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

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I guess saving a kid isn't cool anymore post MOS, is that it.

So saving a villain is better, then having such a cool character be removed from the story for no reason other than not to make things easier in the plot when super speed would've easily solved everyones problem.

Yeah, he's so much better that they left him home.

Dumb.

You know what else was dumb? Quicksilver dying, when he could have easily just carried Hawkeye and the kid to safety. He's capable of incredible speed (to the point that bullets are easily dodgeable earlier in the film) and feats of strength: yet instead of picking up Barton and the kid (not out of the question since he can easily shoulder-barge Ultron to the floor), he just stands in the way and dies. Given how fast he is, he would literally have to stand and watch the bullets bore into him slowly

In addition, Quicksilver clearly fails to actually stop any of the bullets. The Quinjet is obviously armed with some powerful artillery (if it was shooting hand-held ammunition, it would be useless against vehicles), just look at Quicksilver after he’s shot. He’s literally swiss cheese, with entry and exit wounds.

All he did in reality was slow the still fatal bullets down. And yet Hawkeye and the kid miraculously survived. Dumb.

I wonder how good dofp quicksilver would've been had he played a larger role in the movie...guess we will find out in Apocalypse.

Well the cop grazed him. Also, he isn't faster than a bullet. When Ulysses shot, it was blank, because the gun was unloaded before it happened. You see Hawkeye also got the better of him.

Hawkeye was pushed put out of the way, you can see his body slide to the right.



He isn't faster than a gun. I love that, he was an enhanced person, not ****ing invincible.

I would be sick to death of it at this point if I were you. I loved the first one but I don't think I've seen it 8 times yet.

I saw it twice in the theater and I can't even tell you the amount of times that I've seen since. To me, a good movie is like listening to music that you love. I just watched it yesterday on Fox while I was doing things on my tablet.

 

[The Ween]

I say TDK i'm up to about 20, Avengers 25, TWS 15, LOTR EE 5 each, then Star Wars, Empire, Jedi, Raiders, STM, Batman 89, Aliens, Conan, Predator, Terminator 1/2, Die Hard, Exorcist, Friday the 13th 1, Halloween 1, Day of the Dead, The Thing, Road Warrior I have lost count.

An 80" TV will do that.

Oh my.....I've probably seen LotR at least 50 times over the years.

 

[jye4ever]

Jye, he wasn't taken out of the movie for no reason, somebody had to drive their rental back

As for AOU QS, everyone in that movie was saving people, there was nothing special about that, X-Men QS actually saved the guards, otherwise Magneto would have killed all of them which is what Charles was trying to prevents, so he actually saved people too.

You 2 just wait until i'm out of the shower.

WOW, now i'm impressed!

They are definately worth it.

Ok, ipad getting wet, brb

I thought he allowed himself to be hit to save the kid, and Hawkeye. He may still show up again.

He pushed them out of the way. Hence them surviving and him having entry and exit wounds.

You mean it's not waterproof? Apple better get right on that!

He wasn't really aware or looking at the cop that shot him, and as far pushing Hawkeye out of the way, if he was fast enough to get to them, all he had to do was not stop.

Spoiler

 

[crows]

Yes, we are all very surprised that GasparZizou, crows and the Clown Prince of Crime hated this version of Quicksilver. Next you're going to tell me that Pturtle also liked the DOFP version better.


Edit:



LOL, there it is.

it doesnt have to do with hating the movie, or even trolling right now. the accent was pretty bad and Aaron is not a great actor.

he ruined Godzilla as well

If this then that, bla bla bla. How many times have we seen movies where someone runs out into the street to push someone out of the way of a car and then they get hit? Same thing. Your argument just doesn't have any foundation to it. Maybe because of the whole DOFP "whiplash" thing he doesn't run with two people because he likes to lean a certain way to shield one person. Maybe he thought he did have enough time to carefully push them then change course and still get out of the way and he misjudged it. Who knows.

It was a cool moment and people make split second mistakes all the time.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Also consider that his death was essential for Scarlet Witch.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Many times to the point that it has become a cliché, but they don't have super speed.

And a car isn't a bullet. He did fine.

 

[GasparZizou]

I guess saving a kid isn't cool anymore post MOS, is that it.

What does MoS have to do with anything? Bringing up MoS here is too meme, even for you Jye it is surprising that the "Superman didn't save anyone" and "Man of Murder" memes are still going on here though, I wonder if people still think they're true.

So saving a villain is better, then having such a cool character be removed from the story for no reason other than not to make things easier in the plot when super speed would've easily solved everyones problem.

Yeah, he's so much better that they left him home.

Dumb.

I liked DOFP, i'm excited for the extended cut, hopefully it amps up the action which it sorely needs.

But c'mon now.

You have a point there, but the character itself was still better, plus, getting killed the way AOU QS was killed was almost as dumb and DOFP QS returning the car

Yes, we are all very surprised that GasparZizou, crows and the Clown Prince of Crime hated this version of Quicksilver. Next you're going to tell me that Pturtle also liked the DOFP version better.

My bad, I would like to change my vote cause I've clearly hurt some feelings.... Yeah! Bro! Yu dident see dat comin? So sick!

But you're right, it shouldn't come as a shock after AoU QS was revealed, he was exactly what everyone expected, subpar to DOFP QS.

PS: Please quote me saying I hated AoU's QS, serious request.

 

[karamazov80]

As a character in a movie, I probably like DOFP version better. But AOU was closer to the comic version in terms of his background and personality. Not that he was 100% in that department. And I do like that choice. Better if DOFP created some new character if they're only going to keep the power and superficial look, but lose everything else.

 

[jye4ever]

Ok, here goes.

You guys/gals can have your DOFP QS victory because his scene is the ONLY superhero action out of every single X-Men/Wolverine movie that stands out.

Every X-Men movie is like an Avengers movie, big group of superheros teaming up to do battle, right.

Yet no X-Men movie can even compete with a standalone MCU movie in the superhero action dept, forget Avengers/AOU!

Even Wolverine's mansion fight from X2 pales in comparison to anything from the MCU.

So yes, DOFP QS was cool, yet his character was quickly neglected, the one character they showed great powers being used was written out asap!

Magneto and Storm floating and Wolverine swinging his blades back and forth has been out done by even the worst MCU movie.

So yes, by all means, embrace DOFP QS, one character, one bad ass scene.

One, out of how many movies!

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy X1/X2/FC/DOFP, but they are NOT known for their superhero action scenes.

Only MOS Superman battle with Faora/Zod can come close to the superhero action that the MCU has been putting out, but then the Tornado came and took it all away.
