What If?...Avengers: Age of Ultron (Part 2) | Beyond Pictures

[@litovietbui]

This is great. You didn't just simply create an entirely new story, you managed to keep much of the original ideas intact, set pieces, relationships, characters, etc. It's more or less the same story, but told differently that flows better with a bit more depth. Also, Wonderful 101!

[@vermis8344]

Even if this pair of videos weren't so very insightful and articulate, they'd be insanely entertaining. That storm of pop culture references - like a pictorial language that almost delivered the gist of your story by itself, and drove it home. I wouldn't really say I've got superhero fatigue yet, even in 2017, but I've been kind of disappointed in a few Marvel movies. Age of Ultron might have been the first. It didn't seem to have much beyond twirling fight scenes and moody people striking poses. Ultron's motivation... well, I can't really remember what Ultron's motivation was. I think I was trying too hard to ignore the fact that it was James Spader delivering Joss Whedon's lines. Your motivation for him is much more compelling, and in itself and as part of a whole story, much more coherent.

[@sapheiron]

Lots of good ideas here. I specifically loved your take on Thor. -_- But seriously, you have a way of looking past the superficial and seeing the actual heart of a story that I've never seen before or since. Your videos taught me more about storytelling than 4 semesters of comparative literature and I'll watch/read/listen to/consume everything you ever make if I can find it. I promise.

+gavi888 much appreciated thanks, brother

[@scorchtongue]

I don't know about the giant child. I like that's he not the typical villain, and can be actually fun if you play him right. Otoh, there's something to be said for the anti-stark AOU had going. They could have gone further with it. I like the planning/training scene! I like the freaking out over fucking teenagers being on their level. As for Ultrons plan? Hmm. "Tony but not" got played out in iron man 3. Visions entrance needs to be really good btw to stop it from being cliche; so double down on Ultron having a son! Go for a full on Lion King "everything on the horizon is your kingdom", except with insanely smart robot gods. Between the time Ultron creates him and the Avengers show up, Vision should be in his rebellious teenager phase; great comedy, lets him connect with the twins and allows the avengers a way to deal with him. I wouldn't have him join their side immediately though; instead he turns the twins onto his side and they all fuck off for a bit. Ok, back to the plan: i think you need to think less about AI abilites (though they're obviously used) and more about being genuinely clever. For a minute in Civil War, i thought this guys plan is smart, and if i think that about Zemo Ultron should be a different kettle of fish. We've all seen evil AI, we'll all be expecting their tricks. Come out of left field, somehow. If he has a robot army, it should be... a parody of the avengers and not in the supervillain way. Robots covered in smiley faces and peace signs for hulk to smash, extremely american robots for cap to fight and so on. If Ultron's childish make us notice. If tony's ego is important (as always) have him call the avengers once he's tried and failed to handle ultron himself. It will give their relationship that much more of a personal touch, but make it snappy.

[@juliusruizblanco5117]

God i love these two videos and i love your channel. Your editing, humor, use of music, old and new pop-culture context and references, musical segments and thoughtful ideas and themes and making all of these factors to work, entertain and complement each other in one of the most articulate, well-structured and passionate rewrites i seen in the superhero genre. You have become one of my absolute favourites in youtube very freaking quickly man. And your ending reminded me that i need a toilet right now or else i'm gonna explode. Believe me, you inspire a lot ;)

[@uniqueness3516]

I personally feel like that while the original film is good, it could've been a lot better. This is what the film should've been! Well done B- Mask! Well done!👏👏👏

[@JPCorwyn]

Even if I DIDN'T agree with the overwhelming majority of your plot and plan; I'd love you for a Blake 7 reference like that. I'd make some tweaks, but I really like your plot/plan here, mate. :)

[@furrybogard9724]

Like the Marvel films and the pay off to wait to the end of the credits, your video has a treat of more Boingo at its end. A like alone for that.

[@MrDukeDumas]

This was simply amazing.

[@metawarp7446]

Man, what a masterpiece of a video

[@munjatkumo1929]

9:12 Postman Pat-terminators?????? The first video I didn`t really care for, but this second vid has good stuff. This pair of vids is/would be a good first draft for a story. (No pressure to make it of course.) I for example like how off-the -walls the everyone vs. Ultron sequences are, and Avengers using outdated tech. Btw the Weird science- and Little girls-music videos were great.

[@Sonyaxoxo]

i didn't watch many live action superhero films because... well, you know. so this was my Ultron. thank you. bravo!

[@thetriptrap622]

This was a good video, and I discovered this too late I didn't pay much attention to them, after discovered your channel, because they were old, but boy oh boy I made a mistake! Now I have taken the time to see them and guys the ideas are very interesting and I will love to see something like this!

