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.

I've heard that Marvel Studios wants to do something with Ghost Rider (either a movie or a Disney+ show). Maybe that's why Marvel Television's GR show for Hulu got cancelled?
On one hand, that definitely sucks. Gabriel Luna's take was great. On the other, this frees up GR to appear elsewhere in the MCU, potentially even actually connected to everything else. He's too big of a character to just drop.
They should definitely keep it as Robbie Reyes though.
This song needs more love.Now that they're rebooting Blade and are doing a Doctor Strange sequel, maybe they're eventually working towards a Midnight Sons movie. Especially since the distinguished competition's Justice League Dark film has fallen by the wayside.

I don’t know who you’re referring to. The only major Latino character of note in the MCU last I checked was Luis.
I have watched Guardians of the Galaxy!
Summary: A Ragtag Bunch of Misfits must save the Universe from a Kree fanatic called Ronan the Accuser.
Stan Lee cameo: A Xandarian ladies' man.
Observations:
- The Marvel Studios Vanity Plate doesn't start the movie. A flashback to Peter's mother dying and him later getting abducted by aliens, I mean, the Ravagers does. And the necessary info is dumped right after it.
- I like how Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket, Groot and Drax the Destroyer bond with each other. They start off as cold, mostly professional and then they become Fire-Forged Friends. D'awww...
- Ronan wasn't that memorable to me. He just wants to honor his ancestors by wiping everyone in his way (especially non-Kree civilizations that make the crime to dare sign a peace treaty with the Kree Empire). Even when he betrays Thanos and holds the Power Stone for himself, hexs an Anti-Climax Boss at the end. Or I am wrong.
- D'awww, Groot, it's so sweet how you make light... wait, Groot, what are you doing? You're sacrificing yourself (to protect your friends, of course)? Nooooooo! You were my favorite! Hey, at least you survived and start to grow again!
- Aaah, the Collector is here! Not too important, his lair is destroyed.
- Cute doggy with astronaut costume! Who's a good doggy? Yes you are, Cosmo the Space Dog!note
- The Infinity Stones' origins are revealed.
- Thanos has a bit larger role here, I guess. Oh, and he was also Terrence Howard'd, too. By Josh Brolin.note
- So, the Nova Corps in the MCU are like some sort of space police, I guess.
- I loved space and spaceships as a kid! So, why hate this movie?
- There's a fair dose of explosions in this movie.note
The Stinger: Again, two:
- Groot, now a baby, dances on Peter's music.
- Howard the Duck has some words for the Collector.
