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.

I can't blame you for getting out of there. That was clearly gonna go bad.
I know we need to be realistic about all this, but IF this situation actually does work out in a week's time, the troll, whoever they are, is going to look particularly silly in hindsight.
Indeed. Though someone like that would be unlikely to let themselves be bothered by such things anyway.
Jerk would probably betray us to the Decepticons anyway. Can't trust him.
Asking this again since it probably got lost on the last page:
If and when Marvel goes all in on Nova, who do you think they'll use: Sam or Richard?
One Strip! One Strip!
I would like them to go the same route with Spiderman ITSV, with Dick Richard Ryder as the cynicla mentor (Peter B. Parker) and Sam as the naive newcomer (Miles).
Now how would they explain Richards being already an human in space and seasoned in the nova suit gonna be difficult, unless they change him into being a Xandarian from the beggining.

They could go the Star Lord route and say he was taken from Earth years earlier and found his way into the Corps?
Maybe have him and Sam's dad be buddies? We know there have been Aliens on Earth well before Thor, or even before the Skrulls and Kree. Or at least there were ones who Shield never knew about.
Which version of the costume would you go with? I actually prefer Sam's myself.
One Strip! One Strip!My only exposition to the suit are the Marvel vs Capcom one, and the Ultimate Spiderman cartoon. So I would have to say the Mv C one.
According to recent statements, the eternals would be able to beat the guardians and the Avengers at the same time.
I guess this includes Wanda, Carol, Strange, Cap with Mjlonir, and Thor in his prime (Infinity War).
So they are probably more powerful than Thanos (Base).
It is weird that at one time it was said that Thanos was stronger guy in the universe and out of nowhere comes a complete race that is more powerful than him.

It might be a numbers thing
Even if every Eternal isn’t as strong as Thanos they could dogpile him
And if they’re roughly on his same weight class, considering how much putting down Thanos required, it’s not unreasonable that the Eternals as a group could beat up the other hero groups
Forever liveblogging the AvengersSuccessfully destroying the kingdom he spent his life trying to usurp is pretty ambiguous so far as heroic deeds go. Like, the context of needing to do it in order to defeat Hela makes it a good. But. Like. Big picture, Loki tried to steal the throne of Asgard twice and then he turned Asgard into a molten heap of shattered hopes and ruined dreams, rendering the Asgardian people refugees and ending the seemingly endless reign of the greatest kingdom in the Nine Realms.
Loki destroyed Asgard. Like, successfully destroyed Asgard. It's gone. Forever. Because of him. I can see why Palps would give him a pass on "But he also screwed another bad guy while doing it."
And he didn't sacrifice himself for Thor. He gave Thanos the Tesseract (which he had swiped from Asgard without telling anyone). Then he tried to shank Thanos. Then Thanos didn't let Loki shank him and instead killed Loki. That's not a sacrifice, that's a failed attempt at surprise murder.
This is not like the Suicide Squad, who were "villains" 'cause the movie says so but were really just a bunch of particularly surly antiheroes who almost never do anything wicked or villainous. He may have made a Heel–Face Turn in Ragnarok, but even as a good guy, Loki, Destroyer of Asgard, Failed Betrayer-Assassin of Thanos totes still has villain cred. He's even got a new show coming up that erases his Character Development, to boot.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.If Thanos is an Eternal and the Eternals are just an entire species of people as strong as Thanos, no shit a large team of them could wreck the Guardians and the Avengers at the same time, that's obvious. Makes me wonder what the scale of this movie is gonna be, if every single member of the team is going to be roughly on the same tier of power as Thanos.

Oh, right, duh. He had a whole Power Point presentation about how he was the last survivor. I forgot.
Laughing my ass off at the review quote on the Far From Home Blu-Ray release

Oh no. He's one of those guys who defends the Decepticons, isn't he?
The legend has returned.
