Line 13:
* ''[[Iron Man (Film)|Iron Man 2]]'' (2010)
* ''[[Thor (Film)|Thor]]'' (2011)
* ''[[Captain America:
* ''[[The Avengers (Film)|The Avengers]]'' (2012)
Line 37:
* [[Action Survivor]]: Agent Coulson seems like an average government agent with no outstanding abilities shown so far beyond basic [[Badass Normal|Badass Normalcy]], yet he's managed to survive attacks from both [[Iron Man (Film)|Iron Monger]] and [[Thor (Film)|The Destroyer]] practically unscathed. Also, [[I Know Karate|he knows kung fu]].
** {{spoiler|His luck apparently ran out in ''[[The Avengers (Film)|The Avengers]]'', although there's enough ambiguity that some fans insist [[He's Just Hiding]].}}
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Takes elements from both the 616 and [[Ultimate Marvel|Ultimate universes]]. For example, [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]] are being [[The Ultimates|formed by SHIELD]], [[Ultimate Universe|who are headed by a Nick Fury portrayed by]] [[Samuel L Jackson]] [[Marvel Universe|whilst one of his Lieutenants is Maria Hill]] and the team's first major crisis {{spoiler|involves Loki, [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|who was the initial reason the team formed in the]] [[Marvel Universe]], and the Chitauri, an [[Alien Invasion]] from [[Ultimate Marvel]]}}.
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]]: The movie franchise as a whole plays with this:
** Averted with Iron Man who is a cool ladies' man and Thor as long as he stays in Asgard where he's a celebrated hero (when he first went to Earth, he was seen as insane and probably homeless).
** The Hulk generally gets as much hate and fear as his status as a giant rampaging monster would logically warrant.
** As for Captain America, he struggled to gain respect even after becoming the pinnacle of human perfection. While things changed for him, he now has to struggle as a [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]].
* [[All
** ''[[Iron Man (Film)|Iron Man]]'': [[Robert Downey Jr|Robert Downey, Jr.]]; Terrence Howard; [[Jeff Bridges]]; Shaun Toub and Gwyneth Paltrow.
** ''[[The Incredible Hulk (Film)|The Incredible Hulk]]'': [[Edward Norton]], [[Liv Tyler]], [[Tim Roth]], Tim Blake Nelson, Ty Burrell and William Hurt.
** ''[[Iron Man (Film)|Iron Man 2]]'': Downey, Paltrow, Don Cheadle, [[Scarlett Johansson]], [[Sam Rockwell]], Mickey Rourke and [[Samuel L Jackson|Samuel L. Jackson]].
** ''[[Thor (Film)|Thor]]'': Chris Hemsworth, [[Natalie Portman]], [[Tom Hiddleston]], Stellan Skarsgård, Colm Feore, [[Ray Stevenson]], Idris Elba, [[Kat Dennings]], Rene Russo and [[Anthony Hopkins]].
** ''[[Captain America:
** ''[[The Avengers (Film)|The Avengers]]'': Downey, Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Hemsworth, Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, Cobie Smulders, Skarsgård and Jackson.
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The scene with {{spoiler|Tony Stark}} at the end of ''The Incredible Hulk'' gains new context thanks to an extra on the ''Thor'' DVD (See the entry for [[Batman Gambit]]).
Line 81:
* [[Hero of Another Story]]: Many of the movies tease that there are other superheroes out there, [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]] pops up in ''[[The Incredible Hulk (Film)|The Incredible Hulk]]'', [[Nick Fury]] has appeared at least by name in every film so far, Hawkeye as an Agent of SHIELD in Thor, etc.
** ''[[Captain America the First Avenger]]'' features a blink and you'll miss it appearance by the original Human Torch as a statue at Stark's expo (doubles as a [[Mythology Gag]]).
* [[Hey
* [[Live Action Adaptation]]: Obviously.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Bound to be several considering their comic book origins. A few in particular come to mind:
Line 138:
** And the second big [[Wham Line]] of the MCU; not so much for what's being said as who it's said ''to'':
{{quote| {{spoiler|''The Other'': To challenge them is to court death... ''[cue [[Thanos]]]''}}}}
* [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?]]: Averted. Everyone with gadgets has a good explanation for where they got them. More often than not, these weapons are built by a member of the Stark family or designed by SHIELD.
** To the point when the [[Wrong Genre Savvy]] SHIELD agents suspect the same of the [[Magitek|Asgardian Destroyer]] in ''Thor''.
