Age of Ultron Aaron Johnson is Quicksilver

[Tony Stark]

My guess is that the Avengers are going to get an ass kicking until they figure out that they are being controlled by Struker. When Cap or Tony realizes this, they get the scepter, at which point QS and SW will fight with the Avengers.

 

[Iceman]

I know Joss is a longtime fan of QS, so hes had decades to think up ways to use him in a movie. Im pretty sure he'll make him really cool visually and character wise.

Is he? Cool. I like super speed in general and it looks like it's being done well but very differently in The Flash TV series and DOFP. Joss will have had a chance to see both of those before he finishes with his own version so it should be at least as good as both, if not better with the extra time and intel.

Hm, well hopefully it won't be one of those "this duo could defeat the entire team of Avengers" things. Hopefully they get defeated because they're not working together like they should.

Game of Thrones does this nicely. They make characters lose/win but they don't really show who is better. You never know who could have won the Battle of the Blackwater, because although Stannis lost the battle was severely undermined by the wild-fire. Again, you don't really know who's better: Jaime or Ned, cause Ned gets stab by an idiot guard from behind.

I saw the movie, and it was fun and exciting, but it looks like you are either trying to troll, or you have some agenda.

Yes he was a fun scene stealer, but he's barely in the movie, and a plot device. There's a bit of an easter egg that the fans will get, but will probably be lost on the general audience.

Bullet time type of effects are nothing new, there wasn't anything really inventive about it. It was fun, the character was funny and his cocky attitude is certainly a scene stealer.

It's clear from the scene at the end of Cap, Joss is going for a darker, edgier story where Magneto will likely be replaced by Baron Struker as they will start out as evil and become good.

QS in DOFP is a fun character, but bears little resemblance to the comic QS. As someone said on the DOFP forums, he is X-men Evolutions QS.

No trolling. No agenda. I'm simply pointing out that in order to fit into a team dynamic, A:AOU's Pietro will have to be quite a bit slower than DOFP's Peter.

 

[UltraSuperGuy]

I wonder if general audiences will get confused by the fact that there are two different Quicksilvers in two different movies. A lot of the GA don't realize these are put out by different studios (especially when the MARVEL logo is put out prominently in X-Men adverts) and now, for the first time, they have the same character being represented by different studios in different movies.

 

[Tony Stark]

The character will be totally different. DOFP really isn't even the comic QS. He's barely the movie, but it is a pretty fun bit when he's in there. The way they do his powers it's not really even super speed, it's more like slow down time type stuff.

As far as the confusion, I'm not sure, yes they are going to both be Quicksilver, but the characterization will be completely different. Baron Strucker will be the replacement for Magneto. The only other difference is based on Cap2 it seems like they gained their powers rather than were born with them, but even that's a little unclear.

With SW there is no controversy. There was a picture on the internet of a little girl in a ballerina dress from the movie. The scene was cut from the film.

I just find it kind of funny on the DOFP forums, people trying to make this some battle about which will be better. He's got a fun role in the film, but much like a lot of the side X-men characters the interpretation is nothing like the comic book. And I have to say that DOFP embraces the comics in a way the other films never did. But it is definitely the most "comic book" like X-men film, but despite that QS is nothing like his comic counterpart.

 

[UltraSuperGuy]

But that's my point though, the two Quicksilvers will be different from each other and the GA will be confused as to why they are different, not understanding that these are two different studios at work.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

It's not brain surgery. If they are confused people will let them know. And there's always that thing called the internet.

That is super speed. The world being slowed down is how a "speedster" like Quicksilver or Flash perceives it. It's a good way to show how fast their reflexes are.

And that is a problem with using "speedsters". Flash is constantly being written in a way that he forgets he has super speed. Otherwise he'd defeat his enemies in 2 panels of a comic.

They are definitely amongst the hardest characters to write well and not come across as broken. It'll be interesting to see how Joss incorporates Quicksilver. Because someone who has multi-mach reflexes could speed blitz all the Avengers with no problem. Thor for example hasn't been given any speed feats so far.

