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.

Now that I think about it, this is a reoccurring thing.
The most common complaint about Loki's show is that Loki himself was underpowered. That in particular appeared to notably annoy a good deal of people to the point there was some cheering when What If portrayed him very impressively in one episode.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I definatly expect the cliff hangers of the serieses to be ignored all together.
I'm not sure what plot you would do for a Daredevil Disney Plus mini series given that we've seen a lot of his usual plots already. Sure you have the larger MCU for him to play with but no ideas pop into my mind. Echo is probably a good shout, given that she traditionally believes he killed her mother (heck perhaps he did, accidently).
Heroes for Hire or Daughters of the Dragon on the other hand would feel pretty new, being street level team of do gooders, which something the MCU hasn't gone before and it would be allowed to have a lighter tone than netflix would have allowed.
In regards to the T'Challa discussion, I do think that the character was just getting started when Chadwick Boseman passed away, and it's truly a shame we lost such a great actor.
There's actually this one rapper I follow who is constantly going on about how T'Challa actually should be recasted instead retiring the character, as he argues that killing him off or otherwise not using him would be an insult to Chadwick's legacy instead of the other way around. There's a few people who agree with him too. Hearing his opinion vs. the opinions of those who support Disney's decision to retire T'Challa just makes me realize how much the character means to the African-American community, and how complicated the Black Panther film franchise will be going forward.
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."Yeah he's a pretty big deal.
He's a black character who actually has his own thing. Like he's not a legacy character cribbing on stuff established by a previous character, but everything about him is his own.
Thats big. Like Batman has Gotham, and Black Panther has Wakanda. He has a distinct mythology.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."It's not my lane but I always thought it makes more sense to recast the character and continue allowing the character to do the best he can for representation in the most sucsesful film franchise.
Am I right in thinking the black super hero has electricity powers stems from the influence of DC's black lightning?

There are arguments for retiring T'challa, and there are arguments for re-casting.
Neither situation is easy, and there are probably points for both.
One Strip! One Strip!Storm, bubblebee.
Weird.
Edit: Okay I'm rewatching Deadpool and I know it would make no sense for Collosus, Juganaught and Domino to make the transition to the MCU with him as you'd need an explanation for mutants to come with them, but gosh I love these versions of the characters.

As I noted a month and a half ago
, there are a bunch of other caveats in hand: the logistics, scheduling, and most importantly the tone, language, and graphic violence. The latter two things are probably the biggest deals, given the Netflix shows didn't shy away from showing blood and the characters also used a lot of cursing.
I don't know why people still think Deadpool 3 will be in thr MCU. Most probably they will do their own story in the smae world which ends with Deadpool (and maybe Vanessa) transported to the MCU, maybe a clone o variant transported to it while original Deadpool gets a happy ending with Vanessa in his world, or just the stinger showing him in the MCU without any explanation at all.
The whole Electric Black Guy cliche actually came about because Black Lightning had some weird legal issues surrounding him for a while, and as such a lot of writers or people making adaptations had to make expys whenever they wanted to use him, and it just snowballed from there.

Aside from Kevin Feige explicitly saying as such?
I imagine a lot of it has to do with the fact that Deadpool is just about the one character who you could have open his own movie explaining how it fits into the MCU, how it affects the cast and the previous two movies' plots, and not only have it work but actually be completely on-brand for the character.
I just want Deadpool to explain in the first announcement/teaser the situation about from pre-MCU Marvel movies up to the Fox buyout before saying "But the legal situation doesn't matter, as I was always here", followed by a montage of scenes from the previous MCU entries with Deadpool shoddily photoshoped in

Attachments are not the problem, Indifference is. Keelah se'laiThere'd have to be at least one joke of him gushing about how hot Chris Evans is.
I personally would have Deadpool 3 just go full throttle on the subject and have the plot be Mojo plucking Deadpool out of the Fox-Men-verse. Mojo, of course, here having a striking resemblance to Kevin Feige and constantly talking about 'BIG MULTIVERSAL CROSSOVERS.
Mojoworld is just Disneyworld with numbers filed off.

"All you Fascists bound to lose."

I think they won't really reference the Netflix Series, they'll probably go the Broad Strokes route.
