Marvel Cinematic Universe - All Marvel Movie/TV discussion

Maybe they did. And maybe Fury knew that Carol was handling that while at the same time thinking those were the only ones and she had it taken care of. Almost like he was completely ignorant of the possibility of other alien races being out there.

[Powder]

But then why does Fury say in Avengers,

Last year, Earth had a visit from another planet that had a grudge match that leveled a small town. We learned that only are we not alone, but we are hopelessly, hilariously outgunned.

?

It contradicts the cannon of Captain Marvel.

[Samuel 'Plan]

Technically speaking, there's nothing in that line of dialogue that demonstrates Fury didn't know about alien life before Thor himself or that SHIELD didn't either.

[Powder]

We learned.

Those two words imply that they did not know of alien life prior to Thor. If Fury said, "we saw", or "we realized", or "we decided" etc, then I can agree with you. But "We learned" (as a teacher) directly states that this was information that was not known prior.

[Samuel 'Plan]

Of course it does. But "we" does not inherently mean Nick Fury and SHIELD.

[Powder]

Well regardless, in Captain Marvel, they have a lot of 'splainin' to do. They need to explain:

1. Why wasn't Marvel contacted to help with Thor and Loki when they first arrived in New Mexico?
2. Why wasn't Marvel contacted to help the Avengers with Loki and the Chitauri?
3. Why wasn't Marvel (or the Avengers for that matter) contacted with the Dark Elves' ship landed (another alien ship) in London?
4. Why wasn't Marvel contacted to help with Ultron?
5. Why did Fury not tell anyone about her existence until after Thanos' ships landed in Wakanda?

Again, the MCU has been really good about continuity but they seemed to overlook Captain Marvel.

I can’t imagine you’re the only person asking these questions, just like I can’t imagine Marvel wouldn’t have a good explanation already in store for us.

[Powder]

Maybe on these boards, but not over the rest of the internet.

After reading a few articles... apparently Iron Fist was cancelled and won’t have a 3rd season. I’m quite upset due to having re-watching S1 right before S2... S1 had faults, yes. It was still a good story, though. S2 was quite excellent. “The Defenders” may or may not have ruined Danny... I should perhaps go and watch that again. Anyway... first Marvel show to not receive a sequel (or three-quel)... discuss, please.

[Powder]

Season 2 was MUCH better than S1, but it still was not good. The last 15 minutes was the best ending of any Marvel series on Netflix, and left us actually wanting more. BUT those 15 minutes do NOT make up for the total cluster f#@k of the show.

BUT, Iron Fist is not off the table. He will show up in other series, and possible Power Man and Iron Fist team ups, AND the show might be revived in a "Pay to watch Disney Channel", not the Disney Channel, similar to the DC channel. This channel is reportedly also having a Loki and Scarlet Witch series starring Hiddelston and Olsen, and now a revived Iron Fist. so all may not be lost.

[meandi]

What are these shows with Hiddleston and Olsen you speak of? I haven’t seen any mention of this. Also, if they’re pulling the plug on Iron Fist after perhaps the best cliff-hanger of any of the shows... I don’t see Danny showing up in anything else. Maybe if Marvel does some wrangling and gets all 4 shows away from Netflix (don’t know what the status of that is like where Fox had X-Men/F4 and what-not. But kind of how they did Spider-Man with Sony, maybe...) and dumps this on the Disney streaming network, then, yeah, maybe.

[Powder]

I read that the Danny Rand character is definitely going to appear in the other Netflix shows. My best guess is Luke Cage again as they are teamed up in the comics, and he might have a cameo in future seasons of the others, and Defenders season 2, obviously.

And here is a link to the Loki and Scarlet Witch shows, along with perspective others.

I’d love to see a real Heroes forHire season. I don’t think Defenders is getting a season 2. Ritter said she doubts it, Netflixsays it’s not in the plans and Netflix turned the Defenders Facebook page into something entirely different.

[meandi]

Just got home from work. Daredevil 3 dropped today. Guess I know what I’m doing this weekend...

[comfortablynumb]

It’s a great season. I enjoyed the Bullseye origin story.

And Luke Cage was canceled today. I enjoyed it because it was different from the others with some great music. Disappointing. Jessica Jones season two was horrible and I have no clue how that got a third season order.
