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 think their play will be to nominate it and then have it lose to Scorsese.
Another day, another director weighing in on Marvel movies. But in this...it's kind of awesome? Bong Joon-ho, director of The Host, Snowpiercer, and Parasite, stated that he would never direct a Marvel movie
, but not for reasons you would expect:
Of courses, now all we need is to get a superhero who wears loose, flowing clothes and then Bong Joon-ho can direct that. Any suggestions?

If we go by his vibe of often writing psychologically intense thrillers and also disliking tights, he could function with a take on Legion or the MAX version of Foolkiller though the former has already come off on the heels of a amazing tv show.
With DC he could do a great Sandman, maybe.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."I didn’t know the guy behind The Host also did Snowpiercer. Does anyone else remember when The Host played on G4 years ago? It’s a really good action-horror movie if you haven’t seen it. Has a lot in common with Train to Busan.
Also I’m rewatching the Marvel movies on D+ right now. I’m on Captain America: The First Avenger so far.
“If you have a message for the devil give it to me and I’ll take it to him.”
Does it keep the Paramount logo or nah?
Also, not sure if it's been brought up, but a deleted scene from Avengers: Endgame changes one character's fate.
Namely, it reinterprets Thanos' death by Snap by having the Ancient One establishing that a Snap does not mean deader than dead. It just means that they're "willed out of existence" and are on a different spectrum or something. So theoretically, there could be a point where Thanos comes back.
Then again, it's a deleted scene, so it doesn't matter too much, right? Though if Thanos DOES come back, it's so Doctor Doom can kick his ass a la Jonathan Hickman's Secret Wars.
I really don't think they're gonna bring Thanos back.
Sure, they hypothetically could by pulling another Time Heist, recollecting the Stones, and reverse-snapping him back. But why would anybody do that? Thanos doesn't have friends who miss him, just terrified subjects who are happy he's gone, mindless beasts who wouldn't know how to work a time machine, and sycophantic "children" who all died with him anyway.
And Doylistically speaking, he served his purpose and left the stage in a final and appropriate manner that will never be topped. Bringing him back would be a disservice both to Avengers: Endgame and to his character.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!I think the deleted scene was just to justify why snapped people could come back and why they didn’t bring back everyone else
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI recall either the writers or the directors talking about how the Infinity Gauntlet cannot actually raise the dead. They said something to the effect that the Gauntlet couldn't bring Nat back because true resurrection is beyond its power, and that it could only bring back the people that were Snapped because the Snap was performed with the Gauntlet in the first place.
I want to say it was the writers; the directors have explained the Gauntlet's inability to raise Nat as being because she was sacrificed to Vormir. But I don't remember.
But that deleted scene sounds like what they were talking about. People who were Snapped aren't really dead, they're just mostly dead, so the Infinity Gauntlet can bring them back just fine. It's just people who are Really Really For Realsies Super-Really Dead that can't be resurrected.