 

[metaphysician]

Remember, though, being fast doesn't matter if you can't do anything to the target. Quicksilver shouldn't be able to hurt Hulk or Thor at all, and while he could probably do stuff to Iron Man ( the armor comes off, after all ), that doesn't help if Tony is airborne.

but he could easily lead Hulk into taking Thor out. he is kind of mindless and violent; not really caring what he hits when he lashes out. Quicksilver could, concievably, trick Hulk into taking out the other Avengers. and that's all that's required. Hulk doesn't have a gameplan of his own or a real motive to stop Hydra or the Twins. he's just wander off.

 

[Mr. Dent]

The character in Avengers will even have a different name. Quicksilver in DOFP is named Peter. He's American. He lives with his mother. It's a completely different character from the comics and what will be in the Avengers.

The Avengers version will be named Pietro, he'll be Eastern European, he'll be an orphan like the comics, etc.

Hell, he was never even called Quicksilver in the movie. The only thing they will have in common is super speed. And on top of all that, Age of Ultron will have about 2 times the audience of DOFP if not more. So there is really no way the GA will be confused.

They've done the bullet time thing to death though. Even though he doesn't have super speed, the jail break scene is very much like the spider-sense scene in TASM2, where spidey is able to quickly ascertain the folks on the staircase who are about to be electrocuted and with one of his webshooters broken is able to save everyone.

From the post credit scene in TWS, and from the production art, it looks like Joss is going for QS being able to run and power through things. Clearly it looks like he's going for the look that he's on the edge of being out of control.

People aren't going to be any more confused by that than they are that Andrew Garfield is Spider-Man now and Dane DeHaan is Harry Osborn. Or Ben Affleck is Batman. Or that Sean Connery's James Bond in 1983's "Never Say Never Again" ran concurrently with Roger Moore's 007 in "Octopussy."

t:

Thanks! I busted up the first time I read that. And what made it funnier is I remember watching that episode of Murder she wrote. LOL

 

[sabrecmc]

QS definitely stole the movie in DoFP...but it did make you wonder why they didn't just have QS solve all of their problems. It will be interesting to see how Joss handles it.

 

[Tony Stark]

I don't think he stole the movie, but he was a highlight. DOFP is a very dark movie. Probably the darkest of all of them so QS stands out because it's really one of the few pieces of levity in the film.

You're right QS does come off as "too" powerful, he's clearly more powerful than Magneto and Xavier was still trying to regain control of his power, so he wasn't of use.

QS as presented could have easily solved all the plot problems.

As I said, it looks like Joss is presenting QS like he's still trying to gain control over his power. Plus they are struggling with Hydra controlling them.

 

[TheVision]

^^ It would be great to see QS be too fast to control himself and just smash into things.

 

[guy66657]

Well we saw how Pietro was personality wise in DOFP. Tbh, he really reminded me of the Pietro from X-Men Evolution. How do you think Joss will portray Pietro's personality in AOU? Maybe show the more angry side of the character and such? And it also does help that he has Wanda with him to show another side to his character.

 

[TheVision]

Elizabeth mentioned that Pietro has a funny sense of humor because hes so fast. Not sure how *****ey he'll be.

 

[Iceman]

The DOFP Quicksilver was awesome but that amazing scene has left him overpowered to continue unless he sustains some kind of long term injury that slows him down a bit. And as others have said he is more like the Evolution version so the Avengers version can be very different. I'm just as excited to see ATJ in action as before, actually probably more so now we already know that speedsters can be done so well. Will be a great complement to the team when he joins and a good antagonist beforehand. Sure he can send Hulk into a rage too!

 

[terry78]

Has it ever been established that his aging has slowed as a possible explanation, even though they ain't technically the same character.

 

[Keyser Soze]

On Thursday, I saw Godzilla and X-Men: Days of Future Past on the same day. And after Aaron-Taylor Johnson underwhelmed in the former, and Evan Peters damn near stole the show with his mischievous take on Quicksilver in the latter, all of a sudden my opinion that the MCU Quicksilver would of course be leagues better than the Fox version feels less secure.

I think one smart way to differentiate them will be in characterisation. Evan Peters emphasized the fun aspect of Quicksilver's powers, made the super-speed seem really cool and entertaining. Based on what little we've seen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's take presents Quicksilver's super-speed as more of an affliction, allowing for a darker, more tormented spin on the character.

 

[Silvermoth]

I'm still excited (as I've always been except right at the moment it was announced that Pietro was in dofp) that having two quicksilvers will be wonderfully exciting and show some great character moments so nothing's changed for me post dofp
