Reviews are starting to come in. I watched a few spoiler free reviews, and it seems like this lives up the hype, and maybe even exceeds it. Now I need to tune out and just wait to see it.
Can't wait. Team Stark checking in.
Is the tree quote from the movie? I've been in the dark, really trying to limit watching any previews for this one. Haven't even read reviews on RT.Probably going to see it in an hour or so. HYPE! HYPE! HYPE!
Team Cap checking in.

I am surprise no one die in the movie
Spidy is super strong(see vs Bucky)
Love the new Aunt May
I think to push the cap/bucky relationship too far
Cap got stronger on every movie
BTW, maybe there should be a spoiler thread. Tagging all the spoiler stuff is going to be a pain in the butt!
When you've hero fighting hero, you can't kill off the future merchandising.Saw it last night, very strong showing. Way better than A1 or A2 and continuous the C2 theme.
A few take
I am surprise no one die in the movie
3x Cap movies in a row that Cap part with the shield at the end.
Spidy is super strong(see vs Bucky)
Did not explain how black cat get his super power from
Worst part of everything.. just saying..Love the new Aunt May
I think to push the cap/bucky relationship too far
I like the twisted ending
Cap got stronger on every movie
Is this the end of hawkeye?
Interesting Vision was the only one serious about killing the other team at the airport with.
Two semi important characters died: Crossbones and Agent Carter. I didnt think a hero would kill another because of how they set it up. It was really more of a friendly philosophical disagreement. Even when they all fought each other it wasn't to actually fight. If anyone was going to die I thought it would be Capt since he died in the comic.
Not just against Bucky, but in Stark's Spidey footage when he was recruiting him Spider-Man caught a 3K pound car going 40mph. They really nailed Spider-Man and Aunt May. Even the end credits scene was excellent. I really want a Spider-Man movie now, and I haven't been excited about that character since Spider-Man 2.
Not straight out, but they did allude a lot to his power coming from his suit. They also said he was trained as a warrior.. so there's that.. Nothing about Panther spirits or herbs like in the comics though.
I honestly don't think Carter's death really matter outside of making the blonde from the last movie more in line with the Carter in the comics so he can have a kinda love interest? It was an odd pointless thing, would have been just as easy to have her feel guilty about spying on him in the last movie to get her help. Crossbones dying did surprise me a bit, but when you've a ton of villains to chose from, one more gone isn't that big a deal.
I personally hate younger hotter Aunt May, kills the Grandmother archtype she's supposed to be. I will say I was amused at Stark saying they need to be put into check as they're harming people and the proceeds to put a child into battle. At the least he's guilty of child endangerment, if not outright abuse. Just saying
Dont forget Panther was beating Winter Soldier without his panther suit. I think they will have some mysticism or a Wakandian version of the super soldier serum supplementing his abilities. Many powers in the Ultimate universe all seem to go back to the super soldier program, including Hulk in the MCU.
Originally she was Peggy's younger sister, but that made more sense in the 60's vs now. In a way its an odd love interest to have because Sharon is related to Peggy. I thought they were going to make her Peggy's grand daughter, but that would be just as messed up. I always liked Emily Vancamp so I dont mind them giving her more to do, but it seems like a role Maria Hill could have filled. BTW, when they kissed and then you see Falcon and Bucky smiling in the VW Bug, that got one of the biggest laughs in both showings I went to.
Well, its actually makes more sense. Marisa Tomei is 51, and Peter Parker is in his mid teens, so it seems fine to me. In retrospect it seems odd that originally Ben and May were so much older than Peter. They were more like great uncle and aunt. Whats messed up is I was crushing on Marisa Tomei when I was in my mid teens and she was on A Different World.
And yeah, that was strange Stark used Spider-Man considering the plot, but in his defense Spider-Man is tougher than anyone in the movie, just unexperienced. I thought it was nice when Spider-Man went down and Stark kinda realizes he's still just a kid and keeps him out of it. Since Stark will be in the next Spider-Man movie it looks like they Peter will be the son he never had. And Pepper is now out of the picture... Imagine Stark trying to be a mentor to Peter while flirting with Aunt May.
