Iron Man made a Captain America shield with Nano Tech in Infinity War.
I’ve seen this move 10 times and somehow never noticed Tony made a nano tech shield that seems to be based on Steve’s actual shield😂
If this was common knowledge keep in mind I watched the moves exclusively on movie and tv screens and I noticed this when watching a clip on my phone and I had to double take.
If anyone is curious it’s the part in the movie where strange is being whisked away by the cloak and we cut to Tony and Peter fighting Cull Obsidian. In the second picture you can see doctor strange zooming by in the middle and the first picture he’s already passing by, I can’t😂😂😂

“Tony learns from his mistakes”
I don't say this to be Marvel vs DC, cause I think that stuff is silly, but it was hard not to compare how CACW and BvS treated the core conflict. In CW, you figured maybe it'd do the same kinda thing, same with Godzilla vs Kong where the two main characters fight, but it's ultimately a bigger villain they realise is the real threat and all that.
But just when you think they might pull that punch, they double down and sack tap Tony and have a legit hero character go for a kill.
But then he gets an idea to incorporate into his tech after thousands of people are hurt or killed from his brash decisions he forces on everyone else… so it makes it all better or something.
So what matters is what you do with those mistakes. Do you ignore them/forget? Or do you learn and try not to repeat them?
Related to this, if I remember right, there were concepts or some plans for a space sequence in the finale of Endgame, and that's where that gigantic War Machine armour came from, and why it's such a chunky, high power, armed to the teeth design. I have a bell ringing that the concepts called it something like the Cosmic Suit or something similar.
2 other cool tidbits of progression I like are in CW, although it shows the results and consequences instead. Tony first starts putting multiple arc reactors throughout his suits in IM3, allowing the remote, modular stuff. Then he has the shrapnel removed, so no longer needs one in his own chest. We see it paid off in AoU when he's able to call in replacement limbs for the Hulkbuster suit. But we also see it pay off at the end of CW, cause 1. Steve wouldn't have disabled his chest mounted reactor, so this opened up an opportunity for Steve to finish the fight without needing to hurt him further, or anyone being killed. And 2. He also does it because he would know Tony still has backup power in his smaller reactors in the suit. So while Tony can't continue the fight, he'd still have power to either get out of the suit or perhaps even limp home in it.
I felt the same way. That suit was the [Mark XXXIX "Starboost."] (https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/1/14/Iron_Man_Armor_-_Mark_XXXIX.png/revision/latest?cb=20170424190154)
"How'd ya solve the icing problem?"
"Icing problem...?"
"Might wanna look into it"
**\*BONK\***
Side note, i always loved how they made us think the fight was over after that and Tony had won.
Steve’s shield was effective because of two things and two things only, that Starks shield DOES NOT have: 1) ability to be thrown 2) vibranium
So, to sum up, it’s just a shield he thought of on the spot to block the shot
Nah just kidding I love your joke lol
r/unexpectedmarypoppins
Infinity Fruit Gusher...lol.
Not to mention Tony’s dad made the original shield so maybe this is Tony’s way of paying homage. To me this is a replication of Steve’s shield and if I’m wrong it’s my head canon.
This shield is exactly the size and shape of Cap’s. Sure, not *every* convex circular shield is “a Captain America Shield”, but historically (and in fiction) it’s actually a pretty rare design. Real circular shields tended to be smaller and flat, while convex shields were more kite-shaped to cover more of the body.
Come on. Seriously. Do we think Tony was sitting around looking to the Ancient Greeks for shield design inspiration, or is it *just* possible he based it on his former best buddy instead?
By your logic, shouldn’t caps shield be based on a more current design as well?
Circular convex shields are hardly uncommon in comic books and other forms of media.
Also just realized you meant it ruins the uniqueness of vibranium I wasn’t paying attention. Well it doesn’t really imo. I think it’s a lesser version of what vibranium is and that is shown how thanos could rip apart Tony’s suit with his bare hands in that movie.
