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.

Lateral move.
And Cap likes anyone that punched Nazis with him on the Invaders. And in fairness. IN FAIRNESS. That's a good thing to bond over.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersThe (original) Human Torch was a far more worthy ally than Namor.
He burned Hitler alive. True story.

Juggernaut was a hero when he and Jen hooked up. It isn't like she slept with the Red Skull. Though I'd argue it is objectionable on the grounds of him being her client at the time.
These days, Juggernaut is arguably less shady than his brother.
And yes, it's basically a pretty straightforward, "Reed would rather be with test tubes than his wife. Namor would rather be with his girlfriend punching Cthulhu."
So why doesn't Marvel just have her divorce the guy?
There was also an X-Factor/Fantastic Four crossover where Doom trapped her in a dream machine where she had a fantasy about Namor. Believe it or not, this wasn't done out of malice but to protect Sue from a Dr Doom from another universe who was impersonating Reed.
Superhero comics, man.

They're the First Family tm
There's no hecking way that Sue and Reed are going to get divorced. They're like the one couple that's immune to splitting up.
And a wrinkle on the Juggernaut thing is that apparently it was an alt Jen playing tourist who hooked up with him and said Jen was dating Juggernaut in her home reality. Comic books!

Forever liveblogging the AvengersMedium? You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
"Frowning upon a medium" is like people who are snobs about watching cartoons, I don't know of anyone who thinks live-action movies/tv shows are inherently terrible, and that wouldn't have anything specifically to do with the MCU.

Dan Slott notably hated the idea Jennifer would sleep with the Juggernaut because he had very particular ideas about Jennifer being an Ethical Slut, particularly basically around the idea, "If you have tried to murder her cousin then she would never do it, which Cain Marko absolutely has on multiple occassions."
So he retconned it as a alternate universe Jenn.
Notably, this was apparently a Berserk Button for him and other writers tweeked him in their books.

Writers being Armed with Canon and retconning previous stuff they don't like is another reason I stopped reading comics.

I sincerely question her taste in men then because Namor is in no way an improvement from Reed.
There’s the barrel and there’s digging under it to the center of the Earth. Namor is at the core.
Ah Namor ya professional shit bag, always fan ragging on ya.
Hell even Doom likes to rag on Namor because he’s an idiot like during the Incursions.
