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 see it tomorrow. My body is ready.

My mind, not so much.

My soul, definitely not.

My liver? Well...we'll see.

...This is a terrible page topper.

It seems like a number of regular MCU thread tropers aren't going to be able to watch this film until it goes to D+, so we're going to have to be super careful about spoilers for the long haul guys, gals and pals.

I think it's fair to say that all spoilers should be kept in the No Way Home thread for as long as possible.

Yeah this I just tempting the inevitably of something mentioning a spoiler and someone accidentally clicking on it out of reflex.

Aye, it's better just to keep the spoilers over in the thread at least until we start discussing Multiverse of Madness in depth.

I avoided the spoilers...but that's more because I just have zero interest in seeing the movie.

I dunno, for some reason the MCU Spidey movies never really caught my interest. Maybe it's because as far as I'm concerned, there's no topping the Nineties animated series.

I spoiled myself deliberately, because I don't have especially strong-enough feelings about his MCU incarnation's movies either way to bother holding off.

About to head to see No Way Home.

It's fricking cold outside, but this is still happening.

Hopefully after the movie is done, I can find my way home.

Netflix, yeah. Sony made a deal to get the Spider-Man movies on D+ eventually but the current ones gotta sit in Netflix jail due to pre-existing contracts. So NWH is probably not gonna be on D+ for like a couple years, unfortunately.

Huh just now a thought, you think they’ll give John Walker a hard light shield?

I don’t think they can just make another vibranium shield and the sci-fi hard light one is a common replacement after losing the original.

It got destroyed. It was made from cheap metal especially compared to vibranium.

I think it will all depend on who he partners up with here. I feel like a vibranium shield would be pretty messed up considering his history with Wakanda, so that is what I want.

What's Walker's history with Wakanda? I know he fought some Wakandans once, but I don't think that's enough to make them enemies forever.

To be fair, I think you need to be more than just "not enemies" to be able to get a Vibranium shield from Wakandamart. I don't think he's endeared himself to anyone in the setting, even the lady who recruited him I think views him as a sucker.

Whoever Valentina is working for will cook up an adamantium shield for Walker.

[up][up]Yea, the only history I can think of is a scuffle that was just a glorified pissing contest.

Though if he does get a physical shield I'm assuming it'll be only part Vibranium. With the explination being they managed to scrape some together from past incidents.

[up][up]Well, Hawkeye recently revealed that Val is potentially working with the Kingpin, so he could possibly procure some black-market Vibranium for US Agent.
