Zemo realized he's a character in a Captain America movie, so his whole plan hinges on Captain America triumphing and he and Tony setting aside their differences to fight the real villai- no, gently caress you, Bucky killed your mom, I win.

Apparently the inhumans on Agents of SHIELD are going to be required to register under the act, so that's not entirely true.

I'm just curious why Sharon's name is also Carter. I thought Peggy only had one brother, who died childless. Did Sharon's dad just happen to also be a Carter? Did Sharon choose to go by Carter out of respect for her awesome great-aunt?

Thor doesn't get nearly enough love, in my opinion. I love that it's basically a tragedy with Loki as the doomed hero, succeeding in stopping Thor from becoming the destructive, warmongering king of Asgard, only to consequently become exactly that himself.

Cap didn't know. Whether you choose to believe it's honest ignorance or willful self-deception, that's up to you, but Steve says he didn't know, and there's no reason to disbelieve him at that point.

Tony makes a move to Bucky just as the tape ends, Cap places his hand on Tony's shoulder, "Tony Tony"

A sullen Tony collects his thoughts for a moment before looking into Cap's eyes, "Did you know?"

Cap, "I didn't know it was him"

Tony, stirring with anger leans in a bit as his eyes brim with tears he's holding back "Don't bullshit me Rogers, did you know?"

Cap, "Yes."

Tony shakes back a step, clearly heartbroken by the news. He gives the moment a pause, then strikes Cap and the fight with Bucky begins.

I interpreted it as:

"Did you know [my parents were murdered]?"

"[Yes, but] I didn't know it was [Bucky who did it]-"

"Don't bullshit me, Rogers! Did you know [my parents were murdered]?!?"

"...Yes."

We've seen the Cosmic Cube/Tesseract, the thing from Thor 2, and the Gem from GotG. I may be forgetting something but I think that's it.

The Tesseract, the Aether, the Orb, and Loki's sceptre, unless I'm mistaken. Doctor Strange will probably introduce one.

We haven't seen any good candidate for the time gem, I think, so I'm holding out hope for GotG2 being a time-travel adventure.

I don't know if that would be a good idea or not. Given that Guardians of the Galaxy was entirely about accepting and letting go of the past, I feel like having the sequel be about being able to travel to the past might be either retreading or invalidating the message of the first movie.

According to Wikipedia (so, y'know...), the Tesseract is the Space Gem, the Aether is the Reality Gem, the Orb is the Power Gem, and Vision's bindi is the Mind Gem. That leaves the Time and Soul gems. Given the supernatural nature of Doctor Strange, my money would be on the Eye of Agamotto being the Soul Gem.

That does not cut early. When that video ends, the credits roll.

I mean, say what you will about Amazing Spider-Man 2 (and don't get me wrong, there's a lot of bad things to say about it), but that's a really good scene. If it had been a prelude to an actual fight, I think we'd be posting it as an example of what that movie did right rather than what it did wrong.

Silvestri did the Avengers theme, not Elfman.

ELfman's AoU score is incredibly forgettable I think.

Elfman's Age of Ultron soundtrack was the first one that tried to really integrate the distinct themes of the individual heroes. You get variations on Brian Tyler's Iron Man and Thor cues and even a bit of Silvestri's Cap March towards the end. And, of course, Elfman's Avengers theme acts as kind of an evolution or extrapolation of Silvestri's original Avengers theme.

Is there anything at all that could make poison ivy actually interesting?

Work in some pathos and body horror. The best Ivy story, in my opinion, is the cartoon where she genuinely wants to settle down, go straight, and start a family, but her solution to that is to create plant clones that start out as her children, quickly age to adulthood to pose as her husband, then devolve into mindless plant monstrosities before dissolving into a puddle of goo.

Ronan fits in well with the themes of Guardians of the Galaxy (loss and moving on). He's a terrorist who's motivated entirely by the sacrifices of "my father and my father's father". He can't move past that loss, so it festers, poisons him, and makes him callous and destructive. Quill, on the other hand, overcomes Ronan by finally letting go of his tragic loss (his mother) and taking his place as the head of his new surrogate family.
