But before he unleashed the nuke to destroy Loki's Chitauri invasion fleet, Stark was struck with fear at the overwhelming size and scope of the alien invasion force. And Tony assumed he was going to die; he had made the decision to sacrifice himself and Stark was shocked that he miraculously survived.
But that entire ordeal left Tony deeply scarred, and several subsequent MCU movies dealt with the fallout of Stark's survival in The Avengers.
Bruce Banner Mark Ruffalo. Stark was so fearful of all of the enemies that could attack Earth that he decided what was needed was " a suit of armor around the world" , which led to the grave mistake of creating Ultron James Spader.
The fact that Scarlet Witch Elizabeth Olsen gave Tony a vision of his worst nightmare coming true in Avengers: Age of Ultron made his emotional state even worse. Tony was obviously coping with mental health issues during Captain America: Civil War , and he revealed to Steve Rogers Chris Evans that Pepper Potts Gwyneth Paltrow left him, which, compounded with the Avengers breaking up because of the Sokovia Accords, left Tony feeling vilified and more alone than ever.
Ultimately, the fallout from the Battle of New York and the events that transpired afterward made Tony see how little control he truly had, which made him attempt to assert control even harder, creating even more problems. Tony did have personal bright spots, like becoming Peter Parker's Tom Holland mentor and, after Thanos killed half of all life in the universe in Avengers: Infinity War , Tony was one of the few who found salvation in Avengers: Endgame by marrying Pepper and becoming a father to Morgan Stark Lexi Rabe.
While Tony Stark survived a horrific kidnapping in Iron Man , he turned that into a positive that launched him into his destiny as a superhero.
It's a classic movie trope to have such characters disappear into darkness, but considering that Daredevil is blind and doesn't see with his eyes, many fans thought this was a plot hole bigger than the giant hole Daredevil finds in the middle of New York City. However, there's really a straightforward explanation to the ninja trick. The show had established that members of the Hand have the ability to slow their heartbeats and lower their body temperatures in order to mask themselves from Daredevil's super-senses.
Thus, turning out the lights was merely a way to escape from the more mundane eyesight of Elektra. Sure, this might've seemed pretty silly at the time, but after examining the evidence, the scene makes a whole lot more sense in retrospect.
Now, if we could only figure out what that actual hole is all all about For better or for worse, Avengers: Age of Ultron is a movie jam-packed with characters and events. The film introduced us to the Maximoff twins, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, plus we got to witness the surprise revelation of Hawkeye's family.
Somewhere along the way, though, we lost some of the motivation for our favorite characters. For instance, while visiting Hawkeye's hidden home, Thor suddenly decides he has to fly off and do some god stuff. This results in an awkward scene that unsuccessfully sets up Thor: Ragnarok , but it does successfully show off Chris Hemsworth's muscles. But after that, we don't really see Thor again until he dramatically crashes inside Stark Tower to bring the Vision to life.
Because Thor seemingly had no way of knowing how to bring Paul Bettany's body to life or even where his friends were, many people think this is a plot hole hiding in plain sight in the middle of the movie. Of course, Thor's weird story isn't a plot hole, but the full rundown of what happened might have a runtime that rivals Age of Ultron itself. The short answer is that Thor consulted the Norns , beings similar to the Fates , who conveniently give him advice while he takes his mid-film bath.
So why don't we see any of this? Well, that's because Joss Whedon's first cut of the film would've fit right in with Middle-earth, as Age of Ultron was originally over three hours long. As you might expect, Marvel executives wanted some judicious cuts, and after audiences reacted poorly to different versions of the Norn cave scene, Marvel turned the sequence into the fragmented mess that we've got now. But why not just get rid of it altogether? According to Whedon, Marvel insisted on having this cave scene hey, Ragnarok isn't going to set itself up , and they threatened to take out the awesome scenes at the farm if Whedon didn't include the Norn segment.
So audiences ended up with a scene that just created a whole lot of confusion instead of providing any answers. But there's also a shirtless Chris Hemsworth, which probably made the whole thing easier to watch for quite a few audience members.
Captain America: Civil War is a movie that definitely gives the audiences what they want. Even though the film is famous for the airport battle in which all of the heroes slug it out, Marvel knew that, as with Batman v Superman , audiences were mostly here for the title bout between our two heavyweight heroes. So the end of the movie involves a knock-down, drag-out fight between Iron Man and Captain America.
But what prompts the showdown? For plenty of the people in the audience, this was a plot hole, as we never see Captain America uncovering this explosive information.
The truth is that Captain America has had ample time to put this information together. In an old Army base, he discovers that Red Skull's mad science buddy, Arnim Zola, was inexplicably still alive as a computer program. Trying to distract Captain America long enough for an incoming missile to kill our heroes, Zola is happy to spill the beans about Hydra infiltrating S. During his monologue, we see scans of old newspapers flashing across the screen, one of which mentions that Tony's parents were killed in a car accident, strongly implying that Hydra had them murdered.
Considering that Zola turned Bucky into an unstoppable assassin, the Winter Soldier-Stark connection becomes pretty clear. But if you're still not convinced, remember that Captain America receives a detailed dossier about the Winter Soldier near the end of the movie, which should've helped eliminate any doubts about all of the horrible things Bucky did against his will.
One of the defining characteristics of Luke Cage in his titular Netflix series is his fear of going to jail. The man even goes so far as to work under the table or bow to Cottonmouth's pressure when he thinks there's a risk of ending up behind bars. As the series goes on, however, this frequent plot point seems like a frequent plot hole. We see that Luke Cage is bulletproof and super strong, and it seems like no prison could actually contain our hero.
Why, then, is he so frightened of going to the big house? Luke's fear of jail is actually rooted in several real concerns. Can you get any reference confirming this?

Also the dialogue is very comical and playful, with Loki's "this usually works" and Stark's "2 out of 3" comment", the scene is clearly poking fun, and meant as comic relief. Now that its clear from the director that the arc reactor prevented the possession of stark, does he offer any explanation why Loki wouldn't possess other avengers as he did Hawkeye?

That is actually a pretty interesting theory. Stark does have a heart. The Arc Reactor does not replace his heart, it simply keeps the shrapnel from entering his heart and killing him. Zoneman: In addition, he has heart in the other sense of the word, too - he cares about others deeply, though he pretends not to.
And all these time he couldn't get rid that damn shrapnel? Jim Thio - Does get rid at the end of Iron Man 3. How he goes forward with his new deal should raise comments after Age of Ultron debues. Pobrecita 7, 7 7 gold badges 38 38 silver badges 74 74 bronze badges.
ThomasG ThomasG 1. The arc reactor is powered by a completely new element. The new element was supposed to be the re-discovered fictional element "Vibranium", I believe. I'll see if I can find a source on where I read that. Howard Stark had worked with Vibranium for Captain America's shield, but they had used up all that they had in the shield itself.
If the element were Vibranium then Cap's Shield would glow like the Tesseract and the element in the Arc does. Also, Vibranium would be available from Wakanda, rather than having to synthesise it. It would also explain why Thor's magic boosted Tony's power while Vanko's electrical plasma drained it. My source was here: link and it claims the novelization of the movie says the element was vibranium. I don't have the novel so I can't confirm this, but the Wikipedia no longer has that information it seems.
Cap's shield wouldn't necessarily glow especially since in canon I think it's an alloy , but your other points are valid and very interesting! Upcoming Events. November Topic Challenge: Samuel R.
