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.

They should adapt Doc Sampson and then use the excuse of adaptation to make him a good therapist

We all know who had the weirdest cameo in that scene.

(Did Sam Ramii work on Hercules or Xena or something? Lot of alum bouncing around his films. Apparently, his brother had a recurring role?).

As for Maguire and Garfield Spider-Man, this might be the last time we see them on the big screen since they could die while fighting their old foes. Or if they live, we could see them again in a future film.

Whoa, just occurred to me that meme with the three Spider-Man meeting each other will potentially become an Ascended Meme.

Also, this film needs a gag where J.J. Jameson sees all the Spider-Man and just has a heart attack from the sight.

So, taking bets. What's the big cliffhanger ending gonna be? I'm betting on Peter reversing the spell, but ends up trapped in another universe with no way to get back home. And it's the one with Venom.

Because that means if the Sony/Marvel deal breaks down, the fan reaction will be hilarious. evil grin

Spider-Man still has one more MCU movie appearance after this before they have to renegotiate again, right?

If they’re adapting memes I say adapt the one where Miles Morales crosses over and discovers MJ is Zendaya’s Variant.

[up][up][up] Yeah, one more appearance in a non-Spidey movie. Which begs the question, do we have any thoughts on what that non-Spidey movie could be? For some reason I'm thinking it's either Multiverse of Madness (because multiverse and also Sam Raimi) or Fantastic Four (because Jon Watts and also there was that one time Peter tried to be a member of the F4 or something. I know it was a signature issue in an F4 comic).

It could be anything, since Marvel seems a lot more happy with sticking characters into other characters' movies now. He could be returning the favor with Dr. Strange, he could be in Fantastic 4, hell they could have him show up in The Marvels as Kamala's nerdy superheroing buddy or something.

I heard they considered putting him in the finale to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but I'm not sure how that would've worked out.

Speaking of Kamala, does anyone else expect she’ll get added into the seemingly inevitable Young Avengers movie/series, given the remaining Champions are nowhere to be seen, and fairly unlikely to appear in the near future?

Also, I keep seeing people all over the internet saying No Way Home is adapting One More Day, which was selling Peter’s marriage to Mephisto for Aunt May’s life, when One Moment in Time exists and was literally Dr Strange using a spell to make everyone forget Peter’s identity. I know One More Day is better known (and did retcon out the secret identity thing), but come on
