No. Captain America just doesn't take time out to exlpain WHY norse gods are believed real and why their tech is there. The movie as a whole will make sense still.

I have to ask why some are concerned about you being expected to have seen a previous movie. They are effectively a series. We've know this since Iron Man 1, we've known this with the stinger of each film and the carry over characters. We've know this if we've read any news on the movies at...

They were and weren't status symbols. The problem with so many people's opinion on armor and knights is that they combine multiple time periods. By the time Sport Jousting was in full swing then yes, you had status symbol knights wearing armor they couldn't really move in. But they never...
