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.

Well, I'm surprised Stan answered it for real, but that right there is a Mall Rats style question.
One Strip! One Strip!Never underestimate how much writers think about Power Perversion Potential. I remember one of the guys who worked on Steven Universe saying that all the porn he's seen is downright tame compared to some of the ideas thrown around in the writer's room.

Funnily enough, I recall a interview from a Mexican movie magazine were they ask him about fans' concern of Ben's lack of "eyebrows" in Fantastic Four and his response was that he never realized that Ben in the comics had eyebrows. He later says he's gotta check out those early comics to notice, but he never put particular attention to his eyebrows.

Re: Angel. One idea I had is making his wings Hard Light constructs that allow him to fly really fast and fire bolts of light.
Let's hope they don't search their own names on fanfic sites.
This is a bit late, but for wolverine just recast Dafne Keen as Laura (X-23) and just have her as the wolverine of the MCU. Fresh take and there's precedence in the comics (of course Logan never stays dead for long).

You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the midI've always said Wolverine should be Dafne Keen Laura and have the main movie be her looking for Logan to tease the audiences. Post-credits scene may be him showing up (or confirming he'll show up next film) and we get full-on Old Man Logan as a supporting character in the sequel.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Sorry to go off-topic for a moment... if anyone's interested, a new Self-Demonstrating Article if anyone wants to improve it.
SelfDemonstratingArticle.Agent Carter if you want to help.
Needs a lot more work, to be fair.

No, but she still played a fantastic Laura so what's to say she couldn't play another slightly different version well? MCU!JJJ (no relation to my username), while still demonstrably J Jonah Jameson is not the same as Raimi!J Jonah Jameson. They have some important differences, and yet I still would rather not have any other actor.

By the way, those earlier reports of most of the Guardians being spotted being directed by Waititi may not mean they all appear in the new Thor, as Taika was directing them for scenes for the Guardians Disney World ride.
I completely misread this at first and thought this was about Vision getting a robot dog in Wandavision

Considering that the movies are able to be a bit more risque than the comics, I wouldn't be surprised if they made some reference to it, maybe through one of Ben's gripes. "Oh, you're complaining about your love life? I'm made out of rocks, Johnny! How am I gonna get any action?!"
