Marvel ’s self - made superhero flick are loge spot blockbusters and massively fun . But they ’re not unadulterated ; like so many summer action flicks , they can be enough dumb , and there ’s no sensory faculty in pretending otherwise . Here are 10 plot fix from Marvel ’s movies that we ’re still try out not to think about .
1 ) What the hell was Howard Stark thinking in Iron Man 2 ?
Sorry , Iron Man 2 , but nothing about this makes sense . So Tony Stark is die because the palladium gist in the electric discharge nuclear reactor in his bureau — the bow nuclear reactor that ’s keeping the shrapnel in his heart spellbind and keep it from killing him — is killing him . Bummer . He demand a unexampled component , and expose the atomic bodily structure for one hiding in the Stark Expo diorama his dad build , thanks to a helpful film Howard made , call his Logos in the hereafter , heavily hinting that there was something especial hiding in said diorama . Now , ignore the fact that this blade - unexampled ingredient is also the one that Tony involve to keep open his life at this exact moment . Also neglect the fact that Howard made a filmstrip to insinuate the grandness of the diorama to his grownup son on the off opportunity Hydra might kill him and his married woman in a railroad car chance event before he grew up . Howard ’s practiced plan for showing his son this new , humanity - convert constituent was to hide it in his cyclorama of an sure-enough fairground ? A diorama that , along with the cinema strip , was kept in some kind of SHIELD store unit for decades , that no one ever discombobulate away , and that Nick Fury only randomly handed over to Tony ? mayhap Howard could have hidden it in something a spot easier for Tony to have bewilder a hold off . Like , say , a letter .
2 ) What the hell is Loki ’s plan in Thor ?
Here ’s Loki ’s plan to get disembarrass of Thor and become Odin ’s choice for king : Allow Frost Giants to sneak into Asgard , prod Thor into attacking Nibelheim , have Odin cast out Thor for going to state of war with the Frost Giants . A little dicey , but okay . But the 2nd part of his plan is to wait until Odin come down asleep , let all the Frost Giants obtrude upon Asgard , down Laufey the King of the Frost Giants right before he bump off Odin in his sleep , and then destroy all of Nibelheim . Why , if Thor got banished to Earth for attacking the Frost Giants , would Odin make Loki big businessman for kill them all ? And why bother to have the Frost Giants invade Asgard at all ? Why not leave them in Nibelheim and just obliterate them ? How is Odin supposed to be impressed that Loki saved him from Laufey when Odin is asleep the entire clip ? Why let Heimdall watch out you allow the Frost Giants into Asgard but not toss off him , thus depart a witness to your treasons who will definitely rat you out the instant Odin wakes up ? Also , why was Odin stepping down as business leader in the first place ? That never works out .

3 ) Why did the army put Captain America on a U.S.O. Tour ?
Sure , it ’s a bummer that the minute Dr. Erskine successfully made the world ’s first A-one - soldier , he was assassinate , his equipment destruct , and the recipe turn a loss forever . But they still managed to get one super - soldier out of it … and then they forthwith squander all that sentence , money and effort by gravel him in a cockamamy uniform and sending him to execute crappy skits . He ’s a super - soldier , for pete ’s sake ! Even if they did n’t run some variety of tests afterwards to see what his newfound ability are — which they also whole should have done — he could have at least been used as a regular soldier , correct ? People are getting drafted all over the position , and you in effect send off your better instrumentalist to seat on the bench ? changeling .
4 ) Why did Cap have to stay on the ship to wrack it ?
I translate why the film needed him to delay on the ship — so he could have one last lachrymose sayonara with Peggy Carter over the giant reverse lightning ’s communicator . But why did he need to fly the jet right away into the ground ? Why could n’t he have show it towards the dry land and leap out ? If the jet somehow always reverted to its previous destination without someone manually controlling it — which would be reasonably weird in and of itself — why did n’t Cap just jam something against the steering wheel to keep it on track ? Or why did n’t Cap try and land it somewhere in the non - freezing part of the Atlantic ocean , where he could endeavor to float out ?
5 ) How did Thor get back to Earth for Avengers ?
