AVENGERS: Age of Ultron

[hoss20]

I agree completely, Benton. People will go to see movies that are made well and that they enjoy, regardless of the subject matter. If the movie market gets saturated with superhero movies that are crap, then, yes, the "bubble will burst".

[Shogunn2517]

And in case you missed it,  the trailer to AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON will premiere during MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. next Tuesday October 28th.  Which is a whole week before Interstellar, which will have the trailer attached as well.

Tune in.

Woot!  New(or stolen) Avengers: AOU clip!

I'm with both of you. I believe we always have space for more GOOD super-hero movies, I read a lot of reviews saying movies like "Green Lantern", FF vs The Silver Surfer" and "Spider-Man 3" signalized the end of the "super-hero movie era", but people still want more movies like the Avengers.

[BentonGrey]

Right!

Vision looks so cool. I can't wait to see all the density changing scenes

I don't know. He doesn't look bad or anything, but it just seems that there's too much red on him. Green's usually the Vision's defining color, and it just seems to look better on him then all of that red. Still better than Byrne's vision though. (For those fortunate souls who have never seen Byrne's Vision before, it's basically the basic Vision design, but with all the color drained out, and instead, all we're left with is a bland empty shell. Much like how he wrote the Vision also. )

possible spoilers:

Spoiler

We all know that Marvel can't use the X-men or the term mutants, so QuickSilver & Scarlet Witch are going to be Inhumans.

I don't know if that was mention earlier or not

Looks like there's some more promotional materials released the explain the movie's origin of Ultron and The Vision.

http://www.capesonfilm.com/2014/12/promo-art-for-avengers-age-of-ultron.html

Spoiler

It sounds like Ultron is actually a Chitauri program that Stark found and experimented with that eventually builds its own body, so different origin that ties into the first movie.  I don't mind.  Vision also was not built by Ultron it seems.

[XStream]

Wow, I didn't see that coming.

Spoiler

I don't mind they are tying the two movies together by making Ultron's AI come from a Chitari program, but I am surprised they are changing his origin even further. I totally expected Ultron to be a "failed" experiment of Hank Pym that Tony builds upon. I guess I just hoped they would connect Antman to this story.

The use of Jarvis for the Vision does work for me. I like that Tony is designing the Vision along with Banner. Not how I expected the story to play out, but I am still looking forward to this.

[Shogunn2517]

And here are a few confirmations of actors we suspected were characters.

Spoiler

Andy Serkis IS Ulysses Klaw.

And Mantis... who has ties with the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers will be playing a part as well.

Leave it to the a toy fair to give us a better idea of how the Vision will appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Oh come on there are far better promos out there, don't give into IGN's clickbait. We have seen what Ultron looks like.

I don't know which is more accurate...the action figure or the lego version.  I'll still have to wait for the movie.

[JeyNyce]

This brings up an interesting question:  Will we see a romance between Vision and Scarlet Witch??

Lego, most likely.  Hasbro's been skimping on the paint aps for the 3-4 inch line (which is what that Vision appears to be) so the result is only vaguely like the actual outfits. I saw the Iron Man from that line yesterday, and they left his entire torso red, and I almost mistook it for a repackaged Mark VI.

[XStream]

So RDJ has spoken with Empire about Starks 180, and hints a little at what is going to lead him down a road that puts him at odds with Cap.  After reading this and thinking on it a bit, I believe it will be the Hulk encounter we see in the trailers that pushes Tony over the edge. 

Spoiler

Think about it, the two of them (supposedly) create Ultron using alien tech. Their creation finds a way to use the Hulk as a weapon. Tony and the Avengers make a mess of things trying to stop the Hulk. And as Tony stands there looking at the damage he is responsible for he decides it all has to end.

Wow!  I forgot we have action figure experts.  I thought i was just being a smarta$$.

I'm expecting a "nod" to their relationship, but I'd be surprised if they get married in Avengers 2...

[BentonGrey]

I thought this was a pretty interesting article, shedding some light on the thought process behind the change in Ultron's origins:

I've never really had too great an issue with it, honestly... it's something that takes a bit to get used to, but the fact is that Hank being the one solely responsible for Ultron never made any freaking sense. Hank Pym is a biochemist... he's dabbled a bit in technology (the Ant controlling helmet, and some of the gadgets he used as "Dr. Pym") but the only time we've seen him put together anything CLOSE to the level of skill it would take to make Ultron a thing was decades later when he put together the Antman armor, and even that was done with the assistance of SHIELD. We've seen Tony using advanced AI and robots all the way back to Iron Man 1, so it's not NEARLY as big a leap that he'd be capable of making Ultron. Even EMH changed things so that Ultron was a joint project with Tony and Hank.

[Jimaras8]

That is true but i would still like some acknowledgement of Hank Pym's part. Even a hint, like the original blueprints of the AI been made by Dr. Hank Pym of Shield or anything along these lines.

I agree because it fits with the events that have already unfolded. I'm also happy to see this because I've grown tired of seeing everyone labeled as a "genius" on television and the movies as knowing everything about everything. It greatly bothered me that Tony in Iron Man 3 casually mentions at the end that he cured Pepper of her condition (being subjected to Extremis). Tony is an engineer, admittedly genius level, but does he really have the knowledge of biochemistry and, to a lesser extent pharmacology, to be able to develop a cure for her?

Here's a look at War Machine in Avengers 2

I'm hoping that WM will be fighting in Avengers 2 and this is not just some addon for collectors to spend extra money

[Shogunn2517]

Big spoiler ahead...

Stop reading if you don't want the ending spoiled.... 

Okay, you've been warned.




I just saw the post credits for Avengers: Age of Ultron and in one word, it is

Spoiler

AMAZING!

But there's more...  be careful if you want to click ahead...

Spoiler

I warned you....

Spoiler

Feige lied.  There is a post credit and a post post credit.  The first is with an fed up Thanos exclaiming "fine, I'll do it myself" as he fits on the Infinity Gauntlet.  The last scene, I already alluded to.  A guy is wiping windows on a sky scraper and as he wipes the suds away he reveals SPIDERMAN watching him work and tries to help him with a spot he missed (and fails)

[JeyNyce]

Ok guys and gals, I just want to let you know that some of us have seen the movie.  Don't forget to add spoilers if you want to talk about it.  Thanks Shogunn2517!! 

On that note, how much time do you guys what to let pass before we post spoilers??  A month?, two months?  let me know, Thanks!

[Silver Shocker]

Without spoilers tags? I'd say when the movie stops being in theaters.

[Tomato]

I'm just gonna put this out there... I won't be seeing this movie until later on in the month (I have a 4 day weekend memorial day, and were celebrating my bday then) and while I plan to avoid this thread, if I see something without spoilers while I'm skimming through recent posts... Whoever is responsible will wish I had killed them.

In all seriousness, its gonna be hard enough dealing with spoilery stuff as is. Please be mindful of those of us not seeing this right away.
