There resources to their resources.

Vision make up process

Here's a write up on how Vision's make up was created for the film. Maybe something can be added at the end of the pre-production section with this. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 19:19, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 00:32, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Triiip! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:21, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In post production, the makeup was digitally altered and the prosthetics were replaced with CGI. Here are two articles discussing the changes: [1] (throughout) [2] (In the "Envisioning Vision" section).

Maybe this could be included after the pre-production makeup work, or in the post-production section? --P r 616 (talk) 15:57, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Add Codenames to Plot Synopsis

It is confusing for readers to see no mention of the names Captain America, Iron Man, etc in the plot synopsis, The plot section should make it clear that Rogers, Stark, etc are these same characters. It should be worded for people who have never seen a MCU film. The names Rogers, Romanoff, Stark, Barton, etc are perfectly acceptable for refering to the characters throughout the bulk of the synopsis (since that is generally what they call each other in the script), however the codenames should be mentioned in brackets after the first use of their real names, given that this is how the characters are widely known (it is the codenames, not the given names, which are used on most of the film titles, advertisements, merchandise, etc). Not to mention that these heroes have existed in comic book & animation for around 50 years under their codenames. Rocket1377 (talk) 14:25, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other than them maybe calling Steve "Cap", they mainly use their actual names when talking to each other. The plot section (and article) are on this film, not on where they came from in the comics. And at this point most of the people going to see this film already know all the names from the previous MCU films, and the others who haven't are going to go off what is heard in the film itself (if they even end up on this article anyway). If people want further confirmation, then they can just look in the cast section below.--Ditto51 (My Talk Page) 14:41, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Concur with Ditto51. It's standard practice at WikiProject:Film to include only the manifest content of a film in a synopsis. If the film doesn't specifically state something, then neither can we. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:07, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Black Widow Controversy

Shouldn't there be a section about the whole Black widow debacle?? About how her romance with Bruce Banner was criticized and she was ignored in the toys and Jeremy Renner calling her a slut?? Amanmohd2105 (talk) 19:22, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide reliable sources, and keep in mind WP:UNDUE and WP:FRINGE.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:33, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
