It seems like that guy's plan to get Iron Man to watch a VHS tape was a little convoluted. He could have just put the tape on youtube and Iron Man would have seen it.

When the Secretary of Avengers Affairs was showing the video of collateral damage, it's all footage of entire cities getting destroyed, but it's the laughably small crater in the corner of a building in central Africa that's the last straw.

Also, are the Avengers the only inmates in the top secret floating superprison? What a waste of money. How do they justify the construction, operation and manning costs to build a submersible Azkaban just to hold five people? And then it can't even keep Captain America from breaking everybody out at the end! Even though, I'm assuming, it was specifically designed to stop superheroes from breaking in/out. What a piece of poo poo.

All in all, it was much better than Age of Ultron, but still actually a bad movie.

her "sister" was actually her daughter who was born out of wedlock but this was kept secret by the family for fear of being ostracized by the community, he is actually her grandson hth

I don't mean having a secret daughter out of wedlock and pretending she is your sister is cool, I mean that it's cool that the writers would include that detail about Peter's family instead of going the usual route and having him be the product of a "normal" nuclear family like everybody else.

The mountain isn't the secret hideout, the entire country is. Techno rwanda is extremely isolationist and also the most technologically advanced country. Black Panther's black panthering is an open part of his identity within the country, so he can king it up ostentatiously with no need for camouflage.

They had almost all of the world's vibranium deposits and rather than allowing white men to come in and take it they closed their borders and invested it all in education and development, building a technocratic paradise, but for some reason allowing the rest of africa to stay as it is in reality and also not sharing their future tech (including all sorts of life saving medicines) with the rest of the world.

I figured it was designed to hide it from the Hulk, Thor, etc. but it still felt dumb because you could stick Captain America, Black Widow, Tony Stark, and Hawkeye in a super max prison anyway. Just take their poo poo away and don't let them having anything metal or electrical in their cell. What're they gonna do? Punch through reinforced concrete walls?

e: you could also just shoot them

Is this explained somewhere in the movie? Because my willing suspension of disbelief was stretched pretty thin that some central African banana republic has holo displays and cryo hospitals.

His powers are just being in the best condition, mentally and physically, that a human being can be in so he still couldn't escape it. Unless the writers decided he could which is how superhero movies are written.