[@Ferdinand208]

Shammy brought me here! I love this stuff. You've put an insane amount of effort in your video and I enjoyed it more than the big budget movie.

[@irregular1430]

i came here to show my friend and this was just uploaded! amazing!

[@cameronjohnson918]

Those final seconds really recontextualised the Sly Retrospectives for me

[@sweetdavey2979]

I both love and hate the fact that these were more interesting to watch than alot of Superhero movies.

[@PowersOfDarkness]

keep coming back because its just so damn good

[@GhashIronhand]

Wow, just wow, great idea, great take so far Gotta admit that your take not only makes everything deeper and far more interesting in the long run, but starts setting up things nicely for the follow up (If you'd want to go with Civil War so early in the game, never understood why they would, but whatever), it seems definetly like a story that flows together much better than what we got at the very least, not to mention everyone has something to add to it, its a movie about a team after all

[@Austin_Bundy]

This was incredible, great work

[@ohawawe209]

Great content from this channel so far! i cant wait to see more! keep up the good work!

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

1:46 HOLY COW That DH robot turning off sound effect is used in a song I have!

[@ivanhagstrom5601]

The editing is great!

[@captainpepsi353]

dude....i think u just made a master piece

[@Lysander45]

It must have taken a fair while to get all those clips together, unless somehow like some digital hoarder you just collect them on your computer out of reflex.

[@transhumanhivemind3048]

I feel that your version of events work better as a tv show rather then a movie. Film is just too short to do the story justice. The movie you just described would be longer then lord of the rings.

[@lunatic4152]

Transhuman Hivemind no way dude. Just cause it sounds long it wouldn't be a tv show. This is the perfect story for age of ultron but marvel played it safe.

[@Dukect]

This was awesome man your ideas are very thought provoking and I wish this was what we had in Age of Ultron instead of what we got. But hey here's hoping Civil War is good

[@LostCourage]

To say this exceeded my expectations is an vast understatement.

[@ThePonderer]

Even though I still unconditionally love this movie, I also love what you've done here, especially vulnerable ow that I've started writing my own equivalent for Batman v Superman.

[@dragonphoreal]

That does sound interesting. I would like to see it. Still think they should have not done DARK KNIGHT RISES and just wait for 2016 for Nolan to adapt Frank Miller's DARK KNIGHT RETURNS to bring that already established Batman into the DCEU.

[@ThePonderer]

It's on my channel. I put a lot of work into the visuals but they then proceeded to get deleted. Oh well. With the exception of a couple minutes toward the end it's audio only, if you wanna check it out.

[@uniqueness3516]

I hope he does a video about BvS someday. That'd be awesome!

[@lunatic4152]

Shenyongo The Dragon Slayer that's a terrible idea. Nolans batman doesn't fit with superman or any other. It's the art of storytelling sometimes leave things on its own.

[@FolstrimHori]

FUCK YEAH, TABLES TURN

[@BMask]

+FolstrimHori Uniiiiiite FIST

[@coalangley5443]

This is so much better it’s insane I feel like there in actual trouble

[@demonmurphy]

This was fucking great, B-Mask. Wouldn't mind seeing more of these.

[@andystevens6014]

Part 4 when?

[@negavenom]

As much as I like the movie , but I love your version better. Keep up with the great work. :)

[@L3monsta]

Batman V Superman next right?

[@BMask]

+L3monsta Lol never Lots of other people said things I would say about it though

[@dragonphoreal]

+B- Mask "YOU JUST HATE IT CAUSE YOU HAVE MARVEL BIAS" Just kidding, I am just trying to immitate the DC fanboys who have accused those skeptical of this movie as having some kind of vendetta against DC. What do you have to say on that matter?

[@L3monsta]

B- Mask Yeah, it wasn't half the movie it should have been

[@BMask]

The Marvel bias thing really ignores the huge amount of DC fans who hate the movie. A lot of the general public who don't care about this stuff will openly go and experience both, and their online presence won't be as great. People who give a shit about DC specifically though? Way more vocal. Luckily they kill Marvel in the animation deparment at the moment so there is some balance.

[@dragonphoreal]

B- Mask As for animation, DC gives us animated movies for their comic book characters that actually feel like they compliment the material, while MARVEL Animation just gives us toy-commercials. Just look at the 'Hulk and Iron Man' and 'Captain America and Iron Man' direct to DVD movies and their animated slate on Disney channel. Like I literally think AVENGERS: Earth Mightiest Heroes was only cancelled just to make way for another Avengers cartoon to market the MCU, even though they were practically doing that with poor Spidey (but hey that is what happens when you let the "geniuses" who gave us Ben 10 make a Spiderman cartoon; they are going to do a Mega man series, can't wait to see how disastrous that becomes). What do you think? Why does MARVEL suck at animation?

