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.

Brie Larson could put out a forest fire and the headline from certain sites would go “Brie Larson wastes water at incredible rate, makes it all about her.”

What's so special about page toping ?

I see posts like this all the time so I'm curious if I've missed something.

You can pretty much dismiss any negative rumor regarding Brie Larson or Captain Marvel out of hand unless it's directly coming from a highly reputable source (ie Hollywood Reporter, Variety, or someone with obvious inside knowledge from actually working on the inside at Marvel).

The only crime Carol committed (in the MCU of course) was being without question the least charismatic Marvel frontliner to date.

Angelina Jolie may or may not be toplining Eternals.

Jane Foster may or may not be the lead of Thor 4.

Okay just checked, no new solo female headliners at least movie-wise.

Not counting Jane since shes already an existing character so the closest new star aside from potentially Eternals would be....... fuck Sue Storm for Fantastic Four.

The only female-led MCU stuff would be the Ms.Marvel show. At least in the foreseeable future. But not exactly a good image.

I don't know why I'm struggling of female heroes who could headline their own movie.

Only one I can think of is Storm.
