Which movie?

[no_more_hiding]

So to help distinguish between the different movie canons, I suggest we use MCU for any movie that Marvel has direct control over; i.e. Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Avengers, any other phase 2&3 movies.

For movie canons not under direct control of Marvel, such as Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and X-Man, I suggest something like SMCU (Spider-Man cinematic universe), FFCU (Fantastic Four cinematic universe) or XMCU (X-Men cinematic universe, since Singer is hoping to unify the first trilogy with X-Men First Class).

Thoughts?

That sounds like a useful distinction and works off of how someplace like Archive of our Own does it. Then there's also all the comics' canons but they tend to split off in easier ways than the movies.

Oh perfect that AO3 uses similar distinctions!

Fine by me - that actually meshes up pretty well with what I've been using in my own mental references, so.

(Which, for the record: MCU, the "X-Men movies," the "Spider-Man movies," etc.)
