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.

Someone's gonna have to put all of these in chronological order of release, since that's not how they're being announced.

[up][up] The first film is being announced last, probably because they have a teaser of some sort.

So the MCU as always is using past ideas better.

After all my main issue with Jane-Thor was how Thor himself got ousted from the position so hopefully they handle things more gracefully here.

So I guess if Thor 4's tackling Jane!Thor then that means Thor!Thor should be sticking with the Guardians throughout all of Vol. 3.

So, I've honestly never heard of Shang-Chi before. Who's he, exactly? (And also I'm definitely going to accidentally call him Shang Tsung for a while.)

I mean, we've seen that Mjolnir and Stormbreaker both empower him, and that someone else wielding the former still leaves him the latter.

So yeah, no reason to de-power Odinson.

Plus, are you guys saying you don't want to see Jane and Thor going Battle Couple Back-to-Back Badasses?

Cause I sure do.
