Marvel movies weren't simply the epic heroics or the grand tales that made it possible. Little aspects, particularly those concerning weapons and fighting, contribute to the overall experience that distinguishes these films. Just ask some of their most ardent supporters. In Captain America: Civil War, for example, if you look closely at Tony's Mark 46 Iron Man suit's wrist, you'll notice that it contains a miniature arc reactor.
Moreover, when Thor attacks Thanos in Avengers: Endgame, he always aims for the head—a critical lesson he learned in Infinity War. There are even cases that appear and disappear in a flash. Doctor Strange has his soul knocked out of him briefly by the Soul Stone when he fights Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War. Below are the 15 fascinating details in weapons and fights from Marvel movies.
"In Endgame, Cap always cushions the flight path of Mjolnir while Thor grabs it outstretched. Cap is used to adjusting for the Shield's recoil while Thor knows Mjolnir comes to a stop at his hand."
"In Spider-Man: Far From Home, the fire elemental actually leaves bullet holes after hitting Nick Fury's windshield."
"In Infinity War, Thanos uses the power stone against Tony Stark. Tony uses a nanotech shield to block the blast, depleting the nanobots in Tony's suit leaving the suit vulnerable to being stabbed soon after. In Endgame, Tony upgrades to Wakandan holoshields to avoid compromising the suit again."
"In the fight for the throne in Black Panther, Killmonger chose to fight with a spear and a sword whereas T’Challa fought with a spear and a shield. This symbolizes Killmonger’s imperialistic goals vs T’Challa’s “fight when necessary.”
"In Iron Man, Obadiah struggles to make an arc reactor small enough to fit his armor. In Civil War, we can see a small arc reactor in tony wrist watch showing how far Tony developed his technology."
"In Spider-man Homecoming's bank fight scene, Peter's grippy hands remove the flooring as he tries to avoid getting thrown around. He then grips onto the underlying concrete and resists the pull."
"In Spider-Man: Far From Home, when the hologram Mysterio is giving the glasses back to Peter he is holding the glasses like the gun the real Mysterio is using to try and shoot Peter in that moment."
"In Guardians of the Galaxy, Yondu's arrow travels using a direct, precise trajectory. After switching to a prototype fin in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the arrow's trajectory becomes more erratic."
"In Ant-Man and The Wasp, the scene where Sunny's guys are shocked, the one with a chain in his mouth has electricity flow through it."
"In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor, Loki, and Hela all unsheathe their blades in the same way, paying homage to their upbringing."
"In Doctor Strange, after Kaecilius manipulates reality and causes Strange & Mordo to fall against the bus, Stan Lee’s character can be seen reading The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley."
"In Captain Marvel, when Monica is changing the color of Carol's suit she first chooses a combination of red and gold, the same colors of DC's Shazam, who was previously known as Captain Marvel."
"In Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos temporarily knocks Doctor Strange’s soul out of him after using the Soul Stone."
"In Avengers: Endgame, Thor only aims for the head when fighting Thanos."
"At the end of Captain America: Civil War, the only marks on Cap's shield are from Black Panther's claws since both are made of vibranium."
