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.

Like Iron Man 3 was supposed to have a female villain and Dark World originally had Patty Jenkins directing.
Malekith and Killian are in their eternal race for dead-last of MCU villains, but if you ask me, at least Malekith has a mildly interesting design as opposed to Killian (who's literally just a white guy in a suit in every sense of the word).
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Yeah Malekith actually had potential but alas he was just another example of Thor 2 fucking itself in its ass.
Killian on the other hand gets increasingly nonsensical the more you think about it.
Oh poor Ultron, what a punk-ass.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I thought his powers were cool looking and challenging for Iron Man without being a clone of him again, but the character behind it was boring.
Anyway, James Gunn confirms
Thor will not be in his superhero movie.
You know, I'm still the only person who doesn't hate The Dark World.
There's only one logical explanation:
One Strip! One Strip!Apparently Vuk has challenged Malekith and Killian for the title of worst superhero movie villain out there. Probably fitting, since I've heard very little good about that movie.

Self-serious autistic trans gal who loves rock/metal and animation with all her heart. (she/her)If we're talking 'all'' comic book movies, none of them have anything on Steppenwolf and Enchantress and whoever the fuck was her brother.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Dismissing the powerset as "glowing red and producing heat" is kinda disingenuous. Heating parts of his body to throw out titanium-splitting punches, chops, and kicks like those thousand-degree knife videos, and regenerating from injuries is pretty cool to see in live-action in my opinion.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Plus, the post-credits scene to Justice League was just delightful, even though I know it will go nowhere:

Nowhere was the hollowed out head of a Celestial, and Ego was a Celestial.
