I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Reasoning by induction, there will always be an n+1th Chris being cast.

ETA more to the point, looks good, DX

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Since there don't seem to be any further objections, the new MCU thread is open for business.

Edit: the Jossverse slug and header need to be changed, too, right?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Okay, how about this, including Tom's suggested list of applicable series/films...

I think it would be very useful if there were an easy checkbox to select when posting. maybe one for each show in the thread.

I'm not sure what you mean. You mean a checkbox in the posting box to give the show being discussed?

I wound up not putting Tom's full list in the header because it made the header huge.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We manage to post in Boxed Set despite its ever-growing number of shows without any confusion, and the MCU thread seems the same.

Sure, if a problem arises we can discuss whether more complicated mechanisms are needed to thread nanny, but Boxed Set is, to me, a great inadvertent test case for how to manage a thread that houses lots of different properties that are watched/discussed by different people.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The Boxed Set header btw. Can we consider updating that?

brillig

Kind of sad to realize none of those shows air anymore.

And most haven't aired for a very long time. What shall we replace them with? The Flash, Arrow, Dr. Who (which has the advantage of probably never going off the air in our lifetimes), Orphan Black, iZombie...

Those sound good. Gotham and Once Upon a time if anyone still watches.
