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.

A groin attack is certainly painful, but it is still impossible for a man to kick a woman in the balls because the equivalent to said balls is less exposed for a woman. There is also nothing which you can "squeeze together" in a sense, so I go out on a limp here and suspect that while a groin attack is painful, it is less painful than a kick into the balls. Also based on a fact that I have seen men in real life react to an accidental punch at this particular part of the anatomy, and considering how strong the reaction already is when there is no power behind it (a woman would react with an indignant "oww"), I would say that this is the one thing in fighting were the woman has the biological advantage.

A successful groin attack to someone with a vagina would be a lot more painful and debilitating than a groin attack to someone with testicles. But getting a direct hit on the testicles is substantially easier because they're so exposed.
The reason it hurts less for people with testicles is because the balls are actually in the way of hitting the nerves responsible for both legs, which, in a fight, are far more valuable.
He could always send the Stark Industries interns to fight him.
I think the purple mask is most likely going to come later since I get the impression that he's going to be a recurring villain in the MCU. Sort of like how Crossbones was your standard Hydra agent (if an exceptionally skilled one) in the Winter Soldier but switched to something a lot closer to his traditional costume in Civil War.
@ Mad Skillz: Ah yes. Shanghai, Japan. Not to be confused with Kyoto, China.
... also, that's two years old.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.A certain someone
was going to be the subject of one of the Civil War stingers, but they cut him.

Mostly just clickbait but Tumblr will explode if this ever happens.
Yeah, I was going to say.
Tony Stark should have all the physical powers of a fifty year-old pampered jillionaire who treated his body like garbage for the overwhelming majority of his life.

Ukraine gets some awesome Civil War posters.
