They really failed math with that time skip, lol.


Anyway, Vulture was great. They actually bothered to flesh him out and he was on a smaller, reasonable scale for a villain which Marvel has been neglecting a lot. And I loved that he wasn't a lunatic, just a somewhat petty man looking out for his through criminal dealings. The car and the credit scene with him were both great.

Also, Vulture had 8 years to turn his life around with the stolen tech. If he's still turning to crime for a living after that, he's no longer a sympathetic character imo.

He's basically Walter White.

That's a fuck up on their part. It's 8 years since Iron Man 1 in universe, not 8 years since Avengers. That's 4 years. They need to fix that for the home release.

Yeah everything about that timeskip length sucks. It put some movies into question timeline wise, and it's a ridiculous amount of time for him to be doing this shit (esp for him to not only not have been caught but no one seems to even notice he has done this for 8 calendar years.

Especially since they said the kid Tony saves in Iron Man 2 is Peter... and his age in the movie fits perfectly with the timeline. Moving Avengers time just ruins everything. They should change it back for the home release for sure, but I guess they won't.

The timeline is getting weird now but it's pretty easy to justify Vulture's long-term existence. Everything about the weapons dealing seems like a recent trend as he runs out of resources. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't even think he stole that much at a time from what we saw, just enough to keep his business running. Spidey only just now finds out about him because peddling scifi weaponry to gangbangers is a desperation tactic.

I think a more damning criticism is why the FBI is the solution to the whole problem.

Obviously I meant nothing wrong with him as a villain. Like, really? The OP was complaining about his motive and I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Criminals are usually pretty defunct reasoning wise or they wouldn't be those criminals in the first place.

Exactly, him not being detected isn't weird at all since he was intentionally staying under the radar and the moment that one of his lackeys started firing stuff ofd, he eas detected. I think the FBI being called in was fine. They would have caught most of the guys if Spidey hadn't ruined their surprise attack.

Agents will never be a thing in the movieverse, no matter how disappointing that may be. Same with the Defenders. So even though they should be involved in this stuff, they won't be.

He didn't want to turn his life around. You can easily tell he hates the rich who oppress the poor. So he keeps stealing from Damage Control, and therefore Tony.

It was only the Tinkerer who actually seemed to have any idea how to really make this stuff. I can get on board with one super smart dude who didn't fully capitalize on his gifts for whatever reason. We all know a few talented but under-motivated people.

He probably is registered. His identity is probably in a government database, they probably have categorized his powers and threat-level. He is probably not allowed to operate internationally without approval from the UN.

The Sokovia Accords didn't ban superheroics entirely. It mostly just creates a registration of enhanced individuals and prevents them from operating internationally without approval.

The civil war in MCU is different than it is in the comics. In MCU, there was no need for a "registration" because the identities of all the metahumans involved were already known. The agreement was simply a contract that would allow them to continue to operate but with oversight and bureaucratic approval.

Tony likely got approval for Spider-Man to operate as a local "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" which is why Happy was immediately alerted when he left New York. The Tanker thing was most likely not approved.
