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.

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.Shit seriously?
I was enjoying Scarlett as Widow.
Why? Why do things I like get ruined by their actors or voice actors being assholes?
Real Life wrecks things again.
That’s why real people will be replaced by fictional people soon. Hatsune Miku will become the next leading actress and also president
Forever liveblogging the AvengersEven beforehand I didn't think she was a particularly compelling Widow acting-wise. Most of my affection for the character comes from her depiction in Winter Soldier, which came down to a mix of a decently performance of some really stellar writing and Johannsen's chemistry with Chris Evans which can't be maintained now that Cap has been retired from the MCU.

Looks like things really kicked off for her after the Olympics.

Fuck it, I still love Buffy the Vampire Slayer after all these years and I don't care.
Johansson being a shitty self-centered person has been known for quite a while now. I knew at least as far back as the Ghost in the Shell debacle.
I also knew about the ronda Rousey thing bc of her performance in mortal Kombat ticking people off. I think she's also made some transphobic comments in the past.

What frustrates me about the Rousey thing is that she's also taking on the nickname (and actual leather jacket) of a Wrestling Legend (who had the jacket given to her by his family with his permission before his death) so she's not just doing things that look badly on her: she's tainting his name.
The poor acting was something that could have been forgiven (though it likely would not have been), but the fact that she's done this other shit is not cool.
One Strip! One Strip!With Scarlett Johansson Marvel has the excuse that they did actually sign her before her really problematic traits came to the surface, way back in 2010, and by the time Johansson really started to self-destruct her image with Ghost in the Shell and open defenses of Woody Allen they could argue Johansson was too associated with Black Widow to replace.
Ronda Rousey is worse because they'd be hiring her after she already exploded her entire image in a multitude of ways (losing badly at UFC, terrible performance in Mortal Kombat, sandy hook denying, e.t.c).

So, why wasn't Carol part of the time heist?
Hell, if she'd been there, she could have done the snap. While we don't know what affect using the gauntlet would have had on her, I'd guess she has a much better chance of tanking it than Bruce or Thanos.
I mean, I know the Doylist reason that she probably could have prevented a lot of the issues that came up at the end, but there doesn't seem to be a doylist reason why she was left out..
One Strip! One Strip!It seems to be just rumor right now.
Though Clarkisha Kent had a some good discussion about it if Xavier and Erik are recast as POC
.

They mean the "Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting"
