Despite it being basically confirmed that we're also getting Avengers and Spider-Man trailers this week the one I'm most interested in is the Crystal Dynamics game they're supposed to be revealing properly at the Game Awards.

Arguing that because something sells it's good is such a stupid thing to do on it's own, but it's particularly dumb when talking about the last twenty years of comic books.

Warner Bros is the one with the cosy relationship with the US Army. The MCU famously lost their relationship with the Pentagon for showing the army nuking New York during the Avengers.

This is not true, Marvel have continued to work with various branches of the US military while developing their films.

I can accept that in world of Norse Gods, talking Trees and sassy robots, the military and cops are not the giant pieces of poo poo they are in real life.

Too bad not a lot of people can make a distinction between fantasy cops and real one's

There aren’t a lot of sassy robots and talking trees that really exist and murder scores of people, so that’s probably why people are suspicious of the cops being portrayed as a net positive.

The movie’s not really propaganda for the USAF, but it’s definitey at least revisionist, it’s more ‘lie by omission’, like the Iron Man movies than the full-throated support.

Good action scenes though.

On the whole I think Marvel movies are a lot like those torn from the headlines Law and Order episodes where everyone stumbles around for a bit going, "I guess this is bad" and then someone else shrugs and goes, "I don't know, might be good" and then the episode just kind of ends without going anywhere.

Jiu-Jitsu doesn't really translate great into most movie action scenes, fanciful stuff like John Wick not included.

My problem with Age of Ultron (other than the fact that the 'age' lasts about a week) is that he never once seriously threatens the heroes. He gloats that he wanted all the heroes together vs all his drones and 60 seconds later he's getting his face melted off by less than half the team.

I remember being hyped when they released this promo art showing an endless tide of robots ready to swallow up the team


Instead the Ultron army looks like this.


This is the MCU's failings in a nutshell, really.

Winter Soldier definitely uses some of the imagery of political thrillers, but I don't think it can be called one in the same way that Ant-Man is a comedic heist movie and the like.

I think if you actually compared Ant-Man to a real deal heist film it wouldn't be all that similar either.

Most of the Marvel movies that people hail as branching out into other genres are just the regular Marvel movies with some aesthetic references around the edges.

Maybe in terms of actual screen time and others numbers, but what they ultimately worked towards in the long run was far more worthwhile in the end.

Not to mention what you ultimately do with that time can still say a lot.

I don’t know why you’re willing to die on a hill this baseless.

There’s nothing there, even if true, that would mean what they ‘ultimately worked toward’ (who cares when talking about Antman) would be different.

Age of Ultron is kind of fascinating to me, because by comparison, it's probably easier to sit through than something like Iron Man 2, even as loathsome as it is, but it's unquestionably a worse film.

With Iron Man 2 or Thor: The Dark World, or whatever else ones people generally don't like you can at least see what they were getting at, or what happened behind the scenes or whatever reason you want to accept as to why they didn't 'measure up', but Ultron is just spectacularly bad.

In almost every facet it's completely ill-made.

Maybe with the director change we'll actually see Godzilla in his own movie for more than 5 minutes, or maybe the director wouldn't kill off the most interesting human character in the film in order to then focus on the human equivalent of paste

Thanks for the memes as criticism, ‘Superman beats retarded Bizzaro to death’ guy.

I still haven't seen it but Godzilla 2014 is crazy polarizing. Everyone I've talked to has either hated it or loved it.

A lot of people’s interaction with the film was limited to seeing a YouTube thumbnail from CinemaSins.
