When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I just watched Age of Ultron again since my friend hadn't seen it yet, it's on Netflix, and I hate myself. Holy hell it was worse than I remembered, almost every scene looks fake as poo poo, the CGI and backgrounds are going to age horribly, and the cinematography looks like rear end throughout half the movie.

Beyond the bad writing which gets harped on a lot it's the "action" scenes which are the most insultingly awful; the fight direction and camera work don't give any appearance of actual action with a flow of cause and effect, it's just endless meaningless character poses. Age of Ultron is the movie equivalent of a manchild posing his action figures against each other while making fight noises.

This was always an awful analogy though. If anything Malcolm's black separatist notions were much less radical and dangerous than King's outright Christian socialism. That Reverend King was becoming more radical when he was killed, and Malcolm was in the middle of a total reworking of his whole perspective, is depressingly unlikely to be a coincidence

Absolutely, it's always been reflective of the popular mythology of MLK and Malcolm X, not the reality.

Gotta agree with Al Madrigal. Though it's really not filling me with hope that it appears they're using the same level of horrible arguments for registration from the comic.

I wonder if she realized when she signed on for Iron Man that her character would largely be relegated to viral marketing attempts.

The party scene was mostly really awkward and bad, except for the follow-up of Don Cheadle's story to the group of women. Ultron's "I have no strings..." would have worked better if they hadn't decided to drive it home by playing a clip of the old song at the end.

Good point about Hawkeye, he's the only functionally adult, or even believably human, major character in the movie. I still want to know where he keeps getting his arrows from though, given that in every scene through the entire climactic sequence his quiver is stuffed full, from beginning straight through to the end where the extreme toll of the battle is shown by his arms being dirty with a couple scuff marks. Is there a little Iron Man supply robot flying around stocking him up?

My favorite part of Age of Ultron is the one where Whedon perfectly sums up his brand of feminism with Thor and Stark talking about how their girlfriends are still around and they're doing tons of good for the world, somewhere, offscreen, don't worry about it

What makes it even better is that the discussion is entirely focused on themselves one-upping each other in their stories about their respective girlfriends, using the women as trophies to elevate their own personal status, and closes with Thor quipping "But Jane's better" after the woman they were performing for exited the conversation.

Yes, and then and Wheeee said, Thor got in the last word anyway. But I forgot, when you acknowledge your bad behavior without changing it, that makes it okay. It's ironic macho appropriation of feminism.

I'm at a loss too. Should Thor and Stark have seen their wrongdoing and apologized after they were called out on it?

It was pretty explicitly shown that they were self-congratulatory dicks. Not a very amusing joke, I grant you that, but a joke nonetheless.

In Stark Tower beforehand he's explicitly shown grabbing several collapsible bundles of arrows.

He's quiver is a micro-fabrication factory that 3D prints the unique heads for each arrow based on Hawkeye's hand gestures. It's a shrunk down version of the Stark tech that builds Tony's numerous suits.

It hold hundreds of collapsible arrows but only rotates completed ones to the top for use.
