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.

If Angelina Jolie is playing Sersi
, then Salma Hayak might be playing Thena
.
Or, hey, she might be playing the villain, in which case she's probably Ereshkigal
.
Anthony Mackie originally auditioned for the role of the Mandarin.
Edit: Also Lexi Rabe being bullied had nothing to do with people thinking she would play Riri Williams but with people mad about her not signing an autograph.

Looks like reviews for Spider-Man: Far From Home are trickling down onto the Internet.
ComicBook.com calls it "a thrilling, daring masterpiece."
Don't want to give too much, but overall it looks like it's nailed its plan of being much bigger than Homecoming while still being a small personal adventure after the 3-hour super-epic that was Avengers: Endgame.
Oh and there's something about 2 stingers that are so huge that to say anything would be spoilerific to the highest degree.
Ooooh, I'm excited. No spoilers, please. Hopefully I can see it this weekend.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I finally saw capitan marvel and I will said the movie is.....sort of meh?.
I mean I feel it kinda have the same thor problem of a awsome movie about space and all that....and getting stuck in earth, speak more since a) carol dosent remenber anything on earth and b) she barely used her power, in fact the biggest money show of the movie(her in a super sayaian esque transformation) only happen at the end.
Also nick fury is.....weird, is hard to see the always posturing as mysterious kind of guy as this kinda comical sidekick, granted he need to start somewhere but the contrast is baffing at times.
I like monica and I like talos waaaaaaaaay to damn much, the villian were forgottable and very 90 so whatever.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Yon-Rogg is a perfectly adequate villain in the context of Carol's journey and I have no major complaints with him (the deleted scene with him talking to...himself via the Supreme Intelligence is interesting but I'm not sure where if anywhere I would've had it in the movie), but in the same Phase as the likes of Vulture or Killmonger (also Mariah Dillard and Bushmaster), well, next to them he obviously comes up a bit short.
Self-serious autistic trans gal who loves rock/metal and animation with all her heart. (she/her)I'm glad that the last-released Stan Lee cameo movie (and a film of his proudest creation, according to himself) is good.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I actually tend to notice critics pointing out the weak Marvel villains first and foremost. The number of reviews for Marvel movies I've read that boil down to "The movie is fun, the acting is good, but the villain is forgettable" could fill a house (albeit with the older movies and generally not the post-Ultron ones).

I see what you mean for Thor, but to be fair Carol at least keeps her base powers for most of the movie rather than being mostly depowered at first like in Thor, and to be fair the movie made it perfectly clear it was gonna focus on Earth.
> Guess what I read was true.
at long last
Inhumans are coming to the MCU!
have a listen and have a link to my discord serverI feel that with Carol, being of Earth origin, her connection to Earth is important
To contrast with Peter Quill whose connection to Earth he actively runs away from.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers![]()
It definitely was a problem with Hal Jordan and Thor. Didn't really bother me with Carol, as despite it taking place on Earth, we still get the aliens coming on Earth and the plot and characters are primarily alien-focused. Plus if you want full space stuff, you got Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor Ragnarok. I do think future Captain Marvel movies should be space-based, though.

Even with those two make a total of what, three space relate movies? and while it was important, it also means carol cant relate until late on the movie while the kree feel intersting, earth is kinda oversued as setting and I dont feel it place capitan marvel strenght

It'll be pretty difficult or outright impossible for Natasha to beat him on a straight up fight. She is gonna need to get a good trick on him and hope is enough.
Wake me up at your own risk.
