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.

I'd just like to note that having a crush on someone and being sexually attracted to someone don't always go hand in hand.

We need a music-themed superhero in the MCU. Can’t think of any from Marvel, though.

I can think of music themed villain though.

Hypno-Hustler wen?

Ooh, a Dazzler movie where she goes up against Hypno-Hustler would be awesome.

Are we talking about Marvel basically doing a film version of Batman's Mayhem of the Music Meister! before DC can do it?

Good grief!

Hypno Hustler practically is the music meister...

Well ok, technically the music meister is the Hypno Hustler, but still.

To be fair, Rhodey isn't much of a politician, he is a soldier, I doubt he'll fit the job.

There have been many presidents in real life that were previously soldiers, so it's not unheard of.

If Tony survived Endgame, he'd have to figure out how to keep them from trying to make him president.

I'd be surprised if a lot of people were still Judaeo-Christian after The Masquerade has been blown and knowledge of aliens and Physical Gods has become commonplace.

You just know there's a cult somewhere on Earth that worships Thanos. It'd be really surprising if there wasn't one.

I mean, technically the strongest thing in the Marvel Universe is the Abrahamic God in some form.
