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.

Memes in the original meaning of the word meant cultural DNA IIRC. Things like cliches, tropes, mores, rituals, narratives, etc.

Ever since I first saw Infinity War I couldn't help but see Fake!Thanos snapping Gamora's sword in two and be reminded of Steven Armstrong doing the same to Raiden's sword.

This reminds me of those vs. debates of Senator Armstrong vs. the MCU.

I remember a lot of people rooted for Armstrong to win out over Endgame Thanos (no Gauntlet, but with armor and Thanoscopter Blade).

Well, here's a fun one: Senator Armstrong vs Luke Cage.

Who wins?

I like Luke, but my money's on Armstrong.

That was one too. Unanimously agreed Senator Armstrong rips poor Luke Cage to shreds.

Armstrong is Hulk-tier at minimum, and has more impressive strength and durability feats than MCU Hulk by a wide margin.

Hulk has survived falling from a helicarrier and being thrown at earth by the bifrost

His durability is pretty great

So do Superman and Batman respectively. That does not disqualify them from being good boys.

Where is Fenris now? Where does that waterfall even go? Just into the void of space?

Does Asgard have infinite water, or does the waterfall just get cycled back up into the source? How much energy do they waste on that?

5 minutes after Fenrir fell, Asgard exploded, so it probably had a lot of debris coming its way.
