Nope. Not at all. I can enjoy UA for what it is.

I admit the 2nd one did feel kind of disjointed -- plus Giant-Man's death seemed to lack the necessary impact that a heroic death should have.samurai black said:Yeah,the 1st one was classic bc it followed the book more, this sequel seemed like the writers freestyled the script, leaving us with senseless deaths and illogical romances.
C. Lee said:I haven't read the Ultimates books...so I didn't know how close they were to the original stories.
So...the were-panther stuff isn't something addressed and answered in the books...because I was wondering about that myself.
That's interesting...I had assumed that the movies were following the books. In any event, I like the movies...so maybe I should stay away from the books altogether.TheVileOne said:There isn't even an Ultimate Black Panther in the books yet. Just goes to show how much they care about the actual Ultimates source material.
Why they even call it Ultimates, I have no idea.
Make no mistake people, there is nothing "Ultimate" about these Avengers at all. They are more like The Avengers more than anything else.
I don't really mind though since Ultimates sucks anyway. Marvel and LGF were smart enough to see that Ultimates straight up as animated movies would not sell as broadly.
The way they played him up as such a big jerk...I guess it really didn't bother me much that he died.Dr. Fate said:Did anyone else find Giant-Man's death emotionally underwhelming?

Sounds about right.Manic said:I was under the impression Thor recharged Tony's life support systems.
Actually, as soon as they destroy the "mothership" thingy above Wakanda, you see alien vessles around the world just start collapsing. I remember this, because I got a good laugh out of the fact that London Bridge(?) remained in tact throughout the entire invasion, but didn't get destroyed until the aliens were defeated.TheVileOne said:You never see what happened to the rest of the invading aliens all around the world either. After they basically leveled everything.
Are you sure? Just after Giant Man and Iron Man fall from the exploding space ship, you see the sky start to clear all over the world.TheVileOne said:Well that wasn't in the version I saw. No London Bridges falling down.

maybe it WAS the second half of the firstSpidey Rules 2 said:Yes I did. I was hoping he would smack his wife around a little so that we could get a Cap vs Giant Man fight. Oh well.
As for the movie itself, I saw it at Comic Con in San Diego. I'm glad I saw it for free, I won't be buying this movie. I think it would have been better if it followed the books and not seem like the second half of the first movie.
I had no problem with it. I could take or leave it.Dr. Fate said:Do you apporve of the Captain America/Black Widow romance in the animated feature "Ultimate Avengers 2"? Yes? No? Undecided?
I'm curious to see what others think.