[@TechnicallyGrey]

I would have loved the Ultron from Heros of tomorrow. You know the one who wiped out the supers of the world and had his own country.

[@jessicahall8237]

I did Like the age of ultron movie. how ever.. this ... this story i think its amazing I can not compare it to the comic book counter part as I have not read it. but taking my understanding of the characters in the movie universe I think this story would of been incredible to see and honestly to my self it makes the movie feel a little pale in comparison. I would love to see some kind of media portraying this story, a what if comic would be amazing. how ever I know that is rather unlikely. ♥

[@StrangePan]

I lost it at the Seinfeld rift

[@superfighter064]

So I’m a couple years late for this but uhh. What’s the music at 13:53 Great rewrite but.. why did quicksilver still have to die ?

[@janocronismo]

The Metropolis reference was so great

[@TheCommonGentry]

you can see the thumbprint to FF in this. minus the poop lol you always had the talent for editing.

[@HowlingFlames]

*applause* if anything it was an entertaining watch :)

[@Bluemilk92]

I really wish, I had what it took to make this video. I'm sure you've wondered "what's the point of making this, I'm just a random dude with an opinion", but I envy you. You put a lot of work into something, an effort to show the world your ideas. There are so many things I want to say, but I haven't the ambition to go and say them. To learn to edit, to write, to present something in a way that at the very least, earns the right to be called entertainment. Not shouting into the void, but making something that someone _could_ enjoy viewing, whilst also expressing yourself. I envy you, and I hope someday I can manage to achieve what you did, with this video.

[@Bluemilk92]

@@Clouddancer44 Thank you so much for the very inspired answer. Yes, I have considered writing, just never attempted it. I'm an avid reader, so writing feels like a natural extension. I may just follow through on that instinct. I'm going to copy-paste your comment onto my ever-open Windows "Notepad" called "temp.txt" It's *the* place I put things, and functions like something halfway between a journal and a planner. I don't make consistent updates, but random thoughts go there. I've considered tackling writing for a long time, and it means a lot to get encouraged in a any way. Thanks

[@Sentryman002]

You've inspired me, my friend.

[@orinchaoskeeper]

can somebody tell me if there's a list of music used in this video? I'm specifically looking for the music at 2:48

[@digitalcircuit]

Portal 2 soundtrack, "The Part Where He Kills You", at 3m:16s in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noC7o5p6ebGjj9km16s You might notice a few other songs from the Portal 2 soundtrack in both part 1 and part 2, too.

[@dragonphoreal]

This was amazing. Almost as good as the "What if the prequels were good" rewrites, probably better actually. Why do people get at those who criticize differences from the source material? Isn't that the point, that the movie needs to understand the source material and apply it instead of changing things for the sake of changing them?

[@BMask]

+Brandon Dozier High praise indeed! Thanks a bunch =) I think sometimes it's an easy catch all thing to go 'well you're just too much of a fanboy so you can't see how this works as a film.' Sometimes they argue that it wouldn't be realistic enough, and then the creators make it so that Doctor doom GROWS his armour (as opposed to applying it normally like in the Jack Kirby comic 70 years or so prior?) All fans want is the general feeling to be there, the general sense of inspiration they got when they first read those comics, and it's always been hard for them to vocalise that. I'm very sure that they believe that, if you also got to experience that, then you might like it even more if you do so already, and everybody can benefit. But transferring that feeling to someone else in a debate is just impossible, the other person has no frame of reference to agree with them on . I'd like to see the way that discussion unfolds change.

[@Deadlatinotaku]

Anybody know the music for 14:00 ?

[@metalskulkbanepl161]

During the ending song there is a weird thing with Sonic the Hedgehog. Anyone recognizes it?

[@moroii]

I liked it.

[@ArtisticLayman]

That was brilliant.

[@uniqueness3516]

Ikr?!

[@danielconley2185]

How did you make this without triggering a copyright violation?

[@BMask]

+Daniel Conley Haha sadly I don't think I avoided that. Oingo Boingo means the video can't play on phones for some people apparently.

[@danielconley2185]

that shit is so frustrating

[@andystevens6014]

+B- Mask If JoJo's bizzare Adventure couldn't do it what hope did you have. Who knew Oingo Boingo would have such strict copyrighting

[@garbagebagbaby]

I'd watch this And be stoked

[@superpippo93x]

Both your Ultron videos result as "not available". It doesn't specify why, it's probably region locking... do you have them published on any other site? I'm genuinely curious to see them...

[@USSMariner]

I would love to illustrate bits of this.

You made me feel sad for ultron. Also i wonder what kind of place tony went for his "vacation"
