Age of Ultron The Avengers 2! The Official News and Speculation Thread - - - - - Part 40

Whedon doesn't understand the character. He's gonna get nerfed goddamit!!!! But seriously, looks like Cap is getting a power upgrade in this film.

 

[MahvelBaby!]

Waaaaaaah lol

regarding the Bruce/Natasha pairing....I really don't care as long as the film is great and it is a well written relationship, which I think Whedon could do wonders with.

 

[xDumpweed182x]

So Cap today, Ultron or the twins tomorrow?

Not sure if this poster was serious, but...

Have you guys considered that BW is romancing Banner exclusively as a way to possibly exploit a weakness in an otherwise unstoppable, uncontrollable rage monster?

I LOVED that in CA:TWS, halfway through the film Natasha asks Steve what "he wants her to be." He tells her, "a friend", which is exactly what she then acts like through the rest of the film. I get the sense that she does this both out of respect for Cap, but more importantly because she sees Steve as the best bet for her own quest to get revenge for Fury's death.

I see Widow working the same way for Banner/Hulk - she may appreciate what Banner/Hulk brings to the team, but more importantly, by "dating" him she keeps a greater level of control and involvement in an unpredictable and even possibly dangerous threat to the team.

Looking at it this way, Natasha's decision to get "close" with Banner becomes a position of strategic strength for her, and also is in keeping with her character as we've seen up to this point. Cold? Yes. Duplicitous? A bit. Black Widow? Absolutely.

(Plus, delicious conflict when Banner learns that this was why she was so willing to get close to him!)

I have no problem with the relationship if this is how it works out.

Yes I was being serious as I think there are some questions about this romance IF its shown as a genuine relationship.

But in another post, I raised a similar point to yours about why this relationship has been included and if she's trying to seduce Banner for a darker purpose leading to betrayal. They have devoted a lot of time to showing the Black Widow programme and questioning Widows motives/morals in TWS.

Your idea is really good and the El Maybe scoop noted that she was the one pushing for them to get together. Plus I got the impression she has issues with Fury/SHIELD after he didn't trust her in TWS and may use this relationship to gain a strategic advantage (her new role hinted at in TWS). In your scenario the Johannesberg scene may relate to when Bruce finds out.

Bruce and Natasha are about to get busy.

I remember in the beginning of the movie we were shooting the end of the movie, as movies go, and there was this moment where it’s more of a chatty bit for Hawkeye and we realized, “Well we’re running out of time and we’re doing all this action stuff, let’s just finish all the action and maybe we can do the talky bit back on stage or something.” Because he was just a little afraid, he was like, “This is the first time we really kind of see him in his personality or what his sense of humor might be, or who he really is.”

Uh what?

The first time we see what his personality is isn't till the end of the film

I read that the same. Renner also states 'he was just a little afraid' - maybe it relates to Hawkeye being scared in that scene and we learn more about him when he's under pressure?

The being afraid was about Whedon. Whedon was afraid.

 

[Keehar]

Has Cap got a poster yet?

 

[The Caped Knight]

Not yet, I'm awaiting !

 

[Keehar]

Who's left to still get one?

 

[Ghostcrow13]

Cap, Twins, Vision, Ultron, maybe Hill

 

[HunBoy]

 

[Silvermoon]

nevermind, got beaten too it (by like seconds, so annoying)

 

[Darkraid]

Why do I keep seeing the same Ultron drones on all those posters?

 

[take3]

that jawline

 

[rashad]

Cheaper and faster to just cut and paste the heroes into each poster.

Having just heard his interview, he does admittedly say that Cap gets thrown around a lot, but that's because Ultron and the drones are so tough and they are above Cap. Which makes sense, would be lame if the drones were fodder for the likes of Cap.

 

[terry78]

Cap's true strength is in his strategic mindset, basically. The other guys on the team are smart, but they're not soldiers.

Agreed, but his mind would still be no match for Ultron's which given that it sounds like the drones have a hive mind situation then they would also be no match.

I think Cap at least struggling with the drones makes sense, and makes it a better film, one of the biggest complaints was how easy the Chitauri were, don't want that again.

Leave the mass drone destruction to Thor Hulk and the Twins

 

[terry78]

Well, I take it back in a sense that Thor is kind of a military guy technically but he's more about the rousing good time warrior kind of battle play.

We all know Thor is dumb as hell in combat the guy could whip up a hurricane whenever he wants, but he just resorts to punching and hammering

 

[TheVision]

I dont expect Batroc type fights. Theres gonna be a lot of grappling and punching. Robots dont move like humans. Hopefully theyll be tougher than Chitauri too.

Oh man...just imagine how it would be for cap in infinity war, fighting wise.

he will get thrown around even more then. Haha

 

[TheVision]

Caps not invincible and theres gonna be different types of fighting for everyone he faces. whether its a Chitauri, Batroc, Loki or a drone. Hes got faster, better skills now, so that should help but he can only do so much.

Ill find it strange if Cap is fighting in Infinity War with only a cloth costume. Wont he need some type of armored suit?
