Mine too. I thought he did a great job with the most difficult character.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Is it me, or do a lot of people miss the fact that the whole "Language!" thing in Age of Ultron was a joke?

Like Steve is actually a potty mouth and has asked for help in cleaning it up?

I feel like it was played pretty straight, which was the joke, though I can also see how it might not be entirely in-character for, you know, a soldier. I'd say Steve wasn't 100% serious but he wasn't 100% not serious either.

I thought it was played straight, too. (And was actually not in character, either. But whatever, let's go for a cheap joke.)

I get tired of Joss' running jokes. But I had a lot of issues with Ultron, especially how it pretty much ignored all the things Tony went through in the Iron Man movies.

That, and they kept ragging on him for going off on his own and not including the team. Yeah, so what the fuck was Thor doing any differently? I don't see it and nobody jumped all over him. Plus! He was the one that actually enabled Vision's creation.

No one was really in character. No. One.

1. Yeah, but -- Tony also created the murderbot; and
2. This discussion really should be in the Marvel thread. It has Avengers curtains and everything!
(I originally posted this in the Marvel thread. So that was weird.)

You're right. That's going to take some getting used to.
