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.

RE: avoiding leaked spoilers for Endgame:
Apparently, Chrome has an extension that blocks spoilers.
Just type in the keywords you're looking out for and any article, video, or whatever with those keywords get blocked.
It's already proving to be nifty!

Nice try, Ultimatum. You can't fool me!

In recent years the whole concept of summer blockbusters has been eroded significantly, especially for movies with a large built-in audience.
Blockbusters are still released during the summer, but they are spreading out across the whole year as well. Studios realize that having some more distance between big releases is more financially viable then stacking them all in the summer months.
Captain Marvel and Black Panther for example were both released well outside the "summer blockbuster" season and made over a billion dollars apiece.
The Summer blockbuster season officially starts in Mai. Hence Endgame will NOT count as a Summer blockbuster. Not that it matters, I think Disney was more concerned about having the released in as many countries as possible on pretty much the same day. And they succeeded. The even got China and Germany is releasing the movie on Wednesday instead of Thursday, which is pretty much a first. I can't remember that EVER happening.
Infinity War wasn't counted as summer release either. Some did it, using the argument that it was originally supposed to be a May released, but Endgame was always scheduled for April.
Naturally they could just redefine the definition for the start of the summer blockbuster season as "whenever Disney releases its tentpole blockbuster".
I'm in California too, and we had a couple hours of winter here a few weeks ago. It actually hailed in one spot in my city.
