Multiple episodes released simultaneously?

How about:

Marvel Universe: Infinite Chrises

Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.

Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted.

Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks.

Also, when the mod creates the thread, as a first post, maybe a listing of all MCU productions, which can be edited and kept up to date?

• Iron Man, 2008
• The Incredible Hulk (Ed Norton), 2008
• Iron Man 2, 2010
• Thor, 2011
• Captain America: The First Avenger, 2011
• The Avengers, 2012
• Iron Man 3, 2013
• Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., 2013–present
• Thor: The Dark World, 2013
• Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 2014
• Guardians of the Galaxy, 2014
• Marvel's Agent Carter, 2015–???
• Marvel’s Daredevil (Netflix), 2015–???
• Avengers: Age of Ultron, 2015
• Ant-Man, 2015

That sounds like a good idea

I like both of Tom's posts.

Do we need to mention comics, particularly regarding spoilers? They weren't (and to my mind shouldn't be) part of the original proposal, but there was some talk above about comics' spoilers creeping into the thread.

They were a part of the proposal, though. People who were talking in the voting thread seemed to be people who did not read the comics and were afraid of spoilers, so the policy that was voted on (which I am not sure is the right one) was that people should whitefont things from the comics that haven't yet taken place on the show.

And that's the part I want us to hammer out, because a: it's pointless if it's just that one thread, as I know some of us talk about comics at random in random places; and b: the notion of spoilerfonting for things that in some cases came out decades ago is just ridiculous to me.

Especially when some of them were in the mainstream press at the time.

And some just sucked and should be complained about often.

And none of them will happen on screen the way they did in the books.

I think it needs to go up and be opened as is and a new proposal opened on spoiler policy in general. However, I don't have time to shepherd that proposal. And I don't know if that would be against the rule we made about not voting on the same thing for a certain amount of time after the vote.

Also, I swear there is a How to voting page that I wrote somewhere on our site, but it doesn't seem to be linked anywhere. I get nervous being the original proposer, and I can't even remember the rules right anymore.

Also, I the intention of the comic spoiler policy was really hard to word (and probably harder since I don't do comics). I think what people want white fonted is the stuff that has to do with the current story. So, for example, I am not finished with Daredevil and I have never read the comics. What I would not want is IF the Daredevil story was clearly based on a specific comic, and you could tell where it was going by reading the coming, I wouldn't want to know that, say, the story ends with Karen, Foggy, and Matt dead! But if the story on the teevee is clearly varying from the comic, I don't care. So it is more of a judgement thing, but I was not sure how to word that.

I am also wondering if we should extend the discussion/voting period now that more of us are here less. I was really looking for this kind of discussion on the voting thread, but a) I wasn't as available to ask questions earlier and b) People were not on it as much as when I proposed in the past. I really believe in the proposer crafting the vote after careful consideration of the discussion, and I feel like there was a perspective of people who actually read and discuss comments left out a bit.
