Discussion of all Marvel Cinematic Universe related movies and TV shows, including, but not limited to, the Avengers, Captain America, Agent Carter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, etc., etc., etc. ad-infinitum.
Discussion of non-MCU Marvel titles like the X-Men or the Fantastic Four is also permitted. Ties to comics may be discussed, but this is not the primary forum for comics discussion (see the Other Media thread).
Spoiler policy: For broadcast TV shows, blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast. For movies and Internet streaming shows, whitefont all plot-related discussion until it's been in wide release two weeks. Posters are encouraged to preface their posts to indicate the subject, particulary if switching subjects.
I figured the "pain in my left arm" comment was a joke
I thought so except he was rubbing his chest and grimacing and looking scared. Either they're setting him up to have heart problems or the writers are real savvy about anxiety attacks feeling like heart attacks sometimes. At least he got a pat on the shoulder from Natasha.
The man has no one backing him up anymore. I've seen so many people dismissing Tony's problems, one said "It's not like somebody with his money needs any help." I guess rich white guys aren't allowed to have PTSD from torture, betrayal, and flying nukes into outer space and mostly dying.
Yeah, I get that he's privileged and his attitude can be off putting. But it's just Tony, Rhodey, and Tony's guilt now, and I think the man needs more of a support structure than that.
He had that surgery to remove shrapnel from near his heart at the end of IM3. I like to think, with no medical knowledge whatsoever to back it up, that surgeons would have noticed major heart disease while they were in there. But Tony canonically has panic attacks.
I haven't re-watched Age of Ultron, but didn't Vision add the cape after seeing Thor's?
While I'm pro-Cap by default, I thought they did a great job of showing everything that brought Tony to where he was. I didn't blame him for what happened in the movie. It all seemed sort of inevitable (Zemo's manipulations just amped it up to 11.)
I blamed him for the early stuff—Tony was apparently involved with the accords well before Ross blindsided the team with them, and as usual attempted to bludgeon through his own opinion without offering anyone else the chance to discuss options or even giving them a heads up. The whole thing would have benefited from input by Avengers who weren't actually responsible for Ultron almost wiping life off the planet.
I don't blame him for what happened at the end, you really can't expect someone to be rational and calm in the wake of seeing candid camera footage of their parents' brutal murders while the person who committed them is standing a few feet away.

Yeah, he did. It was funny.
I guess, if we can't have Katee Sackhoff.
word, Dana
As Colonel Danvers? Colonels have about 20 years of service in the military. I know it's Hollywood, but a late 30s actress would be nice. Unless we're supposed to assume she enlisted right out of kindergarten.
Is she a Colonel now? Last I knew, she was a Major. Though I haven't really kept up with comics lately.
