hwc: Clint's Budapest quote from Avengers (Avengers)

Spoilers for Avengers: Age of Ultron

[personal profile] hwc 2015-05-03 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not my favourite MCU movie (I'd place it after WS, Avengers and probably Guardians of the Galaxy), but I liked it. The beginning was sketchy and kinda boring (those terrible CGI/special effects in the beginning still make me lol. What the hell even was that), but I think it found it's groove somewhere around the middle. I think Ultron's first appearance was the point where it got a lot better.

I do share Herpy's complaint about the movie feeling disjointed and jumping around too much. I think it got better after Ultron appeared, but the beginning felt like such a mess. And why are they suddenly fighting together, anyway? Was that explained? After the solo movies I would have appreciated a get-back-together scene. Or some kind of explanation why they're all back together now.

As a Clint/Coulson (or Clint/anyone shipper) I found his surprise!family oddly charming. It came out of nowhere, but was pretty sweet and I think it made Clint's interactions with Wanda and Pietro even better. Especially the Aunt Natasha bit and talking with Natasha about DIY projects during the fight. This one actually worked for me. Though I don't get why people think that Clint left the Avengers permanently to stay with his family? I figured he just needs some time with them after the battle, plus they just had another kid. But I've seen people say online that he's now left the Avengers? Did I miss something?

Bruce/Natasha I like in theory, in the movie I only liked the scenes with her and the Hulk and when she pushed Bruce into hulking out. The other scenes felt somewhat forced, but that could have been the German dub. I could see it working, but it didn't in the movie, at least not for me.

Someone said Ultron wasn't scary as a villain, and I agree. I was distracted by his moving mouth during every close-up. I get that he wants to be more human, but damn. At least make the movement look more mechanical? They should have left his design as he was during his first appearance. THAT was freaky.

Also, the running joke with the hammer was great. I found the initial scene sort of unnecessary (but figured that maybe Natasha would wield it later as she was the only one who hadn't tried?), but it really paid off when Vision hands it back to Thor. And Tony and Steve nagging Thor about it at the end. Everyone in our group loved that joke.

The hummer joke was great.
Reminded me about the Tony!wump fic where no one believed that he could lift the hummer.

I don't get it either. I mean, Banner has disappeared, Thor presumably went back to Asgard, and Hawkeye had a new baby on the way- I'm sure he wanted to be there when his child was born after all. Tony went to be with Pepper and run his company.

That left Cap and Nat. And all the 'new' Avengers, aka, second stringers. So it's not like there was an Avengers team as we originally knew it at the end anyway.
