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.

...You know release dates tend not to be the same everywhere, right? Even for the MCU — even Endgame came out in many markets two days before the US premiere date. At least they kept it within a few days [laughs in Dune (2021) rollout]

I know it's normal, but that doesn't make it any less dumb. Especially for movies like these where they're going to be a very popular topic, and a lot of people would really like to avoid spoilers.

I don't think the response should be to rag on the theater industry in response to shitty fans. Especially that of another country. Endgame was super hyped and did not elicit that sort of reaction.

If you think it'll be so bad, there are ways to avoid spoilers? Block words on Twitter, don't look on Reddit, maybe stay off Facebook. It's not that hard.

The cast of No Way Home is reacting to a new trailer... one that we'll get to see tomorrow, apparently.

Is it just me, or does Jason Batalon look even more like he ought to be Hobgoblin now?

Kind of insane how much weight Jacob Batalon ever since his first appearance.

I've also been considering what it would be like if Ned became the Hobgoblin. I don't know much about the comic character, but something really bad must have to happen in that film if that were to happen. The big question is whether Ned would take up the mantle by choice, or if he's forced into villainy somehow. Maybe Norman's goblin serum?

Also, did anyone hear the mentioning of a "gator"?

Btw, do you think Hawkeye deserves its own discussion forum or will we be discussing it here? I'm bringing it up because early reactions have come out. Opinions seem to be more or less positive regarding the series with most of the praise being on Hailee Steinfeld for her portrayal of Kate Bishop.

Why would that stop it from having it's own discussion thread? Inhumans has it's own thread doesn't it?

Would imagine it will get a dedicated thread in the TV section. Not sure if there's an official spoiler policy for discussing it here as well.

[up][up]Nah, It has nothing to do with the early reactions. I just saw the article and wanted to bring it into discussion and I then got curious as to whether we are going to discuss Hawkeye here or on a seperate forum.

I've started up a thread as we have actual episode impressions/reviews coming out. We'll see what happens.

Did we get a timeframe for when the new trailer comes out? Usually it's already out by the time I wake up in the morning.

5PM PT, 8PM ET.

The Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer will be launching exclusively at the Regal Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles on Tuesday, November 16 at 5:00pm Pacific/8:00pm Eastern. Those in the UK may want to set their alarms if they want to stay up for all the gossip: that’s an ungodly 1am GMT on Wednesday, November 17.
