It's clearly implying that JARVIS becomes Vision on Earth-199999. It sure saves money on hiring another actor, I tell you that (they might be doing it again if Vin Diesel plays Black Bolt). Luminous Obscurity posted:A reporter will angrily ask Captain America if he knows anything about MySpace and everyone will ask what MySpace is. It's more likely they ask about Tumblr which will only cause Cap to blush because he went there once and it was nothing but homoerotic photoshops of him and the other Avengers.

The MSJ posted:It's more likely they ask about Tumblr  There's a quasi-infamous bit from the Civil War storyline where a reporter is grilling Captain America for being out of touch with mordern America. She uses examples like him not knowing anything about NASCAR or MySpace because those were some things that were popular when the story was written. This is presented as this biting critique against him and he's totally burned by it. It was very silly.

I the premise of Civil War could make for an interesting movie or two... but yeah there aren't that many superpowered humans in the movie universe right now. Even the SHIELD TV series only added like a couple dozen.

Keep in mind that by the time a Civil War adaptation is even on the table, there'll be a fair few more Marvel movies and Agents of SHIELD will have like 4 or 5 more seasons under its belt. In addition, the Defenders Netflix shows will all have come out and possibly had second or third seasons, introducing yet more characters to draw from. I wonder if Marvel could put Spider-Man into Agents or one of the Netflix shows to troll Sony, since they own the rights for everything but film.

Civil War was a brilliant concept ruined by the temporary and juvenile nature of comics; despite it being a realistic and terrifying possibility for that world, everyone reading it knew that in six months, everything would be back to normal. Also, the editors and writers were fuckin' terrified of telling a story with far reaching consequences where both sides were good guys, so suddenly the pro-registration crew became moustache-twirling villains who were totally fine with loving over long time friends and it devolved into "how can the good guys punch the bad guys the best." At its core, it's an awesome concept of "what if in this conflict there's no bad guys" but ugh, comics. It might work in a movie, or a TV series, if they had the balls to change poo poo dramatically from the comic book story, but you'd need a level of narrative complexity that I just doubt would show up.

My favorite part was probably when the X-Men declared themselves neutral. It made absolutely no sense. The law would have applied to all superpowered beings, it was based on the same act they fought for years and now, were they would actually get support from the wider superhero community for once, they decide to opt out.

While I thought Civil War was one of the best things to happen to comics in recent years, I did not like the Fifty-States Initiative thing that spun out of it. It was just bizarre in concept. The government in Civil War only wanted to suppress unsanctioned superheroes and regulated licensed ones, which seemed reasonable enough. In the Initiative, they are press-ganging random superhumans into becoming soldiers. This includes a teenage girl named Cloud 9, whom they traumatize and turn into a killer. This is sort of thing has been done before... by villains. Now the show was being run by veteran superheroes. It was not just a little creepy, it was downright inhumane in many aspects. It was out-of-character for the heroes running it, and illogical for the government sponsoring it.

Then again, they did make the Great Lakes Hero Guys into government-sanctioned heroes.

It's one thing to license a group of existing heroes who are willing to accept government oversight. It's another thing to press-gang random civilians and then make clones of them when they die in poorly-overseen live-fire exercises.

Marvel's A-listers in general don't really have secret identities, aside from Spider-Man. That is a pretty new development though.

The MSJ posted:The official synopsis for Avengers 2 has been revealed. Emphasis mine. The synopsis almost suggests that the Ultron idea could have originally been Pym's, back when it wasn't a feasible to do, and Tony comes across the idea and says "Hey I can totally do that now." So it could tie it all together with Pym still creating Ultron after all.

Detective No. 27 posted:Or like it would matter if the public knew who he was. Well to be fair, if Cap America has a super popular museum (which he appears to in the films, and would IRL if he saved NYC from aliens) then a lot of people would know and talk about his buddies in WW2, especially given that they have their own name and museum walls, and his best friend would probably be at least somewhat known. Not "OMG it's Bucky Barnes" but "OMG this guy was Captain America's closest friend, now he's evil, what could that mean for Captain America et. al..." It could be psychologically impacting for the general public, just like finding out that Churchill and Hitler were in the same scout troop in school and Hitler was considered as awesome as Churchill before the war (dumb example, but y'know what I mean)

That's 100% the speculation right now. A young Pym DID create Ultron and decided it didn't work. Now Stark comes along and thinks he could bring it back but better.

Nah Ultron is explicitly Oedipal since it hates Pym and wants to bone Janet.

It went out of its way to remove any sense of moral ambiguity very early on. So while the rebels wouldn't even ally with the Punisher, Stark was employing long term villains and not even putting them on a leash.

It'll never happen in a million years even if they do adapt that scene but it would be so great to see someone seriously try and say Fin Fang Foom on the big screen.
