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.

For the books I read, that's basically right.
For clarification - Fury Jr is a different character that took over Fury's job and is very similar to the MCU one. A Decomposite Character, I suppose. Also, Loki was a member of the Young Avengers but did so in his kid and teen forms and left at the end of their last book.
And when everyone is an Avenger...
oddly the planet is no more safe than before.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersLike, how hard is it to just come up with new names and reasons for your superteam besides "Oh, the name "Avenger" guarantees a 2 percent increase in sales!" This is why nothing new happens in comics. It's easier just to bring old stuff back, or glue new stuff to the old stuff.
My various fanfics.It does make more sense for the Avengers to be big if they're going to be The planet saving team.
And it does make sense that they'd be subdivided into teams because otherwise a huge roster always gets too unwieldy and then Henry Gyrich slimes his way up and starts whining at you.
And I'll decided to believe that they're all not mostly spotted in New York.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersWell, in-universe at least there are kind of excuses. The current "new" team stemmed from a storyline that can be effectively summed up as "Dammit, we need more Avengers." The current Mighty Avengers were named that because social media just sort of decided that a team lead by Luke Cage were obviously Avengers.
Plus it kind of builds up. For example, two Avengers teams formed out of Civil War and the YA out of disassembled and they just sort of stuck.
Very. They've been unable to make Defenders or Heroes for Hire stick since their original incarnations in the 70's, and their other attempts like the Champions and the Marvel Knights completely bombed. Thunderbolts is really their only success story.
I only wish there was space for some manner of academy for avengers
Forever liveblogging the AvengersHonestly, I think the best way to sidestep all this bullshit in the MCU would be to just use Miles Morales instead.
Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.![]()
You could say he... lives on the edge... fighting crime... spinning webs...

I've got fanfics for Frozen, Spectacular Spider-Man, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro the Dragon.That was a good show and I'll never forgive Sony and/or Marvel or satan for not giving it more seasons.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersWasn't one of the leaked emails about Sony planning an animated Spider-Man movie? And doesn't Sony have the rights to Spectacular?

Someone wanted a list of the current Avengers teams in the main comics a few days ago to check how the movies affect the comics? I finally remembered it and made a list of some of the teams(there are more)and bolded the ones that are or are going to be in the MCU.
The Guardians are the same as in the movie with temporary Avengers members hanging out for a month or two.
Avengers:
New/Multiversal Avengers:
Secret Avengers:
Young Avengers:
Mighty Avengers:
Might not be 100% accurate since I don't read the team books myself.
