Mordiceius posted:Why is SMG insisting on referring to Thanos as Thano? Is it just to be extra obnoxious? Yes. It seems to be working gangbusters. Macdeo Lurjtux posted:That’s what I thought he said the first time I saw the movie but he clearly said ‘his eye’ when I saw it the second time. I just got out of it 15 minutes ago (nothing to do today and weekday matinees are a discount) and he very clearly says "killed my father and stabbed me in the eye" (I was listening for it!) ricdesi posted:Steve Rogers is a blond. So yeah, he did dye his hair (in-universe, anyway). As did Black Widow. So he dyed it from blonde to...dirty blonde? Why not black which is easier to find on the run and would help him blend in to a lot more population centers. Again, if you want to come up with a clever in universe explanation why the various actors didn't want to wear wigs or shave their beards or whatever that's fine, but that's all it's really gonna be.

A.I. Borgland Corp posted:The events of Avengers 1 are that Loki tried to steal the tesseract in exchange for being given dominion over Earth. If successful this would have netted Thanks a stone. This being Thanks goal works for multiple motivations. That ignores narrative - i.e. why Thanos wants the teleportation cube. The filmmakers could have easily have made it a twist: a reveal that Thanos wants to defeat all the free planets of the universe in order to ‘win the game’ and rewrite the very fabric of reality and create a paradise. The heroes could then be tempted with this proposition. Instead, the execs went with a retcon. We ignore all the past films and Thanos now never tried to rule the universe.

Supercar Gautier posted:This is a series where Iron Man 3 ends with Tony destroying his legion of AI robots as a sign that he has grown past his paranoid obsession with global defense, and then in his next film he has built a new legion of AI robots and become more paranoid and obsessed with global defense than ever. Actually, if you had paid any attention you would realize that's not true. Tony destroyed his suits at the end of Iron Man 3 because his girlfriend got tired of the fact that each suit was basically a way for Tony to put himself in harm's way in new and creative ways and settings (underwater, in space, etc.). He got around this by fully automating both the manufacturing and the operation of the suits, and in doing so paved the way to Ultron's creation.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:The first two Marvel films set up a narrative where Stark would help the US Army try to capture Hulk. The Leader was also going to show up. This narrative was abandoned, though elements were recycled in Avengers 2 (Iron Man randomly battling Hulk) and Civil War (Ross’ superhero prison). I completely forgot about these parts goddamn. Mordiceius posted:Why is SMG insisting on referring to Thanos as Thano? Is it just to be extra obnoxious? Thani is also an acceptable plural term

There main reason the hulk narrative was abandoned was because his movie wasn't that memorable or a big hit and there's rights issues with more standalone movies and Edward Norton is a dick, so they just moved on

ScarJo being blonde made me think "wait, are they introducing that blonde avenger woman who fought with batons" I think she was Hawkeye's sister or girlfriend?

 Saw the movie Sunday. Loved it! Great action, fun character, and it did some good things with Thanos. See, I expected him to be like his comic counterpart: the creepy, desperate guy who just wants to gently caress Death, the cosmic equivalent of an Incel, A Thanos-Going-His-Own-Way. But, instead, they actually made him have quite a bit more depth with his personality and beliefs and actually have more emotions than "smug superiority" and "angry." Only thing bugging me is how much this movie poo poo on Thor Ragnorak. "Yep, we got all the Asgardians away." Thanos just killed half of them. "Well, I am finally getting along with my brother." Thanos kills him. "Well, I am no longer a 'God of Hammers.' I now know the power was within me all-along." Has to get a hammer to kill Thanos. "Well, at least I still have a cool eyepatch that makes me look like my dad." Gets a replacement eye. Talk about invalidating everything a movie accomplished.

Dudes. He destroyed his suits as a symbol of his moving past his PTSD of what he experienced in New York since all those suits were created out of his inability to rest or handle his nightmares and getting a new heart was part of that. He is Iron Man, not the suits. It was also yes a gesture to Pepper. Whedon sucks ducking goat sacs for his Avengers movies. Gatts fucked around with this message at 00:40 on May 3, 2018 |

He regresses on screen and you see it happen in real time when Scarlet Witch fucks with his head and makes him see everyone dead.

Yeah that'd probably make you do some irrational things

The Iron Legion were already built and active prior to the start of the film, unless you believe Scarlet Witch's mind-fuckery was retroactive and made Tony do things in the past.

I don't think Whedon really got Tony's character post IM3, but the Iron Legion is portrayed as a crowd control group meant to aid the Avengers, so it's not really the same as Tony's small army of armors. But things like relapses after trauma are a thing and the Russos handled it just fine starting with Civil War sooooo

The Iron Legion were designed to keep civilians out of harms way, I am not sure they were even weaponized. It was the vision that made Tony try to create Ultron, which was the suit of armor around the world, not the Iron Legion which were just robo-crossing guards.

Jeb! Repetition posted:This reminds me, they lampshaded it but I thought it was bad character design that THor and Captain American both had short hair and short beards. Maybe it would make more sense if I'd seen all of either of their movies, but just based on this it seemed like Thor was supposed to look more haunted and also more like Odin so shouldn't he have a big beard? And isn't Cap a soldier from the 1940s and should be clean-shaven? I'm not sure of the exact timing, but about 12 hours ago in the storyline, Thor was given a haircut by Stan Lee. But then, if you really haven't seen the last 3 movies to explain these things, then I just nibbled your bait.

Iron Man 2 was infamously changed to make Stark and his corporation ‘more likeable’. Infinity War is obviously incomprehensible to anyone jumping in for the first time, but it also makes no sense to anyone who’s been paying attention. It seems to have been deliberately targeted towards people who are passingly familiar with the loose concept of superheroes, and who have maybe seen three or four films.
