C: Pretty sure that it's meant to be just one shield that get's repainted after almost every most battle. Easy to repaint metal with the right sort of paint.

Howard Stark tells Cap in the 1st movie when he first picks it up that it's made of vibranium & he has in his hands all there is of it. In the Marvel Universe vibranium comes from a meteor that crashed in Wakanda (home of The Black Panther) so maybe that's where the extra came from? Black Panther film has been mooted (has Avengers connections).

I'll get my geek coat....

That isn't going to happen. As much as you wish it could people will still post without spoilers. While it would be common courtesy for them to do that you can't expect it to happen. I mean it would be nice if people used spoilers when quoting a picture but we see how that doesn't happen. You shouldn't expect people to do it on a public internet forum. Just the way it is sadly.

It's been out two weeks in the UK, this is a UK thread. Just saying.

That's quite a surprising post to be honest. You don't think it's better that people use a specific discussion thread that already exists rather than a steelbook purchase thread for posting their comments about the movie? Maybe people are buying this version because they haven't seen in the cinema?

The bottom line is this is not a thread to discuss the movie, it's on information relating to the purchase of the steelbook. Posts not related (incl. spoilers) should be removed, to prevent off-topic conversations and irritated members. At least the ignore feature works well anyway...

Either way, it doesn't take two seconds to cover up a spoiler. This is a blu-ray forum and a lot of people don't bother going to the cinema and wait for it on blu - their loss but also their choice. So yes, it is a common courtesy to cover up spoilers and anyone with an attitude of "hey, it's out and if you haven't seen it then it's your fault" are just being selfish *******s. People shouldn't be expected to have to see a film immediately just to avoid having it spoiled for them by some idiot who wants to show off that they've watched it.

On the matter of the shield, don't forget that Stark had a version of it in Iron Man 2, probably one of the prototypes that Stark Sr. had been working on (or a second version of the Vibranium one that he made later during Cap's WWII years), so it's possible that there's another version of it kicking around.

Agreed...i am sorry i was part of the spoiler posters. We should all be accommodating to everyone on the forum and not work on the assumption that everyone has seen the movie.

Excellent Attitude. Thank You.

As a Disabled Person, I don't really have the option of going to the Cinema, so I for one really appreciate this.

So what. I spoiler movies that have been out for decades. It's called being courteous. It takes exactly 1 second to apply spoiler tags.

Kind of missing the correction i was making. I was merely pointing out that the movie hasn't been out for just a week in all markets. It's been out for two weeks in our market and you're posting in a thread for our market.

I was saying the movie has been out more than a week in the UK, and this is a release for the UK market!

No, you are missing the point. It doesn't matter if the movie has been out a month, the courteous thing to do is use spoiler tags. It's why they exisit. Either you get this, or you don't. Point is, most courteous/thoughtful people automatically know this.

I know!!!!! I use spoiler tags!!!!! I was saying the movie hasn't been out for just a week in all markets. The guy was posting in a thread for a UK steelbook saying the movie had been out a week. Well as far as this thread is concerned it's been out for two weeks! I am not debating whether it is necessary to use spoiler tags as i think it is absolutely 100% necessary. You completely ignored the point of my post and are having a go at me for something that we agree upon.

[bevins2016]

I don't think any spoiler tags have been needed in the discussions so far. They are very vague (I did that on purpose) and don't give away any of the movie.

I would love it people used the correct thread for discussion. Will they? Nope, and really we can't get upset if they do or not. Threads go off topic all the time and by doing so someone may write a movie plot.
I'm sorry if you haven't seen the movie. If someone posts a spoiler about it and do not spoiler tag it then what can be done? Sure they can go back and edit it and fix it but again it all boils down to common courtesy.
You know how many times I have to go around here and ST people pics?
A lot, why do I do it? Because I'm trying to be nice as it is a pain for some people to view the site waiting because some people are to lazy when they quote someone. Again while it would be great if people would ST movie plot points, we shouldn't expect it nor get mad when they don't do it.

Going back on topic please, I hope the interior artwork for this is nice.

Sorry neoz, I disagree and I find it a little disheartening to see a moderator* saying such things. Will people do it? Of course, because some people don't think, some people don't consider what they post to be a spoiler and some people are just selfish and if they've seen the film then that's all that matters and who cares if others haven't?

So yes, it will happen. Should we expect it? To a point, but not so much so that it's just 'one of those things' because saying we expect it is pretty much telling people it's OK to do so. So, yes, out of common courtesy on a forum which is supposed to be a community and have a friendly feel, we should expect them to show a bit of consideration.

Should we get mad at them? Absolutely. Why not? If they deliberately post something that spoils a film - especially a new release like this that has only been out a matter of days in some territories - then it is a perfectly OK response to get mad at them for not thinking to spoiler tag it. The forum has an option to do so, it's very simple and it helps everyone out. if you've just had a film ruined for you because someone couldn't be bothered to spoiler tag their post (or didn't want to because it hides what they say - which, let's face it, is a reason some people don't do it) then getting mad at that person is a natural reaction. The mad person isn't the bad guy in that scenario.

To me that's like going into a scalping thread and saying "look, this is a discussion that's going to get heated so someone is going to get called a selfish or robbing a**hole at some point because that's how some posters are - be nice if they didn't do it but we shouldn't expect them to not do it or be mad when they do.".

*Sorry if this feels like I'm singling you out as a moderator - you're a great poster and a great moderator who has done a lot since stepping up. And I'm not suggesting that you mods single-handedly delete every spoiler because I recognise you do this voluntarily. The reason I bring up your title is, as I say, simply because it's a little disheartening to think that even the mods have the attitude of "meh, it's inevitable you just have to deal with it". Sorry if this sounds like a dig, it isn't meant as such.

I think the biggest spoiler (which wasn't huge but still a plot point from fairly late in the film) has been deleted.
