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.

[up] Reddit assumes it's a Halloween costume.

And anyone notice Wanda being pregnant?!

Looks like it might be a Halloween costume, which fits into the "suburban comedy" theme of the show.

There's also an image where she kind of looks like Roseanne.

I'm not going to take anything in that show at face value.

There's going to be so many Full House jokes with Elizabeth Olsen having been cast...

It would make sense for Billy's to float, but Tommy's?

Okay, they don't really float so much as they just pop up very suddenly.

It still never made sense to me for Tommy to have speed powers. Shoulda had vision powers.

Apparently the one shot we saw of Loki was him in a uniform that said "TVA".

Sleuths on Reddit deduce that it means Time Variance Authority. So...Time Police?

EDIT: Yup. TVA is pretty much Marvel time police. We're getting time police, folks!

There were so many Easter Eggs in this small snippet. Wanda going through the various eras of television sitcoms, Wanda's twins, US Agent, and Loki's jumpsuit saying "TVA" which is the Time Variance Authority. Time cops!
