Every other non-Avengers Marvel movie: "What was everyone else doing at the time? Why couldn't X show up?"

Civil War: "What is everyone doing in this movie? I thought it was a Captain America movie"

:P
 
They should just drop the Avengers branding and use "A Marvel Cinematic Event" instead.

Can someone with decent photoshop skills do this with Iron Man and Captain America?

But would be "friendship ended with stark now bucky is my best friend" or "friendship ended with rogers now parker is my best friend" ?
 
They're specifically tied to Avengers because of contract clauses for now.

It depends though. RDJ seems to just do whatever he's asked because at this point he makes bank on bank. Evans has done cameos that didn't count against his contract, etc.
 
Parker will betray him at one point in the movie.

So will Stark really make two "friendship ended with" posts? Who will be his third best friend?
By the end of the movie,

Rhodey will be dead
Black Widow and Spiderman switch to Cap
Black Phanter will go back to Wakanda
Vision will either go with Scarlet Witch or go to space

Ironman forever alone.
 
Everybody is ungrateful. Falcon's wings? Stark made those. Cap's suit? Stark made it. Widow's batons? Stark made them. All the jets and bases? Stark's. If Stark loses, post credit scene is Cap begging T'Challa for a loan. Hawkeye has kids to feed. He's not about to hang the bow up for a falafel stand.

That makes no sense. Stark isn't the one paying them to save the world, Stark's the one getting paid to make all the shit used to save the world. If there's any begging, it'll be Fury begging T'Challa for some hand-me-down tech. Cap wouldn't give a fuck.

Might as well just go and call it:

I'm messing around, but in truth I can't recollect the state of things in Age of Ultron. All I got is the line where Tony calls Cap the leader, and himself the guy who makes and provides everything. Or what's up with Fury. In hiding? Presumed dead?

Last we saw of Nick, he was hanging out at Avengers HQ talking to Natasha and eating their snacks.
 
Huh, never noticed it before but it seems like his eyes have layers. Even more mechanical than I thought. I don't like it..wish they didn't go the "practical" route and just had genuine animated eyes. Maybe next time

If you listen closely to that part of the trailer, you can hear a camera shutter sound as the eye pieces move.

Yea I heard that in the trailer, but didn't really expect to see the layers in the eye like that. So then I'm guessing it just gets bigger and smaller, not really any expression

Let's not talk about AoU.... lol. :(
 
Just spent the last two hours watching The First Avenger....how do people not like this movie? It flies so far from either Iron Man or Thor that I'm having trouble understanding where the 'all MCU movies are alike' thing originated. Did that happen later?

If Tony is the face of the MCU, then Steve is absolutely the heart.

Ya basically Avengers are dead without his funding and tech. Not to mention he was the strongest member of the G1 team and contributed the most against the Chitauri invasion. T'Challol ain't funding squat.

Since Spidey is canon, maybe Norman Osborne can get the reign started.

I cam discount the opinion of anyone who says every Marvel movie is the same, it's pretty amazing

I love the first two thirds, but once you hit that action montage, it kinda loses all its steam. The train sequence is fine, but the movie has such higher highs.

I mean the last action sequence literally just happens because Cap says "well, why don't we just go fight Red Skull?"


I can't help but think it would've been more interesting if the last third was Cap and the Howling Commandos (who are barely characters) trapped behind enemy lines somewhere in Europe, cut-off or something.

You might want to watch it again. The last action sequence happens because the train mission was successful. From that, they get Zola to give up the location of Red Skull's base. The line you're referring to is "ok, now we know where he is, how do we attack it?" To which Cap suggests that he go head on, straight to the front door and surrender, while the Howling Commandos do a surprise infiltration, followed by the full squad assaulting the base once the chaos starts.


I do agree that the Howling Commandos were short-changed, but with so much of the movie establishing Cap (and doing so in a fantastic job) there just isn't room. The montage is VERY short, and really does not replace anything, despite people constantly suggesting that it replaces a full action sequence.

edit: just checked, the Howling Commando montage is 2 minutes. So, yeah, there's no 'they should have done x instead' with that time. I suppose they could have cut it completely, but where's the fun in that?

Everyone who says that isn't paying attention to the movies and walks away with "sigh, another Marvel superhero that defeats the bad guy. They're all the same."

We have no idea what's going to happen with T'Challa, nor do we know where Tony's arc goes at the end of the movie. We also have no idea about how Infinity War is going to start, so I'm not sure where you're pulling this from. T'Challa could easily fill in, assuming the Avengers Initiative isn't completely disbanded. Assuming in the other direction that the Accords do pass, then the operation will probably be sold to/bought out by/assimilated into the government. It'd be interesting to see a Dark Reign scenario emerge from all this, I agree.

As for Tony being the strongest, Thor and Hulk are both far superior as far as pure strength and power go. Cap was established as a far better tactician and leader (as shown in the final battle), was the third strongest, and was most likely the best (maybe second best compared to Natasha) and he had a better understanding of what the Tesseract could do compared to the group initially. Widow was able to trick Loki into talking and managed to ultimately shut down the portal generator (even though Selvig was talking her through it). Banner's expertise in gamma tech and his raw power as Hulk speak for him automatically. Hell the only person who contributed the least to the effort against the invasion was Hawkeye, but that's only because he contributed the most to it and his arc for the remainder of the movie is a revenge/redemption arc (however small it may be).

Yes, Tony was a larger focal point -- though that's more due to popularity and being the "face" of the MCU at the time -- but to say he contributed the most and is the strongest is largely underselling the team. Tony had the tech and the brains (figuring out where Loki was, hacking into SHIELD, assisting Banner in tracking the Tesseract), but he was also the most major cause of friction because he insisted on doing things his way AND also getting used to power the portal (Stark Tower). Taking the nuke into space shutdown the Chitauri entirely, but there was no way to know that at all and even if the nuke did hit then the invasion would have stopped regardless, being that the portal would have been sealed and the army destroyed (though the collateral would have been considerably higher), so his only contribution there was reducing casualties (something that everyone was already doing by killing the Chitauri).

Come to think of it, I wonder if they'll just let it slide that the World Security Council was willing to destroy all of Manhattan, and that the Avengers actually reduced potential casualties even more. Or maybe they'll just blame it all on Hydra, which actually plays into the overall Hydra arc in a pretty interesting way.
