Avengers: Age of Ultron Movie Blarghing
SPOILER FILLED TALK DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE SPOILED (duh)
So I just watched Avengers: Age of Ultron
AND I LOVE IT 12/10 PERFECT SCORE
Kidding.
If I make a fan cut in which those scenes are excluded, then yes. This'll be a 12/10 perfect movie.
BUT NOPE.
Well I'll just start with the good?
(Seriously the spoiler starts now don't read further)
1. CHARACTERS. CHARACTERS GALORE.
Everyone is there. FALCON IS THERE. RHODEY. STELLAN SKARSGARD. IDRIS ELBA. PEGGY CARTER. FALCON. PEGGY. I love it. The inclusion of characters from each of the avengers' stand alone movie just really ties everything together nicely in a bow of ultimate crossover.
2. CHARACTERS. CHARACTERS WITH PERSONALITY.
Aside from Loki, Marvel's villain are usually... memorable, at best. But Ultron really caught me by surprise. I never would've imagined him to have such a snarky and humorous personality (in a dark, demented way).
New characters are also very well fleshed. Dr. Helen is super adorable. WANDA AND PIETRO ARE CUTE. Vision is SUPER CUTE (they should do Avengers/Big Hero 6 crossover so Vision and Baymax can share a scene), Andy Serkis character was funny (we'll see him more in Black Panther?)
Not to mention... HAWKEYE MY DARLING. Which leads me to the third point:
3. HAWKEYE
Whedon you troll. You think it's funny? YOU DIDN'T SEE IT COMING HUH?! But seriously I think Hawkeye's arc is sarcastically genius. Because seriously, everything that happened and all facts that were introduced are cliche tropes usually used for characters that's gonna kick the bucket. Initial close encouter with death? Check. "I don't have a girlfriend. Wait. I do have a girlfriend. Wait. I have a wife, actually, and kids." Check. "They don't realize how much they need you." Check. "This is my last mission." Check. My wife is pregnant and I have to go back to her. Check. Heroic speech. Check. Sudden increase of screen time. Check. I'm gonna make a dinning room once all this's done. Check. There's a kid left in a stack of rubles and I have to go back to safe him when the clock's already ticking but like, they showed a shot where I sighed before running off to safe the kid. Check.
By the time that quinjet went on a shooting rampage I was like THIS IS IT. AND THEN "You didn't see that coming."
Actually... ACTUALLY, with the amount of cliche sprinkled around it I should see it coming... AND I DID SEE IT COMING.
5. THEY CARE FOR THE CIVILIANS'S GENERAL SAFETY
Unlike some other superhero movie *cough* man of steel *cough*
6. TEASERS. TEASERS GALORE.
Wakanda? AYY lol.
7. It's epic
Ya know the fight scenes are epic nothing else to say I'm out.
Now on the bad s
Actually, only ONE bad :
#! Why are they romancing Natasha and Bruce????
It's forced, it's sudden, it's awkward, ultimately, it's very ooc for the both of them. I don't want them together? I don't want them together especially IN THE WAY THEY DID IT IN THE MOVIE.
Why?!
It's like something straight out of a bad fanfiction. Why can't they just be friends who understand each other so well because they both have and are struggling with inner demons? YOU KNOW? JUST BEING A BFF?! Like Nat and Clint?!
You know what, actually I might be okay with it if they handle it better. Maybe, if they start flirting ooc after their mind was messed by Wanda, then by the end of the movie they realize that it just wouldn't happen and that they're friends, then I'm ok.
If it was just Nat manipulating Bruce for the sake of controlling Hulk, then I'm ok.
If maybe they did genuinely like each other but done in a less forceful and sudden way, then I'm ok.
Just anything but the one depicted in the movie.
UGH.
We could've had it all Avengers 2.
Jimmy Spader was amazing.
Thor was smokin hot.
There's Falcon and War Machine.
Wanda
Pietro you dead why. (honest tho I love x-men's quicksilver more but WANDA)
Where's loki? You promised us loki, where's he...
Where's spidey? You promised us spidey, where's he...
But it's ok. If only you would tell me why. WHY BRUCETASHA WHY.
