Avengers: Age of Ultron (May 1st, 2015)

Sweet suit. Interesting that they skipped a dramatic "suit up" scene for Stark in favor of him downloading the new "Friday" AI into it instead.

Not sure if this has been shared yet, but great insight on all the individual Avenger's story arcs consolidated into one article, leading into AoU. I'm going to see the movie for the 2nd time this weekend, having read this will certainly shed a better light on the direction Whedon and Marvel took with the characters.

Way back when my wife once wanted to find a website url she had previously gone to so she clicked on the address bar dropdown to see recent sites and saw that I had been to a site called rebelscum.com. She was all WTF??!???? Reason: She didn't get the Star Wars reference and didn't know if the first word in the url was rebel or rebels.....MASSIVE change in meaning depending on what the first word is.

LMFAO!!!!!

Very true for me, I even said this after my 3rd or 5th viewing, I forgot which one.


"A second viewing of Avengers: Age of Ultron - a viewing free of hype and hope, a viewing in which you’re armed with a basic understanding of the plot, allowing you to dig a little deeper - pays off in enormous ways. The film, a slightly too-breathless, sort of too-dense blockbuster, suddenly opens up, the little character moments emerging from between the set pieces and the fights. Most of my niggling problems with the film simply melted away on a second viewing, and many of the lingering questions felt answered."

I really liked that Iron Man armor, and I usually can't tell them apart from one another

Wow, very insightful commentary. Great point about why Natasha and Banner are actually a very good match.

And great bit about Hawkeye. He's the one guy on the team that doesn't have the gifts and powers of the "gods and monsters" but he's also the one guy who has what they pretty much all want.

Really? I guess the tittle of the film is misleading. How long did the age of Ultron last? Like a week and a half?

Long form story telling isn't for everyone I guess.

Hell, it takes a lot of work for me to grasp it all, but that's what so fun (and expensive) about it!

Awesome article. Really liked it, I admit I had the same thoughts, except for the Rodgers one. That was definitely cool way of talking about it.


Gonna see it again a fourth time in IMAX tonight.

Well "age" doesn't actually correspond to a specific length of time, we just often assume it means a long time because of terms like "the Ice Age" and the "Stone Age."

You're not wrong.

 

[YoNoSe]

Age of Iron Monger was shorter.

 

[Khev]

Fun Fact: Age of Hopeman's Heroics is actually the shortest of all documented ages.

 

[YoNoSe]

And the document begins, "Before he destroyed our great city and a Sears in Kansa, this motherf..."

And the document begins, "Before he destroyed our great city and a Sears in Kansa, this motherf..."

Is that the document that Gandalf pulled out of the Metropolis rubble and then read to the Fellowship?

 

[YoNoSe]

Is that the document that Gandalf read written by some poor bastard? "Hopeman is coming, he is coming, he is....."

"Fool of a Kent! Next time blow up with your planet and spare us of your stupidity."

Here's the thing with the MCU, we can enjoy the deep story arcs and bad ass battles while my 6 year old son can enjoy the colors, tech and battles.

What a win.

He fell asleep in DOFP.