At the end of Thor , the Bifrost bridge is destroyed , and everyone is tops - clear that Thor can no longer return to Midgard . It ’s why he ca n’t see his fresh madam friend Jane Foster at the oddment of the moving-picture show . Then come The Avengers , and boom , Thor ’s back in townsfolk . The motion-picture show does n’t even render to offer an explanation , although at least by the clip Thor : The Dark World roll around the Asgardians have retrace the Bifrost so people can come and go . In interview , Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston mutter something about Odin using his exponent to send Thor to Midgard to chase after his brother , but if that ’s the causa , then Thor bust the bridge was n’t closely as liberal a deal as Thor sample to pretend , because all he had to do was require dad for the keystone to the railcar , metaphorically speaking . Also , explanations given in wardrobe interviews do n’t number .
6 ) Why does [ much anything ] take place in the Avengers ?
How does Selvig have a go at it how to harness the Tessaract to make a portal site ? How does Selvig deal to insert a failsafe even though he ’s otherwise completely judgement - insure by Loki ? Why does Loki provide a distraction in Germany less than 100 yards from the minion he wants to distract the Avengers from ? Why does Loki let himself be captured ? Why does no one think it ’s eldritch when Loki wedge around , completely unattended , while Cap , Hulk and Thor are fighting ? If Loki wants to make the Avengers turn against each other on the Helicarrier , why does he get off Hawkeye to blow it up , forcing the Avengers to overcome their differences in decree to sour together to save their own life ? Also , why did Loki purchase order Hawkeye to blow up the Helicarrier when he was in it ? Why does Loki ’s nous - conrol faculty affect hoi polloi through their clothes by not through Tony ’s electric discharge nuclear reactor ? How did Bruce Banner know to go to New York City — that accurate spot in New York City — after he was thrust from the Helicarrier ? Why do a bunch of seemingly living , non - automatonlike noncitizen all at the same time die when a nuclear bomb break down off on the other side of the galaxy ?
7 ) Why did n’t Tony call his 41 other suits of armor earlier in Iron Man 3 ?
After giving his house computer address to a terrorist , in a whirl no one could have seen descend , a terrorist attacks Tony Stark ’s house . Tony has 41 causa of armor he can call by remote control - control at seemingly any time , and he does not do so . Later , Tony is left without a suit of clothes of armour for week in rural Tennessee , and yet he does not call his radius / cytosine armour . When he gets captured while investigating the Sojourner Truth about the Mandarin , he calls … one armour ? But if he called one armor when he ’s catch by Killian ’s goons , then it unquestionably think he could have called it earlier when he was dicking around build little weapons for himself .
- How the hell did Tony get his heart and soul fix in Iron Man 3 ?
For almost three complete Iron Man movies , we sleep with that the shrapnel in Tony Stark ’s heart is unremovable and will kill him if he does n’t keep an arc reactor in his chest to power a magnet . Not only is this a constant reminder of his previous hubris as a weapons manufacturer , it also power his damn armour . Then , suddenly , at the end of Iron Man 3 the shrapnel is no longer unremovable , Stark has some surgery , gets his arc reactor taken out , and is fine and bully . What the hell ? If this was an choice why did n’t Tony do this back when the arc nuclear reactor was poisoning him ? in reality , why did n’t he do it in the first Iron Man moving picture let the minute he got home ?
9 ) Why did Bor do such a stinky job hiding the Aether in Thor : The Dark World ?
After Thor ’s granddad Bor get the better of Malekith and the Dark Elves , he hide the Aether — the non - stone - like Infinity Stone with the king to destroy the universe — where no one could ever detect it . Except Natalie Portman , while walking around in an desert warehouse in England , somehow . Now , that ’s a uproariously dim happenstance , but it technically makes sentiency . What does n’t make horse sense is why Bor , no matter where he hid it , did n’t intend to to put it in some form of container so the Natalie Portmans who willy-nilly get teleported to it ca n’t cling their finger in the darned thing . If it can destroy the macrocosm , then mayhap you could at least put it in some damn Tupperware .
10 ) Why is [ Spoilers for Captain America : The Winter Soldier ] ?
Leaving aside the fact that the nascent Strategic Homeland Intervention , Enforcement and Logistics Division must have been monumentally dazed to let former Nazi scientist Arnim Zola have the resources to reassemble Hydra right under their noses , or that the agency somehow handle to lie in of 50 % Hydra agents and no one visualise it out for 60 twelvemonth . But what the hell was Zola ’s Hydra algorithm doing on that gravy boat in the first place ? The algorithm was supposed to help the young Insight helicarriers target potential threats to Hydra ; there ’s no reason to put it on another ship ’s computer , and there ’s no cause for Agent Sitwell to be have a bun in the oven it anywhere . It could n’t do anything other than wait to be a mark for a shady Nick Fury op .
