I assumed Peter was like me and expecting old people to not know what he was talking about, so he dumbed it down for them.

If the directors had wanted him to be joking they should have done another take. It was just a voice over anyway, no expensive reshoots or anything. They didn't have him deliver a joke though, only the setup.

Remember that in the MCU the UN has actual power. It may seem similar to our world cosmetically but everything is really different.

He does know Empire, he just doesn't assume the other guys know it. There are generations (not his) of people who held a "Star Wars is for nerds" position until recently.Nodosaur posted:I assumed Peter was like me and expecting old people to not know what he was talking about, so he dumbed it down for them.

Rhyno posted:Okay, instead of favorite flick, what is your #1 favorite moment in the MCU? "He mighta been yer father but he weren't yer daddy." Honorable shoutouts to Steve Rogers jumping on the grenade, also Cap and Iron Man arguing about whether it counts that Vision lifted Mjolnir

Steve jumping on the grenade is probably the most badass, heroic moment in all of the MCU.

That was the best possible way to end that movie.

The final moment between Vision and Ultron is definitely worth a nod. Vision: You're afraid. Ultron: Of you? Vision: Of death. You're the last one. Ultron: You were supposed to be the last. Stark asked for a savior and settled for a slave. Vision: I suppose we are both disappointments. Ultron: Heh. I suppose we are. Vision: Humans are odd. They think order and chaos are somehow opposites and... try to control what won't be. But there is grace in their failings. I think you missed that. Ultron: They're doomed. Vision: Yes. But a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It's a privilege to be among them. Ultron: You're unbearably naive. Vision: Well... I was born yesterday.

One of my favorite moments was the party in Age of Ultron where Cap just barely lifts the hammer. Hemsworth sells the "oh poo poo" look so well. A more recent favorite was GotG2's sequence with Yondu and Rocket set to Come a Little Bit Closer.

His death was handled really well and I wouldn’t want it reversed, but I’d kill to have seen Yondu in Infinity War. Michael Rooker is a treasure.

"And the Avengers? They went home." "Vengeance has consumed you. It's consuming them. I am done letting it consume me." It's actually pretty remarkable how well Holland and Boseman sold their solo films in Civil War. And that both turned out pretty great.

Did you like Chris Hemsworth's foray into comedy? Did you like his chemistry with Tessa Thompson in Ragnarok? Well, I have news just for you!! Looking like they'll be fresh recruits and Will and Tommy will hopefully be their mentors and take them through training

I've said before that while Avengers is the crossover and Civil War is a solo film that also managed to throw all the action figures in a box, Homecoming is the movie to me that feels like it takes place in a fully realized Marvel universe. It doesn't have to set up anything at all, there's nothing for it to build. It's just this already fully-realized thing because of the previous 20 movies or however many there are. There are few sequences that make me grin like that guy with the funny high voice. "Hey, you're that guy on Youtube!" "Call me Spider-Man!" "Okay Spiiiiiiider-Man.....do a flip!" Also, right before Get Help "Loki I thought the world of you."
