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.

Ah, you were talking about Made in Heaven, not The World.

[up] Oh, I thought you were joking. Yeah, you're thinking of DIO and his Stand, The World. I was talking about Pucci, and his final Stand, Made In Heaven. Pucci's defeat actually involves taking advantage of a Logical Weakness in speedster characters: his opponent creates a poisonous gas and Pucci accelerates time, causing the poison to wreck his body much faster than his opponent, since they're unaffected by the time acceleration.

[up]Well, it shows the effects of the entire human population dealing with time being accelerated 30+ times faster than normal, except for themselves, and the end-goal is to reset the universe by making time go fast enough that it hits the Big Crunch and another Big Bang.

Yo-Yo is by far the weakest part of the Agents ensemble. Her actress just doesn't have any kind of chemistry with the rest whatsoever, especially with Mack, her supposed Love Interest.

Her powers are the only thing worth watching her for.

I don't care how many people wanna fight tongue

I just find her character completely pointless and at points downright annoying. Especially during Season 5. It felt good to see her getting taken down a few notches after losing her arms due to her constant Smug Super Leeroy Jenkins attitude.

Plus, I just think that her actress is the weakest in the ensemble, especially next to people like Iain De Caestecker.

Don't hate me.

[up] No. They call her Yo-Yo because, uh, she goes fast and then snaps back. Like a yo-yo.

Technically, her code-name is "Slingshot."

... this is random, but I have to mention I'm super impressed with how far Chloe Bennet's come over the course of the series. Her acting in the first season was... bad. Now, the series as a whole was trying to find its feet but her acting was honestly really off-putting. She's great now, though.

Wow, if people get this riled up over a character in the show being characterized, they're really going to be perturbed by my opinion.

Two things I want an FF movie to do:

1) Keep the recent trend of making Sue a scientist in her own right.

2) Give Ben the ability to eventually change back and fourth between human form.
