Even after seeing the movie, I literally don't believe that
Clint has a wife and kids.
I also hated the writing of the
Natasha/Bruce stuff.
I thought it was unnecessary as a character point, and also didn't ring true as it was happening.
ION, I assumed that
Pietro died
because of studio stuff -- I figured
the X-Men get Quicksilver and Avengers get Scarlet Witch, because she wasn't in the X-Men movie, was she?
In short, eh. I'm not a comics reader, but feel like the MCU is too much like comics now, with all the convolution and everything feeling like set-up all the time. At the very end, my cousin and I were just like,
"Yep, still don't know who the purple guy is. All right then."
Also: NEEDED MORE SHIRTLESS THOR, FOR PETE'S SAKE.
Did you see Guardians of the Galaxy, Jesse?
Thanos
was explained a little bit there.
I just read an article that said Hawkeye
having a family comes from the Ultimate comics universe.
Did you see Guardians of the Galaxy, Jesse?
I did, but still meh and/or huh.
Many evils do.
Like
Quicksilver/Scarlet Witch, (while Wolverine -- who might be their father -- WATCHES THEM get it on)
which I just showed to Tim.
Oh my god, Marvel. That's not the good crack.
Anyone seen Ex Machina? I just saw it yesterday and liked it a lot.
I enjoyed Age of Ultron reasonably well, but Ex-Machina is certainly a more interesting take on Artificial Intelligence of the two. The performances are fantastic. The gender politics are both problematic and problematized, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
Yeah, we saw it, and it was good. This Oscar Isaac guy is pretty interesting.
This Oscar Isaac guy is pretty interesting.
Right? I think the only other movie of his I saw was Drive, where he played Carey Mulligan's husband who just got out of jail, and I remember thinking he was very interesting in that flick as well. I've heard great things about both Inside Llewyn Davis and A Most Violent Year, and I think I'm gonna check them out.
Oh, I didn't remember him from Drive. Definitely looking forward to seeing him in the new Star Wars movie, though.
I thought the movie made it pretty clear that
he was misogynistic, rather than the movie itself accepting and confirming his attitudes. But man, that scene where the other guy sees the footage of all the previous AIs...that was rough.
