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.

I really hope that after seeing Scott and Hope help save the world with the Avengers, Hank is willing to become more open with working with other heroes. Plus, with Janet there to rein in his worst impulses, the two of them could start to change the world together again.

Maybe they won't rejoin S.H.I.E.L.D, but maybe Hank'll outsource more of his tech than he has in the past.

Eh. After seeing what Pym Particles can really do, I'd actually say Endgame proved him more right than anything about sharing his technote . Maybe letting Scott and Janet use his tech use it for the general good rather than just to deal with his own problems (as he himself once did in the past) but honestly, I would expect him to hold his technology even closer to his chest, and honestly rightfully so.

Well we are also getting Armor Wars which the basic plot of that is making sure the world doesn’t have wide-access to Tony’s technology.

What makes that even better is thats literally Ultron 2.0

So not only would Tony fuck up again but he created the exact same problem again from beyond the grave somehow.

Bonus points if the AI is Dum-E, the personal assistant robot from Tony's movies who regularly misunderstood his intentions.

Also, don't miss Spider-Man 4: On his deathbed, the crime lord Silvermane intended to purchase a particular plot of land to be buried in because he liked the view from that area. However, Tony Stark's corpse beat him to that grave first. So he had himself made into a cyborg, extending his lifespan long enough to achieve revenge! Against Spider-Man for some reason!

Consecutively. Bloodsport style.

An open invite was sent out across the world. "If you have a grievance with Tony Stark, enter this tournament for your chance to take the man down." Lots of familiar faces like Mysterio or Whiplash plus some unexpected attendees like Arnim Zola, Hank Pym, and Loki.

It was all fun and games until Thanos arrived.

To be fair, comics Tony does murder the hell out of his enemies most of the time. Just look at all those numbers in the character page. [lol]

[up][up] Why Zola though? All the others make sense, but I don't think Zola really has it out for Tony in any way. Howard and Maria sure, but Tony?

Zola's algorithm listed Tony as one of its targets. Zola wants Tony dead; it just isn't personal for him.

[up] Yeah, I'm gonna call bullshit on that. Considering her very public spreading of anti-vax and transphobic content online shortly before nuking all her socials, this seems more like an attempt to save face if anything.

Also, notice how she didn't ever say anything among the lines of "I got vaccinated, please do so if you're not."

Concerning 70s Avengers, I totally forgot you could have Captain Mar'vell on the team, which would be a great fit.

I'm quite curious as to what this series is going to be about. We know nothing about it so far.

But I am excited to see Fury and Talos as two of the main characters...

I've heard Linda's played some pretty cool roles over the years. Though sadly I have yet to check out Gravity Falls.

Also, they're really dropping two episodes for the debut?? Is the first episode only 20 minutes like WandaVision or something? Because that's a lot for only six episodes total...

They're theming this hard around the holidays and have The Book of Boba Fett lined up on Dec. 29.

Also, this trailer release was met with some apathy so it makes sense they'd want to give it to us good straight out of the gate.

This is what it'll look like ish:

  • Nov 24 (Thanksgiving Week): Hawkeye 1 & 2
  • Dec 1: Hawkeye 3
  • Dec 8: Hawkeye 4
  • Dec 15: Hawkeye 5
  • Dec 22 (Christmas Week): Hawkeye 6
  • Dec 29: Boba Fett 1

Letitia Wright Denies Reports of Pushing Anti-Vax Agenda on Set of Wakanda Forever.

Letitia Wright has denied claims that she is pushing an anti-vaccine agenda on the set of Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

“It saddens me to have to address the reports published by The Hollywood Reporter on October 6th 2021. The report spoke about my conduct on the set of black Panther 2. I honestly assert that this was completely untrue,” Wright wrote on Instagram. “Anyone who knows me or has worked with me, knows that I work incredibly hard at my craft & my main focus is always to do work that’s impactful and inspiring. That has been & will continue to be my only focus.”

[up][up] Well, that does seem to work overall, so I guess I'm cool with that.

Kinda curious about Boba Fett, since we haven't seen too much promotional material for it. Fett feels like the Arthur Morgan to Din Djarin's John Marston.
