Ha! This is kind of funny.
BTW, although it was a great joke, I'm kind of surprised that Tony didn't know what it was. I mean, it's not caviar or anything, but he's a worldly jetsetter, so I figure if I've heard of it (and loved it), he'd know what it was at least.
I've read Ultimates Cap more than anything else, and he was reasonably interesting there. And that's who his movie self is supposed to be modelled after more than 616. Maybe that's it.
Although I did follow the Civil War plot. I wonder if that's something they'd introduce into the movies--maybe that ground was already trod by the somewhat competing X-Men? I also do wonder if Demon In A Bottle will be used (the foundations have been laid pretty decently), or that's too much of a bummer for the snappy funny movie Iron Man.
My first experience of the Maria Hill character in comics was of her ordering a bunch of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to capture/gun down Captain America for voicing his objections to the Registration Act
before
it was passed into law. Subsequent efforts to make her a sympathetic character have been a lost cause IMHO.
Some of the look and enhanced abilities of Movie Cap are taken from Ultimates, but his likeable personality and commitment to protecting the weak are pure 616. The Ultimates version is closer to USAgent in terms of personality and morals.
My Avengers feels go Coulson, Cap, Nick, Tony, Thor, Hulk, Natasha
Hey, I share Avengers feels with ita ! ! This makes me strangely happy.

Question about shawarma--exotic food, or someone as cosmopolitan as Tony has heard of it? Street food and not the nosh of billionaires? What's the what?
eta: I honestly believe my sister watches these movies just to be able to talk to me about stuff that wets my panties, and she's not into it...but she did have the Coulson feels. I told her I'd drawn Colin as Hawkeye, and she asked me who Hawkeye was. So I know the front and the back of her list looks like mine.
Street food: Tony must have heard of it.
I agree that if I worked it out by uni, Tony would have heard of it. And I'd assume Joss doesn't actually think it's exotic for
him,
so what for that line?
...of course, I can imagine Pepper chastising him and saying "Remember the secret Palestinian meetings? After you ducked them and got trashed? The food you chowed down on after that...that's shawarma."
OMG, he was so clearly wearing running shoes with lifts in those scenes.
Got me. Unless Tony's lying, which I wouldn't find unlikely. He's just running off at the mouth to be entertaining.
Also totally within character.
