I say cap is faking it, since in traditional Marvel lore, Cap (and his daughter) is one of the extremely few worthy enough of lifting Thor's Hammer.

What about the MCU makes you think "traditional Marvel lore" means anything here?

Al of it.

Well, you're wrong. In "traditional Marvel lore" Hank Pym built Ultron, not Tony Stark. And Baron Strucker founded HYDRA, not Red Skull. Norman Osborn was the Iron Patriot, not Rhodey. The heroes themselves founded the Avengers, not SHIELD. Darren Cross died in his first fight with Scott Lang, he never became Yellowjacket. Daisy Johnson also wasn't an Inhuman, Nick Fury was a white guy who fought in WW2, etc. etc. etc.

MCU is a mish-mash of 616 and Ultimate Marvel, but taking a crapton of liberties all around. I'm very surprised you didn't notice that.

Last year through a kickstarter they raised over 100,000 to renovate, adding luxery seating and a brand new digital projector; they will be getting Avengers on opening day! But since I work in a restaurant, I don't get to enjoy weekends the way other people do.

**** having to work on the weekends.

Here here!

I'm very surprised you took me seriously. You should know me better than that.

As for all the swearing, I have two toddlers. I won't see avengers until it's in the redbox. **** God damnit.

Is Thor part of the Sword and Sorcery genre?

Okay I won't post any spoilers (even with the spoiler tags).

Was it good? Yes!

I really enjoyed Elizabeth Olson as Wanda, think she did a superb job.
Still on the fence about James Spader voicing Ultron, heck, Ultron seemed a little too humanised for my liking.

Bit of character development for Hawkeye, and I REALLY want to see a Black Widow movie now.

Question ... so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, how many Infinity Gems have been revealed?

As a huge fan of The Blacklist, I'm really looking forward to hearing Spader channeling Red when voicing Ultron, though.

Yeah, unfortunately they channelled some of his mannerisms though, making his movements far too human for my liking.

News Credits: 1 · by **SKYWARPED_128** » Fri Apr 24, 2015 1:59 am

I can see how that would be jarring. Ultron is supposed to have been "born" as an AI and only later acquires a body (I think). Moving like a human would seem pretty unrealistic.

The Tessaract (blue), AKA the Mind Gem, hence Loki's control over Hawkeye and Dr. Selvig; the Aether (red), AKA the Power Gem, which can access all power that has, does or will exist; and the Purple One (purple), AKA the Space Gem which basically grants omnipresence and omnipotence.

We still have yet to see the Soul Gem (green), the Time Gem (orange), and the Reality Gem (yellow).
