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.

Speaking of which, guess what's not on Disney+?
It's because Spectacular Spider-Man was produced by Sony, rather than Marvel or Disney. That's why they cancelled it once Disney regained the animation rights back for Spider-Man.

I believe Sony still has the distribution rights to the show, too, which is why it's not on Disney+.

Presumably, T'Challa wouldn't call himself Star-Lord, because that was Peter's mother's nickname for him. T'Challa would call himself...I don't know, Star-Panther?

I think he would call himself Star Lord but would be treated seriously.

I plan to rewatch Gargoyles (I was actually around for when it was the shiny TV hotness), but Imma give Disney+ time to get their servers in order. I keep running into problems.

Disney. Disney, you have all of the money. You print money. You could literally buy a small country and turn it into a server farm. There is no reason for you, of all companies, to have streaming troubles.

I suspect the reason they're having trouble is that they went for the cheaper servers,hence the low price,netflix is more expensive but fairly good streaming

I think the only reason I don't run into these crippling problems I hear about is because I'm a night owl that's mostly been using Disney+ in the wee hours of the morning.

Looks like Disney was a bit unready for the huge strain presenting such a "come to this one source for EVERYTHING DISNEY" option would have on servers at peak hours.

My mom and her boyfriend went and got Disney+ for all of us. Guess I'll give it some more time too.

I don't think there could BE enough stress testing that could prepare any server for this kind of onslaught.

I'm waiting a bit too for things to simmer down before trying to get on.

I haven't had much problems with the service. Sometimes a show pauses, but then it starts again in a few seconds.

I've had films run smoothly and I've had stuttering and crashing problems. Whether it works at a given moment seems to be a crapshoot.

"Is it internet connection", I say ignorantly, knowing that that's probably not it in the slightest.

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.

Probably not, seeing as YouTube and Netflix don't have the same issues.

According to Jeff Goldblum, he and Robert Downey Jr. will be appearing as their MCU characters in What If...?

Cue the cries of "enough with Tony, guys! He's already dead!"

But seriously, it's just voice acting, so it's not nearly as time-consuming as physical acting, ergo, we're okay with RDJ just voicing Tony, right?

Wait why wouldn't someone be okay with him playing Tony in a non-canon AU where he would be alive?

He voice acted in a Family Guy episode 15 years ago, so sort of.

Chris Hemsworth hasn't done voice acting before but would we be miffed that he would be joining as well?

EDIT: Okay so he has done voice acting for video games based off the movies he has been in so never mind.

I don't hear anybody griping about Evans or Atwell reprising their roles. One is not quite dead and the other is dead in the main MCU.

So, the forum has come to a conclusion: this is a nonissue and why would it be an issue?

Yeah, it's a strawman complaint that nobody here has come even close to making.
