Avengers - Post War

I guess I've got a few notes.

Iron Man/War Machine: The armor design is too complex and similar to the previous suit to really feel like a ten-year upgrade when compared to the last one. Iron Man lost a couple of inches. There are easy ways to show a change in armor outside of that, such as cutting down on the shoulders, rounding out the helmet, and/or reducing the amount of metallic grey in the armor. That, or the last Iron Man armor could have just been more bulky and basic, like a mark I or III. That armor could be repurposed later on as the War Machine armor after a few modifications. (Also why doesn't War Machine have an arc reactor?)

Ant-Man/Giant Man/Wasp/Goliath: They don't have to all be here for one. I understand the want to just bring the reserves on to the main team but having two tall guys is redundant. There are ways to rectify this, like reducing Hank's role on the team so that he's more of a supporting type that supplies the gear or maybe he's taking a break to work on a secret pet project that turns out to be Ultron. Ultron would also be just an all-around better way to explain what Tony brings to the table in their partnership than "Hank needs a mouth because...oxygen circulation? The reason MCU Ant-Man's mask shuts the way it does is to act as a secure, pressurized suit that would be able to shift between sizes without any weird external complications. Kinda like an astronaut's suit, just a lot less bulky. It also means that both big and tiny Ant-Man can breathe easily at their respective heights. Larger lungs need more air and air gets pretty thin up there. It also makes sense for Wasp given her high-speed flight.

Thor: I have nothing new to say about Thor's setup. I guess I'm confused regarding his design. He's wearing jeans, leather boots, kneepads, a belt with a Nordic symbol, a super suit vest, a sleek helmet in the style of Ragnarok's gladiator look, wrappings around his wrists, and a smaller, ancient ruin-esque Mjolnir. It looks confused, like it's torn between being the result of a godlike transformation and what Blake just decided to wear that day. I think the idea of something like Mjolnir doing a partial change is just fine, but that needs to be incorporated into the design better. Like maybe the leather straps of the hammer work it's way up the arm to act like an electrical circuit and the circular plates could be more energy-based in kind. Light up the eyes, get some fun long god-like hair, and keep the wardrobe as something more in line with what people would wear. Also probably cut the helmet since it doesn't make any sense here and feels like a half-measure without the cape.

U.S. Agent: I assume this is post Cap's return? I'm not against the change, but the title of U.S. Agent is a reduction in status. If you're still keeping the Captain America corps part of S.H.I.E.L.D. (again, why?) then this would be a better use of the rank. No one just calls themselves U.S. Agent. It's just that bad of a name. Also, I think the timing is wrong. I don't think that Walker would be thrown out of the position of Captain America provided the Kree/Skrull War. I guess if Cap returned during the war and was the driving force in turning the tides then that's fine, but if that was all Walker then I don't think he'd give up the title, nor do I think anyone else would want him to.

Hulk: Hulk doesn't seem to be that angry, just peeved. Also, some added skrull-details, such as their ears or chin lines, would be a better indicator of the origins of his powers.

Captain Marvel: I guess another way around the Captain America/U.S. Agent debacle would be to make the one who ultimately turned the tide and became the modern Captain America Carol Danvers herself. Both stories seem to mirror each other as both Cap and Carol got their respective powers from a turncoat from the opposition, Cap with Erskine and Carol with Mar-Vell, and were seen as turning points in their respective wars. Cap as a symbol is diminished as Carol becomes the new modern version of what Cap was to the people, main difference here being that none of her background was a story conjured up by the allied powers and she never had that giant loss in time. I suppose the main drawback in this respect means that Cap's presence in modern day is understated as a result if he arrives post-war. I don't think that's a bad thing, it just means that he has less to live up to personally. Provided this happens during the war, it could give Cap the opportunity to be a mentor figure to Carol and provide that ceiling she'd break through exceeding expectations in her actions. Idk it needs to be workshopped a little bit more but I think Carol, given the context, should probably be a larger player on the Avengers.

Coulson and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Honestly I don't like the uniforms. That's my main gripe, really. Honestly the entire design would just be better if it were all, say, black or the traditional dark blue. Here it just looks like something a normal dude would wear. I'd say on a jog, but who jogs in jeans? It works more for desk-jockey types I suppose, but to my understanding Coulson is above that. Right now he just looks like a background character.
