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.

"I find it amusing that Rocket's now been an Avenger for longer than he's been a Guardian of the Galaxy."

I imagine Wanda talking to Rocket and Nebula.

-Wanda: Hello, are you the new members.?

-Rocket and Nebula: Bearing in mind that you were missing for 5 years, we have been members for longer than you.

The comments in that article pointed out that this is essentially a real life version of Mystique or the Chameleon.

Clearly the scammer is actually auditioning for one of those roles.

Like those gray-hat hackers who breach a company's defense system so they can get hired as their security expert.

Chances are the scammer is part of a group that poses as one person person,and the chances are they're someone who already has connections in the industry

I mean, hackers do do that, that is totally a thing in cybersecurity. Not sure if that kind of "method acting" would get you hired as Mystique or Chameleon, though, especially if it involves identity defrauding some big executives.

While I don't think this is some secret audition thing, I gotta admit that the sexual harassment thing is entirely in character for Mystique or Chameleon.

Well she's actually evil for one.

Of course there's complexity & some ambiguity but there's none of that "she has a good heart" like the Jennifer Lawrence version.

Here's a thought,wild mass guessthey'll fix One More Day's storyline by having Peter make a deal with Mephisto to

resurrect Tony Stark

edit:And another,if Squirrel Girl ever appears she'll probably show up in a Deadpool movie somewhere

[up]That's assuming Marvel and ABC Studios don't suddenly revive the New Warriors TV Seriesv (also in the MCU).

Milana Vayntrub was already casted as Squirrel Girl for the former Freeform series, and filming started early 2018, but Freeform dropped the broadcasting agreement and Jeph Loeb is (presumungly) still shopping the show to other networks.

I never understood why Hulu didn't pick it up. It would be perfect for Hulu.

[up]Heck if I know considering they picked up those four animated shows. Maybe they didn’t want to make the Netflix mistake of going all in on MCU programs and then have corporate priorities change as they’re want to do.

Is it possible it will make it to Disney +? Or will stupid holloywoof politics get in the way since Loeb is producing?

Okay, so without any kind of joking about it, what IS the gimmick of Squirrel Girl? cuz the way people seem to talk about it, it sounds like it would really annoy me.

But that might just be the memeish way lots of fans talk about her.
