Avengers: Age of Ultron

I don't think it's a retcon, I think Tony being IronMan again was a reaction to the big reveal of Winter Soldier.

Still...I think it would have been nice to have that shift be given at least a little lipservice.

Yeah. It was mostly weird because it was never brought up.

I was really referring to the whole Mandarin blu ray extra retcon. That and the super abrupt voice over ending to IM3. "Pepper got better. The End!"

I watched AoU again this weekend and a second watch really made for a much more enjoyable time. I have to admit that while I did like the movie it did feel underwhelming and not as good as the first with a few "huh?" moments during the first viewing. The pacing issues are still there and the movie does feel like it could use a longer runtime (especially with Thor's story when he leaves the group) which is funny because at 2.5 hours the movie definitely breezes by and never feels long. I do like the movie more than I did now but it's still just a good movie and not a great one. It's a fun popcorn flick. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Anyone else think that they should have

Spoiler:

killed Hawkeye instead of Quicksilver? Killing Hawkeye would have had so much more of an impact since he was given a lot more character development in this movie. Quicksilver had basically none because we'd just met him.

Spoiler:

Quicksilver dies

There is no after credits scene, But a mid credits scene, Which is Thanos putting on the Infinity Gauntlet.

Plus we will have a new team of Avengers in the 3rd one, I believe its Falcon, The Vision, War Machine, Captain America, Forgot who else?

Spoiler:

Falcon, Vision, War Machine, Captain America, Black Widow and Scarlet Witch.

Who was the better Quicksilver? Age of Ultron or Days of Future Past?

Days of Future Past. Without a doubt.

The Banner/Widow stuff was pretty bad though. Forced and flat.

I found it extremely poignant and beautiful. It was hinted on in the first Avengers movie, so it was hardly forced.

Spoiler:

I thought the movie pointed to Hawkeye biting it, with the clip of him looking at a pic of his family. Maybe he WAS destined to die, and they changed it at the 11th hour. My wife wonders if it was part of the Fox/Marvel pissing match. I think I like DoFP Pietro better....if only because he had that set piece "Time in a Bottle" montage.

the second viewing made me like the movie even more...

Actually, I think Whedon has admitted it was all clever misdirection. I applaud him; it was masterfully done.

Where? In the two scenes they have together where it's more of a business thing than anything?

I've been watching a lot of Murder She Wrote of late and it has taught me many things; foremostly, it's never what they're pointing at.

[Slade]

I always felt #1 was overhyped, so I was actually hoping I would like this one a lot more, and I did. I thought it was so much better than the first.

Oh, and I preferred Avengers Quicksilver.

I think if they wanted to sell us a misdirection, they should have waited until AFTER AoU to announce Hawkeye's involvement in Civil War.

I still would have been perfectly okay with

Hawkeye dying instead of Quicksilver.

Yeah, right.

PRetty sure they did... in that they announced Hawkeye's involvement only AFTER AoU released in Europe. As for the US, well... <shrug>

Josh Whedon deleted his twitter account because of angry feminists attacking him over Black Widow:

"That is horses***," Whedon told BuzzFeed News in an interview on Tuesday. "Believe me, I have been attacked by militant feminists since I got on Twitter. That's something I'm used to. Every breed of feminism is attacking every other breed, and every subsection of liberalism is always busy attacking another subsection of liberalism, because God forbid they should all band together and actually fight for the cause.

LOL. He calls them "militant feminists."

[plastroncafe]

Wow that's a funny conclusion to come to, when the article itself has this as the title:

Joss Whedon Calls “Horsesh*t” On Reports He Left Twitter Because Of Militant Feminists

http://www.buzzfeed.com/adambvary/jo...ter#.ksQ6ozRn0

“That is horseshit,” he told BuzzFeed News by phone on Tuesday. “Believe me, I have been attacked by militant feminists since I got on Twitter. That’s something I’m used to. Every breed of feminism is attacking every other breed, and every subsection of liberalism is always busy attacking another subsection of liberalism, because god forbid they should all band together and actually fight for the cause.
“I saw a lot of people say, ‘Well, the social justice warriors destroyed one of their own!’ It’s like, Nope. That didn’t happen,” he continued. “I saw someone tweet it’s because Feminist Frequency pissed on Avengers 2, which for all I know they may have. But literally the second person to write me to ask if I was OK when I dropped out was [Feminist Frequency founder] Anita [Sarkeesian].”

Sad day for rabble-rousers.

He quit Twitter cause he needed space to work.

“I just thought, Wait a minute, if I’m going to start writing again, I have to go to the quiet place,” he said. “And this is the least quiet place I’ve ever been in my life. … It’s like taking the bar exam at Coachella. It’s like, Um, I really need to concentrate on this! Guys! Can you all just… I have to… It’s super important for my law!”

[CyberCubed]

That's what he wants you to believe. You don't just delete a twitter account because you need to concentrate on work, you can simply not go there anymore. He probably didn't want people contacting him over rants about female characters.
