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

I don't mind the Pinocchio references in the movie but I do think its a little weird that Ultron apparently mentions it so often. Just in the trailer we see him talk about strings as the first zombie marionette and then again in his final form. Maybe someone should tell him to "let it go."

Not even deserving of a drum shot.

Believe it or not the bad joke wasn't actually the point of my post. I really do hope that the only two times he mentions puppet strings are the ones from the trailer. It'll be lame if he references them every other sentence.

"Thor's strings have been cut loose, and now to slice the strings holding together Cap's shield. Muahahaha."

"Dude, stop."

Well I'm sure he has all the knowledge that the Internet has. He probably just used the metaphor for himself because he knew about Pinnocchio.

He'll redeem himself when he crushes Renner's skull no matter the classic Disney references . ( sorry Ween )

I'm assuming they will show him watching the movie at some point early on, and that song particularly. Maybe a Matrix-like shot where he's processing all this information very quickly, and he slows down to focus on that song because he can relate or whatever.

I hope so anyway, because it's a really cheesy comment if there's no clear reference point for the audience. But I just started watching some Buffy the Vampire Slayer (never seen it before), and while an enjoyable enough show, it's certainly not short on the cheese.

Maybe he'll spend some time stuck in a mobile home like Wall E where he watches that movie over and over.

Here's the transcript for that Rogers/Stark clip. When I watched it the other day I couldn't quite make out everything they were saying:

Spoiler

Scene: Tony and Steve are in the mountains chopping logs.

Tony: “Thor didn’t say where he was going for answers?”

Steve: "Sometimes my teammates don’t tell me things. I was hoping Thor would be the exception.”

T: “Yeah, give him time. We don’t know what the Maximoff kid showed him.”

S: “I don’t know what she showed you. I just know it made you do something stupid. . . Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. [They?] pulled us apart like cotton candy.”

T: "You seemed to come out okay."

S: “Is that a problem?”

T: “I don’t trust a guy without a dark side. Call me old fashioned.”

S: “Well let’s just say you haven’t seen it yet.”

T: “Banner and I were doing research.”

S: “That would affect the team.”

T: “That would end the team. Isn’t that the mission? Isn’t that the why we fight, so we can end the fight. So we get to go home.”

S: *rips log in half* “Every time someone tries to win a war before it starts, innocent people die. Every time.”

I hope the movie doesn't focus too much on team "compartmentalization" with each member having their own secrets/agendas. It was great in TWS but you don't want to over do it.

Loved the bit where he just ripped the log in half with his bare hands.

 

[DiFabio]

Especially when the audience "ooohs" and "ahhhs".


Gotta admit though, while that whole exchange is great, Rogers kind of looks stupidly macho doing the rip thing.

 

[Khev]

He was just pissed that the Baby Gap t-shirt sale ended before he had a chance to get down to the store.

 

[DiFabio]

That's the only thing I'm worried about, Cap being portrayed as the "tuff guy". Sure, Rogers isn't a super genius, but it shouldn't be all about his brawn and tight baby shirts. That's Thor's MO.

Rumor is Ultron will reference lots of movies, not just from Disney either.

I made up that rumor.

Spoiler

an interesting new tidbit has surfaced as Thor star Idris Elba says he will appear as Heimdall alongside Tom Hiddleston as Loki in next year’s sequel.

Dammit jye4ever, beat me to it for that much

DO NOT WANT!

too much Loki

 

[Anzik]

I'm thinking the scene will have something to do with the vision Wanda shows Thor.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Idris Elba is way too good for Heimdall. He should have been more patient for a better role, like Black Panther. Elba is being wasted by Marvel.

Along with Djimon Hounsou as Korath and Derek Luke as Gabe Jones, Luke would have made a great Black Panther by the way, certainly better than Chadwick Boseman.

Calm down, it's probably a quick cameo at most.

 

[karamazov80]

Loki is probably the 2nd most popular character in the MCU, after RDJ Stark. He should be in this one for that reason.

 

[Shawpaw]

Tom Hiddleston Should make as many cameos as possible. Guy brings it to his character and represents the elements of Marvel really well.
