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.

Hey, if you're an alien on Sakaar, you're either a slaver or a slave, and it's better to be a slaver than a slave. She still turned on the Grandmaster pretty much immediately, her counterpart from the comic version, Caiera, had to be convinced over the whole arc to turn on the Red King.

Yeah, but Caiera had this whole "duty bound" deal going on, what with being raised as a Warrior Monk, Val aligned herself with the Grandmaster out of convenience, little else.

I love Val, but unknowing is right: she's one hell of a Karma Houdini.

[up][up][up]the first thing she did was to capture and sell Thor, yeah she is and enslaver.

[up][up]Neither THAT quick, it took while in order to break her cynicsm about the whole thing between Odin and Hela(the fact she serve a warmonger is another thing enterly).

Recall also that Valkyrie busted out all the gladiators and kicked off the revolution of Sakaar. She served an empire, and then she toppled it. Then she went home to topple another one.

Man its a shame Caiera hasn't been brought on board, she's one of the few women in the universe who can handle Hulk on the battlefield....... and in bed.

What Hulk deserves love too. tongue

And now is the queen of said empire she help to topple.

Karme houdini or no, Valkire is a very intersting woman, that is for sure.

Not really an empire anymore so much as one rickety village.

Uh, no, Valkyrie helped topple the Grandmaster's empire, not Asgard. And she's now King of Asgard, not Queen.

By the way, I just found this advertisement for Captain America: Civil War that I've never seen and it's hilarious:

Well is not a empire she topple, the grandmaster is not emperor or anything, just to be tecnicaltongue

Now it would be hilarious were people introduce Valkire as queen and when someone ask "of what?" she will said "of.....this area, that it"

Well it is kind of an empire.

The Grandmaster basically had complete domain of all Sakaar.

I think what it baffle me of Valkire being a slaver is how nobody coment on it even when she, the women of color, capture and slave a white, nordic dude in gladiatorial games, it sound like the premise of a bady writen sword and sorcery novel and yet people never make a fuss about it.

[up]I know but I would have expect a mention or something, is surprising how low key that was.

Meh, I like valkire, for all the bad stuff, she is not wanda, I can give her that.

Why would anyone mention it?

No alien cares about Earth shit & Bruce has got more important things on his mind.

I, however, will not. Knock that shit off about “why is nobody talking about this black woman enslaving this white man?”

You’re heading into waters you are not ready to discuss.

[up][up]Ok, I will drop bit because other trope ask and it could make stuff unconfortable, but "that shit" wasnt mine, it was from the damn movie and I feel i can complain about I see as tasteless in the same vein many have complain about other stuff(Mantis status), I hope we dont have a problem with that.

That being said and the theme being drop, any change jourmungader will appear? Im mad he didnt show up in ragnarok, serpernt of midgar vs hulk would be awsome.

They could always use Jormurgand as a way to kill off Thor later.

Preferably as a way to introduce Beta Ray Bill.

It will start a topic that will not lead to good things.
