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

Yeah, but I think it was a one time chance, because she was pretty much unknown, so it had that factor, as we found out more about her she lost that factor and doing that kind of scene again would've been weird imo.

But why do it in the first place? If that is not her "character" then she should have never done it in the first place. Otherwise she should have had some moments were she did it again... I really liked it because it gave it a creepy horror like element to her character..

As is.. In makes no sense... Not complaining. Not one of my big complaints... Just a strange choice since it never appeared again.

He Superman... You're SUPERMAN! How about stopping the truck from hitting the building that might have humans inside of it, instead of looking "oh so cool" and dodging it.

Not cool, though, "hot."

In the Winter Soldier art book the Russo Bros stated how carefully they tried to stage Cap's attack on the Quinjet so that it came across that he was trying to take it down but in a surgical way that prevented it from flying off toward civilians or something.

Hopeman would have just grabbed it, spun it around then threw it into a building where it would explode behind him as if he were Wilford Brimley in Hard Target.

 

[JAWS]

I want to give you a hug.


I thought that as well, but it was Cap hallucinating.

Hug accepted


Cap had already fallen down the stairs.. He could not have hallucinated her... BUT that was probably the point.... I guess.

... Yeah... He actually looks like he is trying to be sexy in that shot.

Scary castles have that effect on people.

 

[chewblacca]

Because saving people is not dark and gritty!

Well technically he did have a god-complex (he makes a number of allusions to his fascination of the concept of godhood, heck even Spader and Whedon admitted it in interviews), but I do agree that he genuinely believed his methods and cause to be the most necessary and efficient way to wipe out humanity.

I think one of the jaw-dropping parts was when you see the outskirts of the city suddenly split apart with dust flying out as Ultron goes on a speech. Really made me go "Holy---!"

He gets all worked up when Ulysses compared him with Stark, I'd say he thinks he is superior, in a very amusing way

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Saw it a second time today, and it's just as perfect as the first time seeing it. I love this movie!

 

[jye4ever]

Lol at Hopeman bashing.

 

[Sundowner]

Hopeman

 

[Khev]

SW should have chased Cap down the stairs.

She should have chased Cap down the stairs.

When I get my 1/6 Witch I'll definitely pose her like that

 

[jye4ever]

Holy crap Khev, that is freaking big time LOL

But she did have more moments, before being fully fleshed out, like one where she stood in a dark corner with only her red eyes glowing, makes sense to me.

I think one of the jaw-dropping parts was when you see the outskirts of the city suddenly split apart with dust flying out and then the city started to ascend while Ultron made his speech. Really made me go "Holy---!"

I do remember some mention about the great flood and stuff, maybe he had some hints of that, but to me Ultron seemed pretty straight forward, he even refers to himself as a son/child of humanity, which is the farthest there is from divinity.

Wow, great comeback!

In all seriousness, I praise Marvel all the time, as much as I praise DC and I complain about both of them just the same, I get excited about them as I do about Fox and Star Wars and all that ****, I'm a geek it's a freaking great time to be one, I don't know how anybody could come up with the idea of me being a Marvel hater

 

[JAWS]

SW should have chased Cap down the stairs.

LOL! But that was how creep I thought she came across initially...
OK Not that Creepy..
But nothing is as creepy as Regan.

 

[jye4ever]

Very true, nothing beats Exorcist 1 in the creepy dept.

 

[Khev]

Not bringing Silvestri back was dumb. I think the first time I watched the movie I just assumed he was doing the music again so I didn't really pay it any mind but watching it again I really noticed parts where the original Avengers theme would have been so perfect.

His god-complex doesn't necessarily relate to his self-proclamation as a child of humanity (both of which don't necessarily conflict with one another given that Ultron was trying to make himself akin to a god). The fact that he sought to become immortal and even wanted to adopt a transcendental body out of his desired final form (which ended up being Vision) speaks volumes of it. This isn't new either, as it's been previously done in the comics where his final form was designated to be Adam Warlock (who in turn was essentially "space Jesus").

It's the reason why he stuck with Sokovia and why he centralized his plans inside a church. One of my most favorite quotes essentially alludes to his fascination of the concept.

"They put the building in the middle of the city, so that everyone could be equally close to God. I like that, the symmetry, the geometry of belief. "

Man of Steel is not even that bad lol.

It's had a better flow then this I loved it personally. I more interested in how they actual film comes out. Changes to characters darker plot lines how far or close they strayed from the source material means nothing to me so long as the out come is an entertaining film.

This had a lot of recycled elements, unnecessary subplots which seemed out place.
