Marvel Mania Day 31 | The Avengers

[@DravenG96]

I still get chills when we get that shot of them all standing together in a circle. They one up it in Age of Ultron and I cant comprehend how AWESOME it will be to see EVERYONE in one glorious shot in Infinity War.

[@5keeper7ful]

Draven G The circular shot would have been great if it was a surprise in the movie. But after being shown in the trailers and tv spots all over, the impact was ruined.

[@nathanexplosion3412]

+5keeper7ful For you it was. Everyone in the theater was loud and clapping when that shot happened and I imagine a good number of them including myself saw that in trailer and it didn't matter. It still made an impact cause everything before that led up to it was awesome to seem them in a team shot

[@DamnFineCupOfCoffee]

5keeper7ful Na. The moment was the Hulk punch. The circle shot just rode that high.

[@Simple1Jack]

CJ has a bit of a Seth Rogen laugh going on...

[@3comix]

Yes! It was in the back of mind till I read this comment!

[@azidewurst2]

Every time I watch this movie, I´m surprised by how "TV-ish" it actually looks.

[@ConnerNielsen6]

The Acid Sausage, YES! Whedon is directing with TV sensibilities, and I was so glad that Age of Ultron, ya know, actually LOOKS like a film.

[@iamobeliskquake]

I think a big reason why that song during the credits was played a lot was because it was the first new material Soudgarden had released since they reunited. Their last album prior to it was in 1996.

[@RichardApperition]

Ive always been annoyed they never call her "Black Widow" its always "Agent Rominoff" or in AoU "Nat"...that didnt catch on...It's awlays "Clint" too

[@navy0287]

When the scene after Loki's attack is just about to ends in the hangar, pay attention to Loki as he is walking away with his mind-controlled captives. There is a blooper where Tom sneezes and doubles over a bit, but he doesn't break character, and it gets left in the film. The scene ends a few seconds after he sneezes, and the odds are pretty good that his co-stars probably were trying they're best not to laugh. It's literally a "sneeze and you'll miss it" moment, but once you see it the first time, you'll notice it every time you watch the film again. :)

[@jman2856]

Classic movie is classic.

[@Hornerandassociates]

Nukes are not make of explodium. A nuke actually requires a great amount of procedures in order to detonate. Fury shooting down the plane would at most expose people to radiation and fissionable material.

[@HBHaga]

Until they're armed, a nuclear warhead is basically the world's most expensive clock.

[@dupersuper1938]

I'm adopted and I laughed at the adopted joke.

[@swanpride]

Actually, the people Cap fights against AREN'T mind controlled. The movie makes a point of having Clint mention that he hired a bunch of people who had an issue with Shield. So while Clint is mind controlled, the people working for him aren't, they are just mercenaries who jumped at the opportunity to attack shield.

[@thoarnejones2501]

swanpride no way...out of all the times I've seen the movie i never picked up on that. is that in a deleted scene?

[@navy0287]

No, I believe it gets mentioned during the scene when the launch mechanism for the Tesseract is being worked on, and Loki is told he needs to obtain a specific isotope to aid in the construction. I believe it might've been Selvig (I haven't seen the film in years) who remarks on how so many people are working with them to Clint, and Clint clarifies the situation.

[@thoarnejones2501]

MVG thanks, now i gotta reason to rewatch Avengers...like i need a reason. 😂😂😂

[@navy0287]

When you re-watch the film, look out for the "Loki sneezes" blooper. It happens after Loki attacks the hangar and is walking away with his mind-controlled victims. There is a distance shot where Tom is leading his victims and sneezes, but he doesn't break stride and the scene ends a few seconds later. I watched the movie several times, but I never noticed the blooper until I saw the "Loki attacks" clip on KZbin. It happens right at the end, so unless they re-shot the end of the scene for the film, the blooper should still be there. :)

[@makura5705]

swanpride that's true but the problem is how does Cap know that?

[@Skute]

2:36:00 in the deleted scenes they show people who have already been turned into ash when those people are forced into that room. so it's like they have been repeatedly rounding people up to kill.

[@Ultratron563]

For a second I thought CJ was Shades

[@McCaffery]

Eric is 100% right, Selvig is talking about a colleague who worked with Gamma, and how this guy disappeared and wasn't heard from again.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

I don't think they are suprised by thor existing, but by him showing up when he did.

[@RichardApperition]

This is a better Thor 2 than Dark World is, it sets up Thor and Hulk's relationship

[@copyofdefunct8810]

The SHIELD Hulk footage is actually straight out of the Incredible Hulk.

