"For once they took risks."
"A little creativity at last."
Etc.
Scarlet Witch's powers have always been a little confusing to me, so they'll most likely nerf her.

Well since it's true...

I have a funny feeling that the first fight where she shows up is going to be awful for everyone. Except possibly her.
I actually had no problems with it. I'm going to commit social Marvel fan suicide now, but I actually liked Iron Man 3 best out of the Iron Man movies. Iron Man 1 always bugged me with how dumb Obadiah Stane was.

I am sorry the plot twist was stupid.
Could of ruined a great villain and ignored IM movie canon with the ten rings organization.
The rest of the movie was phenomonal.

Twist for sake of twist which was later ret-conned
Oooh! Here's a twist!! The Joker is Jim Gordon's split personality! That's why Batman can't kill him! What a twist! Finally some creativity!
Is it wrong I want her to be the comic relief of sorts? Her reality screw ups delay Ultron but also make it hard to fight him

IMO the Trevor One-Shot made it better. Still didn't like Killian too much, though.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
I can't believe it's happening.
I can't believe we've had 2 Cap films, 2 Thor films, 3 Iron Man films, are getting a GOTG film, Avengers 2 and fucking Ant-Man.
THANK YOU MARVEL/FEIGE

It made a lot more sense than that. You have the Mandarin created to cover up some corrupt business practices. AIM was avoiding awkward questions about exploding people by shifting the blame onto a random terrorist organization (that they acknowledge actually exists) so that nobody will look at them too closely.
LOL, I didn't pay much attention to the offtopic back then, but I do remember that Batman vs Avengers thread referenced somewhere else. That must've been funny.
Although about the more recent trolls, I absolutely love the one guy that equaled Marvel movies to Call of Duty and DC movies to the Metal Gear Solid franchise. You can really taste the saltiness in that comment.

I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks Kojima is like the best videogame writer too.

I get it, and I won't pretend I don't love the Trevor character, but Killian was a really lame villain to fall back on. The twist was a funny, unexpected moment but it also sucked all the tension out of the rest of the film.

Obadiah Stane was never on Stark's level. He was more cunning and could take tech from other people.
Stane isn't really as much of a tech guru as he is a financial and political person.
Hawkeye is as compelling as cucumber, so lets hope not.

This is objectively false...and if the complaint is with Renner, he was basically acting as Hawkguy in Hansel and Gretel which was great.
Alcoremortis

It's not that. Stane is great for most of the movie.
Until the end.
Then he sees Pepper walking out of his office, sees the computer open to all his crazy-ass jigs, and instead of, I dunno, calling security to rightfully detain her, he decides to let her go and dress up in a giant robot suit and murder her face.
I just can't wrap my mind around why anyone would think that's a good idea. Like, what was his game plan afterwards?
"Hey Obadiah, why you murdering your secretary there with a giant robot?"
"Oh... um... I... she broke the non disclosure agreement?"
"Uh huh."
It makes no sense that a cunning businessman like Stane would fuck up so badly. Even if he succeeded killing Pepper, he just totally fucked himself over, because killing someone with a giant robot that only one person has is not the sort of thing that will go unnoticed. And at some point, he's going to have to leave the giant robot, even if it's just to go to the bathroom, and he'll get arrested the moment he does so. It's dumb.
Whereas in the comics, you have a Stane who played the long game and just let Tony destroy himself before coming in and picking up the pieces. Totally legal slightly hostile takeover, but he had the law on his side. He was a smart businessman, not an engineer, but he still got the job done. Movie Stane just totally went insane at the end.
I'll agree I was kinda "meh" on Killian, but the guy was kinda bonkers by that point on account as evidenced by the effect Extremis has on people, so I guess it could make sense that he was just saying crazy crap. Or rather, I should hope that Extremis has a mental component because otherwise, it doesn't make sense why all these soldiers suddenly go murder crazy when they're on it.
Doesn't Wakanda have a Vibranium mine?

Hope someone brings up Hawkguy to Feige and whoever's there at SDCC this year.

Nah has to do with Stane. He is obsessed with power and thought he had obtained the best power ever. So just went yeah unstoppable. Suck on it.
I'm referring to the movie version who has been fucking guff.
So I'm not holding my breathe.

It still breaks character from the rest of the movie. He was planning everything else so carefully and then suddenly Pepper had to die by being squished.
We haven't really seen much of "real Hawkeye". In Thor he was there for two seconds and did nothing, so we can ignore that. In Avengers, he was mind controlled for half the movie and suffering from super mind controlled PTSD for the second half.
I imagine that he'll be quite a bit different in Avengers 2.

I can agree with some of the camera work. The slo mo walk with Cap, Hawkguy and Widow on the Hellicarrier is terrible. As is the shot of Cap running out of the downed jet. Ugh.

My one concern about this film is the size of the cast. Whedon couldn't juggle a six-member team (seven if you count Fury) without giving one of them short shrift; even assuming that Strucker only appears in the opening and Vision near the final act, I wonder if Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch might make for one character too many.
Pai Pai Master

Yeah we know that Whedon wants to flesh him out more and hopefully he gets a lot of good character moments. That was the only real disappointment I had with Avengers, but was understandable considering Hawkeye's arc in the movie. It helps that despite his situation in the movie, the stuff he did was still undeniably badass.

We desperately need a Widow Vs. Hawkeye spy movie.
Would give both character's time to shine

Or: Black Widow and Hawkeye team up film with flashbacks to their first encounter.
He did a no-look headshot which was nice. But other than that... yeah, Hawkeye got stiffed.

Before Agents of Shield existed this is what I hoped would happen. A proper Shield movie staring Hawkeye, Widow, Fury and Coulson. So basically Secret Avengers.
Holy shit, nice find!

It was also pretty sweet that he nearly took down the helicarrier practically single-handedly.

Surprised Hawkeye still has the same costume. No one's thinking about the merchandising!
I was going to ask if that wasn't her because it doesn't look like her.

I would go with "It was a cold Winter, but I Soldiered on"
and attach it to the GotG DVD release since there seems to be a pattern of the current DVD release having a One-Shot related to the movie that came before it.
Aaron Johnson looks unrecognizable with that hair. Scarlet! Witch's non-costume is starting to grow on me, and I'm surprised they didn't update Hawkguy's costume like they do with every other character each film. Even Black Widow at least gets a different haircut every time.

Funny enough, it's basically what he wears in the Avengers Assembled cartoon for the most part. And since Hawkguy is my jam, I doubt they'd really let him get away with the 't-shirt & jeans' look he's been sporting in the comics; even his actual black & purple outfit would still be bitched about because it's so "boring" despite being completely functional.
But yeah, the close-ups and the video looks great so far. Just need more Hawkeye and I will see this movie multiple times if he drinks coffee out of a coffee pot.
So hapyp Quicksilver has the white hair ahhhh
It's so boring. I wish they would have changed it. I thought in the photo's posted a couple pages ago it looked like the colours matched his comic costume more but these images make it seem like that isn't so.
If they're not going to do the mask at least give him some colour to stand out.
