Well, maybe we get She-Hulk, and he goes all Old Man Logan, and that's how he gets kids.
I still don't get why they were all boo hooey about it and feeling like monsters because of the no kids thing. When my wife and I got married we had like a two second conversation about how if it turned out one of us couldn't reproduce then we'd adopt. It's...kind of a common thing.
Luckily it turned out to not be an issue.
I think them feeling that they're monsters had nothing to do with the kids situation, and everything to do with almost everything else about them
I'm in the camp that most things seemingly wrong with this movie melt away more and more with each watch. I'm 5 times in and I really do think it gets better every time. I think that's the effect it has on most people who liked it from the first time, and those who didn't seemed to feel oppositely; some said they didn't like it much at first and even less the second time.
I think Ultron is a more complex character and just a better villain overall than he gets credit for. He has great lines that I feel get better each time, as does most of the dialogue in the movie. I'm more than fine with the humor too. This is the first movie that IMO kept the majority of jokes at a teenage+ level, and nothing is really too juvenile. I actually like them busting on Cap about the "language" thing. It gives you sense that this probably isn't the first time that they gang up on him and break chops for being square. The only joke that gets under my skin a little is the "lose power on the swing" line, like it's some silly tennis/racquetball reference; but even that's not that bad
I still love Stark even though I don't like the road he's going down. He's become bent on protecting the world to a fault. I like the direction they're taking him in though because I like heros with flaws. Makes them more interesting. I'm interested in seeing who's philosophy I side with in Civil War, because Cap & Stark are my two favorite. Complete opposite ends of the spectrum yet I can relate to and appreciate both. I guess that's the way Civil War will be set up though; where the audience will be conflicted with the pros and cons of both side's philosophy.
No I'm pretty sure Banner himself said, "The world saw the Hulk, the REAL Hulk, the one who can't have kids."
TWS single handily made that summer a big winner.
I liked it, 'twas alright. My dubbed version was more fun though to be honest.
Age of Ultron seemed pretty by the numbers. I didn't hate it, I didn't love it. I thought that running joke gag with Cap and the "language" was really lame and should have died after the first scene. If I were a kid seeing these characters for the first time, I'd think Rogers was a joke after that. There were a lot of gags that fell flat for me, though I did love Rhodey trying to tell his War Machine story. Whendon's usualy humor just ain't doing it for me anymore, Ultron actually annoyed the hell out of me. His Stark-liners and quips rubbed me the wrong way. It doesn't help that I'm starting to really despise Stark, but having the main villain spew the same crap, even when in danger of getting his ass kicked, bugged me.
The action sequences were good for the most part. I really loved Scarlet and Quicksilver. I liked how Cap took a liking to them and mentioned how they were science experiments used for war purposes just like him. Any time the movie played it serious, without the jokes I was engaged. Hated the Black Widow and Hulk thing though, that felt forced. I had no idea what they were talking about in the nursery room the first time I saw it. Then when I realized she was "fixed", I was thinking, "her ****ing womb is so polluted Hulk can't even have a ****ing babby with her".
I definitely liked the first Avengers better. There was a genuine sense of awe and excitement that summer, whereas this just lacked the same punch. It wasn't bad, I'm just sick of their schitick. I think if this had been more focused without all the subplots (and stupid Crystal/Thanos) references, it would have been a leaner, better story. Still enjoyable though. Cap, Thor and the twins were by far my favorite parts. I also liked the nightmare sequences and Quicksilver's sacrifice. Hawkeye was better than he was in the first (though the family thing felt cheesy as ****). I'm really sick of Tony Stark though, when he got the Vision coffin again and had his whole "we're monsters speech", I just wanted him to get off the screen. I've never gone from loving a character (Iron Man 1-3, Avengers), to utterly despising one so quickly. Tony Stark and his character gimmick and circular-going nowhere arc needs to go. Like I said in the Civil War thread, I hope Cap puts Tony in his pace.
Mad Max rules for me so far, that's been my favorite. Avengers 2 was mediocre in comparison.
No I'm pretty sure Banner himself said, "The world saw the Hulk, the REAL Hulk, the one who can't have kids."
I remember lots of parts from AOU.
It took only 2 viewings for all of its awesomeness to fully soak in.

Cap thinks and talks like an old grandpa from WWII with a body of a 20 year old, I really hope they never take that away from his character, he is everything but generic.
I get that CA is a boy scout, but I never thought that had anything to do with him being from a different era. That's just the kind of guy he is. The "language" joke, and Capt being a goody two shoes, has very little to do with him growing up in the 1920's, imo.
