1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 296 - Avengers: AoU - Vision

Cap? Meh. He's too cookie cutter for me atm. As Tony put it - I don't trust a guy who doesn't have a dark side.

Also, if AI can wield Mjolnir than what would stop Ultron, his drones, or even Stark's dummy robot from picking it up?

They're saving cap using mjolnir for later

Lack of moral purity?

Lack of mural purity?

What makes the dummy robot impure?

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

If Ultron or a drone picked it up, it would function as nothing more than a war hammer right? The power of Thor would not be behind it.

No, the whole point is that whoever is worthy can wield the power of Thor.

Hence, Vision is worthy.

This will be the only AOU figure I plan on getting.

good one! Vision picking up Thor's hammer was pretty dumb....

The point was that just being AI wasn't what deemed him worthy

Well, I felt that Vision represented Starks's purest, most noble intentions (as opposed to Ultron, who was the other side). His being able to pick up Mjolnir confirmed it.

BTW, I have no idea if that makes sense. I didn't grow up on comics, have only seen AoU once, and knew nothing of Vision prior to joining this forum. I'm just making the point that to me, there was a reason Vision could pick it up but Ultron and his "dronies" would not be able to. No idea if that holds any logic in the comic book world or Marvel world.

We're in complete agreement, I don't think all the rules from the comics carry over to the film in this regard.

That, and Vision has never tried picking it up in the comics either. XD Nat, Ororo, and Steve all have at some point though.

The only thing I hate about Vision lifting mjolnir first is that it kinda takes away from Steve lifting it first in a sense. Same with if they ever introduce Beta Ray Bill.

Even more so for me with Beta Ray Bill since he was the first being in the comics other than Thor to lift it. I love that character so much and now it won't be such a huge moment since it'll just be all like oh hey hook, another person can lift it, oh hey Steve can lift it too. Dunno but that's just me. I completely understand the plot point they were making but I think they also could have proved Vision's trustworthiness in another way.

 

[Motuxmen]

They could have found another way to show visions intentionsts for sure. But not another way that was so quick and made such a statement. A huge percentage of the people watching the movies have limited to no comic reading history so a lot of that stuff won't matter.

As for Beta Ray Bill...man I don't see him being in the movies. And if he is it will be such a minor role...where as they are trying to turn vision into the next big cog. In case RDJ and/or Evans leaves. I am not commenting on the worthiness of the character but just the likely hood of it.

 

[guy66657]

I'd at least wanna see Bill team up with Thor like they did in EMH. The main three characters people wanna see in a Thor movie are Bill, Amora, and Surtur. PLUS the person writing Ragnarok is the same dude who wrote for EMH and the Beta Ray Bill episode, so I'm personally hoping that he pops up in a film someday. He doesn't have to be a huge role in the universe but similar to how Falcon was in TWS. Plus, an MCU version of him could look sick as hell. And there's just me wanting a Hot Toy of him and Amora. Those two would be amazing though I could probably just kit bash an Amora.

Here's something else for y'all to nitpick

Yeah I just can't see him making anything more then a passing cameo. If that. Like some of the xmen characters early on. Brb is such a strange character for the average person. And his back story, not sure how well that would translate on screen in this universe. But, I would be happy to be wrong. He's not one of my favorite characters but I personally hope everyone gets versions (both on screen and in figure) of every character they want.

If u do a custom of either I'd like to see it. You ever consider having someone do a custom Brb for you? I think if you just got a good head sculpted you could use one of Thors bodys to do a pretty good custom.

Okay I'll be honest, I got a good kick out of that one

I think HT fixed this fading issue. I had a Mark VII displayed all the time in an open stand more than 1 year and there was not any fading issue.

I hope there won't be any fading issue for this figure because I really want to buy that. D

OH no, not a passing cameo. Literally like his Sam's role in TWS. kind of a main secondary character. Dude, I don't think it's that strange, there's been way stranger things on screen. And you could totally translate his backstory on screen. It's not that hard at all. Honestly, nothing is too strange as long as you explain and execute it right. I think people underestimate the general audience way too much.

I would like it if they introduce BRB in Ragnarok, then elaborate his backstory further in a Guardians movie. Then a Thanos Imperative thing in Infinity War 1/2
