Zak Katz Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Why was there a relationship between Widow and Banner? I thought that was shoehorned in for a romantic aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zexion_Armando Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Why was there a relationship between Widow and Banner? I thought that was shoehorned in for a romantic aspect. for that tumblr fanbase shipping. In reality, the relationship would never work. All it did was sap screentime better meant for the Twins or Ultron. Plus BuckyxNatasha 4eva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronan The Accuser Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Saw it, like it a lot, except for Spadertron. I'm a big fan of Ultron and I was very disappointed in him. Mainly because he's just James Spader. He speaks and acts like James Spader's smartass,funny characters on TV. Hello and thank you! That wrapped up my opinion of Ultron perfectly. Too jokey and glib. I still enjoyed the movie but felt Ultron could have been more menacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I loved the portrayal of Ultron and I think the reason is...in the comics, why would they ever think a menacing looking murderbot would be a good peace keeper, like sure there are a lot of different iterations of Ultron but this one felt the most like something that if it didnt have the mental breakdown, could have been a good help to society and even a member of the team. He didnt feel like some heartless machine with programming, he felt like an extremely conflicted person who uses humor to mask his actions much like his co-creater Tony. He is also an artificial intelligence, hes sentient, not one minded, and he did absorb the entire internets knowledge in the first half hour of his birth, so all the snark fit for me.

He absorbed its knowledge, not the people who use it 2. He did use a lot of popular culture quotes even if we write them off now as second nature (Pinocchio, The line about omelettes, or the Nietzsche quote) 3. The internet isn't synonymous with stupidity, he was still a highly intelligent AI who can make decisions based on some form of logic, unlike the the people in the Youtube comments section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 yknow the actors for both strucker and quicksilver are both signed for multipicture deals All that means is that Marvel contractually has the option to do something with those actors/roles should they choose to do so.

Which I get. He saw how people interact, and mimicked it. I'm just saying, if that's the case, then basing his personality off of online interactions means he'd have assimilated the dark side of the Internet as well. I was also mostly just joking. No one wanted to watch Ultron ask Black Widow ASL? yknow the actors for both strucker and quicksilver are both signed for multipicture deals All that means is that Marvel contractually has the option to do something with those actors/roles should they choose to do so.

Trekker 42 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 He my have absorbed his wit from the internet but he also was discerning enough to know what was too dumb to use and what was legitimately funny. And he combined that knowledge to create his personality. Fun thing to do honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zexion_Armando Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) >There are deleted scenes with a subplot about Hawkeye building a tool shed that he never finishes because he's always off with the Avengers. >There are deleted scenes highliting Quicksilver's womanizing exploits. >In the original cut, the pool that Thor and Erik Selvig locate is a way to speak with the Norms. Thor goes into the pool and is possessed by them, allowing Selvig to question them about Thor's visions, with them responding through Thor, but is was not well-received by test-audiences. >Originally, Thor would have two visions, with the second one being him conversing with Loki in a burning Asgard. >There's an alternative ending where Quicksilver survives the barrage of bullets and recovers with Dr. Cho's medical technology, and later joins the New Avengers aloingside Wanda in a new uniform. >Marvel Studios executives didn't want to include the team's visions and Hawkeye's farm. The latter was once left in when Whedon agreed to cut the cave subplot to the mininal requirement to move the plot along. >Whedon originally planned for Captain Marvel and Spider-Man to be part of the New Avengers, but agreements couldn't be made in time, and when both became available, it was too late to reshoot the scene. >Marvel and Sony discussing integrating "The Amazing Spider-Man" to the MCU by featuring OsCorp Tower on the New York City skyline in "The Avengers", but agreements couldn't be reached in time. >Whedon regrets not having a longer final cut so the movie could breathe a little more, and feels he overstuffed it a bit. >Whedon wanted the Avengers to go to Sokovia still at odds with each other, and only truly come together in the church, and felt that Vision proving himself by lifting Mjolnir was the best way to explain why they'd let him accompany them. >The final battle was reworked several times, and entire action sequences and combos were cut and rearranged.

bigvis497 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Another thing I haven't really seen talked about: The ending credits scuplture/statue was a nice little homage to the statue of the founders on the front lawn of Avengers Mansion. Gonna work on customizing a Minimates version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I thought the Hulk/Widow stuff was interesting, and definitely worth keeping in the film (though there is an argument that they should not have included that in this specific film, when there were about 2 million other things they had to deal with). But I kept thinking about Betty there. Seems like Betty and Hulk didn't work, in part, because it wasn't something Betty could deal with. If she had been as supportive and patient as Widow, would have have tried harder to stay with her? Or would he have recognized that the risk was too great for her? Don't know. But Betty didn't seem to play any explicit role in Hulk's decisions in AOU, which surprised me on some level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Yeah, Thor and Tony went back and forth about who was better, Jane or Pepper. I was expected Bruce to mention Betty. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Betty was engaged to Phil Dunphy wasn't she? I'm guessing that Bruce either thought it best to leave her be, and let her have a nice quiet life, or she took the decision herself.

Twisted Two-Face Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 "Veronica" was a reference to Betty Ross. Hulk was in love with Betty, so when Tony made an "anti-Hulk" suit, he named it Veronica. Betty/Veronica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Little late to the party, just saw it tonight. It was good, but nowhere near the first one. There was probably too much going on, and not all of the characters were well served. And while I liked the introduction of Hawkeye's family, it was so hokey and obvious that he was being set up to die. And pulling a swerve and having Quicksilver die in his place doesn't really save that. I do like the idea of Hawkeye having a family, and that the rest of the team didn't know about it. Wish they'd done a little bit more with that, establishing even more that he's a normal man walking with gods. The best parts were really just the characters interacting with each other. The greatest strength of the Marvel movies is how well they are cast. I loved the party scene, and everybody trying to lift Thor's hammer. Probably my favorite part of the movie.
