'Sleeper'
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!
Would Daredevil and X-Men be part of the MCU (for purposes of our thread)? Spiderman? Are there animated shows to be considered?
Daredevil, yes. Spider-Man, only as produced by Marvel.
The MCU is specifically the universe produced and created by Marvel Studios, not any movie or TV show that features a Marvel character. No X-Men, no Fantastic Four, no five Spider-Man movies (but the SIXTH one, yes), etc.
Further complicating things is Netflix's practice of dumping all episodes of a season simultaneously. Discussion of Netflix series is hampered because we don't really have a whitefont policy for that kind of thing.
Are we saving the discussion of a Streaming (minus MCU) thread for later? I am definitely cool with that but I didn't want to miss my chance to support the idea.
Streaming should probably be a separate proposal.

That seems super complicated for folks not deep into MCU. I already feel like I'll need a cheat sheet to separate any DC characters. If there are any with shows and stuff.
Yeah, that is not going to be easy for me to remember.
What if it was in the slug, like in Boxed Set?

Not to mention DC is also building a DCCU (though I think it's unconnected to the TV DCU??).

AFAIK, the TV shows are totally separate from the films.
I am so in favor of an MCU thread. Having one place to discuss Daredevil and M:AoS and the upcoming AoU would be great.
I agree with Tep that the whitefonting and spoiler rules should be revisited for this thread for her reasons and also for slightly different reasons. I think there are going to be times that the thread will be mostly inactive. In about two weeks, AoU and M:AoS would dominate discussion for the month of May with perhaps snippets of DD here and there, but then for June, July and August there would probably be very little to talk about. Unless we could also talk about MCU news in general such as casting and/or character inclusions in upcoming films and tv projects. Just a thought. (As a visilurker, my opinion should be weighted accordingly.)
I am also psyched to be posting in Lightbulbs again. I usually have to read all these discussions well after the fact. Yay, being current!
