Why Someone Loses an Arm in Every MCU Phase 2 Movie

By the time Marvel Studios launched Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they had laid the groundwork for the franchise that would be followed for years to come. After some growing pains in Phase 1, following the release of The Avengers, the entire world seemed on board with this new exciting franchise. Phase 2 not only saw Iron Man 3 follow in The Avengers' footsteps of grossing $1 billion at the worldwide box office, but the sequels to Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor: The Dark World, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier, saw a bump in box office thanks to The Avengers. The studio even turned lesser-known characters and D-list heroes like The Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man into box office hits.
