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

[GasparZizou]

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.

I thought they were split 50/50 in terms of accuracy, for instance, AoU has the childhood, but DOFP has the parents (before it was retconed), and personality both had basically the same personality just AoU was more mature because of what he'd been through.

Buuuut my comicbook knowledge of him is pretty basic.

Also, I really liked his rivalry with Hawkeye it was awesome.

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.

that still doesnt excuse what a horrible actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is
just saying. sure the marvel universe might have better movies or better action for you. but if we are talking about actors evan peters is just a much much better actor.
thats just true.

if marvel was able to hire evan peters for age of yltron then maybe it would have been the best thing ever
but they got a very wooden guy to do a so-so job

His death scene was very powerful and emotional.

Audience gasped, my wife cried, I was shocked myself, my son passed gas, too much soda.

He came thru for the story when it counted.

You want to see bad acting, go see Talia's death scene in TDKR!

So, this isn't about QuickSilver then?

But I disagree.

All MCU movies but a select few, are pretty mediocre when it comes to action, Thor being probably the one who suffers most from poorly choreographed action and bad CGI, he didn't even look any good until Age of Ultron, and DofP probably has more cool action than the entirety of the Fox-men franchise.

In reality, when it comes to action, Fox Men and the MCU are on pretty similar terms, perhaps MCU doing a little better.

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

Up to TWS, there's nothing in the MCU that actually surpasses that scene, all it's about on the same level action-wise.

Neither is the MCU, like I said, before AoU only TWS was actually known for its action, the rest of the movies are known for dem jokes.

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.

TWS has the best non-heavy hitter action so far, no contest.

Before AoU MoS had the better heavy hitter action, perhaps Avengers could compete with MoS in those terms, but Thor has literally nothing to offer in terms of superpowered action, and he's the only character than can do what Superman can besides the Hulk, but TIH's action isn't even worth mentioning.

Even despite the oddly outdated looking CGI action in some parts, AoU can compete and surpass Man of Steel, for once I actually believed Thor was a god, and Hulk/Iron Man fight was as good as any of the MoS ones.

Out of 11 movies, only 2 or 3 of them have good action.

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.

+1

His death scene was very powerful and emotional.

No it wasn't it completely lacked any sort of impact, at this point everybody's thinking they'll bring him back, that's the reputation of the MCU, I literally heard someone whisper "eeh he'll be back" immediately after he dropped to the ground

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

Isn't he supposed to be as fast as a bullet here? If you can run side by side to a bullet, you can certainly move horizontally from their trajectory, they even showed him watching how a piece of shrapnel was moving in slow mo in from of him when Hawkeye triggered that mine/trap in Stark's tower, he just didn't move cause he didn't even realize what he was stepping on a trap

 

[LexiKon318]

Eh I think he is done. I was a bit heartbroken to see Wanda's reaction.

 

[jye4ever]

But you saw the movie with crows. of course crows whispered that.

 

[The Tuggernaut]

No it wasn't it completely lacked any sort of impact, at this point everybody's thinking they'll bring him back, that's the reputation of the MCU, I literally heard someone whisper "eeh he'll be back" immediately after he dropped to the ground

Most people each time I've seen it seemed to be shocked/saddened by his death. Gasps, "oh noes", etc. Not to mention SW feeling his death was pretty full on IMO.

Even though I think he'll be back, I think his death was handled extremely well, and hit the mark.

 

[jye4ever]

Touche Mr. Tuggernaut.

 

[LexiKon318]

I think this universe is about to get way to crammed to fit him back in.

 

[jye4ever]

JW liked QS, Feige isn't bringing QS back.

I'm done. Unless someone says ''He'll be back'' again.

Yes I agree, I think it was handled pretty well, and he was a good character and his death did hit the right notes, if not a little predicable, it's not really the plot's fault that MCU has a reputation that takes away the impact, even if his death turns out to be final.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I think this universe is about to get way to crammed to fit him back in.

Nah, he'll just stand around and do nothing for 2 or 3 hours like Han Solo in Return of the Jedi Or he'll disappear from the film like Falcon

 

[jye4ever]

Episode 7: Age of Ewoks

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Episode 7: Age of Ewoks

Yup, Quick Silver will do nothing except open a door and tell Scarlet Witch, "I love you." Then a party at the end where Falcon shows up again wearing a cool new costume that he didn't used when the Avengers needed him the most.

 

[GasparZizou]

I would like if they'd bring him back, he was a genuinely good solid character, plus having a speedster is freaking awesome, when he tried to grab mjolnir

At no point is he ever shown to surpass bullet. He does exceed a train, but you can see the difficulty in superspeed during the Wakanda attack. I'm just saying at no point is it made that he would be faster than that.


Trap? Only thing in Stark Tower was the bullet, is that what you mean by trap?
