Cleanup Thread: MCU Character Pages

Sony's Spider-Man Universe has a bunch of folders that need consolidation like MCU Peter Parker, Adrian Toomes, Peter B. Parker, and Prowler

I will have to get to those at some point

Is everyone good to go with the Avengers – Family Members page?

I think the Avengers Families page shoulp be placed before the Avengers Allies page (and BTW, Hank Pym should also be placed before Yelena).

How are we deciding who’s a "other superhero" vs a ally or family member?

I think being a superhero takes priority. The MCU is a superhero franchise, after all. If the character is primarily defined as a superhero, they should be on the Other Superheroes page. If they are primarily defined as being a member of a superhero's family and not much else, then they should be on the Avengers Families page.

Ok then I think the Pyms should probably be moved to the other superheroes pages then, as none of them have been Avengers.

One could argue that Hope is technically classified as an Avenger since she showed up for the final battle in Endgame. And Hank became an Avenger in an alternate timeline.

I saw more folders that need consolidation here: Spider-Man: Spider-Verse.

Hey I don't know if I can comment here. But in regards to Maguire and Garfield Spideys, given the size of their respective folders, maybe on their original pages there could be a "No Way Home tropes" folder? And perhaps something similar could happen with the Foxverse characters like Deadpool and Wolverine.

The only thing I would disagree with is the Multiversal Villains, since the events of NWH do make them alternate versions of the original characters.

It’s an open forum, feel free to post your opinion.

Regarding the variant villains, we’d probably format the pages like all the other solo pages, variants under the originals.

Thanks. But except for Raimi Goblin, none of the original villains have their own pages which is why I think the Multiversal Villains page should be kept as it is. Though Raimi Goblin could have his MCU page added to his under variants, though it would be difficult to work out what goes where given there are three different folders for the MCU Goblin.

Alright, I've officially launched the consolidated character page for Doc Ock.

I proposed folding MCU: Howling Commandos back into MCU: S.H.I.E.L.D. – Strategic Scientific Reserve due to its low byte count in this thread. Anyone in favor of it?

I agree.

Hey, question. Given that the X-Men Film Series and MCU are starting to come together via Deadpool & Wolverine, should we list Peter Maximoff as one of Quicksilver's variants on his page?

That completely slipped my mind but after you mentioned it makes complete sense. I agree completely.

Sure.

I have a slight minor question about the Spider-Man Trilogy: Otto Octavius page. Shouldn't it be called Doctor Octopus, since the Spider-Man Trilogy pages use the codenames for Green Goblin and Spider-Man instead of their real names?

Actually I just had a thought? Since the X-Men Film Series: Wolverine and X-Men Film Series: Deadpool pages were added to the MCU MCU: Other Superheroes pages, should that also be done with similar characters with their own character pages like Raimi and TASM Spider-Men, and maybe Raimi Goblin and Dock Ock? The Raimi and MCU Goblin pages could be combined more or less while NWH exclusive tropes could be added under a Variant folder, like with the new Dock Ock character page?

I called it Otto Octavius because people mentioned how we now have characters who may have the same superhero/villain monikers, and so using their legal name would be best to specify who they are (exempting special cases like Moon Knight).

For Otto, I thought it would be particularly important since there's an Olivia Octavius in the Spider-Verse who's also Doctor Octopus.

While I normally would agree with you on that idea, I'm not sure if the Variant folder solution would work with the Raimi and Webb Spider-Men. Because it's shown in that film that they are the same versions of the characters we saw in their respective film series, just later down the road. That also applies to Sandman.

I thought that rule about the name only applied to MCU specific pages, since there are actual examples of Legacy Character? Dock Ock's page is a Spider-Man Trilogy page. Plus Olivia Octavius doesn't apply since she doesn't have her own page, they're from unrelated film franchises and a connection between the two hasn't even been made.

Also I never said Raimi and Webb Spider-Men should have NWH tropes under a Variant folder, that was for the Raimi Green Goblin page. Like how NWH Doc Ock is a variant folder in the Raimi Dock Ock page, the MCU/NWH Norman Osborn page should be made into a folder under variants in the Raimi Goblin page.
