what's more lame is that she's had that hairstyle since filming CW and even dyed it red.
WHY THEY NO GIVE

Superman and Widow. Too much hotness for me.
Woah, when was this?
most of it seemed pretty feasable but I would have never ever thought that we would have gotten a guardians of the galaxy or ant-man movie

I mean, they shot it in South Africa, but I think the movie kept it nebulous. I haven't watched AoU in awhile, but when they go to the tanker, they just say they're "on the African coast" or something like that.
Weird. I don't remember exactly, but I always thought they made it clearer than that. Maybe it was due to Klaw's accent or some signage in the town.

Ellis is a joke. probably one of the worst US president ever. Can't believe people voted for this clown.
I voted for him and would do so again. The way he's handled the recent incidents is commendable. After Shield fell he made sure that the other branches of US intelligence and Military were able to cover the slack before forming the ATC to contuines the fight that the SSR and Shield started.
The Watchdogs.
You believe the rumors of the ATCU being the public face of SHIELD these days?

They're even doing throwbacks:
And if you notice, the small print at the end of each WHIH video says that it's a division of Vista Corp International, haha
I bet this attack on Laos in just another show caused by those villigantes themself on their desperate road for recognition.
We should support real heroes, like John Jameson, a astronaut and a real american hero.
Avengers are NWO!
I hears rumors about strange things that are supposed to happen between the Vision and this one woman... Wanda Maximoff.

You're damn right. While we're at it, we need more pictures of Spider-Man.

That's a nice touch. Their world building is excellent.
What, you'd prefer someone like Norman Osborn to be the President? That guy just doesn't sit right with me...
#Osborn2016! Even this Donald Trump guy endorses him.
Maybe he even has a solution on this Avengers sitution and gets some iron but patriotic solutions in the play.
I love how this videos bring people to post in-Universe. Lot of fun with this, to sad the gag will be over in the next days :/

Don't play with me
Nope, Shield was flawed from the start. The ATCU is a new dawn with Glen Talbot at the helm.
The Ellis Administration has had strong Domestic and Forgien policy when it comes to the handling of Alien and Powered Individuals. Hopefully the Avengers Standoff Behind them to help train powered people go be the proctectors we need.
And what of the reports of Inhumans running around?

Rewatched a lot of the movies in preparation for Civil War.
Some longish impressions. Feel free to discuss any single point that you find interesting/disagree with. Spoilers of course.
Iron Man 1: still enjoyable. The main issues are with the final battle. This movie started the MCU trend of enemies using the same tech as the heroes. I dislike when this happens. It makes the hero's abilities less unique and leads to boring battles. Orthogonal conflicts are the best, when heroes and villains have different skill sets. Still a top 5 MCU movie for me I think.
Iron Man 2: Not THAT bad. This movie gets a bit of undeserved hate IMO. It has some funny moments and some decent action sequences. The main issue with the movie is the villain. Again another villain using the same tech and with weak motivations. There was potential here. Whips that can cut everything against iron man was potentially interesting. Whiplash using drones vs manned suits was potentially interesting due to the orthogonality and later implications in UItron/IM3. But then, whiplash gets into a freaking suit
The whole new element sequence was not done well. They made it seem like a silly coincidence instead of something that the father actually left behind. Advanced tech coming from the cube is an interesting idea, but just not presented clearly enough in the movie itself. I also do not like how Rhodey just stole and used the suit. This needed further explanation. Something along the lines of this suit being lent to Rhodey to mess around with previously and something he had at least played around with. They should have also had a little bit more showing why even with the ability to modify and tweek around with the suit, the government/other companies still couldnt completely reverse engineer it.
So Overall, IM2 is ok. It is an adequate sequel, but it didn't really introduce any big concepts or themes.

Here's a interesting article about former Marvel Studios executive David Maisel.
This part is the most frightening though:
Marvel selling the Captain America rights to WB? Perish the thought!

A Warner-produced Cap film. Man - imagine the alternate universe where this happens. Then imagine if New Line kept the Iron Man rights.
If a specific set of circumstances had happened, something of a merged universe could've still happened, but not at the level of the MCU. New Line merged with Warner Bros., so there may have been something like a Captain America v Iron Man movie down the line.
But thank god the rights weren't sold and that Marvel got Iron Man back.

In my IMAX seat right now. Still over an hour to go until it starts.
They gave us these cool tickets:
Edit: I just saw two guys dressed as Captain America (complete with shield) and Iron Man walk in. I saluted Cap. Hah.

That's pretty nice. I've never gotten a promotional ticket before.In my IMAX seat right now. Still over an hour to go until it starts.

Do we know if she meant Disney Marvel or Fox Marvel? I don't think we really count Sony Marvel anymore, do we?

I can imagine a WB Cap series staying in WWII, meaning it wouldn't crossover with anything else. Honestly, if the right talent was onboard, it could've been cool. Obviously the Cap sequels we got are great but rushing through Cap's WWII career to get him frozen for Avengers is one of those missed opportunities of the MCU.

Sharon Stone to play Carnage in Sony's Venom solo movie. You heard it here first, folks.
They should cast Sharon Stone as Janet. Make it a Basic Instinct reunion.

After watching Cap 1, the movie is really rushed. The best part of the movie is the setup.
After that, it is montage after montage of action sequences. I thought to myself a Captain America + Howling Commandos TV series would make a lot of sense.

I just realized that I want the Antman sequel to be a movie that takes place both in the past and the present. Like, Scott/Hope bits interspersed with Hank/Janet bits. Have the past bits dealing with some threat that they thought they had defeated in the Cold War and have it resurface in the present. While you're in the Cold War past, throw in a brainwashed Winter Soldier fight.
