GPTribefan posted:If anyone has Marvel Unlimited, read Roger Stern’s incredible run on the Avengers from the mid to late 1980’s. You’ll gain a huge appreciation for Monica Rambeau and get some insight on how her powers may work in the show. But stop there, because what comes after (and why Stern left) is really not a high point in Mark Gruenwald's long comics career. Rappaport posted:I thought Billy's remark about Agatha being silent was an allusion to her having telepathy / mind control powers of her own, so she would be blocking Billy? That's what they showed at the "twist" too, she's mind-controlling Wanda on some level.

Cage Kicker posted:Putting the spotlight on racial social issues has got to be a real morale killer for the kind of person who thinks racism is mostly over but still locks their car doors when they are at a stoplight and a POC is in the crosswalk. Yes, but have you considered that sticklefifer posted:We're following a post-Thanos world, and it feels like they're wedging in real world issues because a boardroom of rich white guys mandated it. There's no reason to believe that after all the events in the MCU, modern society would be literally the same but also superheroes. The MCU didn't have Trump or Q or BLM, so maybe black people should just shut up and consider how good they have it without a Chitauri invasion.

tsob posted:I really don't see anything out of character or unexpected about that action. The guy with her was shocked, but that doesn't mean it's something that Karli would never do regardless. "The guy with her" has been with her since the beginning. His reaction wasn't, "why do you keep doing that," it was "why did you do that thing you've never done before"? That was the entire point of his reaction, to show the audience that it was absolutely out of character. Edit: you edited in more while I was replying! My post stands, but I understand what your expanded comments are saying.

Marsupial Ape posted:Public perception wise, assassinating Captain America would be almost as bad as punching Baby Yoda. Watching the big fight scene it occurred to me that if Sam and Bucky hadn't interfered and the Dora Milaje had killed Walker, there would be no way the United States would have let CAPTAIN AMERICA be killed by a bunch of black terrorists without massive reprisal. Somewhere on the Ancestral Plane, Killmonger's ghost got real excited for a second.

Thundercracker posted:Nah, they definitely weren't trying to kill him. They were holding back and just stunted on him. I would have to go back and see if the woman who pinned his shield instead of his heart was the same as the one who tried to skewer him a sec before. I think there is enough pride there to show the colonizer just how outclassed he is, but I also think there is too much professionalism to mess around on an op like that. Either way, it doesn't matter in the context of the show, it was just a sort of What If...? thought I had.

Ravel posted:I do wish Civil War had as its motivating conflict something actually meaningful, and that had an impact in later films. The writers admit that the breakdown in relations at the end of the film had to be immediate because otherwise Tony would have rationally realized Bucky was not in control. And then the actual Avengers split doesn't impact anything story-wise in Infinity War. The reconciliation in Endgame is also a little empty because it's always going to seem trivial by that point. There's no doubt Civil War was way too ambitious. It tried to be a Captain America movie, an Iron Man movie, and an Avengers movie all at the same time. But I disagree with "trivial"; as you note, Tony accepted relatively quickly that his anger at Bucky was misplaced, and his friendship with Steve was deeper than his anger at perceived betrayal. But accepting something and admitting it are two different things, especially for Tony Stark, and that's why it took until Endgame to finally clear the air. Well, that and the whole we lost to Thanos and my greatest fears have come true and also, my PTSD is back thing. That's not trivial or empty, that's catharsis.

BrianWilly posted:Ahaha wtf, yeah no Steve and Tony might have respected each other as fellow heroes, but they were not friends and if you guys think that, you're 100% just seeing what you wanted to see instead of what was actually shown in the films which is that they butted heads, bickered, or outright attacked each other in nearly every single scene they ever shared. The fact that they couldn't come to terms with how outright, diametrically incompatible they were with each other as human beings set the stage for and inflamed the utter dissolution of their whole social group. The only time they "outright attacked" each other was the breaking point in Civil War. And apologies for drawing conclusions about your social scene, but if you don't "butt heads" or "bicker" with your RL friends, then what you have might not be friends, but sycophants. And they're not that diametrically incompatible. Steve comes to realize that Tony absolutely would lay down on the wire, and Tony understands that Steve is not some 2-dimensional icon, but a good man always trying to do the right thing, even if the easy way is to just cut the wire.

tsob posted:We do see them hanging out in Age of Ultron a few times, between the party and the film's conclusion where they're ribbing Thor about whether a lift is worthy if it takes Mjolnir up/down. They're friends. How close their friendship is is absolutely up for debate, but the films want you to take them as friends regardless. Steve and Tony's relationship is the common through-line though every Avengers movie (and one Captain America film). From "genius, billionaire, philanthropist" / "put on the suit" to "so was I" / "I thought I was sparing you, but I was really sparing myself" to final catharsis. To me that seems like a lot of time devoted to a simple working relationship or even a case of mutual respect. I can't disprove that, but I think the character beats (not to mention what is the load-bearing relationship at the heart of Civil War) would be much poorer viewing them in that light.

10 Beers posted:Didn't Steve not know aboutit actually being Bucky who killed Tony's parents until he saw the video, too? In CA:TWS Zola tells him Hydra had to remove obstacles("Accidents will happen") as he flashes a picture of Howard Stark. But then he also flashes a picture of Peggy, who at the time is an old woman living in a home after a long and fulfilling life. I suppose it's an open question of how long he knew, but "I guess I thought by not telling you about your parents I was sparing you, but I can see now that I was really sparing myself, and I'm sorry. Hopefully one day you can understand" seems pretty conclusive. BIG 'ALREADY ANSWERED' EDIT: yowza. That's why you refresh before post
