You have to upload it first at image hosting sites like imgur or imageshack. Then you can insert the image over a link here.

You're welcome . Another little hint: You can put the link with the 'insert image button' in your post, then the picture is shown in your post.
thanks for that as well.. i was struggling with why the picture wasnt loading; then i realized that i needed the image link for blogs
I posted it in the Tom Hiddleston/Loki thread. Here it is for anyone that might've not seen it (side note: the full popcorn taxi q&a video is supposed to be up tomorrow)Has anyone here posted Tom doing Loki's Avengers dialogue as Owen Wilson yet? I can't, but if someone would, it's a real treat.

If Owen Wilson played Loki (from the Popcorn Taxi Q&A session)
Thank you so much.
Got chills when I saw that. The villains of Phase two so far look formidable, menacing and a huge threat to the heroes. Can't wait to see what Winter Soldier does to Cap.t:
You just described all the first phase villains as well. Stane, Loki, Red Skull, Vanko, the Betty situation. If anything, the first phase was even more personal.Well the villains of the Phase 2 films are definitely taking the fight to the heroes at their doorsteps, let along making it very personal for them.
You had "Mandarin" (aka Killian), attacking Tony at his house and torturing his girlfriend, before being presented as the person responsible for her supposed death as well.
Then you have Malekith, an enemy that Thor's grandfather had to contend with, who unleashes an siege on Asgard and most likely kills Frigga, before torturing Jane at some point.
And finally, you have the Winter Soldier, who we all know is Bucky, which that in itself makes it personal to Steve, let alone all of the bureaucratic stuff that takes place in the film for SHIELD.
First, everyone tries to kill Pepper. Stane did, Vanko did, and Killian did. It isn't really something new.Perhaps; but Stane didn't actually directly kill someone that Tony "was" closed to. Killian killed off Tony's ex, and it looked as though he had killed Pepper as well, before having tortured her for awhile.
Vanko called out the Stark family name. Hence the expo being in the film. Also, almost got his identity taken from him.And Vanko, imho, really didn't do much other than ambushing Tony while he was out racing. He never really killed or wounded anyone close to Tony.
More so then that, Hydra was responsible for the "death" of their shared "father" in Erskine and we all know what happened to Bucky.Red Skull, yeah, he did attack Steve close to home as well.
But it is completely personal. That is the point. They are brothers. Does it get more personal then that? Loki sent the Destroyer to kill his brother.And Loki, well other than Loki being Thor's brother, it didn't really feel like the general stakes were all that high since it's kind of hard to be against Loki trying to wipe out the frost Giants when they're presented as the villains of the story.lol

That wasn't really the question though. The first phase was a bunch of personal situations, hitting the main characters at home.Killian was a far more interesting villain than Stane and Vanko. That clown trolled the whole country into thinking the Mandarin was real and almost destroyed Tony's life entirely. I actually felt Tony's life was more at risk this time when he was duking it out with Killian that he did with Stane and Vanko. And he had different motives than Vanko but more or less the the same with Stane. His just more was more intelligent.t:
I never said there weren't higher stakes. I am just saying they aren't more personal or more "at home" for the main characters.And when did Vanko try to kill Pepper? And Killian didn't really try to kill Pepper.
It just seems to me that in Phase Two, the stakes are much higher than Phase one.
That wasn't really the question though. The first phase was a bunch of personal situations, hitting the main characters at home.
For what it is worth, I really like Killian, but his entire plan is far more contrived then Stane. I preferred Stane as villian and threat. Even with the way he said "Tony".

And yeah, Vanko almost killed Pepper twice. Once in the car and once when he blew the expo. And Killian knew the risk of putting that stuff in Pepper's body.

If you streamline his plan, it probably works. But his need to be theatrical, get revenge and play about result in his undoing in the most ridiculous way.How?
And thus Pepper's life was put in danger. There was no way Vanko was trying to kill Tony with the explosion. All he had to do was fly away.More like Pepper was caught in the crossfire with Vanko. He never directly tried to kill her the way Stane did. Oh Killian was trying to make Pepper "perfect" not trying to kill her.

Tv Spot during SNF.

Kill Rhodes, kill the President. Don't kill your doctor. Have more then a couple of fools watching Tony.

And you know what Killian was doing and we all know what could have happened. That is the point.
Killian didn't want revenge.
But Pepper is once again a damsel in ditress. Are you really arguing this point?Those drones were laying around as a result of being taken out by Tony though, I don't think Vanko was directly trying to kill Pepper when he self-destructed them. Killian was in love with Pepper that's why he took her hostage, as his trophy. Nonetheless, yes we knew what could happen but I thought she was way past the point of exploding though.
That is exactly what he wants.
But Pepper is once again a damsel in ditress. Are you really arguing this point?
And Killian is not in love with Pepper. She is a trophy, a prize. Proof he beat Tony. They is why they use the phrase trophy. Does he seem all that concerned when he thinks she falls to her death? Nope. He doesn't really care for her.
And I don't think you understand how Extremis works. There is always the risk someone gets to hot. That is why they needed Tony. Otherwise, he'd had already been dead.
