I just watched Age of Ultron for the first time in preparation of Civil War. It wasn't offensively bad, but it didn't really hold my attention either. I liked Winter Soldier, and I am looking forward to Civil War, but Infinity War doesn't seem especially exciting at the moment.

I wouldn't be too concerned. Current opinion on Civil War is that it's a better Avengers movie than AoU or Avengers, and directed by the same guys who did Winter Soldier and are doing both Infinity War films.

Pretty cool, really. They know where they could use the help and ain't averse to asking for it.

Tony's response was completely human, which I think was a major plot point in the film, which is to say that it reinforces the fact that even though the Avengers are these super-heroes who come in and save the day, at their core they're all still susceptible to the same human flaws of the average person.

IMO, that's where Civil War succeeded where BvS didn't; the film humanized the heroes.

The best thing about the series is Matt Ryan. He's probably the best casting choice for a comic character since RDJ-Stark.

If you watch Arrow make sure to watch S4E04, where he guest stars.

There was already zero chance we weren't going to see a significant amount more of Leto Joker. At the minimum in the Batfleck movie but likely even if they did a Harley Quinn spin-off as well. They didn't cast Leto as Joker and haven't been putting him front and center for a supporting role in Suicide Squad, if they are doing a shared film universe Joker is going to be their Loki but even more prominent.

This better not lead to live action Injustice because IMO Injustice loving sucked.

I'm assuming you guys are joking but Routh is already a major DC TV character

That didn't stop the showrunners from getting John Wesley-Shipp to be both Henry Allen and Jay Garrick.

And with Routh they have a chance to make some sort of meta-joke about the whole thing.

‘The Flash’: ‘Dope’ Actress Kiersey Clemons to Star as Iris West in Movie


Kind of weird the way the note is redacted though. ("likely to play"?) But is Variety so who knows.

Oh boy *grabs popcorn*

Real talk: Clemons was legit in Dope and she's more than likely gonna knock out the Iris role if it's hers.

Other movie talk: Karl Urban posted this. Glad they're keeping close to the source for Skurge.

I will point out for the sake of argument that a historical event being very horrific need not literally mean that everything looked grey and overcast. The Great Escape takes place in a POW camp and it's colorful as poo poo.

That's probably more because it's supposed to be this daring tale of escape from an oppressive faction and is painted in a hopeful/vibrant light.


... Yeah I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, just the first thing that came to mind with the words "GREAT ESCAPE"
