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 Infinity Stones can'f bring people back form nothing after being SNAP'd, but it can produce infinite resources by turning half the Universe into a cosmic Factory.

[down] Sorry. Just wanted to get fake spoilers. Keeps people more on edge about them.

At which point is it okay to put Endgame tropes for the characters of the MCU?

[up] I think 3 weeks after the movie comes out?

Incidentally, I REALLY need to see Captain Marvel, but I kinda promised Twitter I'd see Missing Link first.

[up]I'd prefer at least a day or two from Friday so that we don't get a deluge of excited new users posting shoehorned or misunderstood examples based on half-remembered first impressions.

I guess since people are leaving their spoilers unmarked in the spoiler thread I'll be avoiding that for a bit.

Yeah, I myself have even gotten in the habit of mostly seeking out reviews of a movie which are released at least a month (or longer) after the movie was released...because for one, they tend to be proper essays and have usually more interesting stuff to say, but mostly because the time allows a reviewer to properly process the movie.

Any guesses at what new trailers Endgame is going to feature?

I mean, it's practically a given that something big is going to paired with it. I wouldn't be surprised if we got our first teaser look at something coming next year or a new look at Far From Home or, across to the Distinguished Competition, got our first trailer of Wonder Woman 2 or something.

Another Frozen II trailer. tongue

And unless they got paid a lot of money, Disney would never debut a new DCEU trailer or would put it in one of the early slots where it has a bigger chance of being forgotten.

Why would they do that? No studio today is particularly about pretending the others don't exist. Marvel's had DC trailers in front of their movies before, and vice versa. Money is money, and shared hype helps everyone.

Well, what are the next big blockbusters which will get released? There is your answer.

There will be for sure at least a Far from home trailer.

Probably Detective Pikachu Trailer 3, Lion King Trailer 2 and maybe the teaser trailer for Joker?

I happen to live in a country where the Avengers movies are semi-national event.

Both on and offline communities are going crazy and relevant companies are actually issuing official statements urging people to not to spoil.

Yes, here MCU movies are Serious Business. XD

[up] The big ones where MCU movies are is typically America, China, UK and South Korea. Probably one of those 4 but I could be wrong.