I also wonder if they didnt get the rights to Spider-Man if they would have used Daredevil. Maybe Spider-Man makes more sense because Stark didnt actually want to hurt any of the Avengers, and Spider-Man can use his webbing to restrain people and Daredevil just beats the shit out of people. lol
Good point, but to be fair, outside of the Metal arm he's not supposed to be much more than a well trained soldiers, like Crossbones. I get the movie added some magic serum with the other soldiers, but even them he's still someone that could be battled by a well trained fighter. Though I do believe it's the magic Panther stuff that makes him awesome. It's one of my big issues when I discovered what the plan for this movie was. There's just no way you can do justice to all the new players and drive the existing characters forward in that amount of time. Something had to give, and one of them was WTF was up with the Black Panther and his powers. They did allude to it being more of a suit thing though, augmented by super awesome training.
As for Daredevil, my understanding is they want to keep the Netflix stuff in it's own world. They're connected but not in the transition them to the movies. Like the Agents of Shield (I could be wrong here, but I haven't seen them in the movies, and while I'm quite a few episodes behind as it's just not that good, I'm unaware of them doing any more movie ties) dropped into it's own thing. One of the reasons I'm told the Inhumans movie was dropped, it's already being done in the AoS show. My guess, if it wasn't Parker, it'd be some other character they have. Marvel has hundreds of characters they could throw in, and most of them they can do whatever with as they're not popular.
I saw this last night.
I was a huge Winter Soldier movie fan, that movie just had everything going for it. I had concerns CW might have too many characters, and seem overloaded, but wow, nothing is further from the truth. It seemed to have it all! Massive action, really well done action scenes mind you, humor and a good story to go with it. New characters, Spidey is awesome as is Black Panther. Ant Man was excellent as well.
I will be seeing this one again, maybe again this weekend if I can pull it off.
There doesnt seem to be any tech in Panthers suit other than its made from vibranium. I kinda like how Falcon and Capt tried to ask him about the suit and Panther was like "Dont worry about that, worry about what I'm going to do to your buddy". Again, they did such a good job with Black Panther. Not having a straight origin story added a lot of mystery and made him the ultimate wildcard, which is something you dont usually get in these movies.
.I honestly may be remembering it wrong but I do remember them talking about his suit for a moment other than just what it was made from. He def had some tech in it, the claws alone were one. His eyes also looked more techy (technical word there) so I'm pretty sure there's a HUD in there. We won't know for sure until his movie, but I'd be shocked if it was just suit as Wakanda is supposed to be one of the most technical people on the planet. Doesn't make sense that wouldn't be integrated into his suit.
Both Colson, Sif (Thor), and Malick (Avengers) were movie characters that have showed up in Agents of Shield. And events in AoS have had an effect in the movies, although you wouldn't know it if you didnt watch the show. And the Netflix shows reference the movies, and AoS has minor references to chaos being caused in Daredevil. So if they go though the effort of making them connected, I dont know why they dont take the next logical step.
The only problem with the Netflix shows is the tone doesnt match AoS or the Marvel movies. I dont know if you could have a light hearted Matt Murdoch interacting with the Avengers crew then go back to Hell Kitchen and beating guys to a pulp with his bare hands. I'd bet though that we'd see The Defenders crew in one of the Infinity Wars movies. Otherwise, theres no point in having the Netflix shows connected to the MCU.
I know the shows have ref the movies, and I remember AoS attempting to do some cross overish stuff, but not the direct tie ins where you'd see the characters in the movies at this point... maybe Coulson but I doubt we'll see Sky/Daisy the hacker-girl-turned-Inhuman. I could be wrong, but it really looks like they're keeping those brands separate, other than the "yep we're connected but nothing we do matters to the other brands even though you'd think it would."
