[QUOTE=Menien Goneld;50331867]I'm really hoping for a [sp]sweet new Vibranium arm[/sp] but that would only happen if [sp]they somehow get rid of his brainwashing, which is difficult since there aren't any telepaths in the MCU yet[/sp][/QUOTE] There's bound to be one just floating around in [sp]Wakanda. If it's such a notoriously secret place, it would explain why nobody knew about it before[/sp]
I saw Civil War on Saturday and I really liked it. The action was great but I have to say the beginning was a little slow yet fast. [sp]Basically the new law getting in effect pretty fast with all this action going on.[/sp] From the middle to end it was great. [sp]Spider-Man was fucking amazing. Although he was shoehorned into this movie the fact he's the best on screen Spidey makes up for it. Same could be said about Ant-Man but he was another character who boosted the humour and awesomeness.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Menien Goneld;50331905]I also think it would be good material for a story, but I don't think the character will be ready to even attempt to do that for a while. I really think after Civil War that [sp]Bucky needs to have some kind of brain-fixing event, and something just to give him the perspective to move on from the Winter Soldier.[/sp]I think that's what we're going to get, and I'm sure if he has a 9 movie deal, we'll see him with the shield at some point. Personally I don't think he should [I]be[/I] Cap though. Trying it and taking on the mantle is good, but I'd prefer it if he did it for a short while, but then ultimately realised that it wasn't for him. Basically it's my preference and understanding of the character that he's better suited to a role that is more morally grey.[/QUOTE] Give him earplugs that he can put in when people start saying "rusted"
It's simple let's cut his fuckin ears off The loss of hearing will boost his eyesight to wear he will practically hear better than all of us
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50334630]It's simple let's cut his fuckin ears off The loss of hearing will boost his eyesight to wear he will practically hear better than all of us[/QUOTE] I dont think that's quite how it works there, Daredevil.
[QUOTE=Pops;50332646][sp]The accords aren't about identity, it's about regulation of activity. Also, I don't think tony really filled peter in on the situation, other than telling him whoever was aligned with cap was the enemy. Also also, that video states the rest of civil war's outcome will continue through phase 3, up to avengers 3.[/sp] [sp]Also also also, I think if anyone can help Bucky, it would be Dr. Strange. I'm not familiar withthe character, but magic.[/sp][/QUOTE] I have a feeling [sp]Spiderman didn't register[/sp] though
I think a movie where Falcon and Bucky decide who gets the title and why would potentially be amazing.
So does anyone have any statistics showing the opening weekend for civil war as compared to other films?
boxofficemojo does
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;50335934]I have a feeling [sp]Spiderman didn't register[/sp] though[/QUOTE] But that's what I'm saying. [sp]There was no registration since the governments pretty much know who every Avenger is. Spider-Man isn't an Avenger just yet.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Pops;50337326]But that's what I'm saying. [sp]There was no registration since the governments pretty much know who every Avenger is. Spider-Man isn't an Avenger just yet.[/sp][/QUOTE] Neither is Antman or technically Hawkeye yet [sp]they were put in prison with the rest of them[/sp]
One thing I forgot to mention. Maybe two. The action choreography was top notch, amazing. What I need to point out is how every character didn't feel out of place. Not everyone was given the same amount of screen time but the writing gave each character motivation, character moment that made everything feel right. Not like Age of Shitron.
Spiderman felt sort of out of place, story wise. [sp]Stark out of the blue, never mentioning him before to anyone, goes to him to help in a single battle that couldn't have been predicted? Invests all that time and money to quickly build a top-notch suit for him, just to say "okay, time for you to go home" after the battle when Cap and Bucky are still 'on the loose'? Not to mention, did Spiderman sign the Sokovia Accords - if not, then Ironman literally helped another hero break the law[/sp] The more I look back on it, the more it feels Spiderman was shoehorned in. It's just that the Russo brothers are so damn good at writing that you don't see it at first, which kudos to them for that.
the worst line in Civil War is Spider-Man's Empire reference. I refuse to believe someone as nerdy as Peter Parker doesn't know Star Wars, or it's cultural significance. It wouldn't be a 'really old movie' to a geek like Peter.
It's not like they couldn't have just straight said "Hey, remember Empire Strikes Back?" either since both franchises are Disney now.
He's probably like 15 and despite liking the movie would likely describe it that way to adults he doesn't consider nerdy. To him it probably seems like an underground classic [editline]17th May 2016[/editline] Also spider-mans more book worm and real science nerd than pop culture nerd from what I've seen

