I have a question: If Tony had never become Iron Man, would Nick Fury have still introduced himself to him, ultimately giving him Howard's "hand-me-downs"? Why didn't Fury give Howard's research work to Tony sooner?

Tony was prob always on Shields radar, weapons development etc. He just got their attn when he became Iron Man. His pops stuff was secret men in black stuff, no privileges to Tony till he became a man in....red and gold....lol

Yeah it's gonna be a big summer for Hemsworth. The Avengers will be huge, Snow White could do great, and Cabin In the Woods has gotten a lot of positive reviews. And the more popular he gets it can only help Thor 2.

Agreed! Cabin in th Woods is in my 'must watch' list, btw.

The reason why I say it could be both, is conservation of detail. Why introduce two phlebotinum elements when you could have one do the trick? As for it being a "known" element, Vibranium was known *to Howard*, yes. That doesn't mean anyone without top ranking SSR/SHIELD clearance necessarily knows about it, especially if the only sample known to western science was lost during WWII.

Tony being able to create the stuff wouldn't really make Wakanda any less special, either. So Tony can, with a fair bit of effort, create a few ounces of the stuff. Maybe he could scale up his procedures, and make a pound or two at a time. That still pales besides the Wakandan supply, if its anything like in the comics, because the Wakandans can mine it by the ton.

This. You said it much better than I could have. That's exactly how I feel, and I'm sure it all will tie into the Tesseract and the cosmic side of things slowly being introduced into the MCU.

EDIT: I do have a detail about Avengers that isn't supposed to come out until April, but I think it offers another plausible explanation. Let me see if I can get away with saying it first

It wasn't for me until I saw the trailer recently. I thought it was your standard horror film but Joss & Drew Goddard seem to have put a new spin on it.

Agreed, and if Wakanda is like it is in the comics and they don't let outsiders in then Tony and SHIELD wouldn't know about the huge supply there.

As a sidenote for anyone interested, Cap's shield doesn't have adamantium in it. It's a vibranium/steel alloy.

I had the same impression at first.

 

[Danalys]

if there's one thing comics have it's a lot of different phlebotinum. in the MCU gamma and vita rays are already treated as different so i don't see why unknown element and vibranium can't be different.

Came across this: Iron Man 2 novelization, "discovering this new, powerful element. Stark thought to himself, since it absorbs vibrations I should call it Vibranium." Contradiction! lol Can't confirm, don't have the book.

 

[Danalys]

that is written in the book but the authors padding is irrelevant.

 

[Poni_Boy]

Regarding Avengers...

[BLACKOUT]IF Loki gets the help of a certain yet to be named alien race by offering them the location of a certain powerful resource they have been searching for, would that automatically mean the Tesseract (that Loki himself needs) or could it be another power source entirely?[/BLACKOUT]

Yes it clearly calls it Vibranium in the book but no one studio related has confirmed how much of the extended scenes from it are relevant to the MCU. Once again, we are at an impasse haha

hmm. arc reactor?

 

[Poni_Boy]

re poni boy [BLACKOUT]infinity gauntlet[/BLACKOUT]

Nope. [BLACKOUT]That's still up in the air at this point. It's why they cut the spotlight scene from Thor (which really ticked off the guys who spend four months creating it haha)[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Danalys]

well that's something to ponder.
