MCU/Superhero Discussion Thread

[Vassenor]

We have a joint thread so we can abandon this one

Because this is for the MCU in particular whereas the other thread covers Marvel stuff in general.

[HC Eredivisie]

Which will not be confusing at all.

Could they not have made someone else the OP of this one? That way someone could change the name and make new polls etc Im near certain ive seen something like that done.

[HC Eredivisie]

They can if someone wants to be the new OP and asks nicely.

[Ameriganastan]

Critics seem into What If...?

Critics also liked Falcon And Winter Soldier, and that show was a slog. Hence I don't put much merit into their opinions.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Im looking forward to the Captain Carter one the most, it looks cool.

[Lord Dominator]

Only if the current OP is alright with it I believe - and the one here is CTE

Nah, the new thing was absolutely intended to include the MCU and replace this one

Yup

I specifically asked about that and they said "go make a new one":

I think the best solution is a new OP (whether mod written or via deleting CTE'd nations's posts) or a call for an OP and then a lock to a direction to a new thread, with an active OP. There is clearly a disagreement about what this thread is meant to talk about. There was in December (with vague references to a former poll result) and there is now.

I've nudged that the thread should be focused on the MCU. If someone wants to make an MCU vs DCEU thread, or a DCEU thread, they're more than welcome to. I don't think the dead op nation detracts from the topic - it's more that some players have taken to using the thread for things outside of its intended scope.

As far as I know, they'd have to delete posts to give a new OP, not sure, though.

Anyway, Lord Dominator's active and made the other thread, so we might as well just use that if what we really want is all superhero (or, at least, all DC and Marvel superhero) media in the one thread. We can have polls again!

[Ameriganastan]

Alright, now that's what I like. Dumb, comic book fun. No hamfisted political messages like in FAWS or endless exposition like in Loki. Just...fun. I like this show already.

[Tringapore]

Really excited to see Captain Carter in the first episode of What If?!

Really enjoyed the retro comic vibes it gave!

I somehow thought for a moment that the monster with tentacles was actually Cthulu, lol

[Tarsonis]

well this is the most terrible, bullshit, unrealistic universe Marvel ever created.

a MK2 hand grenade, absolutely would not destroy a Panzer III like that.


... The rest was pretty cool though.

Also, Jeffery Wright should narrate everything forever.

[Xmara]

What If is such a fun show. A nice little break from the regular MCU timeline. Looking forward to next week's episode!

Anyone know if that tentacle monster that Peggy fought is that creature that's rumored to be appearing in DSMoM? Probably a stupid question, but just curious.

You mean you actually like something? I'm shocked.

[Ameriganastan]

I like plenty of things.

[Pasong Tirad]

That was fun. Way too rushed for my taste though. Really felt like they wanted to hit every beat in The First Avenger in just 30 minutes.

Still, the action was fun and the animation was really cool. I don't really hate anything so I have nothing critical to say on the matter, except that Bradley Whitford's voice acting as asshole general whatshisname is phenomenal.

He dialed the Josh Lyman up to 11.

Captain Carter was great. I'd pay for 2 hours of it

Bradley Whitford is just great at playing asshole characters in general. He really does get typecast as those, but he does it well.

If you mean Shuma-Gorath, he’s much higher on the threat scale than a supersoldier, so presumably not

That’s what I meant. Okay, thanks.

I just wondered since Captain Carter is rumored to appear in DSMoM.

Possible spoilers for AoS

I've heard people suggest it was supposed to be Hive, who is apparently important to Hydra.
Don't know myself, I haven't watched it.

That season was years ago. TLDW Hydra worshipped an Octopus Alien through a portal and The Alien possessed the head of Hydra Grant Ward before being killed by Coulson and the Gang

Definitely not Hive.

And guys, we have the new combined thread so we don't have to worry about what is and isn't MCU...

[Ameriganastan]

Yeah, and I hate it. This thread was fine. I'm staying right here. We didn't need a copy thread just because you people are obsessed with polls.

People like polls dude.
