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.

What Tuckerscreator is referring to is known as Roko's Basilisk. It's a...rather stupid hypothesis...that when humanity achieves the singularity, the Super-AI will create copies of the minds of all people who didn't contribute to its creation as punishment for not creating them. It will then torture these copies in some form of computer simulation. It argues that these copies are as "real" as the person they're copies of-essentially a sort of mind upload to virtual hell.
This hypothesis is easily disproven in several ways. In particular: An ASI cannot just create copies of a person's brain, copies of a person's brain are not the same person necessarily, and this behavior makes no sense.
Leviticus 19:34Idle thought.
In The Avengers (2012), Captain America said Phase 2 would be that S.H.I.E.L.D. uses the Tesseract to make Hydra weapons.
But he was wrong. Phase 2 was actually that Hydra uses Stark tech to make S.H.I.E.L.D. weapons. And then later, Phase 2 was that Stark uses Hydra tech to make Thanos weapons.
Steve was so close, but his proper nouns were way off!

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Stop acting like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't exist! Lord knows the films do that enough on their own.
In fact, they announced a Ghost Rider show for Hulu earlier this year. Now, I highly doubt it'll crossover with the Disney Plus shows or the movies, but still.
Ultron does that villain thing where he hijacks every channel to deliver an ultimatum to the world
But he just tells people to support his Kickstarter

If you back at the $1 level you'll be put on a list to kill last, after everyone who didn't back at all.
At $5 Ultron or an Ultron drone will personally give you a highfive before he kills you.
At $50 you get a "I gave Ultron money and all I got was this absolutely rad t-shirt" t-shirt.
If you back at the $500 level, you get a mini-Ultron drone who will drink all of your pepsi and call you mean names.
Forever liveblogging the Avengers![]()
I feel like there should be an option to be put at the front of the list as an alpha tester. Feedback from early adopters is important if Ultron wants to get this project off the ground.
