I think this illustrates a failure of imagination on the part of the writers of Civil War though, primarily.It's pretty basic writing that if you want to give an impression a character is doing something, you find a way to write it in. Which doesn't seem to have actually happened. The idea that you can just claim a guy is "doing good" without in any way showing it is one of the failings of a lot of recent MCU movies, and illustrates, I think, a bit of a failure to understand their own genre - it's clear they know it doesn't have to be all-action all the time, but what they do spend time on can sometimes be questionable.That's a pretty silly question, isn't it? (Because this is the internet, I will clarify that the answer is "yes") It's not even an effective piece of rhetoric, because all you're demonstrating is how forgettable these movies were. As I said re: IM3, it's such a bad movie I've basically blocked it from my memory lol.Sure, but the company is still running and still somehow making money, and it's very unclear whether it's just Tony who has stopped making weapons to sell, or whether the company also has, and what counts as "selling".Yeah I remember that and I think made reference to it earlier, but it doesn't seem like anyone else has arc reactors except the girl who independently came up with them, which given they seem to be miniature fusion reactors, should be rapidly and completely reconfiguring society. File under "failure to follow up on their own world-building", I guess, which is an increasingly towering/tottering pile with the main MCU.I mean, they seem to be really taking him in that direction with the more recent news, but that's for another thread I guess!</blockquote>
