I’ve been cycling through the MCU films in the break between shows on D+, and I’m currently at Civil War. I’m curious how you guys all feel about the film in hindsight. I’m honestly not loving it right now - it’s not terrible, but the last couple times I saw it, it didn’t click for me and it’s...

Thanks!

Follow up question - which titles had digital exclusives? I’ve got all my digital copies redeemed but haven’t watched any of them either.

For those who have listened to all the MCU commentaries, which are the can’t miss ones? Any to be avoided?

I’m an interview filled with good news, that might be the best. I’ve long had trouble getting into Marvel TV because there just seemed no stakes or urgency in watching it, because it had no impact on the MCU that attracted me to this iteration of Marvel in the first place. I look forward to...

It’s not going to break the MCU record, but Paramount’s “Wonder Boys” from 2000 has a high number of future tentpole stars: -Michael Douglas (Ant-Man) -Tobey Maguire (Spider-Man) -Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man) -Katie Holmes (Batman Begins) -Frances McDormand (Transformers)

Agreed. And the unexpected huge success of Venom might empower Pascal to urge Sony to end the partnership. Which I think would ultimately be a loss for all sides, especially the fans.

I think the big question with Sony and Spidey is how much actual clout Amy Pascal has, or how much of her position is just a title only. During interviews on the Homecoming press tour, Pascal made it seem that Sony was only interested in the terms of the deal that was already signed (which...

I didn’t actually do the movie theater one but I just watched them at home over the past month and a half. I was able to sneak them in because they were familiar enough already that it wasn’t a big deal that I couldn’t always give them my undivided attention. I think it’ll be fun to put all the...

Since everything is fair game in this thread, I just wanted to say how impressed I was at Endgame’s ability to wrap up or at least nod to just about every open thread in the MCU. Amazing how organic it all felt. It turns out that the mega MCU rewatch paid off more for Endgame than it did for...

I wonder if they're just doing it for fun or if there's something relevant there that they're trying to get into people's minds.

I appreciate the good intentions behind the posting, but this thread is for discussion only for Marvel films which have already been released, as per the rules in the first posts. Spoilers concerning unreleased Marvel films, or discussions about such spoilers, shouldn’t be posted here. The...

Now watching Thor Ragnarok. It’s a movie I only liked the first time I saw it, but now I love it more each time I see it. I’m at the part where Thor returns to Asgard and they’re doing the play of Loki’s “death” from Dark World. I love that the play’s choir is singing the score from that scene...

I’m five minutes into Doctor Strange and I’m already reminded of how much Michael Giacchino rips off from his own Star Trek scores here.

I'm not sure I completely agree that it works against the artistry of the films. I think the thing is, for almost every single Marvel film with switching ratios, the 2.40:1 versions have the best framing, IF you're watching on a screen where you can view the entire screen area at once. At home...

A random technical thought about the MCU as I’m going through my rewatch... I love the films for which were designed for and presented in Blu-Ray 3D with shifting aspect ratios: Guardians 1 and 2, Civil War, Doctor Strange, Thor Ragnarok, Black Panther and Ant-Man and the Wasp. I know it’s a...

I think part of the problem with the deaging in Captain Marvel is that they made Fury look like a younger Samuel L. Jackson, and that worked out pretty well. But with Coulson, it seems that they were making younger Coulson look slightly different than younger Clark Gregg actually looked, and I...

Works for me! Thanks guys!

I have a random question to which there’s probably no official answer: At the end of the WWII segment of Captain America: The First Avenger, we see Howard Stark’s submarine scoop up the Tesseract from the ocean floor. In the first Thor, we see Fury give the Tesseract to Dr. Selvig. The...

I'm in for more Howard Stark and Peggy Carter (and Jarvis, for that matter) anytime they want to do it! I'd love to see something like that on Disney+.

Iron Man 2, for me, commits one of those sequel sins that I really don't like: rather than pushing the returning characters forward, it forces them (and us, the audience) to go through almost the same journey as the first film. In the first film, Tony Stark is a selfish man who thinks only of...

The power scores didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me either. I think based on the overall ratings, they put Iron Man in a higher tier than Captain America, and I just don’t buy that. Nevermind that we’ve seen Captain America defeat Iron Man in combat - Steve Rogers is inherently powerful and...

But those cases won’t say “3D” and that’ll set off a different set of petty neurosis. :D My wife has the deluxe set for Phase One - Fury’s briefcase with the Tesseract. As far as box o’junk editions go, it’s pretty cool. Guardians 2 should come either on, inside or with a Zune.

I’ve been doing some very early spring cleaning and reorganizing these past couple weeks and as part of that, I decided there were enough Marvel movies now to justify having their own shelf, instead of being mixed in alphabetically. I know I shouldn’t care, but I’m slightly annoyed that they...

I think there's also this potential factor: In "Captain Marvel," Carol doesn't really remember who she is or know a lot about the universe around her -- but she's familiar enough with the Kree, and knows who Ronan is, just as a starting point. She leaves Earth around 1995. In the time that...

We've seen, through the example of Wanda/Scarlet Witch, that people who derive their powers from an encounter/infusion with an Infinity Stone, have great power. Thanos is able to wield the stones, but none of that power is inherent to him; take them away from him, and he has no power (other...

According to what the Marvel people confirmed, half of all life in all the universe vanished everywhere - so by definition, that’s half of everyone that’s living wherever Carol is.

You gotta figure that if half of all life in the universe vanished, that has to include people Carol knows at wherever she was coming from, and that would be a pretty unnerving experience. She might even know that you’d need the Infinity Stones to do that, and if so, maybe by this point she...

Chronological order would be something like (and keep in mind, this isn’t perfect because of overlap between films, post credits scenes taking place in different time periods, story flashbacks, etc) 1. Captain America: The First Avenger 2. Captain Marvel 3. Iron Man 4. Iron Man 2 5. The...
