So does Tony's Iron Man suit not work in space or something? It seemed to do just fine underwater so that would seem like it can handle extreme pressure differences and no air.
That was the only time I actually did feel like the movie was trying to make make him look useless. I mean, he's Captain friggin America! A little slip taking him out of the action? No way.

Its probably because his suit was swiss cheese after going 50 rounds with space eels. Iron man likes oxygen though.

He was out of power. Though I dont know why Cap(?) told him it was a one way trip, that part I didnt understand.
He ran out of power.
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
Fuck that. rhodey lives. If you need to kill a black avenger for some reason, have black falcon appear and kill his ass off.
That part dragged on for sure. He was also pinned down way too much by the guys dressed as Shield agents.

Because it was a city (with flying things all around), not a mountain (with hidden terrorists).

Why didn't they just shoot the nuke up the portal in the first place as the plan?

How can Iron Man go toe-to-toe with Thor? Really makes no sense to me.
There was no guarantee he was going to fall out after the portal close, and they couldn't take the chance of waiting for him to come back.
He kinda got his ass kicked.

Flying into your enemy's staging ground probably isn't a very sound tactic.
Better yet, let's not kill black heroes. But before BP, we need Giant Man/ Antman

It could hit nothing since, you know, space is quite wide
HAHA Yes. It would be awesome (and heroic, and sad
) to see him trying to help fight Thanos or Ultron. And getting slaughtered.NullPointer

Vibranium and grit.
No. Let's totally kill the Falcon.
Every time he was about to get fucked up, he either distracted Thor with a repulsor blast, or he jetted out of the way of his hammer before becoming chunky salsa inside his suit. The fight actually made a lot of sense, considering.

God, I need a Black Panther movie.
Didn't they get broken up in a sense? Also I was wondering, was he forced to wear the old Iron Man suit in the end or something? He had the circle instead of the triangle in the chest.

why launch a nuke at all when Avengers had quarantined a 3-block radius? >_>

That was after the turbine scene. He was fine after the Thor fight.
And if they do, they can go fuck themselves. Panther is the fucking man.

Don't they tracking systems and remote cameras on them things? Haha. I mean shit, they have a floating aircraft carrier, haha.

He wore the Mark 7 at the end. Jarvis even tells him it isnt completely ready yet.
That was the new Mark VII armor.
Iron Man went through the fucking grinder in this movie.
This so hard.
Yeah, they'll have to change the name.

the Avengers were on the ropes when the nuke was launched. They were about out of juice.

Afro-American Panther.

It'll just be "Panther".
Meh. Drop the "black". Just call him "The Panther". Done.

What if they went a different route and there was a scene where they did decide to launch nukes through the portal with some unmaned craft and Thor and IM had to escort the ships so they wouldn't be destroyed.
Or they get to the mothership and plant a virus.

Maybe they didn't have a Macbook handy. So, backup plan? Nukes.
Man, if that's what it takes to get the movie made, I'll let it slide.
That would have gone against the council's characterization of not trusting or believing in the Avengers.

2012 son. They do it with an iPad somehow.

It's disappointing that that's what it would "take." He's the Black Panther, King of Wakanda. People need to stop being petty (yes, I do see the irony).
Agreed, but that's just the world we live in. The connections to the political party alone would be enough to drive some audiences away. (Which is ironic, considering the character predates the party by a couple of months) Not to mention the Africa setting and a mostly black cast. (I say mostly because I need my boy Agent Everett K. Ross in this)

If they name him Panther, might as well make him look like this:
\/ He isn't immortal. That's why Loki said that, because he very well knows Thor can die. That fall shouldn't kill him though.

That would go over about as well as John Carter of Mars.
Who am I kidding? It would go over much worse.
That reminds me that Marvel did try changing his name to Black Leopard for a while. They wound up going back, obviously. Probably because someone informed them that Black Leopard is a really dumb name.
They should just go to Lee and Kirby's original plan and call him the Coal Tiger. Even break out the suit.

Well he said "they called it", meaning he's dead... but watching it again, Coulson KNEW he was going to die, he literally said something along the lines of "they need this". He knew it.
That leads me to believe he might have controlled a LMD when he went to find that weapon... who knows.
