulates an ideallic sitcom life for them? I thought I remembered hearing something like that. Maybe it's an adaptation of that.
There's an Eisner-winning story by Tom King called The Vision (2015). It does involve the Vision and his synthezoid family (wife Virginia, son Vin, and daughter Viv) in a domestic setting (the suburbs of Washington DC). Here's the thing, though: it is definitely not a comedy. It is a full blown tragedy. To give you a small hint of how creepy and tragic, this is one of the first pages of the book.

So uh... apparently concept art of WandaVision was shown behind closed doors and apparently Wanda and Vision were wearing black and white clothes that were compared to Leave It to Beaver.
So it actually might be a sitcom.
This song needs more love.

...what?
