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.

Well, try to calm down. I might end up having to get the mods on you, because its starting to become disruptive more then anything.

[up] O__O'!

Let's change the subject!

You guys remember that footage of What If...? there's someone who isn't Peter Quill being Star-Lord?

Think that was Erik Killmonger?

T’Challa has been spending a lot of time in space in his own book lately

So maybe!

They should do a bunch of What If's for "What If X character was Star-Lord?". That's an interesting premise.

What if Yondu took T'Challa?

What if Yondu took Tony Stark?

What if Yondu took Steve Rogers?

What if Yondu took Peter Parker?

What if Yondu took Wanda Maximoff?

What if Yondu took Motherf*cking Thor?

  • Yondu: I brought you your son!
  • Ego: ...
  • Yondu: What? Did I grab the wrong kid?
  • Ego: This is the Tesseract.
  • Yondu: Oh. Whoops. Well, I'd better take that back and—
  • Ego: NO NO NO leave it. I'm sure I can find some use for this.
