Marvel vs Capcom 3. Or maybe the old arcade Avengers game. But only show him playing Cap.

Since Cap 2 takes place over like 2 days, I am incredibly surprised there isn't a scene added (like the shwarma scene) to the blu ray where Hawkeye is just grilling burgers on the roof of his building, just chillin'.

"Hmm, haven't heard from 'tasha or Cap lately, ah well *drinks beer*"

Him with the Hawkguy apron standing next to Grills feeding Pizzadog.

I would love an extended five minute sequence of Hawkeye on his roof, one long shot of him grilling burgers and rocking out to his earbuds while his phone rings constantly and in the background you can clearly see three Helicarriers blowing each other out of the sky.

"Hundreds of thousands" to create a stinger that people would be talking about at work the next week is like the cheapest marketing imaginable for this type of thing.

I'd say, rather, that it either never occurred to anybody to use Hawkeye this way, or they don't want to do anything to strongly characterize him in one way or the other while they're still working on future scripts that he's going to be in - make it too silly, and you're going to make it hard to take him seriously in Age of Ultron.

Ironman 2 and Thor are both pretty weak movies overall, but they do have a lot of great scenes that makes them worth a watch.

I have enjoyed nearly all the superhero movies I have seen since X-men started this weird superhero movie renaissance, the exceptions being Spider-man 3, X-men 3, and the Fantastic 4 movies.

Wait, I also didn't like Superman Returns or Green Lantern, because I am a thinking man.

Thor 2's alright. It drags here and there but that final weird portal action sequence makes up for it, and I still think it's worth watching. It's not a high point in the MCU, but I liked it.

Iron Man 2 just doesn't make any drat sense, period, and takes its sweet time about it. "My blood is poison, I'll make a new element." Half an hour of screentime devoted to that poo poo. gently caress you, Iron Man 2.

CapnAndy: Feb 27, 2004; Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Which is why Ant-man being bad is an actual threat to Marvel - it hurts their brand of "not making awful superhero movies", which could lower the take on later films.

I think that's a super important point; a lot of reviews for Guardians of the Galaxy compared 2014 Marvel to 2008 Pixar -- having built up such good will by simply not making any bad movies that audiences are willing to follow them into premises that would otherwise keep them away, be it "five people you've never heard of in space fight bad guys you've also never heard of" or "a robot falls in love, also it's basically a silent movie for 40 minutes".

It's a good analogy, but it carries an unspoken, nasty flip side. Pixar then made Cars 2 and Monsters University; how good does "a talking dinosaur family with a human for a pet" sound now? Personally I'm not that hyped for anything Pixar has in the works except Incredibles 2, because I no longer have faith that anything they make will be all that good, so I'd prefer to just stay with things I already care about. That's not where Marvel wants to be in six years.

Iron Man 2 is bad, but it has Sam Rockwell being awesome so that makes for at least 10-15 minutes of good material.

Thor 2 loses anything that made Thor 1 remotely appealing (which was not much to begin with) in favor of bad space opera. Really stinky.

I will happily concede that Iron Man 2 is a really fun movie anytime Sam Rockwell is on the screen, but you have to admit that Tom Hiddleston's Loki is fun even in a curmudgeonly space opera. :colbert:

I will admit that Hiddleston gives it his best shot, but the movie is so confused about what it wants to do with the character that it just ruins it. Like, they clearly wanna play him as the sympathetic, funny sidekick, but then they keep pausing to remind us that he did 9/11 in scenes that are otherwise treated as humorous. It's just a mess.

To be fair, a lot of this comes f rom them screwing Loki's motivation in Avengers completely up.

Yeah, the Marvel Studios movies as a whole seem to really be at a loss for what to do with the character. He was one of the highlights of Thor 1, then they just made him a growly generic villain in Avengers, then in Thor 2 they tried to split the difference.

Probably because it hardly counts as a MCU movie. All the others establish something about the character, but the Hulk is basically a new character in Avengers,

I'd argue it's the worst because it's the one Marvel Studios basically pretends didn't happen.

Lurdiak: Feb 26, 2006; I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

I thought Thor 2 was a fine movie and overall a step up from the first one, and Iron Man 2 is definitely the worst Marvel Studios film because all its subplots go nowhere.

I like it too. I almost agree but I love The Avengers and Iron Man 3 way too much. But it's pretty cool. Tim Roth is probably one of the MCU's better baddies.

It wasn't sexin'= Hulk, it was pulse goes up=Hulk and is the one element that actually makes a return n the Avengers.

Well, that's what happen with your body when you get angry. And it's always been the physical reaction, I mean Banner doesn't Hulk out over the state of America' public education system. It's also what most of the movie is about, with all the mediation technique he tries and it's also what finally allows him to control the transformation.

Iron Man 2 really is the worst for a lot of reasons. Hardly any (good) action, a good 20-30 minutes is basically an advertisement for the Avengers, the 'sins of the father' subplot turns out to be completely whitewashed as the Stark family is just flawlessly sinless. They also more or less completely ignore any kind of growth Stark had in the first movie.

Also the various branches of the US military/HammerCorp get the tech to build iron man drones and no mention of this is ever made again.
