i saw avengers 2.

not so great, honestly. a bunch of nitpicks and the obsessive need to pack each action sequence with one liners bordered on concerning. also you could feel how loving clever the director thought he was being at times, to the point it was kind of unsettling.

I liked it better than Avengers 1 but also I didn't like Avengers 1

I liked how Whedon didn't try to figure out Scarlet Witch's powers at all.

Traditionally her powers are "Eh, I don't know, red stuff or whatever?" and Joss just rolled with it.

Stressing over well-defined powersets for your magic punchmen is a very irritating nerd tendency.

"No, you see, Ultra Man can't possibly hold his own against Strong Boy, Ultra Man has never lifted anything heavier than a Caterpillar D-7, while Strong Boy has been observed to lift things as heavy as a Caterpillar D-11. I'm boycotting this until the writer shows more respect for the source material."

When I saw Ultron three of the preview trailers were for comic book movies. All began with the same aerial 45-degree shot of a city skyline.

I got nothing against a zillion comic-book movies in principle, as it's a diverse industry/genre with a lot of room for experimentation, but I'm getting pretty tired of the aesthetic homogeneity.

That's what was cool about Guardians

mostly what I want out of the superhero movie boom is an adaptation of Damage Control.

I want to watch a harried middle-manager try to figure out how to deliver an invoice to Doctor Doom for a hundred and forty minutes.
