10 MCU loopholes that definitely need to be addressed

MCU is a vast universe, and to keep track of all the narratives and plot points and connect them appears to be difficult. Since the formation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the release of films and TV shows, this universe has been expanding. With so many characters, multiversal timelines, and different storylines, the chance of inconsistencies in narratives and loopholes increases.

However, some fans decide through headcanons and assume their own theories but still, these loopholes remain unaddressed by the MCU.

Here is a list of 10 such loopholes that need to be addressed.

---

1) Nick Fury’s knowledge about aliens

In the first Avengers movie, Nick Fury states that Thor, or rather the arrival of Asgardians, informed SHIELD about aliens. However, in Captain Marvel, it is revealed that Fury has known about aliens since the 90s and has even helped the Skrulls find a home.

This is one of the most talked about loopholes in the MCU and a narrative inconsistency.

2) Wanda’s personality switch

When Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch is introduced in the Avengers: Age Of Ultron, she had a fierce and vengeful personality and talked in a thick foreign accent.

However, in later movies, such as Captain America: Civil War, her character suddenly changes her whole personality, even her accent.

3) Gamora’s heritage

Another inconsistency in MCU is about Gamora’s race. In the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, Gamora is introduced as the last of the Zehoberei race. But later in the film Avengers: Infinity War, Thanos reveals that half of her people are living a happy life.

Earlier it was hinted that Thanos might have lied to Gamora, but she herself states that Thanos never lies. Hence, Gamora is not the last of her race.

4) The Extremis technology

The Extremis technology was introduced in the film Iron Man 3. It was a very useful technology as it could help grow limbs and heal wounds. Tony Stark even uses it to save Pepper Potts. It could have helped many other Avengers who were injured or harmed in the battle with Thanos and his army.

However, that was the first and last time we saw the Extremis technology in the MCU.

5) The Sokovia Accords

Another important MCU loophole is the inconsistent Sokovia Accords. The Sokovia Accords, introduced in the Civil War, were basically created to regulate and control the freedom of superhumans to use their powers so that they don’t abuse them and harm the people around them.

However, the implementation of the Accords has not been consistent in the movies. Captain America: Civil War created a clear divide between the Avengers due to the Accords. But in the later movies, we don’t see the Accords being followed or even being addressed.

6) The existence of celestials

Another inconsistency in the MCU narrative is the existence of celestials. They were first introduced in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, in which Ego is revealed to be the last celestial.

However, later in Eternals, we come to know that there are more celestials alive, making the first theory wrong and inconsistent.

7) The workings of the Pym particles

The scientific theory behind the Pym particles seems flawed. Initially, it was explained by MCU that by increasing/decreasing the distance between atoms, the Pym particles helped Ant-Man shrink. But in the films, it can be seen that it also functions if it shrinks and becomes smaller than the atoms.

On top of that, it also retains Scott’s human strength, which scientifically doesn’t seem right.

8) Thor’s need for Bifrost to travel to Earth

In the first Thor movie, Thor gets stuck on Earth as he doesn’t have Bifrost to travel back to Asgard, and when he goes back to his home, he destroys the Bifrost. However, he travels back to Earth in the first Avengers movie without Bifrost, and it is briefly mentioned that Thor was able to travel back with Odin's dark powers.

As it was not properly mentioned or elaborated, this has remained one of the loopholes of the MCU.

9) Electro’s knowledge of Spider-Man’s identity

Another inconsistent narrative of the MCU is Electro’s knowledge of who Spider-Man is. In his first appearance in Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man 2, he never finds out the true identity of Spider-Man.

However, in the Tom Holland movie Spider-Man: Now Way Home, Electro seems to know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. It is not revealed how he got to know the identity of Spider-Man.

---

10) Quentin Beck’s knowledge of Earth-616

Quentin Beck, played by Jake Gyllenhaal in Spider-Man: Far From Home, was a former Stark Industries employee. He fooled Peter Parker and Nick Fury into believing he was some superhero from another dimension using his holographic and special effects skills. He states that he has come from Earth-833 and correctly states that MCU’s reality is Earth-616.

It is never addressed how Beck got this knowledge when he wasn’t a multiversal character.
