Are you asking webber? Let's see if the button works: Captain America has super strength in this movie! EDIT: It's working. Let's hear them. I'm going to see the movie again tonight because I had to leave the theater room in the middle of the film for a minute to crack down on some unruly teenagers. Chaperon status and whatnot. It's cool though, I was able to see the movie for free. Ooh, and then there's the second mid credits scene that I missed.

I've seen the film too, probably the best Marvel Studios film yet. Interested to see the impact that the film will have on the MCU.

I definitely agree. Speaking of the film's impact, I'm a little behind on Agents of SHIELD. Those who have stuck around are starting to be rewarded little by little. I don't think the show will ever be amazing, but the tie ins are starting to be more significant. With this one, it changes a lot of things. I can't say more than that without using the spoiler button, and there's the A.O.S. thread for that. Interesting side note: Sony just dropped a Stark Industries reference in their little viral campaign. Apparently Oscorp lost out on a government contract for a flight harness to a company based in Los Angeles with New York offices. 8O www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=97499Also, here's a Box Office Update: www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=97569$270 million world wide opening weekend. Damn. Batman and Superman is still a bigger draw, but this is definitely not looking good for either party. They both seem to be looking at long term gains.

Okay, here we go. * I did still expect Pierce to be revealed as Red Skull, but I guess it would have been too expected. And while I did expect SHIELD to be infiltrated, I did not expect Zola or HYDRA to be involved. * So Pietro and Wanda are "miracles" instead of mutants. I just wonder how this will play out and if more miracles will show up. I mean, making them inhumans would have been easier, but with miracles, is there still potential for some X-Men like team in the MCU? You know, I just realized what it could lead to: Avengers Academy. I think we talked about this before with Harley in Iron Man 3. * I did wonder what ever happened to Loki's scepter from Avengers, and I still think the glowing thing in the center is an Infinity Stone, the mind one to be exact. * I hope they found the shield wherever it fell.

Yeah, I thought that miracles thing was pretty neat too. Do you think Arnim is done? I absolutely loved having the character show up, but it did seem like a proper send off. He's so funny, my gosh, the impressions some people do of that character. Also, about the infinity stones, how many have shown up thus far? The blue "mind" stone, the ether, the tesseract... were all of those stones? If so, what the heck does the ether do exactly that's different than the tesseract? It looks different and destroys stuff differently, but both open up portals, and we haven't seen much beyond that. Marvel hasn't really been to clear on those things. On a completely different note, Haley Atwell's return was fantastic. Not gonna lie, I was pretty moved. It was just so well done. The flashbacks and visiting her in the present. This post is everywhere. Last question for now, what did you all think about the second mid credits scene?

Okay, let's see. We have the blue Mind stone, the Tesseract is the Space stone, and the Aether is the Power Stone. And it's been confirmed that the orb everyone is after in Guardians of the Galaxy is another stone, though not what it actually is yet. So we're 2/3 of the way there.

Concretely, what do "miracles" even mean? Are they saying that they got their powers inexplicably? And should we keep using spoiler tags?

The only regulars who haven't commented on seeing the movie at this point are lopli, Caveboy, Spazz, and alien, so... I dunno. That's kind of an equal amount who haven't. Screenrant did an entire podcast (lasting over an hour) on this movie where they discussed that at length (among several other points), but because I was doing other things while listening, I didn't fully catch what they were saying. Better safe than sorry I suppose. I think they are talking about scientific breakthroughs made possible by alien tech. Those breakthroughs involving human experimentation and what not

Interesting. Is that just a conjecture or theirs or do they know something we don't?

It seemed like a conjecture, but they do get insider information since they are press.

Better go quick, it might get harder to find a theater with it in a week or so.

I could always wait for the dvd. I like the theater experience better, but if I have to, I will wait
