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.

[up][up]I think you're taking a joke a bit too seriously...

I insist that Fury got to Steve's apartment by Sticky Jumper. When he escaped the car he took all his Demoman equipment with him.

I assume Fury walked in through a back door in the apartment complex and then picked the lock.

The answer is he used The Force.

Or maybe whatever was in that glowing briefcase.

Diamonds. The script said diamonds were in the briefcase.

Inside the briefcase was a smaller Nick Fury with his own small briefcase, and inside that...

The simple answer is that Fury has a key to all of the Avenger's homes.

Even Thor's castle on Asgard? And Hawkeye's farm?

Yes.

He even has the keys to the Milano.

Which is weird, because the Milano doesn't actually have keys, so to speak.

He's secretly Gordon Freeman.

What for? There are enough other characters which I want to know more about first.

Too bad. Would have wanted to hear Quill say, "Heh heh, your name is Dick Rider."

Would have been cool to see Nathan Filion as Richard Rider.

I never understood why he was such a popular choice for the role. He's way too old for the part unless they were going to make him like the mentor to the new Nova or something.

'Cause he's cool. Nathan Filion is really fucking cool.

I guess they could get one of the Supernatural brothers.

The one without the stubble, maybe?

I'm not a whedonite so I guess I'll take your word on that. I liked him enough in Castle I guess.

I don't think they plan on using Dick Rider anyway anytime soon.

Neither Jensen nor Jared look or have the personality fit for the part. Maybe Jensen (the one with stubble) more, but I doubt it.
