Damon was the one that went on about his bathroom regiment. Which apparently was actually something one of writers said to Ryan at some point and Ryan said they had to work it into the film.

I was never excited about The Vulture in the MCU until we finally got him. I've been excited for Mysterio in the MCU since...Spider-Man 2. His gimmick being everything Hollywood is going to make for some crazy dumb poo poo.

You guys keep saying it's gonna be cool cause he has special effects powers but what does that actually mean? Does anyone have an example of how that would be cool? Cause at first blush it just seems like it will be Spidey confronting a Halloween Horror Nights at Knott's Berry Farm, which is like... who cares. Honestly, Mysterio's schtick has never really worked for me. In a world where actual demons and wizards use actual magic, why should we care about Criss Angel, Mindfreak?

Well, in practical terms, Mysterio usually works out like a more mind-trippy, less fear-based version of Scarecrow. Or like that movie where stage magicians robbed banks, except with Spiderman and actual good directing. It's all about the visual mind-fuckery on the audience.

Because when you fight an actual demon or wizard and they grow to be 60 feet tall, they are actually that big. With Mysterio, you don't know if that 60 foot fish bubble dude is a giant robot or a hologram. Or why he is even growing so big in the first place? Is he trying to flatten Spidey? Or is it a distraction while he does something else. Its basically Now You See Me meets the Prestige meets The Illusionist meets FX: Murder by Illusion. And superheroes.

I imagine he'll be something closer to the Ultimate Mysterio (though that was actually just the 616 Mysterio trying a do-over in another universe) looks wise and such.

So if you now have Vulture, Mysterio, and Mac Gargan (as Scorpion but so far he has no suit), that’s half of the Sinister Six. I guess they could do Goblin again at some point, or just make him Hobgoblin.

I'm rewatching some MCU movies I only ever saw once, and I'm about halfway through AoU and man it has not aged well, especially given how good IW was. There are some good scenes, the Hulkbuster fight is cool and the hammer lifting scene is a top 10 all-time MCU scene, but they make some baffling choices. The most glaring is the characterization of Ultron. I get what they were going for, the father-son stuff, but making him a quippy bad guy is just really uninspired. Also given thatt they nailed the quasi father/son dynamic with Tony and Peter, the Ultron daddy stuff looks even clumsier in retrospect. There's so many interesting takes on strong AI in scifi and almost any of them would be better than what they went with. He's not intimidating at all. When you compare him to Thanos, another huge CGI villain with significant departures from his comic background, Ultron looks even worse. Couple other things I don't like: Wanda loving with the Avengers minds. We did this with Loki in the first one, and I dunno where the mandate of "people want to see the Avengers fight amongst each other based on misunderstandings" came from but you don't need to do it two movies in a row. Bruce/Natasha stuff. I don't buy the "the movies thinks women are only for breeding and that's why Natasha calls herself a monster" read, but just as a matter of narrative, it comes out of nowhere. It'd be one thing if they had used a connection between them to establish a budding relationship by the end of the movie, but to just throw it out there in the beginning of the movie with no prelude, very DCU. Hawkeye's family/the house interlude: another out of nowhere thing, and another time to have Avengers fight among themselves, while nothing else happens. There's no reason to make Hawkeye a family man, it doesn't add to the character or the movie, and the plot just comes to a standstill while the Avengers soul search. I'll probably wrap the movie up tonight, so I'll have some more stuff to bitch about later. Spider-man:Homecoming holds up as hell though

Truly I cannot believe that Joss Whedon made the bad guy quippy. This is just unheard of. (Not that it's not a fair complaint, but it shouldn't come as a surprise.)

Superheroes fighting over a misunderstanding is like stock comic book plot #3, it’s absolutely something a lot of comic fans want to see. General moviegoers maybe less so - see people who really didn’t like civil war because they just want the good guys to be friends.

At least in Civil War, the characters had actual established motivations for fighting instead of just having Loki bad touch them with the mind gem. It’s why the Thor/Iron Man fight in Avengers worked best, IMO- they were at ends as to what to do about Loki and had just met, so they had no reason to trust each other. It wasn’t just the plot saying “you fight now!” AoU had a lot of great scenes but was less than the sum of its parts.

The Bruce/Natasha stuff doesn't work for me because they just did Winter Soldier and the chemistry between Evans and ScarJo was 10x better. Knowing that Civil War and Infinity War were both better than AoU is good. I would rather the films get better. I think John Cena would've been better.