Amish or a culturally naive kid explaining something to adults he doesn't consider nerdy
Pretty sure the line was only there so Rhodes could bring up how young he was. Quite a few times in that fight they brought up his inexperience, that was just another one.

It wouldn't be a 'really old movie' to a geek like Peter.[/QUOTE] I think he was doing it to be annoying. Mostly to get a rise and remind everybody how young he is compared to them. But remember if Peter is 15 we can assume he was born 2000/2001. I imagine to anybody born after 2000 that any year in the 1900s is 'really old'. The Star Wars films are old to me born in 1993. It wouldn't be out of the realm to describe it as 'Really old' if you were born in a different century. That doesn't diminish their quality or cultural impact. My favourite album is Abbey Road and I'd always describe that as "really old". We all have a problem with him describing it as really old but every kid I know who's seen it literally can't see the problem. We're getting old guys, embrace it.
Was there a reference to the Red Room when [sp]Winter Soldier was on top of Black Widow and she says "don't you recognize me?"[/sp]
You have to remember episode 3 came out when he was 5. Seems he doesn't really use the computer, dumpster dives for older stuff, and his age group factors in. It could just be the peers he is around don't rave on about star wars. Also, the big fan base behind starwars might not even be a thing in MCU. I mean they have superheroes in their everyday life, a story about aliens is probably just another story.
He's 15, he's prone to the influences that are prevalent in his direct environment, I seriously doubt Uncle Ben and Aunt May are the "let's go watch a Star Wars marathon" types. Look at where he lives and what he's into, he's probably one of the people on r/starwars going man this shit is sooooo fake, Lucas made a fantasy movie with metal hobbits c'mon bro there's no science is this fiction smh lol topkek lmao

[/URL][/QUOTE] Hopefully this means we can get an explosive and satisfying end for the show next year. As much as I enjoy it I certainly don't want it to end on an abrupt cancellation. Excited for tonight's finale though. Presume it's gonna be May exploding in that ship going by the arm patch
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;50337784]Neither is Antman or technically Hawkeye yet [sp]they were put in prison with the rest of them[/sp][/QUOTE] Because they [sp]were fighting on cap's side, and got beaten to the point that they were captured. Hawkeye broke his retirement, and Ant-Man got dragged into it, both could have refused, same goes for Scarlet Witch. Spider-Man was also a sort of secret weapon that Tony used as a last resort, he's a vigilante at this point, not an Avenger, so he had nothing to do with the Accords. I don't get what you don't see with that, Tony was given 36 hours to bring Cap in, and knew he would need help. It's also fairly obvious that Tony will be in Spider-Man Homecoming, he wouldn't start giving Peter all this tech and not pop in to see progress.[/sp]
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50339349]Captain America[/QUOTE] Was a soldier in WWII. Stronger and better to fight, yes, but at the end still just a soldier. If anything, he's comparable to commandos in WWII which no one considers real life superheroes today. He really doesn't gain a "superhero status" until after he thaws.

They specifically said it applies to "enhanced" people, not solely to the Avengers. Spiderman is an enhanced that clearly has not signed the papers.[/sp]
[sp]The Accords do only apply to the Avengers because they're the only super group at this point in the mcu and are the only figures known to the public, everyone else is working solo/underground. We might see something with the Accords once the Defenders happen, but that isn't for another year at least.[/sp]
