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.

Having watched the MCU version of the team first, it was kind of surreal watching the Guardians appear in Earth's Mightiest Heroes and how different they were. Gamora and Drax are absent, Star-Lord's a pretty straight-forward leader, Adam Warlock and Quasar are on the team, and Rocket's got a Cockney-accent.

I remember there was a bit of controversy before the movie released about Rocket not having a Cockney accent.

Honestly apparently the training for his accent in A Star Is Born (2018) was nuts; they could've done Cockney if they wanted.

I do kind of miss the cockney Rocket accent, but the harsh Brooklyn accent Cooper goes for him works too. If they ever feature Blackjack O'hare in the MCU, they should give him the cockney drawl as a Mythology Gag.

Before it was a Cockney accent, not an imitation of Bradley Cooper's Brooklyn.

Ya know the funniest thing of the Guardians in EMH? Rocket respecting Quill. At a point in the episode Rocket basically goes to the Avengers "His name is the Star Lord, respect him!"

Unthinkable now considering he has barely any respect for Quill for the most part.

Ah, awkward phrasing. I was saying that Cooper could have probably done a good Cockney accent if the highers-up wanted it.

Honestly, either accent works for Rocket. Just so long as it's loud and gritty, it works for me.

Speaking of that A Star Is Born clip, I would love for anyone with a Southern accent to be in the MCU.

Galactus but he inexplicably sounds like a Deep South hick.

I mean, it's not much more of a departure than his last movie appearance...

Yes, how dare we forget Miss Minutes! I don't care if my Tara Strong bias is showing, everything character she becomes legendary.

Also, I really hope we get to see more of her and the TVA in other MCU stories. I don't want them dominating the story like they do in Loki, but it would be fun to see TVA minutemen and analysts pop up now and again. And more Miss Minutes jumpscares would be fun. Maybe have one of the heroes react in-universe to it.

Does Yondu not count as having a southern accent?

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

Not Marvel, but I've always liked the idea of Superman having a southern accent. I think the only media to ever try it out is Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

I can't believe I forgot Miss Minutes and Yondu. But yeah, what I meant was, I'd like for a main character to have a Southern accent.

Again, Yondu doesn't count? He's like the single most prominent supporting character across both Guardians movies outside of the main crew.

It's funny that people compare Goku to Superman, considering both should logically have hick accents.
