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.

Gimme the jolly green lawyer show!

Probably unlikely that we'll be seeing Hellcat's friendship with Jen considering how Trish ended up on Jessica Jones but I'll take what I can get...

Is She-Hulk getting her own show?

Yep.

Honestly I'm looking forward to the Disney+ shows more than the movies at this point.

When I saw the She-Hulk logo, I was like "WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT?!" surprisedsurprisedsurprised

I thought they couldn't use her because Universal!

And Darcy from the Thor movies is coming to Wanda Vision?

WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT surprisedsurprisedsurprised

Also, Moon Knight for Disney+?! How about that? We still don't know who's playing him, right?

Yeah, I think I’ll take a break from raging about Spider-Man after all. They'll work something out. No wants to go lose-lose.

SHE-HULK?! HOLY SHIT! I thought there was issues with making movies/shows with her because of Universal? Whatever, I'm just glad she's getting a show!

Dammit, between this and Ms. Marvel and Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I really might end up having to get Disney+ huh?

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Might I just make a suggestion: Alison Brie for Jennifer Walters...and Betty Gilpin for She-Hulk.

I think it's a given that Bruce is going to appear, since Jennifer's backstory is directly tied to her cousin.

Wow, Disney knew what they where doing demanding that new deal.

You lost spider-who? Who cares... bring me Ms. Marvel!!! Moon Knight!!! Give me some She-Hulk!!!!

Sony just lost any bargaining chip with this announcement. I wouldn't blame them if they don't give Spider-man back to the MCU. They would be extremely pety, but at least would loose with some dignity and doing some little damege to the Juggernaut that is being Disney amd Marvel right now.

They better give Moon Knight his bird skull costume that he uses to punch out ghosts.

[up][up][up][up] I don't follow. Why do they have any more reason to give Spider-Man back? Did they announce a show about changing the contract so Disney doesn't get jump to double digits with their percentage in their new deal?

[up] Everyone's worried that Sony will more than likely half-ass their efforts with the web crawler, which is probably not that great because A) audience will KNOW it's not an MCU adventure and B) there's still those rumors that Sony will lose their film and TV divisions later down the line.

Plus, there's still that flipping cliffhanger in FFH...

Dudes and dudettes, we just got spider-Man holding the infinite gauntlet while gwtting a ride from Mjolnir trown by Cap freaking Amwrica and latter by a pegasus to a time machine in a van that plays "La Cucaracha".

That I'm sad that the MCU lost Spider-Man? Yes, I am. But we got incredible things while he was there, and we well continue to recieve more even if he's not there anymore.

I know is sad, but all we can do is be optimist until we heard news of the deal, and in the worse scenerio, be prepared to move on.

So who would the villains be in all these shows?

cuz that's always where my mind goes when a new film or show is announced.

I'm personally hoping for some Hulk villains for She-Hulk to deal with, such as the Leader and so on.

[up][up] Ms. Marvel will need The Inventor.

Not sure about Moon Knight, maybe the thugs that left Marc for dead?

She-Hulk's enemies will be Sony's lawyers.

Kamala's definitely going to face off against the Inventor, a.k.a. Thomas Edison cloned into a cockatoo's body.
