Tony / Stark Industries was worried about the tech being used to make super soldiers, so they got rid of it (after healing Tony and Pepper). Uncle Boogeyman posted:I mean what do you mean by "still?" He hasn't shown up in a movie since then. He's in a lower-body brace at the end of Civil War. This would be completely unnecessary with Extremis.

He mentions that it is going to be a while before he recovers and he might not ever be at 100% again. Why not just give him some of that stable extremis?

They also used a completely unrelated sci-fi healing machine to fix Hawkeye in Age of Ultron, so they've got a few options.

He's required to have been dealt a rotten hand so his unwavering endorsement of Tony's policies comes across as stronger and more genuine. "I'm on your side" has more impact coming from a guy whose life has been permanently changed by that very decision.

Maybe if you're worried about your magic heart/skin/spinal cord regrowing tech being used to create super-soldiers, don't give that tech to the guy who is literally a soldier who has greater loyalty to the military than to your vigilante supergroup? It's not like Rhodey even asked for the suit in the first place, he straight up stole it.

Given how badly the last fantastic 4 movie went the villains would be really cheap to include. Or just film the Batman crossover issue inviting back all previous Batmans and once and for all end the "not my batman" issue.

Even if he doesn't want to share, you can apparently prevent exploding by using a taser?Marvel Movies Wiki posted:the stun weapon developed by Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons used on Michael Peterson when the 'Centipede' Extremis was about to destroy him provided a 'shock treatmet' which rendered the virus' instability inert, but did allow the enhanced abilities (such as super strength, stamina etc.) to remain.

It was a cuh-raaazy drug cocktail / genetic experimentation / cybernetics combination that had extremis as part of the drug cocktail. Also, the taser was not a traditional taser, it was a cryogenic round from a pistol. #ComicBookScience

Finally saw Civil War and I'm amazed by how much the BvS memes apply at least as well to it: -no color -dour, sad all the time (except for quips I guess) -the evil plan doesn't make much sense Iron Man even has similar issues with his mommy and daddy that are causing him to act like a psychopath. Instead of a debateably cringey resolution though, there's just nothing.

The Evil Plan theoretically makes sense if Zemo actually knows enough about the personalities involved by being a good intelligence agent. The only bit he can't plan ahead is Iron Man showing up at the very end, but his end goal was probably just post the video somewhere or send it to Tony, him showing up just makes that last bit easier. His plan is basically; frame the Winter Soldier so that Captain America does something stupid, use this as a distraction to get to the Winter Soldier bunker, gain a copy of the mission video, somehow show it to Tony Stark, shatter the Avengers. The four lead characters are all motivated in some way by feeling like they failed an important person; Tony failed to say goodbye to his mother, Steve is in danger of failing to save Bucky, T'Challa failed to protect his father and Zemo failed to keep his family safe. But how they deal with these failures is the interesting bit, by the end of it the only person who has meaningfully resolved his own problems is T'Challa, Zemo may have momentarily broken the Avengers but he failed to die in the process and his work will presumably be reverted at some point, Steve has become a fugitive to protect Bucky who is voluntarily being imprisoned within ice anyway, Tony has caused even more strife amongst his close personal friends and gotten someone else injured, whilst T'Challa doesn't take vengeance, instead he moves past that and by the end of the movie is the only one to have a positive character arc. The other points are pretty accurate though, it's why I personally find the Airport fight really fun to watch, even if from a story point of view it's jamming all your action figures together because you can.

Also, in a shocking first for a comic book villain, Zemo actually tries to implement his plan in the simplest and most direct way by trying to get the Hydra general to talk in the first 5 minutes. Framing Bucky is plan B after he drowns the general. And I liked that the end of the movie is basically "Tony, Steve, T'challa, and Zemo are all flawed people haunted by their past. T'challa is the only one who moves on and the rest want to go down with the ship." Zemo's superpower is that everyone is a broken person and he knows it.
