I even feel a little pit in my stomach when Zemo deletes his wife's voicemails from his phone at the end. Even though he's the villain he's also just a guy who lost his innocent family and when she disappears off his phone it's like then in that moment she becomes truly dead. I think the reason it hits me is because I know I'm also the type of guy who would keep recordings like that and torture myself by listening to them over and over if a family member that close to me passed away.



I agree that the airport battle is simply the most joyfully exuberant "comic book" moment in the history of film. And not just all comics, Marvel comics in particular. Iron Man, War Marchine and Spider-Man zipping around Giant Man brings to life all those covers where teams like the Fantastic Four swarm big giants like Galactus.

Yeah, the emotional scenes popped more for me at home while the action didn't miss a beat from being ported over for home consumption on a smaller screen.


Yep. And for whatever reason I just crack up every time Spidey is swinging around Giant Man's arm and Rudd says "Get OFF!" Rudd just sounds so genuinely frustrated but in a totally normal regular guy, "I just walked through a spider web and am trying to get the strands off but now it's been a couple minutes and I'm just getting annoyed" kind of way. :lol

The only only only time I raised an eyebrow in the entire movie was when Hawkeye easily broke spiderman's webbing handcuff on Cap.

I was ok with it being split in half but I just kept wondering how did it also dissolve all the webbing by the next scene because there was none left on his wrists. :lol

But that doesn't even come remotely close to the eye rolling Falcon free fall into a helicopter in TWS so i'll just forgive the wrist webs. :lol
 
Technically Star Wars was always "the saga" until so much time had passed that it appeared that George would never make any more. 1990 gave us the first VHS "trilogy" box set. But nevertheless, I hear you. And I certainly don't "count" the prequels but rather see it as a four film series now (big shock, I know.) However for the sake of acronyms on the internet I do still default to "SW OT" for simplicity just like everyone else.

We know that at some point there will be more Captain America films but right now all indications are that there will be no more solo films starring Chris Evans, which will make the current three every bit as much of a compartmentalized trilogy as the SW OT. And the Cap films do not need the rest of the MCU as TWS references TFA more than it does The Avengers and CW references TWS more than any other Marvel film. They really do flow seamlessly into one another.

Well it was Russo Cap so he probably just ate the remnants of Spidey's webs after Hawkeye freed his hands. :lol
 
**** just withers away in his presence. :lol

If Cap KO's Thanos with a punch to the jaw and Thanos falls back into his chair unconscious i'm walking around the theater with my hands up.

You guys are always picking on the fall into the helicopter in TWS, but the jump through the glass window is what gets me.

:lol:lol:lol

I was surprised it was Bucky who crashed that copter on purpose instead of Russo Cap slamming it onto the tarmac.:)
 
Spidey's web can be very inconsistent in all the films. Sometimes the web is strong enough to stop trains and carry large heavy objects, but then suddenly it's easily broken by ALL the villains or opponents. Spidey should have been able to beat CA easily too, but then again, Russo CA also beats IM in the same film, so clearly he's stronger than the traditional CA. He can break the web probably.
 
Spidey took a pretty good beat down from Cap during that Queens/Brooklyn scene so he wasn't too shabby. If anything they should've at least inserted a quick scene of Spidey shaking it off, but nope he took it and kept moving.

Watching the film again I think that Cap knew that he got the best of Spidey with some surprise moves but that it wouldn't last if they kept fighting. Hence Steve making the jet bridge fall on him so he could make his escape.

but then again, Russo CA also beats IM in the same film, so clearly he's stronger than the traditional CA.

Movie Cap is indeed stronger than comic Cap (comic Cap can't kick pickup trucks into people or bring down helicopters by doing a pullup on a skid) but regardless he did not defeat Iron Man one on one. Tony had Steve on the ropes and would have won had Bucky not distracted him at the last critical moment.

Snyder would get it right :chase

They are gonna need to set the tone and establish the threat of Thanos early on. And I think the best way of doing that is for him to unceremoniously take out Cap or Iron Man. No long speeches or dramatic goodbyes. Just treat one of them like a bug. . .gonna happen. And no reviving from the grave.

Too GoT for the MCU. Fans would ***** about how unceremonious it was and they're all about pandering so I doubt it happens.

I support the motion though.
 
What I actually expect is a c lister like Michael Douglas or John C Reilly to almost beat Thanos somehow, then get offed in a melodramatic, heart wrenching send-off.

And then be revived at the end of part 2.
 
They could pull a Transformers: The Movie and have Thanos with no Infinity Stones take on the team and kill Cap early on. Then he *gets* the stones which would really make audiences say holy ****.

He could "kill" Vision who is supposed to be very powerful. Plus Vision might have one of the stones on his head, so...that should be a brutal death.
