Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

It's true. Hawkeye's contribution is the ability to deliver a thing to a precise target from a great distance. He's the team sniper.
People undersell the ability to hit a precise target from a great distance. Precision targeting killed the Death Star.

Part of this is because I was actually really disappointed by Avengers 2. It was an alright action film, but it just wasn't what I was hoping, and had some glaring plot holes. Here's hoping Ant-Man and Cap 3 will be better.
I'm curious to see if/how they're going to write out "Deus ex Machina and Jean Grey" from Cap 3, because those two new Avengers are just so much more powerful than everyone else.
I really liked Andy Serkis as Klaue. Hawkeye and Quicksilver had a fun dynamic with each other and others. Falcon stole every scene he was in and two he should have been in.

Plot holes? The only one I found is, well, how exactly get the Avengers around? They have this one plane, but somehow Tony is able to be in Norway posing as a selfie-background while everyone else is in Soul and then Clint brings the cradle to New York and Steve and companions somehow manage to follow. How did they even leave the country?
How Cap, Witch, and Quicksilver got to Avengers Tower so quickly is actually a great question and one I never thought about until now. Huh.
How Iron Man got to Norway is easy. Even if you ignore the easy answer that they dropped him off before heading on their way, the Iron Man suit has been capable of supersonic flight since the first movie in the entire MCU franchise introduced the Mk.III.
Iron Man and Thor never need an explanation for how they got from Point A to Point B.

I guess I never saw it that way because they cut a scene in the first movie in which Tony first has to find a reason to travel to Dubai in order to be able to take care of the village under attack. But I guess he did manage to fly to Germany in The Avengers so he should be able to fly to Norway....
Still doesn't answer the other question, though.

There is. I assumed it was posted here because Avengers Assemble is a Recursive Adaptation of the MCU.

Don't ask about Tony and Pepper's sex life.

Well, he did have a lead-foil arrow (for dealing with the Radioactive Man).
My favorite will always be the boomerang arrow, though. Because...boomerangs.