[@dupersuper1938]

The scene with the waitress seeing Cap take off his mask is in reference to a deleted scene in which he goes to her cafe as Steve.

[@McCaffery]

CJ is cool, he kinda of look like if Conner Neilsen and Steve Baxi did the fusion dance.

[@davidc4579]

how Renner got this role? he was the main actor/character in The Hurt Locker, Oscar winner for best film of the year! Research, guys.

[@ConnerNielsen6]

David Crabtree, also nabbed a Best Supporting Actor nod for The Town (2010). Maybe that also helped?

[@davidc4579]

Conner Nielsen totally forgot about that!

[@keirtanaka2929]

David Crabtree, He was also tha main villain in SWAT along with Samuel L Jackson if I'm not mistaken|

[@Dielawn69]

CJ did a good job. He wasn't awkward on camera and he fit very well with the both of ya.

[@karlmaxey]

cap and eric, you should listen to the song called fight as one from the avengers assemble cartoon. it's a good song for the mcu films

[@Farmeryeti]

Thanatos is also a Spider-Man 2099 villain.

[@EightPageProductions]

Also, isn't the idea that the Chitauri keep taking people into that building and blowing them up with grenades as the Waitress finds those glasses on the floor in the room already?

[@NoPeopleLand]

Whedon's Hulk makes no sense to me, and it's also contradicting what we saw in Incredible Hulk. In that movie he transforms unwittingly many times and he always knows who is he's friend and his foe, he is capable of protecting Betty, he's carefull of not killing almost anyone...heck, at one point he just says ''Leave me alone''... Now in Avengers we have this Hulk at the end Battle, that's fine, but in the middle he just for no reason starts attacking everyone...He could've just made him be mind controlled by Loki!

[@NoPeopleLand]

At the beggining of the video I thought that CJ was Shades and I almost lost my mind!

[@subject8793]

is Eric talking about we're in this together by nine inch nails? that song was In the trailer and outside of the chorus it has nothing to do with the avengers

[@joshgulisano1863]

CJ seems really chill, you should bring him back if you have the chance.

[@makura5705]

Selvic was talking about Banner

[@makura5705]

The speech is in the deleted scenes and it should not have been cut.

[@mr.brooks6106]

It's funny when they bring the thing about the "captain" title that a lot of characters have. I don't think Cap ever really had a rank during his service, it's just a catchy title. I could be wrong. Captain Marvel on the other hand is actually a colonel, but chooses to take up the mantle of Captain Marvel, so she is sort of a legacy.

[@bluehawkfilm4560]

Slight correction, Eric. We have 12, then 15, then 18 here in the UK, not 16.

[@batfan038]

Isn't the actor who tells Banner that he has a condition the same guy with the hat in Alien?

[@ConnerNielsen6]

ShadowofBatman, yessir, Harry Dean Stanton is a long time character actor who's still popping up in stuff at the age of 90! He'll be in Twin Peaks Season 3 later this year

[@B1bk]

Conner Nielsen "The scene with, THAT OLD GUY was supposed to mean something." WHAT?!? Really? SMH.

[@Ren_Davis0531]

It would be cool if CJ came back for Age of Ultron as well.

[@dupersuper1938]

I think Waid makes science bros work.

[@EightPageProductions]

Wait, in England Avengers was rated a 12? I'm not sure what word in Avengers you're saying you think bumped the rating up. (Also its 12/15/18 not 16)

[@standardtom483]

I think it was 'mewling quim'. Which, being a native Englishman, I'm pretty certain isn't our equivalent of the c-word.

[@Farmeryeti]

Yeah, maybe in the 1800s it was, but not anymore. I think Avengers is the only place I've actually heard the word used.

[@makura5705]

They may be surprised to see Thor because the bi frost is gone

[@LewisCox]

This is one my fav Superhero team movie next to Guardians of Galaxy, also the UK version PG-13, is 12-A 1) I live the UK and I know this coz I wanted to see Sam Rami's Spider-Man but couldn't coz off money lows and well I was 11 and that was 12-A 2) 12-A it's where on every Superhero movie and I think Deadpool was maybe 18 in the UK maybe idk that one but every Superhero movie that comes to the UK it's 12-A

[@Immortan_Joel]

CJ has the same laugh as Seth Rogen

[@riderfan215]

Andrew Garfield's Peter is relatable. Especially compared to tobeyface

[@spencermalley10]

Not really

[@redleaderantilles1263]

