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.

Infinity War could be a great opportunity to move Cosmo into his position, now that I think about it. We know he's been in the Collector's vaults up until he was released by the Power Gem explosion in Guardians 1.
Cosmo could totally seize the opportunity, in the wake of Thanos's attack on Knowhere, to create a security team for the station so nothing like this ever happens again.

Psychic talking dog, all devouring alien that looks like a cat
That’s a great premise
Forever liveblogging the AvengersSo, watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and reminded of Ego's description of his evil plan.
If we're still assuming he really is a Celestial (which tracks, considering his evil plan bears quite a few similarities to how Celestials are born) I have to ask: did Mantis ever say where she came from?
Because if he's an Celestial, then she could easily be an Eternal in the MCU.
One Strip! One Strip!Allegedly, Ego found her and kept her as a pet.
Then again, allegedly, the Eternals are heroes from planet Olympia sent to battle Deviants across the universe.

Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.PSA: If anyone's wondering why Shuri and T'Challa are trending on their Twitter (assuming their Twitters are doing that), apparently it's because some fake news website called Giant Freaking Robot dropped a "scoop" saying that Letitia Wright was ditching the MCU because she didn't want to take the COVID vaccine.
Unless other presses start talking about it, just ignore it and carry on.

A quick glance at the Marvel wiki and it turns out Mantis's love interest in the comics is... Jacques Duquesne, who in the MCU is currently Kate Bishop's mother's Ambiguously Evil fiancé. The idea of any writer taking the MCU versions of those two characters and somehow contriving to pair them up would be hilarious.
Also Mantis's other love interest is a sentient alien plant possessing Jacques Duquesne's corpse???
Based on this art
, I am guessing that Thor is supposed to get a new Mjolnir during Love and Thunder, or that the Mjolnir that Hela destroyed in Ragnarok gets repaired (more likely the latter given the cracks on Mjolnir). Because let's be honest, Stormbreaker is a nice weapon, but Mjolnir is the superior weapon because it has the worthiness enchantment...

Okey Dokey!![]()
Comics are weird.
Hmm. I dunno how I feel about a replacement Mjolnir. I was okay with a new Captain America shield for Sam, but I'm not sure what Thor getting Mjolnir again is gonna accomplish.
Unless it's a hammer for Jane...

"I'm Mr. Blue, woah-woah-ooh..."Mjolnir is great and iconic but Stormbreaker just has so many more features
And bear in mind, Mjolnir didn’t have the worthiness enchantment originally. That was something Odin added. So Thor could find that spell and add it on. Whosever be Thor if they be Thor shall possess the power of Thor
