I decided to re-watch The Avengers after this, and hey, turns out Jasper Sitwell has been hanging around in the background of SHIELD scenes since Thor.

Anyone notice Black Widow's necklace? I thought it was a really cool touch.

I missed this one, can you explain?

Am I the only one on the planet who thinks Iron Man 3 was great?

Iron Man 3 was loving great, I don't know what this dude's on about.

Really, all of Phase 2 has been significantly better than Phase 1 so far. I went back and re-watched The Avengers and Iron Man 2 after seeing Winter Soldier, since they're the most SHIELD-heavy and it is incredible how much less interesting the threats in those films are. The Demigod-led alien invasion is really boring in comparison to the manipulation and lies that are the backbone of Winter Soldier.

Iron Man 3 did something siimilar, telling a story set in that universe with all the cnsequenses and ideas that come with it, but at a more grounded level. (Besides, y'know, kidnapping the president.) I am now opposed to the Avengers stuff just because the more personal, ground-level stories with these characters are much more interesting.

I am so up for girl Indiana Jones, Tony Stark's dad and the Howling Commandos fighting double-Nazis in the MCU. Really hoping we hear something about that show sometime soon. :allears:

Oh, I am so psyched for this. Especially if they get Atwell, Cooper, and McDunnough to all reprise their roles.

The first time we meet Tony Stark, he is showing off a weapon that fires muliple projectiles at once, sending them all around, with smoke trails behind them, looking not unlike the heads and necks of an actual mythical Hydra.

I got my wife to see winter soldier and she loved it and she'd like to watch the other marvel movies to get some of the references they were referring to. So with that being said is there some sort of order we should watch all the marvel movies in so she can catch up.

The order they were released is probably the best, but it doesn't really matter as long as you start with Iron Man and make sure you get the pre-Avengers/Post-Avengers split right.

They're not 100% in chronological story order, but it's not difficult to parse through.

He says he showed Stark the plans for the ship, and Stark took it upon himself to improve them.

Specifically, he says "Stark had some suggestions when he got a good look at our turbines" So it's a reference to the scene in The Avengers where Tony has to repair the engine turbine and gets his rear end handed to him by the blades. Tony's assistance was probably very little other than "Hey, I don't want to do that again, stop using turbines, use this instead", having no idea what was up with Insight.

With Sam's support Cap evolves into more of a mission leader than an order-taker in this film. Fury's line of "I guess you're leading the missions now." is pretty significant.

I found it funny that Fury looks at Sam to back him up as a last resort during that scene, because neither of them know who the gently caress the other one is.

If you're tired of SMG hijacking threads, then stop talking about how he posts and talk about what he is saying. Or don't. Talk about what you want to say. But stop posting ABOUT SMG. No one cares.

There's rumors of a contract dispute after the original director, Patty Jenkins, was fired/quit the production. Portman was pretty instrumental in getting Jenkins put in the director's chair and threw somewhat of a hissy fit over it.

That was for Thor II, not Avengers. Joss Whedon was always the first choice for Avengers.

I bet Andrew W.K. could pick it up.

While this is obviously true, let's keep this discussion film-focused and leave the comics (which don't directly apply to this film) out of it.
