Age of Ultron Action scenes you want to see

As for Thor and lightning, certainly, lightning is fast enough to hit Quicksilver. The issue is one of aiming. In the time between when Thor thinks "lightning bolt!" and the lightning actually reaches Pietro, he can have moved quite a ways. So it somewhat depends on if Mjolnir has some degree of auto-targeting capacity, allowing him to think "zap Pietro" and Mjolnir aims for him, rather than requiring him to somehow see the guy.

( or he could just fill a huge area with some kind of area effect weather attack or shockwave, which would probably easier if messier )
 
Move Thor hasn't really been given any speed feats so far really.

It'd be cool if he was as fast as lightning though. I picture a scene where Ultron is getting hit by lightning... well it appears he is to normal human perception. But really it's Thor traveling through the lightning and smashing Ultron with Mjolnir.

I suppose if they want to do something new with Thor's powerset and dynamic within the team, he could imbue himself with electricity to become stronger and faster. Mjolnir acts as the lightning rod/channel of course, we don't want Thor to become a male Storm or blond haired Electro. But after he charges up (essentially the film version of Odin Force), he can sort of speed blitz and give the likes of Hulk a physical beatdown. But maybe he just can't support this mode 24/7 and only uses it in drastic situations.

Anyways, as much as I like the Hulk, I take back what I said about wanting Hulk to catch/clothesline Quicksilver. It'd just be PIS, and as someone else stated, Hulk's swinging arm would basically be like a stationary to a full speed QS.

No, if Hulk wants to catch QS off guard, it'd have to be with a sonic clap or immense ground shatter.
 
Yea it'd be cool if he did a thunder clap or something.
 
Yea, I think the Hulk would have to resort to one of his Thunder claps or maybe smash the ground so hard that it would result in a shock wave. Assuming Quicksilver goes at about Mach 1 (speed of sound... around 340 m/s) at peak velocity, it'd would be awesome to go slow-mo at that moment to show him straining to try to outrun the shockwave.

Side note: Some calculations have DOFP Quicksilver moving at 9000 m/s which, I believe we can all agree, is absurdly overpowered.
 
That presumes you can work with real world physics. You really can't, with speedsters. So, no, running really fast doesn't automatically make a speedster hit harder. It only makes a speedster hit harder, if the speedster is shown using it to hit harder.


^ makes no sense. Even in a comic book world it can be assumed Energy = 1/2mv^2
 
I would say he's more than Mach 1. I'd say high end supersonic, around Mach 5. So around 1800 m/s.

It's fast as hell, but compared to other speedsters he's not that powerful. The likes of Silver Surfer, The Runner, Makkari, Flash etc... Quicksilver is like a snail to them.
 
Well I don't think Pietro will be as fast as he was portrayed in DOFP. He's definately be slower. I could be wrong though.
 
He's not THAT massive, and MOS Supes isn't light speed. My point still stands

If you travel at near-lightspeed, which comic Superman *does*? You don't need to be massive. A dust speck traveling at 0.9c would pretty much destroy the world just from traveling through the atmosphere, without even hitting the surface.

You really, really can't apply physics to superheroes.

You missed the part where I said Comic book MOVIES! (which have always been more grounded than the comics) seem to follow physics better. yes in the comics Supes flies that fast but in MOS we haven;t seen Supes fly nearly that fast. He is faster than an ICBM but not anywhere near c in the movies.

Even something as massive as a baseball near the speed of light won't destroy as much as you think: https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/

but would be pretty damaging. But we saw lots of destruction from supes flying much slower in MOS

Also...light particles have a mass and they move at the speed of light and we aren't all dead yet so no......Don't argue with an engineer :p
 
All of these are great but it would also be interesting if, at some point during the movie, we see Thanos warp to Earth and massacre a character (Von Strucker?) in order to gain access to a stone, before leaving.

I wouldn't mind if he's at least supersonic. Wasn't the QS in dofp light speed?

I want a scene where Hawkeye takes a bullseye shot at an unflinching Strucker, and we follow the path of the arrow to the target. As it flies closer to Strucker, from the periphery we see Quicksilver catch up to the arrow and grab it before it hits its intended target.

I still wanna see this, regardless of if it was already used as a teaser for arrow and Flash.
 
I wanna see Cap display the abilities he had in TWS. That's my number one.
Then I also wanna see Thor do some crazy stuff with his lightning. The first Avengers was a step in the right direction for him. But I hope they take it a little further
 
He looked like he was teleporting.

Don't you just have to move faster than the eye can see to accomplish that with super speed?

Yeah, Cap was badass in TWS, def. wanna see more of his fighting style in that film.

Yeah, that's correct. Superspeed has been portrayed differently though. Pietro in AOU will be leaving a streak as he runs rather than look like he's teleporting.
 
To me it seemed that the DOFP QS was able to manipulate time rather than speed. During the kitchen sequence he was standing and walking and everything was going slowly, he wasn't running really fast. For AOU, I'd hope he's closer to the speed of sound.

I love that effect too. The after-credits scene in Captain America: TWS reminded me of Quicksilver's speed streak from X-Men Evolution.
 
Looking forward to see what Joss comes up with for another BW moment where she outsmarts someone bigger and badder than her. Like in Avengers and TWS. Nothing too flashy. Just some sweet BW trickery.

That was super speed. It all happened in a split second but they slowed down the scene to show what QS was doing.
 
Pietro didn't need to be anywhere near lightspeed to do the stuff he did in DOFP. He wasn't even fast enough to make bullets stationary; from his perspective, they were still moving, just slowly.
 
I still feel as though if real world physics were to apply, Quicksilver moving that quickly around that little room would basically create a sonic boom or something. Or super heat it so everyone burns to death (well, except maybe Wolverine).

Cause for him to be able to do all that so casually, in what amounted to about 2 seconds in real time, well damn, that's a lot of velocity and force rapidly zipping around. He'd basically be a highly destructive laser beam.

So that's why physics can never apply to that scene, and DOFP Quicksilver is OP.

For AoU Quicksilver, we kind of have an idea of how he moves from the Winter Soldier stinger. I think his movement is going to be a lot more visceral than simply appearing on the other side of the room in the blink of an eye. He leaves a streak, and has a certain weight to his movement. I think that no matter how fast they portray him moving, he's always going to have a sense of friction and force to him. He wouldn't have to dodge things, he'd barge right through them, because he's a kinetic force that's defying everything in his path, from obstacles, to Ultron bots, to the very air particles around him. I probably sound more like I'm describing Juggernaut than Quicksilver, but I think that's the most realistic approach you can take to a speedster.

And if he approaches anywhere near DOFP speeds, then he might as well turn into an energy form and be a streak of electricity bouncing around the battlefield. However that's a feat best reserved for the Flash. I don't remember QS in the comics being anywhere near that impressive.

The bold would be awesome to see! I also wanna see what Scarlet witch can do. What is her power anyway? In the X-Men Evolution cartoon she basically used them as kind of a jinx type thing, where Cyclops shot his optic beams at her and it redirected itself to the team. Or when Kitty(Shadowcat) tried to sneak up behind her she got stuck in the ground.
