Marvel Cinematic Universe

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared fictional universe that is centered on a series of superhero films, independently produced by Marvel Studios and based on characters that appear in publications by Marvel Comics. The franchise has expanded to include comic books, short films, and a television series. The shared universe, much like the original Marvel Universe in comic books, was established by crossing over common plot elements, settings, cast, and characters. Clark Gregg has appeared the most in the franchise, portraying Phil Coulson, an original character to the MCU.

The first film released in the MCU was Iron Man (2008), which began the first phase of films, culminating in Marvel's The Avengers (2012). Phase Two began with Iron Man 3 (2013), and is expected to conclude with Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). Marvel is also preparing Phase Three, beginning with the release of Ant-Man (2015). The universe began to expand with the release of the first official tie-in comics in 2010, and saw further expansion with the Marvel One-Shots direct-to-video short films in 2011 and the TV series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the 2013โ€“14 season. Marvel has multiple films and television projects in various stages of development.

The franchise as a whole ranks as the second highest-grossing film franchise of all time and has inspired other film studios with comic book character film rights to attempt to create similar shared universes.

The following film scene, from Iron Man (2008), is an example of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in action:

after end credits
Tony Stark: arriving home Evening, JARVIS!
Jarvis: voice distorted Welcome home, sir...
Stark stops as he sees a figure in his living room
Nick Fury: "I am Iron Man". You think you're the only superhero in the world? Mr. Stark, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it yet.
Tony Stark: Who the hell are you?
Nick Fury: Nick Fury. Director of SHIELD.
Tony Stark: Ah.
Nick Fury: I'm here to talk to you about the Avenger Initiative.

Ohio Northern University

A college in the middle of bumfuck Egypt where the students get pummeled my endless amounts of homework causing them to go into, what can only be considered, alcoholism. The town-I'm sorry, not town, the little spit of Hell the school is located in is so dry and boring that every student has perfected their beer pong, beer bonging, beer shotgunning and other various drinking game skills because there isn't a single other fucking thing to do other than drink.

OSU Student #1: Who the hell are those two guys that crashed our party and are 10-0 at the beer pong table?
OSU Student #2: Oh, they're the kids from Ohio Northern University. They're good 'cause, there ain't nothing to do at that school but drink."
OSU Student #1: Northern? Poor bastards...

University of Alabama-Birmingham

University located in Birmingham, Alabama. This is the place where people come and become either absolute goons or absolute retards, there is no in between. This is where our good friend Aaron (bless his heart) chose to go to college and let me tell you that using the word "wild" to describe him would be an understatement. If you thought Aaron was a goon before he went here, then you don't even want to know what he's up to now. Aaron also talks about how many retards that he always deals with on a daily basis so it doesn't seem like the area has the smartest population but that's not surprising considering that UAB is located in Alabama and has many students from the nearby states in the deep south.

I attended the University of Alabama-Birmingham and I was so happy I did because I met my wife there and she happened to be my second cousin, I've always heard of wincest but I didn't realize how amazing it was until I fucked my second cousin (now wife) and her sister at the same time.

University of Spoiled Foreigners

With over eighty countries represented in the student body, children of incomprehensible means from Latin America, Europe, and Southeast Asia attend this Jesuit institution, and pay tuition on par with Stanford or an Ivy League school. These students are frequently seen driving Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, Porsches, Lotuses, and BMW's, and carrying purses made by Prada, Jimmy Choo, and D&G. Instead of studying, they can often be found congregating in VIP sections of clubs such as Ruby Skye, running thousand-dollar-plus tabs on a regular basis. Spoiled is interchangeable with snotty or snobby, as in the University of Snotty/Snobby Foreigners.

Also known as the University of San Francisco.

I went by the University of Spoiled Foreigners today, and saw someone's Ferrari getting towed for parking in front of a fire hydrant. I left just as he started throwing a temper tantrum in front of the tow truck, but it was pretty funny watching him throw his iPhone in disgust. I guess Daddy is getting the bill for this.