I agree. Tobey feels like he is out of the 60s which was the point buttttt that does not make him relatable. If someone prefers that version that is fine but honestly I like Andrew cause he is more like a modern teenager. Older viewers find him unrelatable sure but that is cause (I say this as someone who was just barely not a teen when that film came out) teenagers are always hard to understand for the previous generation. And dare I say, my generation kinda does suck sometimes, but still I think their Peter was for the most part relatable especially to people that exact age in 2011. Though I am sure I will relate to the new Peter more since I am just a year older than him. Not that relatability is all there is to the character, I feel like overall Andrew's smugness was part of that Peter's way of pushing people away and being closed off which is very in line with that character. I think he came out of that a bit by the end but sadly without a 3rd film we have no idea if that arc would have continued more. Just my 2 cents on ASM.

[@redleaderantilles1263]

My big problem with Tobey's version is that he feels far to whiny and rarely takes any initiative in his life. Half of his films are him complaining about how he does not know what to do. Then again that same flaw applies to Andrew's version. What I am saying is I totally agree that Marvel getting the rights back is great. Just burn the forest down and start it all over again with Peter actually being proactive. He already seems that way based on the Homecoming trailer. That film seems to be ABOUT that idea.

[@Ren_Davis0531]

+redleader antilles Just curious, but how old are you?

[@redleaderantilles1263]

17.

[@dupersuper1938]

Cobie Smoulders does great, but this Hill clearly ain't comic Hill.

[@riderfan215]

Selvig knew Pym, not Banner

[@McCaffery]

No it was Banner. (Just watched that scene)

[@riderfan215]

Dammit. You're right. Pym was mentioned in an early draft.

[@ClassicPhilosophyFTW]

Seems to be the common opinion that this film is terribly overrated, boring, generic, etc. Well, I grant you plot certainly isn't original (but then, no story idea really is, if you think about it) but the richness of this film lies in its characters and how they interact, and I'm not just talking about the witty banter. If you approach it through each individual hero's perspective and how that pairs with the others, it's actually quite interesting as well as enormously entertaining: eg CA is suffering after losing his future and selfless, whereas Tony selfish and confident, strolling about the helicarrier like he's the one in charge. *of course* they're going to clash, which is why it works when they do. Bruce is "dragged back into the freak-show" exactly where he didn't want to be. Fury and Loki both think themselves superior to others and need to make important decisions, and they are fine with manipulating people to achieve their respective goals. Etc. It also has one the cleverest and engaging scripts ever written, I think. And script is the single most important element of any movie: it is through it that characters and ideas are introduced and develop, which is vastly more important than merely what happens to the people in the movie. Investment, and all that. These reasons are why I''m absolutely fine there's a lot of talking in the movie, more so than action. I'm interested in these people, why they think and behave as they do, their journeys throughout the film. This film is great for making me do that. Independence Day (1996) is great only for being a hell of a ride, this one does that without sacrificing character development.

[@ConnerNielsen6]

I will always be helplessly in love with Scarlett Johansson, but the soccer-mom haircut Black Widow has in the Avengers movies is the worst!

[@dupersuper1938]

But cute is...cute.

[@ConnerNielsen6]

This movie is a lot of fun, but let's be real here: it's barely a good movie. It's clear Whedon came onto the project once the story structure and place in the larger universe had already been established, so it really feels like Whedon's (better) movie is trying to escape the cage of a mediocre framework that chokes his bigger themes into interesting, but fleeting, ideas. And oh my God, I'm so glad Whedon got a better cinematographer and learned how to make a blockbuster film without making it look like a TV show with Age of Ultron, because his TV sensibilities are painful at times.

[@iamsuperbatman1993]

Honestly, this is one of those films that gets worse the more I think about it.

[@1701EarlGrey]

Well, I never thought that it was a good movie to begin with. To long, to boring, lack of focus on one protagonist, story is to generic and heroes fighting each other is both mandatory and unecessary. I think that the only reason why people like this movie is because they are fanboys of those characters. It"s not the worse comicbook movie I ever seen, but it is certainly most overrated comicbook film.

[@MachineFuckingHate]

I think it's a fine film. Grew up reading about The Avengers, but this film did not impress me as much as it did others. Don't know why, honestly. I actually remember loving that Fantastic Four movie from 2005 when I first saw when I was 11. I don't know why this did not have same effect on me, considering that it's a better movie. I think if it had better cinematography, less comedic gags, and more meat to the story, I'd like it much more.

[@christianogden2825]

I'm just gonna say it....I think this movie is one of the most overrated in cinema history, certainly of this genre.

[@mutalemwananshiku4098]

Not really.
