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 wonder if we'll see any specific members of the TVA, like Justice Peace.

Wanda's costume here is clearly a joke, though. It definitely looks too flimsy and cheap for something she'd wear in future installments from now on.

Son of a fuck. More time travel?

I mean. They gotta up the ante, right? Time travel should've meant time police eventually, right?

Actually, I got hit with some fridge brilliance not long ago. What if they use the TVA to establish Deadpool, who was last seen messing around with the timeline in his universe to save Vanessa and Peter?

Plus they eventually gotta introduce Kang.

I want the Time Variance Authority to show up in AOS, too, since they are dealing with time travel. Hell, since the Chronicoms are doing it, having the Agents team-up with the TVA makes the most sense.

Fun fact: a well-known (former) member of the Time Variance Authority is Professor Gamble, who is totally not the Doctor.

So kids kinda straight up imply time travel don't they? Comic-Book Time is kind of a harsh mistress, it's either timeskips or kids from the future to avoid that pesky growing up thing.

My theory with Wandavision is that Wanda accidentally broke the universe with her powers, creating an alternate pocket dimension with another Vision. Within this universe, she can freely manipulate reality, space, and time, albeit in sort of a semi-conscious dream state where it only sort of makes sense to her.

Also is she in The Brady Bunch home? That stairwell is too distinctive to not at least be a Shout-Out.

If we're getting reality-warping wackiness, I hope we get to see Quicksilver.

If Wanda and Vision's Brady Bunch home isn't real, then there's no reason death should be an obstacle to the twins' Uncle Pietro coming to visit.

It'd be pretty neat if they have an episode where he appears and he's treated like he's a special celebrity guest-star appearing on a sitcom. Like, Wanda opens the door and Pietro comes in to a huge audience applause.

Is it bad I kind of want it to be Fox Pietro to show how messed up the reality is?

I demand Grampa Ultron, who behaves exactly like Grampa Simpson but more megalomanical.

Tucker said he wanted Ultron as the guest star cranky uncle of the Wandavision sitcom world and I'm totally for that idea. I'm imagining this version is literally James Spader with a voice that occasionally gets a robotic filter.

Ultron will be simply called Ron as this is an alternative reality (aka Alt. Ron)

There was an Ultron in the comics who decided to not be such a dick and make up with Hank. He went by Mark, which was short for Ultron Mark 12

I wonder if that means one of the babies is a girl then.

There is a theory going around that instead of Wiccan and Speed, the twins will be Wiccan and Viv.
