Line 170:
* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]
* [[Clarke's Third Law]]: The films seem to be heading in a generally Sci-Fi direction, though [[Clarke's Third Law]] is quoted and specifically referenced in ''[[Thor (film)|Thor]]'', with Thor saying that in Asgard science and magic are the same thing, rather than sufficiently advanced science passing as magic or magic taking the form of a complex science. Furthermore, the semi-magical Bifröst of Asgard is an [[wikipedia:Wormhole#Schwarzschild wormholes|Einstein-Rosen Bridge]] that Jane and her team are studying at the beginning of the film. Loki on the other hand is referred to as "a master of magic" by an Asgardian, so the whole matter is rather unclear. The addition of Dr. Strange and the mystic tradition in which he trained just complicates things. And then there are witches like Agatha Harkness and Wanda Maximoff.
* [[Collectible Cloney Babies]]:
** Captain America trading cards and comics were issued during World War II. In 2012's ''[[The Avengers (2012 film)|The Avengers]]'', it's revealed that SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson had spent several years (and presumably a substantial amount of money) assembling a complete set, which he asked Captain America to autograph.
** Peter Parker and Ned Leeds spend their downtime building LEGO models. Ned actually broke a thousand-piece model of the Death Star that he had just finished assembling after learning that his best friend is Spider-Man.
* [[Comic Book Movies Don't Use Codenames]]: Most characters don't have them. Iron Monger, Abomination, Black Widow, War Machine, Whiplash, Hawkeye, Red Skull... all of their codenames have been referenced only a few times or not at all.
** Averted in ''[[WandaVision]]'' with "The Scarlet Witch", a title and a figure of myth, both of which devolve upon Wanda Maximoff.
