EvilDrPuma Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures I would watch the HELL out of an Agent Coulson movie. I dunno. He's a great supporting character, but can he carry a feature film? Part of the charm of the character (for me) is that we don't know much about him except that he collects Captain America bubble-gum cards.

austenandrews Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures As I recall' date=' the only thing Coulson was ever shown not to know was what the BFG did.[/quote'] He didn't know if the Destroyer was one of Stark's. Asgardian tech seems to have been his Achilles heel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMiller Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Every time "Asgardian tech" is mentioned, I throw up in my mouth a little bit. Why couldn't they have just let it stay "magic"? Then they would have already established that it existed and it would be easy to bring in Dr. Strange, or any number of other magic based heroes and scenarios. Not to mention the wonderful banter between Stark and Thor. I think that was a lost opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sociotard Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Because in a world with magic, science would study that magic as any other natural phenomena, and then you're right back where you started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austenandrews Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Because the line between magic and tech really is blurry when you're dealing with Marvel's "cosmic" stuff. Kirby's depictions of Asgard were deliberately modern, with high-tech machines and everything. I wouldn't sweat it, though. I think the point is made sufficiently that any given story could call it magic or alien tech and audiences wouldn't be confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Confoundo Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 Re: "Neat" Pictures Maybe they made a conscious decision that the Asgardians were "Clarkean Mages". No 'Maybe' about it. Jane Foster: Describe exactly what happened to you last night. Thor: Your ancestors called it magic... [Thor skims through a book on Norse mythology] Thor: ...but you call it science. I come from a land where they are one and the same. Jane Foster: [about the mythology book] Where'd you find this? Erik Selvig: The chidren's section. I just wanted to show you how silly his story was. Jane Foster: But you're the one who's always pushing me to chase down every possibility, every alternative. Erik Selvig: I'm talking about science, not magic. Jane Foster: Well, "magic's just science we don't understand yet." Arthur C. Clarke. Erik Selvig: Who wrote science-fiction. Jane Foster: A precursor to science fact! Erik Selvig: In some cases, yeah. Jane Foster: Well, if there's an Einstein-Rosen bridge, then there's something on the other side. And advanced beings could have crossed it! Erik Selvig: Oh, Jane. Darcy: A primitive culture like the Vikings might have worshiped them as deities. Jane Foster: Yes! Yes, exactly. Thank you. -Thor (2011) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
