My friend keeps calling the MCU 'Marvel Universe' and it drives me nuts
I was at a party last month and my friend was talking about the 'Marvel Universe' movies. He meant the MCU, the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It matters because the 'Marvel Universe' is the whole comics world, not just the movies. I had to pull up a wiki page on my phone to show him the difference. Does anyone else have friends who mix up comic and movie terms?

Totally get the "Marvel Universe" thing. It's like when people call every game console a Nintendo. You see this everywhere now, where the popular movie or show version becomes the only version people know. The specific details get lost because the big screen version is all they've seen. It makes explaining the original comics or games feel like you're teaching a history lesson.
