So how bout that costume Scarlet Witch had on at the end? SO AWESOME! I absolutely loved that POV shot of Iron Man flying between the buildings in the opening scene. It was really cool in 3D. "The City. Is FLYING. And we're fighting a bunch of crazy robots and I have a bow and arrow and NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!"

I liked the bit towards the end when Hawkeye was talking about how nobody would know if he took out Pietro. That was hilarious.

I hated that Joss Whedon said in an early interview that in this film we could expect "death, death, and more death," and yet the only hero to die was Quicksilver. He's only been in this 1 film (the Cap 2 credits scene doesn't count), so when he dies, it doesn't bring any weight to it. Now if someone like Thor or Iron Man dies, it hits us like a freight train because we've been following these characters through several films over a long period of time. It makes no sense then that the character who can run faster than a bullet, gets shot to death.

Also, I love how Iron Man chooses the MOST destructive way to subdue the Hulk. You'd think if you were fighting the Hulk, you'd be trying to keep the collateral damage to a minimum. But no, let's just destroy an entire construction site.

Wasn't there a quick line about Tony buying the building seconds before he and Hulk crash into it?

I thought for sure Hawkeye would die as soon as went to save that kid, considering how much Whedon likes killing characters. And it's also weird that the one character to get shot to death is the same guy who plucked bullets out of the air earlier in the movie.

Not sure. I'll listen for it when I see it again on Tuesday.

Tony says "How fast can we buy this building?" or something like that.

Yeah he said that.
Rumor has it that Disney execs had Whedon change the death from Hawkeye to Quicksilver last minute because of Fox. If true, fuck Fox even more and fuck Disney, too.
I wonder if that death comment from the interview was a joke to mess with us.

I guess I'm in the minority here because I was fine with Pietro getting killed off. I thought Quicksilver in DOFP was so much better.

He had a cooler scene, but I think Pietro was all around cooler and actually had limits. He also had his sister with him to play off of. He also actually had an Eastern European accent.
One thing that we didn't get to see much of was his dickishness. But we just really didn't see much of him in general, which is why he should have lived while a character who had been around longer should have died. Wasted potential.

I wonder if that death comment from the interview was a joke to mess with us. That's depressingly believable. Even though the AoU version isn't a mutant, he's still a more faithful version of Quicksilver than the (still very cool) one in DoFP. Singer's version was just Generic Fast Guy, while Whedon's actually felt like the character from the comics.

Yeah mine was laughter and gasps. It was pretty cool. I was surprised that Strucker was killed off so unceremoniously. Great casting there and untapped potential. Also, wtf was up with us not getting to see Hawkeye use that awesome, extending, multi arrow? He just loads it in his bow and walks out the door.

Was I the only one that thought that Ultron's face being able to show emotion made him less menacing?

The sub-Ultrons or whatever looked way cooler.

Also agreed. I just wanted Ultron to look like a more badass version of them.

Apparently, in the Ultimate universe, Laura Barton and kids get massacred by a villain. I wonder if they're setting that up by including them in the MCU.

I think Black Widow killed them in the Ultimates or whatever Ultimate Avengers was called.

A group of villains take over the US, and Black Widow reveals herself as a spy and kills Hawkeye's family. He goes crazy and kills her out of revenge. It was all very very serious and dark and serious.

But WHY would she do that? See that was the problem with the Ultimate universe. After Ultimatum, everything started to turn to shit.

"Because fuck you that's why." Pretty sure that was the reason for half the shit that went down in the Ultimate universe. Characters just did things for the hell of it.

Yeah, like Reed Richards going bonkers and trying to destroy/take over the world. Now he's one of the main villains in Secret Wars, which by the by, is pretty groovy.
