Emma Stone was on The Tonight Show telling a story about how during the filming of a scene where cars were blowing up, people were just walking by casually. They had to pay extras so that people in the background could be seen reacting to what was going on.

Whats the significance of Tony Stark getting the shrapnel taking out of his chest at the end of Iron Man 3? It doesn't mean he can't be Iron Man any more because Don Cheadle was flying a suit pretty well, which means he just had it left it in there because...? Why didn't he just fire up all the Iron Man suits to begin with when those helicopters showed up and blew up his house? Why did he give out his home address at all in the first place? That was a weird movie.

Ferigno knows as much about unannounced upcoming Marvel films as Stan Lee, which is no more then anybody that reads the internet knows. Marvel have been stung twice by Hulk and ain't doing another. Even film timeline wise there's no room for a Hulk film between Age of Ultron and Avengers 3.

It's a pretty obvious metaphor of unburdening and self-forgiveness, but in terms of plot I think it's meant to indicate that Tony is finally working on solving his own problems instead of trying to fix the world around him. And I would imagine you leave the arc reactor in your chest because the only other alternative is to walk around with a sucking three-inch chest wound.

His chest was "an excuse to be Iron Man" and Iron Man was what he was using to escape from dealing with his real life with Pepper. Now that it's healed he's complete and no longer needs excuses to run away from life. He's Iron Man and Tony Stark whether he has an arc reactor in his chest or not. (It's also because there was that brief period where Robert Downey Jr. was bowing out of Marvel films and this closes his narrative arc)

I understood it was presented that way, but its an empty gesture that sort of comes out of nowhere. If they'd done something to establish the significance of the shrapnel instead of say, his panic attacks, it might have worked. All in all it felt like an early draft of a script. Didn't he take the reactor out of himself too because he threw it in the ocean at the end? EDIT: bear in mind i saw the first two years ago, so maybe those movies develop it more.

I liked both Thor movies! With the notable aside "The love story in the first one is horribly tacked on and their relationship is not even slightly earned." Actually, out of the 8 films the only one I didn't really super enjoy was probably Iron Man 2. edit: the wikipedia page about the Hulk film seems pretty ambiguous on a future standalone movie: quote:In 2012's Marvel's The Avengers, Mark Ruffalo began his role as Banner/Hulk. In April 2012, despite Ruffalo being on board to play the Hulk in the sequel, Feige confirmed to Collider that Marvel had no plans at that time to film another Hulk [movie].[118] In a Q&A (question and answer) session, Feige and Ruffalo confirmed that discussions are underway to produce another Hulk film due to the positive audience response to Ruffalo's performance in The Avengers. also - quote:Kevin Feige said the film met Marvel's expectations theflyingorc fucked around with this message at 19:18 on May 2, 2014 |

Hey now the biggest plot hole is him using the janky armor when he had one battle tested against alien invaders and gods. Oh and there not being a single like lava exploration suit that could go toe to toe with Killian with out getting melted.

I think a Hulk sequel would do better now, after his appearance in Avengers. That last Hulk movie came in the wake of Iron Man, which was a surprise success, and The Incredible Hulk wasn't at that level. It was also a mess behind the scenes, so I'm surprised it turned out as well as it did.

I enjoyed Amazing Spider-Man 2 quite a bit. There were a handful of really bad parts and the pacing was all over the place. But the good parts were fantastic and Andrew Garfield is the absolute perfect Spidey.

hi liter posted:Doesn't he summon the armory at the end? Or did I forget a scene where he engineers the armory to do the same thing? Yeah but he sends the Mark 42 to Pepper first. He can only command the others with Jarvis too, whereas the 42 he implanted himself with some control for. Then he takes it over as the house is collapsing. The others spend most of the movie covered by his entire house. (Ironically including Igor which is designed to clear debris instead of combat.)

No see his super powerful heavily armed suits were stuck, under rubble, that they could have blown up. The whole 42 suit was a writing crutch, they have to get him out of the suit so the suit's battery dies, it has a battery because it's remote control suit and so isn't powered by the arc reactor in his chest, also it can't charge off the near limitless power the arch reactor produces and he use uses a car battery to do it because HEY LOOK OVER THERE!

He should have just had to fight the extremis army and last boss battle in his old beat-up suit with no help. That would've been cooler and raise way less questions.

That was actually what I thought the movie was going to be when I first heard Extremis was going to be central to it, I honestly figured the suits showing up in the preview had been taken over by Extremis-ed Mandarin and Tony would end up in the first suit fighting them because of some handwave about it and Roddy's suit being not advanced enough to be taken over by Extremis. Then it turns out it was fire breath. It would have been a more blatant take on Tony being his own worst enemy and fallen more in line with the comics cyclical Tony invents something-> bad guys use it for bad-> tony either falls back on old technology or creates new tech to combat it-> repeat.

I liked Amazing Spider-Man 2 a lot, there were quite a few stupid things, the pacing was weird as hell, and the ending of the movie is kind of... Strange? But Andrew Garfield was good, the humor was all around wonderful, the fight scenes were snappy and beautifully covered, the sense of scale on the swinging is great too, and I just really loved what they did with Max Dillon and Harry, they're wonderful. As someone who enjoyed the first movie quite a bit, I think this is overall a better movie.

It's not a post credits scene though. You just have to Shazam the promotional single they released and you get an animated titled card. It's not as if anybody has to see the film to do that.

Ha! That's hilarious! I liked ASM2, but my opinion is probably skewed because the action scenes were amazing in a real IMAX theater. I had the same issue with the first one, I really enjoyed it seeing it at the IMAX, then was kind of bored watching it at home. I could watch Spidey swing around all day on a giant screen. I'm definitely not arguing with a lot of the criticism. Stan's cameo was pretty lame compared to the first one's.

Oh yeah I laughed in the theater at web hand. I'm probably a bad person for that, but the second I saw it I just thought it was a bit much and kind of silly. Less is more would've probably been a good policy for the movie, because Jesus.
