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.

Super serum Tony would build an Infinity Gauntlet that would immediately come to life and strangle him. tongue

Going off his track record, it's more likely for someone else to take and try to kill Tony. So basically Endgame.

Tony is a magnet for assassins and people with a grudge.

Though said people with a grudge seem to be more about killing a lot of other people rather than killing Tony, even though he's the one they hate.

I joke I used to said that everytime tony have some kind of crisis, is answer is to build something,Trauma for avengers? build tons of armors, Wanda wammy is mind? build Ultron with the scepter, ultron prove wrong? finish Ultron protect.

That means if he got a middle age crisis or erectile disfuntion, he would have build the fucking death start.

His response to failing to stop Thanos was to build a child.

Man, I don’t know whether I’d be disappointed or super hype if Tony’s daughter turned out to be a Ridiculously Human Robot.

[up][up][up][up] You joke, but that's literally what Iron Man 3 stated. Tony has a panic attack and Harley manages to calm him down by telling him "Why don't you just build something"?

Actually, for what it's worth, I could totally see throwing himself into his work being some kind of coping mechanism. He has a bad day, he tries to get it off his mind by building something.

Speaking of Tony, this was a Jeopardy category.

[up] Me neither.

Anyway, Marvel Studios is gearing up for its big CCXP presentation tomorrow. Anyone expecting anything besides Black Widow and Eternals?

(Still banking on Ryan Reynolds being announced to be Deadpool since we're in a situation similar to how Brie Larson was announced to be Carol while she was in SDCC '16 promoting Kong: Skull Island and now Ryan will also be at CCXP the same day as Marvel to promote Free Guy and 6 Underground.)

I'd like some more info on What If, but other than that, I have no expectations.

[up] Yeah, maybe no expectations is the best route to take...

Even if it's easier said than done.

I'm kind of expecting some announcement about who will be playing Kamala/She-Hulk/Moon Knight or some sort of trailer or footage for Loki or Falcon and the Winter Soldier. We already got some great animation for What If?, so we might see a full trailer for that.

Other than that, I got nothing.

[up] Actually yeah, that sounds like something to expect. Can't believe I was so swept away about Ryan that I didn't consider that.

Now I know how Will Ferrell felt...

The She-Hulk casting is going to break the internet either way.
