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).

I agree with that also, Kalshane, but I think
it should have gotten more of a casual treatment. Like Halley Berrys delivery of the frog/lightning line, the gag got too much relevance. It should have been off the cuff and background, something that evoked familiarity and familianess. I might have made that word up. It felt just a touch out if step. And also, Cap may be a square, by he is a soldier and has heard plenty and has been shown to have gotten over his culture shock in WS in shorthand (arguments can be made as to whether that encompassed everything or just some things (pop culture)).
It reads as prudish, which movie Cap has never struck me as, and if he's not, as movie!Cap insists about it just slipping out, then why did it slip out? It feels contrived, and a gag based on a false character note.
And yet, the Fury payoff was the only line that sounded true.
Steve felt exactly right to me (which, really, would be my dealbreaker issue if he didn't), but I agree about Tony.
Yeah, he's my dealbreaker issue, and he felt off. I wasn't impressed by how Whedon wrote him in Avengers, either.

Yeah, that's how it hit me. He's not the team's nanny.
He was a little too self-righteous for my taste in Avengers.
Someone on Tumblr said that the only reason they know people need to guard their language like that is if they're around kids a lot, so in my head, Steve is the one who has to wrangle the rest of the Avengers when they're mobbed by kids. You know, at the annual Halloween party they always throw in fanfic.
The only time I liked the language joke was when Natasha said something and Steve grinned and said "Really, Romanov?" (or whatever the line was) That felt like the banter of people who knew and liked each other.
Moved from Premium:
I just finished Daredevil and have thoughts and feelings.
I am gutted about Ben. and unhappy about Wesley. Ben's wife is really something.
I love the genuine chemistry between Foggy and Matt, especially in their flashbacks.
I do not get Vanessa at all.
There were many HSQ moments.
I love the way this is filmed and the color pallet reminds me of Tom Scola photos!
Almost everyone's characterization in AoU felt off to me, except for Hawkeye. The only thing that felt true to Tony's character was the little
"Please be a secret door"
bit.
I watch too much RuPaul's Drag Race because I heard Mac's line about the red headed multiplier as being about a lot of "Ginger Minjs" and I was really excited about that!
The only thing that felt true to Tony's character was the little . . .
I loved his little, barely audible
"Yay!" when he found it
