Welp..that's EVERYONE who rocks an arm made of Vibranium. Hawkeye too?

Everyone is. Or, as others have assumed, they're all chilling in Wakanda..catching that fever.
That he had sucess after all
Cap also beat it into shit with his shield. Superhuman strength and fancy shield or not, Mark 3 took a hit from an AA shell, fell to ground and only had scratched paint to show for it.

Man, the scene of Bucky taking out Tony's parents REALLY got to me, even knowing what was coming.

It's not invincible. Iron man 1 established that real quick when he went to Gulmira.
They can deflect gun fire of different calibers. But a God with super human strength can do shit to it. And having tons of cars that weigh a shit ton can do damage, and those cars fell from a really good height.
It's not rocket science.
It's not funny anymore.
Yeah it was pretty brutal

So..Vibranium. Ok. Hey, if you find it frustrating, that's all you. I didn't see an issue.

Is Less Than Zero-era Stark less or more impressive than Wall Street-era Pym?
because I saw a still of de-aged Stark and it wasn't as convincing as Pym was, for me.
Keep in mind: I'm old - I saw those both those movies when they first came out, so it's not a matter of being unfamiliar with how they actually looked back then.

Yup. I read already team Stark. I knew Bucky killed his dad. I knew Steve kept it quiet. Watching that shit? Well..I expect my diehard #TeamCap daughter to flip sides right then and there. Shit is pretty intense.
That choke out..FUCK THE WORLD!
Ive never seen Robert Downey Jr before he was in Iron Man... But it tool a couple of moments before I realized who he actually was and when he came near the camera, I was surprised.
But I cant compare, sorry.
Freeman said, your Plan failed
Zemo said, did it?
His plan was to destroy the Avengers and he kinda did
most of them are now criminals after all

They should. RDJ looked even better than Michael Douglas.

That de-aging tech is just prepping for a time when the actors have to move on and they use body doubles, CG, and VOs.

Zemo was really understated but I liked him a lot more than most Marvel villains. And he did, after all, do more damage to Avengers themselves than Loki, Ultron and the rest combined.

There are already people saying Lucasfilm should just tap the Disney checkbook and do it with Harrison Ford for Indy 5.
I can't imagine how expensive that would end up being.

It's funny how the people who succeeded the most in their diabolical plots were Alexander Pierce and Zemo, regular ass dudes

Shit. Just seeing this question. I think the honest answer is Pym. Not for lack of trying. More like there was a bit more of Tony being "still" as opposed to Hank "moving." Add to that they clearly went way younger with Tony. It's not terrible..just a hint less impressive.
As a dude who grew up with RDJ, yeah. I think folks like us will just see it stand out more. Although, as a Jewel and Romancing fan, Douglas still looked weird on first viewing..
Not watching this but saving it for work reference after next week. Thanks!

If Disney/Marvel really did pull that the folks who treat the MCU as the death knell of cinema might have a stroke.

They had more achievable goals and thought them through. And Pierce just played the very long game.

Starring all of our favorite dead stars.
I liked Zemo saying that he realized there was no point in fighting the Avengers since more powerful things than him had failed. His plot was a lot less convoluted than most Marvel villain plots too, and had more to do with people than with super science gadgets. That combined with his scene with Black Panther really cemented Zemo as a top tier MCU villain. On the other hand, the competition in that league is not very stiff at all...

I love Pokken!
I just started downloading it, it worked fine.

See, what freaked me out at first was that I didn't even question it. I just accepted it for a few seconds before it cut to Peggy's bad old-age makeup and that's when the switch flipped and I was like "Wait, holy shit how the fuck are they doing that to Douglas."
That's what discombobulated me so much. I didn't even think to question what I was looking at until after a few seconds, and even then it wasn't the effects themselves tipping me off. It was the cut to Atwell.

Now we need him to return for Avengers: Under Siege.
Yeah, the scene was great.
Also Zemo was a great Villain for the movie, cause he is one of the consequences of the casualties caused by the Avengers. It was good they didn't chose a crazy Metahuman and kept it at a very personal level. At the end I didn't had the feeling that Cap or Stark was right.

Sure. I could see that. Overall, it's done quite well. I think, again, it'll be an easier sell to younger viewers. We've seen what this dude looked like at that age..our eyes are biased.

Bobby Roberts confirmed to hate Hayley Atwell's face
Yeah he did succeed on breaking up the team.
I just imagine Ross would come in his cell one day to ask for his help seeking the escaped Avengers.

Aw fu-DIRECTED BY RIDER STRONG

Honestly I thought Zemo was good, but a little pointless. This film essentially set itself up as a comentary on the ethical implications of Superheroism and Vigilantism. It really didn't need a Villan when stark was the primary antagonist.
What bugs me a bit is how Spidey and Ant-man were recruited for one specific thing each (Spidey to take Cap's shield and Scott waits in the shield somehow?) and after that they're muscles. Tony is a bit fucked up if he recruited a high school kid in a battle against Winter Soldier.

They're both recruited to be surprise X-Factors. They both succeed.
Lang fucks up everything though because he wanted to pull his dick out with the Giant Man thing

Yeah they both made the fight and EVERYONE's reaction to them (varying degrees of "who the fuck is this guy!?") was the best.
But Tony wasn't an antagonist and he doesn't work as an antagonist. He represents the flip side of a political argument. If you make Tony into an antagonist in the movie that's currently presented you're either making the suggestion that the mere concept of super powered surveillance is an inherently flawed view point (something that Man of Steel notably misfired with tremendously near the ending and which draws a host of uncomfortable implications in a real world), or you're going to end up turning him into a cartoonishly unsympathizable person just so it's impossible to agree with him (which is what the comic did).
If Tony was an antagonist in this movie that would be missing the point entirely.
