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.

Oh. That's good. I think Lockjaw is the only Inhuman character everyone likes.
One Strip! One Strip!![]()
Last I checked, he was on board with the Inhuman cloud killing mutants because reasons.
Plus, he's not a cute giant teleporting puppy.
Edit: Plus he can't actually say hi, as
pointed out. He'd end up causing a cataclysm.

One Strip! One Strip!He'd still be using his vocal cords to make noise. He'd still be destroying shit.
You gotta remember that his actual power isn't just a really loud voice. He has the power to disturb electrons - he's basically a Reality Warper not unlike the Molecule Man - but that power is linked to the speech center of his brain.
Black Bolt over the course of his life learned to harness his Reality Warper powers so that he can do a lot more than just destroy shit by saying stuff. But he's never been able to not destroy shit by saying stuff.

Disgusted, but not surprisedHe's a dog who was experimented on by the Inhumans.
Specifically, his mother was experimented on as a puppy, then impregnated with her own cloned genetic material. Her litter of five was then exposed to Terrigen in the womb. Lockjaw was the only one who went through it successfully, and he unwittingly used his powers to teleport his unborn siblings around the world before appearing to be the only puppy born.
The Inhumans are kind of a fucked up society.

Disgusted, but not surprisedIt was once revealed that Lockjaw was an Inhuman so mutated by terrigenesis that he appeared like a dog. And was treated like a pet by the other Inhumans, wtf.
But it was then later retconned that this was a big lie that some of the Inhumans told Quicksilver to fuck with him.
Which, honestly, is the best way to retcon something.

She's getting a cartoon and is apparently a Phoenix candidate.
