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.

Say what you will about the rest of the movie (and what happens right after this scene as well), undead horse riding alongside motorcycle is a good image -

Well, if they wanted that there's always Rocket Racer and/or Night Thrasher.

In the comics, has a Ghost Rider ever taken the Silver Surfer's board for a ride?

Yes, Robbie did for a hot second

He fell off a short time later because Norrin can still control his board with his mind but for that moment Robbie was album cover cool

Which is the truest accomplishment to aspire to

So, considering that both a horse and a mammoth are rides of past Ghost Riders, does it mean that they can convert any animal in their ride at all, or it has to be established in the contract?

Mephisto: So, what's gonna be your ride?

Blaze: *Thinking how to outsmart the devil* You, you're my ride.

Mephisto:...

Blaze: ... ok, that came out wrong.

When Johnny Blaze King of Hell Ghost Rider kidnapped Mephisto and was dragging him around in chains, Mephisto asked him whether it was a kink thing and implied he was down to clown
