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.

Just wait for a Mephisto gag where he shows up and does nothing sinister but is like "Yeah,I'm the devil practically,and?"

"I am the Prince of Darkness and the Father of Lies, but what do people call me up for? Not power or fame, no, divorce. Just get a lawyer for that, and no, I am not doing the tired joke."- Mephisto, probably.

The only problem is that Mephisto could call for a mistrial due to romantic history between him and Matt

If there's anything I want to see Matt Murdock do, it's trying to defend someone put on the stand by the TVA. That would be one hell of a legal battle.

The ideal court case would be Arishem as the Judge, a alternate version of Ronan the Accuser as the prosecutor, and Matt Murdock as the lawyer.

Great now Evangine Lilly can join Letitia Wright on the glorious and not at all very stupid anti-vax train...

In short she was at the recent Anti-Vax protest in DC.

Way back when the pandemic started she complained about quarantines but backtracked after criticism. Guess she didn’t change much at all though.

You didn't like Hope?

....was it the way she treated Scott (like getting him arrested, or only talking to him when he said they could help them find Janet)?

[up] He doesn't like that Hope was created to effectively replace Janet as Wasp I think.

[up][up] More or less that.

I just prefer Janet as a character over Hope especially since Hope's relationship with Scott is a pretty generic "Man & Woman Bicker a Shit Ton" dynamic.

Hope was primarily created because due to the shift to Scott as the main Ant-Man with Hank turned into an old-man they wound taking Janet out of play since she's Hank's partner while Scott never had his own Wasp.

So they had to create a new character to fill in for Wasp.

Oh, come on! Really?!

Okay, I can understand that taking a prototype vaccine sounds super-dodgy on paper because it makes us feel like guinea pigs and you'd rather wait for like a definitive vaccine and not some prototype of one that might end up killing you anyway, but come on!

I hate COVID. I hate how it's dividing us. It's just not fair. sad
