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.

There was a lot of goofus stuff inspired from the comics that I had fun recognizing.

We got a poster for Spider-Man: No Way Home! With the Tweet says: "The Multiverse unleashed."

[up] Oh, I agree! I'm just sounding the hype alarm. Because we've got a poster! And it actually looks pretty good and still ambiguous!

Good thing too.

I mean, it's supposed to be recognizable.

I mean, Spidey's like the grandad of Power Rangers in a way, it's only fair. [lol]

The Japanese Spider-Man predates and established most of the classic sentai tropes. Alien powers, giant robot, etc.

Was the insect based hero already a thing then?

I think Spider-Man inspired that, too. Hell, Japanese Spider-Man also rode a motorcycle!

Supaidaman - 1978
Super Sentai - 1975
Kamen Rider - 1971
Skull Man (original Kamen Rider pitch) - 1970

Supaidaman only inspired the giant robot fights.

Now I wish Disney had done a Marvel/Power Rangers crossover while they owned both properties.

Between Dafoe's Gobby and Molina's Doc, which one are you looking forward to see in action again more?

Maybe Jamie Foxx Electro will be better in this one.

I always have a soft spot for Electro.

[up] Green Goblin, no contest. Molina Ock is great, but William Dafoe Green Goblin is legendary.

At the very least he's not using his Ultimate look again so I'm very curious what his costume will be.

Yeah they unfortunately can't deviate too much from the Raimi Goblin costume because a lot of fans really love the Raimi Goblin costume and deviating too hard is gonna piss them off. Like Electro's gonna straight-up not be blue but nobody gives a shit because ASM2 sucked and no one cares.

Hoping that one concept art "leak" is legit.
