Age of Ultron Your worries/concerns with Age of Ultron

I'm really starting think think we won't see Vision under the final battle and that worries me.
 
I'm still worried that Cap will be portrayed as useless in this. I heard that even Evans has been quoted as saying that he's not really their leader, he actually shares the leadership role and tosses in battle strategy plans with Toney Stark.

Last Avengers, he's pretty much the only Avenger to have not done anything on a great scale. Tony flew the bomb out of the atmosphere, Hulk smashed one of them giant monsters and saved Ironman from falling to his death, Thor brought down one of the monsters and even helped Captain America to his feet when he got shot down, Hawkeye blew Loki off of his speeder jet and Black Widow closed the portal.

And don't give me this "oh he stopped Loki from killing an old guy" Loki was just toying with him there until Ironman shows up.

Cap is the leader, but it wouldn't surprise me if Stark tries to undermine his authority in this film.

Cap saved a building full of hostages in The Avengers, and yes, he DID save that old guy from Loki. So what if Loki was toying with him, that old man is alive because of him.
 
I'm really starting think think we won't see Vision under the final battle and that worries me.

Vision and Thor have a pretty epic fight at Stark Tower. I assume that's near the beginning of he film when all hell breaks loose.

I can almost guarantee you that there will in fact be a final epic showdown between Vision and Ultron in the final third act. There has to be.
 
Well once Ultron gets his vibranium body that pretty much leaves only Vision and SW as the two who's powers can get through that shell to hurt him.
 
And Vision's role is already predicted as the one who's going to take down Ultron, or be the key helper in it anyway. I just hope they don't kill him off. MCU needs great villains.
 
I feel like I won't like Ultron, but whatever. I don't read the comics, so I don't know him to much.

As for Cap being useless, I honestly think I've seen him in the trailers quite a bit. And in a recent interview Chris said Cap starts taking the role further. I think Cap is a bigger player this time around. He obviously gets a few cool scenes fighting Ultron.

I don't think Whedon knew how to use him in Avengers, cause he was focusing on Cap's skills in TFA. But when the Russo's pumped Cap up in TWS, Whedon had a lot more to work with, and so can do more with him now. That's what I think.
 
^^ For the record, the MCU Ultron is mostly Joss' own original creation. Hes loosely based on the comic version of the character.

His origin is different, but that's not the same as saying he's loosely based on the comics. Any reason besides his origin that you say that?
 
This ULTRON isnt really based on any comic version. Its Joss' own concept of what the character is like.
JW: "I didn’t go back to them (the comics) at all. You know, he was an angry robot. Angry all the time! That’s one of the things that drew me to him – this guy’s angry! Angry for like 50 years! You know, they reinvented him in Ultimates and stuff. At one point he was a beautiful woman… I’m not doing that one! I loved him when I read the comics as a kid, because of the scope and the sci-fi and what the team was going through, but I never looked to Ultron himself in the comics for why I love Ultron. I had an idea that I sort of extrapolated from that, so in that way he’s sort of a new guy. But he’s been a tricky one to nail down. Not because the voice eluded me, but just in terms of ‘How much of his agenda is he revealing? How much of his agenda does he even understand?’ And then of course there’s the inevitable over-explaining that we do in these things, where you’re watching and you’re like ‘Okay, he said it enough, people know!’”

I fully agree with this statement. This time Joss may get Cap right, because he got awesome foundations in TWS.
 
BW and HE both are relying on their equipment to take them down, I believe. I doubt it's just karate kicks that are getting the job done.

BW has a pistol though, yes you read correctly a freaking pistol.

That's just lame on some many levels, c'mon now Whedon.
 
I doubt it's any ordinary pistol though especially if its Stark tech.

Then that's just lazy. If he didn't know how to make Steve standout, then he should have asked a few comic book readers or do some other research. Anyways, I do think the one time he is really going to stand out from the rest, is when he finally picks up Mijlnor.

I should probably correct myself by saying that it was not the RUSSO'S who pumped Cap up, but Chris Evans himself. I believe I remember him wanting to give Cap a better fighting style and more acrobatic feats. He was tired of the punch-kick-punch-kick combo.

Chris got what he wanted and it made everything so much better.

I can almost bet that if he didn't say anything, and if TWS didn't improve Cap's skill, he'd still have that punch-kick-punch-kick jumbo he had in TFA and A1.
 
Actually his skill set in Avengers made sense because he hadnt been trained in the kinds of fighting he did after The Battle of NY. Now that he knows all that stuff it wouldnt make sense for him to go backwards. BUT hes not going to be fighting humans in AOU. Although he should appear quicker and more adept at moving. you get my point I think

I remember Evans saying when he met with the Russo's they were already on the same page with the action. Given the results, I don't see how they imagined anything different than what we saw in TWS.
 
I am worried the movie is going to have far more awesomeness than my body can hold. I don't want to explode in the theater.

How is that any lamer than a bow and arrow? I'm sure she's got specialized ammo and isn't just shooting them with ordinary rounds much like Hawkeye isn't just using regular arrows.

Elaborate. Apart from Stark making him, what are the big differences?

Millions of regular humans around the world own and use pistols, as well as the world's police forces and militaries who use higher grade weapons. If BW uses a pistol it needs to be differentiated from a regular pistol and this wasn't done in the first film. Hawkeye uses a much rarer weapon and the specialisations of the individual arrows were made obvious on numerous occasions. It looks like she's getting much improved weaponry for AoU though.

You mean exploding arrows that knocked Loki on his ass and blew a hole in a hellicarrier? Or how about an arrow that can upload a program to shut down an engine on a hellicarrier via usb port? I don't know any handguns that could do all that.

Just to add; Widow using pistols with special ammo is weak. I mean, why stop at a pistol in that case?

Thanks for saving me the trouble :up:

Yes yes yes took the thoughts right out my brain.