THO antman’s suit, Thor’s suit, etc. in the multiverse saga definitely made nano tech and that whole instant suit gimmick feel weak and cheap
I don't think it's too controversial to say Cap and Iron Man are the "main characters" of the Russos' tenure in the MCU. At the very least they have the most fleshed-out character arcs during that period. They make such great literary foils for each other, from start to finish - challenging each other's moral core simply by existing in the same space.
They represent two ends of a spectrum: Cap embodies the soldier (selfless, duty-oriented, steady demeanor), and Tony embodies what I'll call the lone gun (that is, he trusts himself above all others, is generally rogueish). Both can be and definitely are forces for good, but their motivations and methods couldn't be more different.
What I love about the MCU is that over such a long span, we can see where each character's persona fails them, and how they are forced to grow in order to overcome. Cap's blind loyalty is turned against him by Hydra in Winter Soldier, and Tony's compulsion to try and out-think his problems blows up in his face in Ultron. These mistakes clearly hang on their consciences. But what I love about their dynamic is that, because they are framed as opposites, all of this turns them into *each other*. Cap loses faith in organized power, and Tony craves oversight. This comes to a head in Civil War; a total 180 from their first encounter. And it ends with Steve surrendering the shield, the physical manifestation and last remaining piece of his his identity as Captain America.
The two find themselves at the start of Infinity War utter detached from their original identities. This points to an aspect of IW that I think is under-discussed: all the characters are *lost*. Hulk gets curbstomped, Thor lost Asgard, etc. They're trying on personas that don't fit them. Like, for example, Iron Man using a shield in the park and subsequently getting tossed around. When I see this, I can't help but appreciate how nicely it weaves into this greater saga of dynamic character. I could be and probably am reading too far into it, but the fact that I can do so is still a credit to the groundwork the filmmakers laid beforehand.
I could continue gushing about how Endgame pays this all off but my thumbs hurt.
Idk man, MCU gud
He also seems much more of a brawler in this movie.
But Civil War broke trust in him a bit and I think Peter not joining the Avengers might have led to him doing a “fine, I’ll do it myself” so he went for the nanotech suite.
A huge reason he trusts Strange is that he suddenly got contacted by a group of like-minded people. Protectors he had no idea existed. He wasn’t alone any more.
Strange wouldn't do either.
I think it is a “I can rely on technology” in the way Steve is “I trust in people” situation and he is much more willing to be prepared for situations without thinking about the abuse potential.
I don’t think movies Tony would be what you describe him as though.
That there are differences between Strange and him is something that is clearly to him early on but
He is willing to work together with the wizards for the common goal.
Also when it comes to morally questionable decisions I think both aren’t strangers to that.
I think there's different levels. Strange is willing to sacrifice 1 or 2 people for the goal, but still has a moral compass. Tony is an "end justifies the means" guy. More dangerous because of his own self-righteousness.
Iron Man 2 has him cussing out the government but then 6 years later he's kissing Ross' ass and presuming Bruce Banner of all people would support him when he's literally sucking up to Bruce's deadliest enemy.
The Tony at the start of Iron Man 2 feels a bit invincible and is still playing the US capitalist that doesn’t want government control.
The Tony that signs the Sokovia accords is dealing with the weight of guilt about the deaths Ultron caused. At this point he briefly gets into the mindset of doubting himself so much he turns to the government for help.
The Tony at the end of Iron Man 3 feels like he can let go only to realize he can’t in Ultron.
Contrasting perfectly to the rigid character that Steve is, Tony can’t stand still, can’t settle.
It’s fitting that his core and constant dedication, the thing he settles on becomes something Wanda started in him. It’s basically an inception that drives him - until the end.
And in the end, he gets told that he can’t finally rest.
And I tend to think the Accords are not so much about Tony doubting himself but a result of Tony's pathological aversion to actually taking responsibility for his own actions and their fallout.
He's the ultimate spoiled rich kid: dedicated until everything goes south then bails and expects others to pick up the pieces.
