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.

Pedro Almodóvar, and legions of A03 fans, demand we see superheroes f***.

When he says he wants to see superheroes f***, does he mean f*** other superheroes or just f*** in general because I know Tony Stark has at least done it once.
EDIT: Damn it, forgot Drax. He is probably the horniest character in the MCU.

So what’s keeping them from being cinema is sex?
Well, Ok then. Guess we need to see some man and women having sex in big budget films, then they’ll be cinema!

Hulk Never Smash.
...at least until Ragnarok, when he met a woman he could smash as Hulk.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.So, Bob Iger got involved, evidently.
Which frankly doesn't seem wise, especially since now he's dragged Ryan Coogler's name into it.

(heavily paraphrased)
Scorsese and Coppola: Marvel films aren't real cinema, but brainless distractions for the unwashed masses.
Almodovar: Eh. Could be hotter.
At least we've stopped calling them 'cultural genocide,' which always really bothered me. In large part because some movies being popular bears no resemblance to actual cultural genocide. Also, did anyone catch Almodovar accidentally (on purpose? I don't know much about him) calling all superheroes non-binary and asexual?

Real culture can come from mindless spectacle, too. As mentioned, Baroque architecture was created to convince people that Catholics were cooler than Protestants. Or the acclaimed painter Peter Paul Rubens, known for his paintings of mythological scenes and full-figured women; most scholars actually believe that he simply painted women like that because he found that sort of figure sexy, no deeper reason than that.
Art vs. schlock is not nearly the clear-cut dichotomy it seems.

Also, there is a diferent of what a work does have to said and what you can extract from it, I mean some queer people feel indentify with lovecraft work for their on reason and unfortune implication are unfortune because they werent though to be there to being with.
To some point is very posible to a job to be important by accident.

It literally caused Continent wide tremors because of it.

Watch Symphogear

Toby Jones is also the Gelfling librarian from Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (which I may or may not be currently shilling out of a desire for more people to give it a watch). That show also had Awkafina as the Skeksis Collector, which uh, knowing the context, maybe isn't something you (or at least I) would quite expect her to be playing.
