Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

What grade would you give the Marvel Cinematic Universe? (Ever-Changing Question)

Working titles are often times not even remotely close to the actual title of a film. Usually they are intentionally vague and non-connected cause the studio is attempting to keep hush/hush on a project.

That being said, we know a GotG2 is coming and a working title of anything other than GotG2 is at least cause to pause. So, why Guardians 3000 and NOT GotG2 or some uber hush/hush working title?

With all the cosmic elements that will be in play by the time of the sequel and Infinity War on the horizon it's fun to speculate that the TIME GEM could be in play. Thus bringing in the GotG 31st century counterparts a.k.a. Original GotG team into play. Feige has already altered Yondu to be in the present, maybe he goes into the future IF the Vance Astro led team shows up? Seeing Starhawk, Charlie-27, Nikki & Martinex on the big screen as part of a cosmic struggle would be awesome!!
That name does definitely lead to lots of speculation. I think I read somewhere that through all sorts of time travel shenanigans the modern GotG were actually named after the 31st century group. Maybe they'll do a reverse of that, and have the modern Guardians somehow run into a 31st century group inspired by them.
 
I just saw Age of Ultron. I'll probably go back and read the spoil codes tomorrow, maybe for this thread and the Agents of Shield thread, but it was pretty good.

The only problem I saw was the easy rap up. I had a feeling it was going to have an Empire Strikes Back ending, with them loosing.
 
So does anyone think that Theta Protocol that Coulson is working with in AoS is connected to
Avengers training centre shown at the end? They do need lots of bunk beds over there..

Well...
I rather suspect it was getting the hellicarrier up and running as a refugee evacuation platform. I mean that "some old friends helped me get her out of mothballs" line seemed fairly implicit to me. ;)
Or it could be both. It's not like they're mutually exclusive possibilities.
I thought about AoS when fury said "some old friends helped me get her out of mothballs" too. Between Coulson and Hill, everything Shield needed was probably acquired by them. For a second, I thought the "Hacker faster than Ultron" was Skye until it was revealed it was Jarvis. Maybe in the next episode Skye gives him a hand.
 
There is some first concept art that has been released showing off Tony Stark's next armor.
I am not familiar with the story behind it, but I understand the Bleeding Edge Armor is nano tech based and stored in Tony's body when not in use?
Anyway it looks pretty cool.

That seems a bit ridiculous, even for these movies. Suitcase suits and missile suits and suits that drop from satellites is all well and good, but suits made of nanobots seems pretty far out there in comparison.

Eh, suitcase suits and missile suits are pretty much already ridiculous. Personally, I'd say a nanobot suit makes considerably more sense than that suit from IM 3 which could be completely disassembled and still have every individual piece capable of independant cross country flight - I mean every piece would have to have its own power source and individual computer and flight control systems...
 
I guess the only problem I have conceptually with the nanobot tech is them being stored inside his body.
How does that work? Where does the mass of the metal go then?
i mean, when it assembles it is still a a solid metal casing with thickness and mass and weight, right?
That sifting through his body, even dissolved into tiny individual particles should outright kill him,
Well, maybe it get's put into a parallel dimension or something, who knows, right? ;)

Stark is working with a indubitably godly energy source. I also bet that he was trying to show up Thor with his summoning abilities.

"See, I can do that too." - Tony
 
The suit always did have capacitors throughout it to store energy from the Arc reactor instead of always having a direct feed, the schematics on the Jarvis readouts show some of them in IM 1 and 2.

In IM3 he gave each "section" a smaller but properly independent capacitor with micro-repulsors, designed to be a single unit but communicate with the overall suit.

It probably means the entire suit has to be worn long enough to charge it all correctly but after that, unless sections with a weapon as well use that power, they're all carrying quite a bit of power.

Same place Batman keeps all of his utility belt stuff, in his cavity. The one they search when they do a cavity search.

Yeah, the whole storing it inside his body thing does seems a little out there, even for the movies. I could see them going with the nanotech's non-armor form being something he could carry around with him though. I could see a pretty cool visual where he's surrounded by bad guys, and pulls out a metal ball or cube, throws it up in the air where it disintegrates into a cloud, which then covers his body and solidifies into armor. That strikes me as exactly the kind of thing the movies might go for.

Yeah, I was thinking something like this would be a good update to the emergency suitcase armour concept from IM2. The kind of thing he wears under his clothes when he's in civies (like say in Civil War) as protection. Think along the lines of a harness or something that looks like a kevlar vest but is just a reservoir for some exotic mimetic vibranium nano-slush that can form into a full suit in moments.

The only trick is where he might conceal an arc reactor on his person now that he's had the surgery. I suppose it's possible that the cavity is still there and he's just fitted a cosmetic plug that can still hold an arc reactor if need be.
 
FEIGE TALKS CONTRACT, DEATH AND IF MARVEL'S MOVIES WILL TAKE A "DARK TURN"

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/feige-talks-contract-death-and-if-marvels-movies-will-take-a-dark-turn

TL;DR
Lastly, Feige clarified that he has no intention to ever take a "dark turn" in the MCU. He wanted to make this point clear as he stated that fans approach him consistently asking him when the Marvel movies will go "dark." He stated that even though trailers may feel ominous, the movies will not have that feel and will retain their trademark sense of humor. The report states that "the humor is in the DNA of the movies, there are no plans to change that."
