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.

Bring up a topic or something.

Like anyone think Gamora and Adam Warlock will be a thing in Guardians 3?

Eh. Quill will survive.

Plus, he's got other things to worry about. At least meta wise.

This won’t be a problem once the movies introduce his backup love interest: Richard Rider

It’s fairly amusing especially since the movies started they have somewhat sanded off that part of Gamora’s character. To the point in the Guardians game when Adam does make an appearance Gamora has absolutely no familiarity or attraction to him, even disliking him in the same general way as the rest of the team meaning the game completely cut out any connection between the 2.

That’s an interesting detail, Adam is Gamora’s original romantic relationship. Her relationship with Quill is strictly a movie creation as even in the original Guardians run Gamora’s other major romance was with Nova. There Quill was basically just her boss and they didn’t have a particularly close bond or anything spending the entire run without sharing any notable interactions.

Dem's the breaks when you're a lonely Misery Sink, not allowed to actually have anything in your life because your secret identity constantly interferes.

It's funny, Bruce Banner is a Misery Sink too but he currently doing rather well in the MCU.

I was wondering if there is another universe besides The Sacred Timeline and Multiverse.

By definition, a multiverse contains multiple universes (see everything in What If).

I really, really hope that Guardians 3 isn't just some bullshit Love Triangle between Quill, Gamora and Adam Warlock. I'm pretty damn tired of the Quill-Gamora romance arc, and I feel like introducing a third party for needless drama will only make things more annoying and predictable.

I want Guardians 3 to have a love triangle between Quil, Gamora, and Adam, but as a joke, and for it to be completely sidelined by the genuinely beautiful and touching romance between Rocket and Lylla.

Why?

Is it any weirder than Quill and Gamora, who aren’t even remotely the same species?

Plus varying degrees of sentience. Quill massively punched up somehow there.

I believe Rocket and Lylla are equals in intelligence.

[up][up] A human and an alien that looks like a human being a couple is significantly less weird than two non-related animals that look nothing like each other.
