They went a bit further than that. They nuked the Marvel universe.

I agree with this, he was always more fun then Thor himself imo.

Horse-Thor

Didn't Loki give birth to a horse monster?

It's been hinted at that Beta Ray Bill was in the The Collector's museum on Knowhere. There was also a skeleton of a horse-headed type alien on Morag, when Star-Lord goes to retrieve the Orb from the vault.

The hammer actually says (paraphrased) that whoever wields it gains the power of Thor not that they become Thor.

I don't mind that the wielder is female, I mind that they said that she is actually Thor by doing so.

If I have the power to fart lightning and fly because of a hammer, I may have the powers of hor, I don't have the right to use his name. Perhaps someone should tell marvel that.

Loki became a woman and got forced to mate with a spider horse and gave birth to its baby.

Ah, the lighthearted Norse stories.

I think he means the time he turned into a sexy mare and 'distracted' a stallion a little too thoroughly.

And that's where Sleipner, Odin's 8 legged horse, came from.

Didn't Loki played a prank on Thor's hammer making the shaft shorter then it is suppose to be?

Hello Crossbones... He looks badass!!





** Edit:

Here's Falcon, his costume looking slightly more like the one in the comics (probably kitted out by Stark)

Crossbones has Fallout 3 style power fists.

Uhh... you sure about that?

Both looking awesome! That's the same Falcon gear at the end of AoU, isn't it?

Honestly don't remember.

Funnily enough the actor was upset that he wasn't able to wear the original falcon armor.

First image of Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther in Civil War...

Spoilered cause its a big photo..

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I'm sold. I don't see claws, I only see a black costume with pointy ears. Waiting for a better image. But it just feels...meh? I guess that's the best word for it right now. Hoping for a better image soon-BP is awesome and deserves justice. Plus he shares my initials!

Remember that in these kinds of films, they generally have anywhere from 2-5 different versions of the same costume for different shots.

This could be the "stunt" version.

That's also 'only' the stuntman version of the suit too, most likely?

Behind the scenes photos almost always lack the polish and finishing touches of the produced photos so it really isn't a shock he doesn't look complete. Hell, I doubt we'll see the crew and the wires in the completed shot but here they are in this one.

Agreed, I'm underwhelmed but this is only a production shot, so I'm not judging yet. With the exception of Cap's spandex suit in Avengers Assemble I can't think of a Marvel costume design that doesn't look excellent, so I expect the final version of this will have a lot more to it.

There's another couple of shots that were shown seemingly confirming that it's Chad Boseman not a stuntman in these photos.

OK, I'll clarify - it is the high risk wires required stunt performing suit, and not the close in acting suit, most likely?

Or, as already noted, just a pre-final production shot, so no worries yet suit?

Was just clarifying that there are more photos of the suit than just this one--and they pretty much all agree with you in that it's a stunt suit.

I think he looks like a Power Ranger

No, the power rangers look like Black Panther


Didn't he usually have a cape though, or am I thinking of Moon Knight?? Not that ditching the cape isn't a good idea. Anyone who's seen the Incredibles knows that capes are functionally a bad idea

Sometimes he does. Sometimes he doesn't. IMO he looks better without. And yes- Incredibles does raise a good point about capes (as does Watchmen come to think of it- Dollar Bill gets his cape stuck in a revolving door and gets gunned down)

Eh, the MCU needs more capes! Vision has the right idea, just creating a copy of Thor's out of... Whatever it was he made it out of.

I think a cape would sit well with the idea of BP being both a superhero and a king, but I can see why they might not use it on every scene... Or maybe they will, half the time Superman's cape in MoS was CGI, so they could be doing the same with BP.

In The Watchmen Moore was trying to have a grounded look at heroes; the only one in the comics with actual powers barely relates to humanity and the others are vigilantes with various levels of mental disorders. The Incredibles was done for comedic effect and it wasn't the first time that it had been joked about either.

I don't think this version of the Black Panther will have a cape.

And that's a good thing!
