Marvel are doing that too often^ the defeat of the primary villain by humorous means. It's becoming a bit predictable.
Can't deny the parallels though.
SM2/TDK = Great
SM3/TDKR = POS
What, you didn't find this charming?
Stupid villain delivers long-winded speech, gets distracted, then defeated.
POS? You mean, perfect, outstanding, script? I find it more enjoyable than TDK

I didn't mind it, because the film is almost a comedy, but I hope they don't take away the infinity gauntlet from Thanos so easily.
The last thing Ultron will see.

They're going to swap out the Infinity Gems with hard candy.
I also rank ASM 2 over Spider-Man 3. I put Spider-Man 3 dead last among the Spidey films. As I think about it, there's only one Spider-Man film I enjoy all that much, and it's the second one. Sad, considering that he's one of the best comic characters in existence.
I'm ashamed to say (as a native New Yorker) that I have never read Spidey comics and have enjoyed, to varying degrees, all of the movies.
As a fan - where would you recommend I start with the comics? And, sorry to be so needy, could you recommend something currently available (like an Amazon link)?
Legit request.
I've been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and he uses this pretty often in that show, and he also did it in Firefly. He loves to have the bad guy giving an ominous speech at the end, "you'll never be able to rest, because I will pursue you to the ends of the earth!" etc., then bad guy gets killed in comedic fashion I love it, and I hope it happens to Ultron!I honestly wouldn't be surprised. It's classic Whedon humour. Build up the threat, make it all very ominous and doom-speaky......comedy dispatch of villain, levity, audiences lol. It used to be a new and funny but they're wearing it down.
I would start at the beginning. Folks may assume that the older stuff is more quaint and less sophisticated than more modern comics, and that's true to some extent, but just because they weren't "dark and gritty" doesn't mean they weren't smart, fun, and good. The themes are usually just as relevant today as they were in the early '60s. Marvel's stuff from Stan Lee in the early days was quite good, and Spider-Man was probably the best of the bunch, followed by Fantastic Four IMO. Ditko's art was also really nice to look at.I'm ashamed to say (as a native New Yorker) that I have never read Spidey comics and have enjoyed, to varying degrees, all of the movies.

I'm glad that Thanos should just be irredeemably evil and not misunderstood or troubled because his daddy didn't pay attention to him or whatever.
