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.

Alliterator, I get that you love these shows. I love them too, but you just have to face facts, man. If the films treated the shows as canon they'd have had at least something akin to a newspaper talking about the Devil of Hell's Kitchen or a Jessica Jones advertisement stuck on a wall or even a Luke Cage graffiti. They didn't, because they don't want to.
Yes, I am sure and you should be too. The shows belong to Netflix, the characters belong to Marvel. Continuing the shows is impossible for either party because they're in a legal stalemate that could only be solved if Marvel purchased Netflix or somehow the shows themselves, neither of which is likely given they're direct rivals (or desirable, honestly, Disney is already too much of a juggernaut as is).
Disney can do a reboot using the old show in Broad Strokes but even that is doubtful (they'd essentially be promoting a rival company's show).
"All you Fascists bound to lose."The tv shows will most likely on a "it happened, but we'll likely never speak about these events in the movies"
And then there are things like the Inhumans that'd get blatantly ignored so they can use their stuff later on and pretend it's the first series.
Wonder how a new try with the Iron Fist would look.
Wake me up at your own risk.Man, the whole business with the Inhumans and Marvel trying to shill them as the next X-Men is just fascinating. The first flop of the MCU was a product made out of spite.
But hey, dunking on the Inhumans show was pretty funny back then.

"The Black Rage makes us strong, because we must resist its temptations every day of our lives or be forever damned!"You're just arguing in blatant bad faith now and not reading my posts at all (I literally addressed they could do a show in Broad Strokes and you just ignored it). I won't engage in this silly delusion.

I’d laugh my ass off if Carol went super saiyan 3 and got mega hair
Forever liveblogging the Avengersre: TV/Netflix shows: I want them to be if nothing else acknowledged in the movies as much as the next guy, but it's a futile endeavor at this point. I'm reluctantly with Gaon the matter. I wish circumstances didn't prompt me to feel that way, but here we are. Shame too, the shows at their best frankly outdo even the movies at their best.
