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.

So, only that much...not really a spoiler but if you are worried about your bladder: There is no end credit scene. You can safely leave once the credits start to roll.

And that's all I will say about the movie.

@Hallow Hawk - Well, I would've liked keep my nationality hidden outside the OTC. I kinda don't appreciate that? Oh well, too late for that I suppose.

Yes, MCU is MASSIVE in Korea. Like, goddamn. If only we had more population, we would've been the biggest MCU audience outside of North America.

I am not kidding, I just saw a bunch of guys getting into a fist-fight because the other guy spoiled Endgame. [lol]

Hell, get this: restaurants around big theaters actually have signs put up, asking patrons to not to talk about Endgame spoilers inside the building.

Lastly, the ticket resaling, especially for the first night, got so bad that distributors have declared legal war against the resalers. Most expensive ticket I've seen so far: equivalent of $500.

[up][up] Frankly, that is a nicer experience than I had before watching the movie...which was some guy walking down the street, screaming islamophobic BS at everyone who looked like a fitting target. Frankly, I wouldn't have blamed anyone who would have decked him in reaction, but thankfully everyone ensured that the situation didn't escalate.

But I really hated that this happened in the first place. Really spoiled the mood of the day.

I was right, btw, no problem to get the seat I wanted. The next two showings were pretty full, though.

[up] Two hours away? wow...some parts of England are really left behind, aren't they?

[up] Yikes. That sounds awful. Sorry to hear you had to deal with that shit.

Turns out I will be seeing it this Saturday. My mom checked to see if there were still tickets online, and there were. One of my brothers is back in town for the weekend, so we’d been hoping it’d work to see it. I just hadn’t checked because I assumed it would all be sold out.

Here's an interesting detail I found: in Infinity War, Thanos claims his actions helped save Gamora's race, but in Got G it's implied she's the last of her kind.

Probably a Series Continuity Error, but I thought it was worth bringing up.

I feel like Gamora’s old man is becoming senile in his elder years. tongue

Probably went back to her planet, saw it functioning, and assumed it would be OK forever.

And then things went downhill and everyone died, but he never bothered to check again.

Maybe it is simply a tribe and not the name of the people of the whole planet. It's really not that important.

Or it was a small detail nobody bothered to correct.

[up] Naturally it is, but it is our job to act as if they care about continuity just as much as we do, even when they sh... all over it.

I was hoping it’d come up in Endgame as proof of Thanos’ stupidity and/or deceit.

We don't talk about Endgame here. Too risky. Someone might accidentally slip something.

Anyone expecting callbacks or ironic echoes to lines from previous movies to show up in Endgame? Lately, I thought about how they could revisit Fury's "you have made me very desperate" speech or literally anything Thanos has said in the past.

Ooooh that’d be good.

I just want them to do right by Steve and Thor. Those two are my favorites of the OG Avengers; I want them done justice.

The fact that you capitalized Machete makes me imagine you pulled Danny Trejo out of a sheathe or something.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
