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.

Oh, I know who they should bring in... the Asthma Monster
!
Not keen about Hate-Monger since it tends to lean on the notion that all hate and evil can be laid on one man rather than the society that enables him. Especially with his Hate-Ray and stuff like that.
Maybe Hate-Monger could be a modern cult politician leader who uses hate and violence to rise to power, but that would be an uncomfortable territory for Disney to do...

Hate-Monger is incredibly on-the-nose even putting aside the fact that he's literally literally Hitler. I was just joking around.
Treating the concept of "hate" as a corporeal form of energy that can be raygun'd into people is some Captain-Planet-esque nonsense. I could see certain aspects of him (like deliberately instigating race wars, or manipulating people's emotions in a more grounded way) folded into a different villain with an actual objective beyond "be evil", though.

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Man. If only hate could be used as an energy source. Considering how much their is in the real world, we solve every energy problem all at once.
Hate Monger would still be pretty evil dude though. Like, I'm sure he'd produce so much energy it'd go nuclear on us.
One Strip! One Strip!If emotions could be used as an energy source, I have it on good authority amusement is the one to go for.
Ignoring the villains for a second, who should Cap's supporting cast be? Just him and Bucky again would be a little too similar to The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in my opinion. Maybe two other characters to give us a quartet? Who would they be?
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."I wish they actually made Rhodey the Vice-President of the USA like they had once planned. If only because the idea of the VP suiting up in metal armor to go fight baddies is hilarious.

A Vice-President doing something? What madness is this?

We could bring in Hate-Monger.
