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. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
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. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
Huh, didn't know Kit Harrington was in this thing. Bonus Stark boys reunion!
Is Gemma Chan the only actor who has played two different roles in MCU? She was one of the baddies in some of the earlier scenes of Captain Marvel if I recall, albeit in blue face makeup.
Alfre Woodard had a role in Luke Cage and a different role in Civil War.
Enver Gjokaj played Sousa in Agent Carter and SHIELD and also played a cop in Avengers, but the latter was little more than a cameo.
Mahershala Ali, Marvel’s new Blade, was also the baddie in Luke Cage.
...and a baddie in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
I'm REALLY liking Owen Wilson as a foil for Loki.
I dig the chillax energy Owen Wilson brings to the proceeding. I also really like the retro SF aesthetic of the show -- some Brazil, quite a bit of Doctor Who, a dash of Jean-Pierre Jeunet. It's weirdly comforting.
I enjoy Loki in small doses and Hiddleston is always fun to watch, but the whole "I don't mean to hurt people, I do it because I have to" part totally made me enact Thor's "did you though" meme, nose wrinkle and head tilt and all. I mean obviously they had to make him somewhat sympathetic for the show to work, but I was like, been there, done that, ridden on that woobiefication train and kinda over it. That said, I was quite entertained and happy to be on board for various time travel shenanigans.

That's a cocktail made to order for me! Maybe he can go to the City of Lost Children.
Hm. I'm not sure what I think yet, but there's some good potential.
Okay, well. My reaction to the first ep was largely "Do they know not EVERYTHING has to be Brazil?" with a side order of "Oh god this really is going to be a solid hour of Previously In The MCU isn't it."
In theory this show has all of the elements I generally like shows to have, but...meh. It's not working for me so far.
