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.

[up][up][up][up] Goddamn that homies already got the superhero build.

Also Wanda Vision is apparently set after Endgame.

WandaVision also takes place after Endgame, making me think the theories about this being a crossover between "Wanda rewrites the universe" and "Vision living in a suburban sitcom" theory is true.

As long as that doesn’t keep her from appearing in Captain Marvel 2, that’s fine.

It being set after Endgame gurrante's even more that Wanda & Visions romance will be a beautifal, heart-rending disaster of a mess.

Next up: Spring 2021 - LOKI.

“Didn’t I see Loki die in Infinity War? You did but what else did you see in Endgame,” said Feige - and now they are showing the scene where Loki slipped away.

So: alternate timeline Loki is out there and alive.

Loki's logo also looks ridiculous and great.

So it's Loki pre-Ragnarok Character Development, they just confirmed. So he's still the villain now and not the dude who gave his life to try and save his brother.

All the letters in Loki are different...

Significant?

Sweet.

So alternate Loki is kind of in the same boat as alternate Gamora. No lessons learned.

jESUS CHRIST THIS LOOKS AWESOME AND HORRIFYING.

If I’m gonna do a sequel it needs to go into the gothic and horror and “we’re gonna make the first scary MCU film” said director Scott Derrickson.
