As I was watching this movie today, I realized it's one of the most important film in mcu. It has tons of elements that are used heavily in future MCU films, eg
Fleshing out Hawkeye
°In this film we get to see the other side of Hawkeye, we learn about his family, who would played a vital role to his character's dark turn in Endgame.
°This movie also solidifies his relationship with Black Widow which makes her demise in endgame even more impactful.
°He also inspired Wanda to shake off her past and become an Avenger.
The arising tension between Steve and Tony
° Things started to get sour between Steve and Tony, after him and Bruce accidentally created Ultron and also Vision. And the destruction of Sokovia at the end of the movie is also one of the main reason for the Sokovia Accords, which are all part of the reason that split the superheroes in two sides in CW.
Intro of Scarlett Witch and Vision
°Vision and Scarlett are both introduced in this film, and they both would go on and become crucial members of the Avengers.
Thanos had enough
° The events of this film upset Thanos so much that he decided to "do it himself" which foreshadows the event of Infinity War.
Avengers as a unit
°It's also the first appearance of the Avengers functional as a team. They're not just meeting and building the team like in the first Avengers, they aren't split like in Civil War and Infinity War or broken like in Endgame. They're just out there taking on bad guys, hanging out, and fighting evil robots.
Hulk/Bruce banner story arc
°Bruce Banner started having problems transforming into the Hulk in this movie which keeps recurring in Infinity War, until ultimately resolved at Endgame.
°Hulk buster armor
°At the end of this film, Hulk left on the quinjet which from there, you know, Ragnorak.
Wakanda/ Black panther tease
°Klaw is first introduced in this film, he would go on to become one of Black panther's main villain. Wakanda and vibranium are mentioned as well.
Black widow's arc
°Flashback scenes of Black Widow's years of training might be further explored in the her upcoming solo movie.
Ragnarok:
°Heimdall first teases Ragnarok and the fact they will lose in Thor's vision, which prompted him to fly back home to Asgard.
Ironman to save everyone
°The visions of defeat he saw in this film haunt him, but he was, in the end, able to use that fear to defeat Thanos in Endgame, thus saving everyone.
°Captain almost picking up Mjolnir.
°The first mention of the word "Endgame".
At the time of its release it was met with mixed reviews mostly because it was too muddy, yeah it had to to tell its own story, all while setting up the next four years of Marvel films. This movie deserve nothing but our utmost respect. 🙌
