Amph "You think you're the only superhero in the world?" - The Marvel Cinematic Universe

The plan basically required turning the helicarriers on each other and then causing them to crash. Not going out over the ocean and then crashing them.

S.H.I.E.L.D. did have an oversight problem, but as far as Ross is concerned, the Avengers were more problematic than an organization that's now gone. The Avengers caused the destruction as much as HYDRA and Loki.

I've see the same thing with other adaptations. I own "Batman Returns", "Batman Forever", all three issues of "The Real Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters II", "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" and the first issue of "Robocop 2". Sometimes, they're not worth it and sometimes they are. GB II being the only one worth it.

Then Thanos destroys him with the Gauntlet.

 

The movie actually addresses this in a logical way. People are afraid of having superhumans running around unchecked and the chaos that the Age of Heroes is bringing. It doesn't matter how much logical sense thinking that more control would prevent (indeed pretty much all the examples provided were war zones that the Avengers had no fault in), but it's what people want.

 

But regarding the helicarriers, that's a good point about sending them to the oceans, but did they have the means to do so? I think it's safe to assume that HYDRA had loyal agents flying the helicarriers, plus other members of STRIKE, while Captain America only had The Falcon, the Black Widow, Maria Hill and Nick Fury. Maybe if Thor and Iron Man were involved, but that would risk even more death and destruction. Of the bad options, their plan was probably the "best."

 

The thing is, superhero registration doesn't even make sense. Enforcing registration is dependent entirely on having enough heroes on your side to do it for you. But what if Tony Stark wakes up one day and decides to change his mind? This just goes to show that the Superhero Registration Act was toothless to begin with...it requires the heroes to cooperate voluntarily.

 

I think The2ndQuest made a good point. The Accords would also allow the authorities to arrest superheroes who didn't comply.

 

Right and with more gifted people showing up, it isn't hard to replace those who decide to go rogue with someone who will follow the letter of the law.

 

Has anyone noticed that the artwork/slipcover for Doctor Strange currently showing on Amazon appears to imply that there will be a Blu-Ray/DVD combo set? Very much doubt it will happen considering the combos were axed after The Avengers release, but I wish ...

 

Iron Man 3 got a combo pack. Wasn't Thor: The Dark World the first not to get one?

 

Whoops, looks like IM3 did, in fact, have one.

 

Yeah, I got a used copy of it. Was really disappointed that the DVD wasn't included, but for only a few bucks, I'll tolerate it (assuming that the Blu-Ray actually works).

 

Yeah the 08 Hulk is considered part of the MCU so it does seem like a missed opportunity.

And where is Iron Fist?

They should have a team up movie against the Hulk.

 

Yeah, it almost seems as if Disney wants to acknowledge TIH as little as possible. Could it possibly be due to something as petty as rights issues or even the change of leads?

 

Didn't Ruffalo mention "breaking Harlem"?

 

I can't be expected to read!

edit: And in my actual defense, my work network blocks random image sites, so that image is only showing on mobile for me.

 

No AoS mentions of Harlem.

 

Maybe they all have amnesia?

 

Yeah, it's a rare disorder called Redimiculum Rubens.
