A good trailer but I didn't really get a 'WOW' feeling from it that a lot of others did. Tony's line at the end worked really well but beyond that it felt a little samey to me.

It's the first trailer so I'm sure that they all saving the more bombastic set pieces etc for later trailers but it still felt a little flat to me. And that Black Panther 'reveal' just didn't work for me at all, he looked like a Power Ranger too which was slightly baffling.

I like Marvel films, and the first AOU trailer totally blew me away, but I didn't feel remotely charmed by this at all.

I'm sure the second trailer will bring it.
 
Do we know why BP in this yet? Going to find out that Bucky did something bad in Wakanda?

-Ironman and Hulk fight.
-An active avenger (Wanda) dealing with a branded, possibly regicidial criminal hated by Wakanda.
-Wants his vibranium back.

On the top of my head.
 
Uhh that's where Vibranium is located, I'm pretty sure it was.

No, that is where Klaw had his stolen vibranium.

Why would Klaw sit on the coast of the country that brands the fuck out of thieves, with a boat load of their national treasure.

Plus Wakanda is a land locked country.
 
Uhh that's where Vibranium is located, I'm pretty sure it was.

The Vibranium was there because Klaw stole it from Wakanda. That was a random African city likely because they didn't want to call it South Africa right before the heroes of the movie fucking leveled it.

Wakanda looks nothing like any modern civilization seen on earth. When you see Wakanda you will know it.
 
Looks good, but it'll be hard to follow-up Winter Soldier.

I hope there is a good link to Agents of SHIELD too, because I'm curious how this will affect the inHumans.

Daisy and Lincoln certainly are going to be anti-registration.
 
I rather have Super Heroes fight Super Villains.

i am not a fan of expendable jobber fodder like the Shit-ary
There are villains in this movie, actually. None were in the trailer, but we know of at least two:
Crossbones, who was in Winter Soldier
And
Baron Zemo

The trailer is setting the mood for the film without showing us the real threat. Heck, we still don't know who the big bad is for BvS.
 
Trailer looks fucking AWESOME, but I gotta say I'm not digging the story vibes. I really hope this brings in a national event that causes people to question super heroes and their ethics like the books, not just people going after Bucky and Cap being like "MY BUDDY NO."

That scene at the table seemed pretty weak, with the guy just calling Cap a vigilante. I hope that's not all ot takes.

And they showed Wakanda on a map

There have already been several events that would cause people to question heroes.

Like an entire European city dropping out of the sky?

We've already had those events, its called the Sokovia Accords and not the Superhero Registration Act for a reason. Cap is ignoring government law in order to save a friend, that is a big enough reason for the conflict. The whole point is that someone as powerful as Cap should not just be able to do whatever he wants, and here he is giving the middle finger while protecting his pal.
 
Militaries around the world saw the power of Vibranium, so to keep from having to vaporize a few countries T'challa is probably out there putting out fires.

Yeah I mean I guess that does work. But that was all Stark's fault in the movies. He made Ultron. But yeah, I'm sure they could make it work to where that makes people question all super heroes.

They're just really making Cap out to be the bad guy in this. Where in the books, out of the two if one had to be called a villain, Tony was the one who went too far. I don't know. All I know is I want to see more.
 
look how excited Slayven is. Look at him.


"Hey Captain you were right about the whole Hydra thing and all but looks like we've got to use our resources once again to just hunt you down."


I'm getting a transformers stupidity vibe from this of 'humans constantly betraying autobots'

Tony Stark's one superpower is never to feel the weight of his fuckups.

That's why Stark is their poster boy. He's an example of superhero overreach.

I think it's more balanced than the comics in a very good way. I think Tony recognizes that he is largely to blame for Ultron's actions which is why he is out there front and center, and actually enforcing the Accords to stop Cap and bring him in.

Steve only comes off as the badguy if you completely ignore his compassion. Both characters are coming at this from the right angle, I can't say either of them are particularly wrong but that's why we get to enjoy them butting heads repeatedly, until T'Challa uncovers what's really going on and gets them to figure their shit out and join up to stop Zemo.
 
It doesn't matter if the city Hulk smashed in AoU was part of Wakanda or not. They can just say it was close enough to get Black Panther's attention.

He was probably tracking the stolen Vibranium back to Klaw.

Ultron then takes the Vibranium to make Vision.

BP could technically claim Vision is stolen property. ;)
 
I mean, comic book "peak human" is never gonna be realistic, but he isn't supposed to be holding helicopters or, like, bending steel girders like Spider-Man can. No human will ever be able to jump around like Cap often does in the comics, but peak human is the general concept of his abilities. He can still get shot, break limbs, he can't go through steel without using his shield to dig through it, etc. He can run fast, jump high, and punch hard. It never goes into breaking the laws of physics (except when it does in a given issue, of course) the way heroes with "Super strength" do.

Now MCU Cap does appear to have some super strength going on. Nothing wrong with it but it is stuff his comics counterpart won't do very often.

captain america is not peak human. The comics make it clear that he is well past what humans are capable of and training will not get you there.

616 Cap has been shot in the head and healed up in an hour because "he's captain america."

616 Cap has sustained 60mph foot speeds over a period of several miles.

616 Cap is able to dodge bullets after they're fired because he "sees faster" than humans are capable of.

616 Cap has carried around steel girders over his shoulder like baseball bats.

616 Cap has thrown his shield hard enough to overtake rockets in flight.

616 Cap doesn't age and is functionally immortal, and his body generates no fatigue toxins.

616 Cap has lept out of airplanes a thousand feet up sans parachute, plummeted to earth, broke the concrete with his feet and taken off running.

edit: and as for "can't go through steel"

a bleeding and injured cap busts down a steel door. sans shield.

"peak human" is a concept invented by the marvel handbooks and isn't accurate when discussing captain america.
 
It was a 'fun ride' watching it once, but there is a reason that the high praise the movie got upon release hasn't really been maintained.

I really only see this on gaf, tbh. This may just be a case of confirmation bias on both our ends though. From what I've seen, The Avengers continues to get just as much praise elsewhere online and in real life as it did when it came out.

It's OK to want certain things from your movies and be displeased when those criteria aren't met but sometimes it seems less about whether or not a movie is good and more a question of how well they fit a strict set of criteria. Structurally, the primary obstacle in the first Avengers movie wasn't the invasion or even Loki, it was bringing the team together. The climax is a 40 minute long hoo-rah. And guess what? It works! Even if it only really reaches its peak entertainment potential on the first watch, it still works. That's why it was as popular as it was when it released.
 
All expectations exceeded. Hopefully the film will live up to the teaser.

I loved Winter Soldier and it looks like they nailed the tone again.
 
How is it possible some guy in Africa can develop a super soldier serum?
It seems like GAF loves this Black panther dude, but i think he is a rather obscure super hero?

Oh boy you're just Jon snowing it up right now :P

Nah, BP definitely not as well known as his friends outside of comic books. But that's a good thing cuz we will get to see him take the mainstream by force. He's gonna be hugely popular.

He's definitely not just some guy in Africa. He is the king of Wakanda, the most technically advanced nation on earth. He can fight like Cap and think like Iron Man. And his powers don't come from a serum, they are mystical in nature.

The SSS is the western version of the heartshaped fruit an herb Wakanda has had for centuries.

Why can't a guy in Africa develop?

Wakanda is the most advanced nation on marvel earth.
