It looks like the suit is MEANT to look like, from the comics. Also, I loved the motion of the eyes!

 

I was worried we'd get the "Iron Spider" suit that Stark designed in the comic... That thing looked bloody stupid. :s

The eyes really did it for me! 

Spoiler

Supposedly we might see the Iron Spider suit. Word is that Stark might present Spiderman with it during the movie. I didn't read that much into it, because I do not  want to spoil the movie for myself, but I have heard of this rumor more than once.

Iron Spider is in the "Ultimate Spider-Man vs the Sinister 6" animated series -- as well as appeared in a few episodes of the previous seasons -- but I think the costume for IS is stupid for the simple fact spiders have 8 legs, not 7.

It was used in Civil War, too.

I haven't read comics in years, so I wouldn't know that.  I may pick up the occasional graphic novel to read from the library, but the ones I read are not Marvel or DC, although sometimes they may be published from either company but don't fall into their respective superhero universes.

Saw it last night. Very good film. Reviews are spot on. Probably the best Marvel film.

 

Black Panther and Spider Man did steal the show for me. 

 

There are also 2 end credit scenes. 

 

Spoiler

The Mid Credits shows Bucky (now with 1 arm) getting frozen again at Black Panthers home. It seems to tease his solo film..

 

The very end one shows Spider Man coming home after the battle and figures out Tony S has added technology to use web slingers.

I can't understand that why did the heroes fight with each other instead of fight with a common enemy.,.,,but anyways I'm waiting for this movie.,.,.,.:D:D

Ok In the comics it goes like this, a bunch of young superheroes, on fighting each other, blow up an entire suburb and a school.

People get afraid and the US passes a bill which requires all masked heroes to reveal their identity , register and work as government servants.

Iron man side agrees, Captain America side doesn't. So war erupts.

In the movie, I think the UN gets attacked and this sparks the need for registration.

Basically, forced indenture or imprisonment, just because you're different. Superhero race wars.

Not so much race, but because in many cases the "heroes" have the power to level a city, and come on, in almost all of the movies so far, be it marvel or DC, some city is always getting wasted, so you figure some one has to stop this or try to control it.   I've lost count of the times NYC has been messed up in marvel movies, it's almost gotten as bad as Tokyo getting trashed by Godzilla over and over.

Quick question, planning to go and see the film in the next two weeks...are there any films in the Marvel Universe that I should make sure that I've seen, apart from the two CA films.

Eh.. my view on it is, should a superhero be held accountable for their actions? Yes.

 

Should they be forced to register their true identities, therefore putting themselves and their loved ones at unnecessary risk? Hell no!

 

Should they be forced to work for the government just because they have power? No!!  Should they be imprisoned if they refuse? Again, hell no!!

 

Better way:  Have a superhero registry  ONLY for those who want to use their gifts against crime, and just record their hero identity and abilities.  Deputise said registered heroes so they have the legal authority to act and have them subject to the same restrictions as cops.  The rest, it's the same as any other civvie in the real world.  Self defence or assault laws cover things there.

Yeah, well, you're taking more of a real world view on it, saying that, I doubt they'd ever deputize superheroes, in the end you're still working for the government in that sense.  Besides, if they had the same restrictions as cops, we'd be in for a pretty boring superhero movie.  :p

I think the original IronMan is a must.  AntMan also.

I blame having played the City of Heroes MMO for its entire lifetime. :p  There, if you were a registered hero, you were protected, but if you weren't, you were a rogue and could be busted...

You haven't seen any of them!?!

 

You could probably enjoy it with absolutely no knowledge of any of the movies but there are subtle links to pretty much all of them. My daughter has recently got into superhero movies so I used that as an excuse to go back and watch all of them (or at least all but Ant Man) before going to see this last night. I'll be watching Ant Man soon with her and then I'll go back with her to see it.

Not to the same level of "Guardians Of The Galaxy", but in a similar way - it was a lesser known but funny and enjoyable film.  Some very fun touches during the climactic fight scene.

I'm yet to see Winter Soldier and Ant Man. probably something that I shouldn't admit on this topic ;)

 

Will see them before I see the film

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
