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.

Indeed. There's no tearing Spiderman away from Sony's grasp....unless you convince the to give up the film rights to keep the video game rights, cause their Spiderman Video games are pretty tight.
One Strip! One Strip!Homecoming had a really meaningful name in the meta sense, being about Spider-Man returning to the MCU.
In that sense, No Way Home also has a really meaningful name in the meta sense. Being about the fact that Sony and Marvel have irreconcilable differences and this whole "Spider-Man Homecoming" thing isn't working out.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Ooh, it hadn't quite sunk in that there's a deaf character on the team. Very nice.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Yeah, No Way Home being the end of the trilogy isn't necessarily any more the end of the character than, well, Iron Man 3 ending the trilogy being the end of that character.
Plus, it's not like Peter was even introduced in the trilogy so assuming it's the send off for the character seems quite premature.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Last I heard Marvel and Sony after the current deal runs out are going to be looking at films on a case by case basis.
So, could go either way.
There are a few MCU Spidey cross overs I'd still like to see. Spidey and Deadpool mostly, but also I like it when a veterine Spidey meets new fresh faced teen superheroes.
Spider-Man leaving the MCU seems to make sense. Not sure where they'll go from there, but we'll have to see.
The one question I have is: if Spider-Man does leave the MCU, what the hell is Venom gonna do? It seems unlikely the two of them will face off in No Way Home since Let There Be Carnage's mid-credit scene was a very last-minute addition. But if Spider-Man leaves the MCU for another universe later on, then literally what's the point of Venom coming to the MCU?
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."I'm going to keep bringing up the Disneyland ride because it makes no sense for Disney to focus so much of the Avengers Campus on Spidey if he was just going to be officially shuffled out of the MCU six months late.
That's not to mention the inevitable international shitstorm that happens when it does. Shit made headlines when they were just talking about it, it'll only be worse if Sony actually pulls the trigger.
Is anyone here worried that we're going to overload the What Could Have Been subsection on the Marvel Cinematic Universe page? I mean, we keep finding and adding more and more scrapped ideas from each movie / series on there, so it seems kinda inevitable...
"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."It is a little too big indeed.....
"An early draft of the script revealed Tony Stark to be the creator of Otto Octavius's tentacles from Spider-Man 2. "
So tony tendecy of being the origin of spiderman villians does really go back to the very star isnt?

It'd be funny if Doc Ock sees a picture of Tony and contemplates it before moving on as a fun little Mythology Gag.
That seems to make the most logical solution, although it would take time and effort to do so, and I dunno what the higher-up tropers would think of that.
Honestly, I kind of preferred the old method of putting all the What Could Have Been examples on each individual movie's Trivia section instead of cramming them all onto that one page concerning the entire franchise.

"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."Okay so here are the powers of the entire Eternals
Sersi: Matter transmutation of non-sentient objects
Ikaris: Flying brick with heat vision
Ajak: Healing hands
Phastos: The tech head, his resource being cosmic energy
Makkari: Super speed
Druig: Mind control
Thena: Energy weapon creation
Gilgamesh: Super strength and armoring himself with energy armor and gauntlets
Kingo: Blaster fire
Sprite: Illusions which includes invisibility
Pretty classy shit overall. Very Godlike, Thor should hang out with these guys.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
Hey Gorr does have targets. Presumably if Thor doesn't stop him he'll prolly go after the Eternals.
Huh I'm currently reading Kieron Gillen's Eternals book and interesting details. Thena has a habit of taking lovers among the Deviants, not all of them are mindless monsters there are sentient members. Wonder if thats gonna play into the movie.
They have this sentient AI thing connected to the Earth called the Machine, allows them to teleport and stuff. If the Machine is broken then the Earth is at risk of being destroyed.
There are a hundred Eternals to the point there are several cities or factions with an Eternal known as Zuras as the grand leader of the bunch or main group. Now of course the movie paired them down to just the 10 and Ajak is the leader instead of Zuras so interested if the Eternals are just the 10 or that there's more out there.
Also I just found out what is the story with the Titans Eternals. So they were originally a faction of Eternals known as the Llarsite lead by A'lars comprised of around 30% of the Eternals who seeked to expand their society, modify the Machine, and create more Eternals. So A'lars was allowed to establish a colony on Titan due to it being home of a lost colony of the Uranites, where he then took the name Mentor and wedded Sui-San. They were doing good, creating a bountiful society of Eternals called the Titans so successful that the Eternals on Earth started believing the Zurasian faction as too conservative.
........ Then Thanos was born and the rest is history.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Maybe our next Spider-Man movies will have better names.
They really overused the whole home name theme.
