Thought this was pretty funny, decided to share. (Note: an Agents of Shield spoiler for episode: Turn, Turn, Turn.)

i saw iron man 3 high as fuck opening night and thought it was pretty fucking funny. should give it a rewatch to see if its still funny 
Yes yes, I get the joke about the next Avengers movie, but does anyone think Jarvis will be nerfed? I would like to think so, but I doubt it. The level of AI being advanced is not my issue, nor is it the danger of a rogue AI that bothers me. It is the insane level of AI that has been achieved and everyone seems to accept it as normal.
I know it is a weird thing to be concerned about, but it takes me out of the movie a bit when there is no need for people to actually do anything except tell an AI to do something.

I'm so happy for all the success this movie is having.
Keep it up Marvel.

I don't get this complaint. Other than the threat that the president was going to die, Iron Man 3 didn't end in a gigantic doomsday scenario. It was a bunch of Iron Man armors vs. a bunch of Extremis goons. Hardly cataclysmic.
Worth it for the "I'm cold...." 'I know, we're connected, remember' exchange and then Stark driving off.
I hope Cap 3 goes the same route - throw 'the world at stake' out of the window and go deeply personal. I would like to see the same with Avengers 3, but I guess that won't be happening..

They subverted the kid character enough that I loved it. Didn't think IM3 was as good as IM1, but certainly a big leap over IM2.

Yeah, it was pretty terrible. That and the fact that super powered Pepper saved the day and the whole uneventful scene where the arc reactor is pulled out of Iron man with no fanfare or buildup was kinda terrible.
Thor 2 was at least as mediocre as Thor 1. Hell, I don't even remember who the main villian was in thor 2.
Winter Soldier kinda shames them all.

IM3 is actually my favorite of the Iron Man movies, as heretical as it sounds. Thought it was really fun throughout, although I thought some of Killian towards the end was kinda stupid.

Iron Man 3 is, IMO, the best of the Phase 2 movies so far. I loved the kid character and the dynamic, and I actually thought his acting was pretty good. I loved the Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang feeling the movie gave off, and the twist was hilarious.
Cap 2 comes in second, as another very great movie. I thought the political thriller vibe was perfect for a Captain America movie, and Evans played the role even better than before.
Thor 2 is in third, but it certainly isn't without its charms. The action was great, the Thor/Loki dynamic was great as always, and the comedic moments were much improved from the first. I know most people here don't like Kat, but I think she is absolutely hilarious in the Thor movies.

The Dark World gets too much hate IMO, I think it's a good, action-packed movie stifled by an underdeveloped villain, which is something many of the MCU movies suffer from.
Iron Man 3 is pretty much exactly the same to me, I like the movie a lot and the direction they went works really well, except for the fact that Killian is a stupid lame villain, so the movie kinda shoots itself in the foot once the Mandarin twist is out of the way. The armor battle at the end is also not that exciting.

One thing about the Thor movies is that the action always underwhelmed me. I guess I'm just not a huge fan of weapon based, LOTR Fantasy style combat in my superhero movies. I prefer Iron Man repulsors and Cap America Agility/Strategy/Hand to Hand
and Spider-man Acrobatics the most ((

Add huge tonal imbalance to that and you've got my problems with it.

Yeah, the first movie had some of this too.
Ideally, Thor 3 would have minimal or no Earth scenes. Shit drags down the epic too much.
I had far more fun during dark world than im3. I can shoot holes in both all day long but IM3 is just tony stark doing his thing. Nothing felt important at all.

Oh I definitely prefer Iron Man/Cap action, but I still quite enjoyed it. I can get behind weapon based combat every once in a while.
I enjoyed the earth scenes MUCH more than elf world scenes.
Well it was London and not Bumbtown this time. I really liked Svartalfheim though. I'm a sicker for desolate worlds.

Well it's not so much that I hated every moment where they were on Earth, but I'd hope we'd at least get one Thor movie that focused more on mystical/cosmic stuff than always coming back to Earth. Or just solely focusing on Asgard for once - they did a good job fleshing out the Nine Realms in TDW but I don't think every movie needs to be a realm-hopping adventure.

I have to say, the battle scenes in Vanaheim were pretty underwhelming to me. I was expecting some visceral LOTR style melee combat, but the action seem so small scale and not really epic. Cap 2 really puts it to shame there. I did like the Star Wars style spaceship flying stuff though.

I really liked Iron Man 3, but I hated how disconnected it felt from the overall MCU, even the after credits scene.

The way they ended the movie to this day makes me feel like Stark is outright retired and doesn't want anything to do with "superheroing" anymore. Like, it doesn't make sense to me that he will be involved in Avengers 2 after that ending, much less with a Hulkbuster suit ready to go.
After watching it and then the after credits scene that's how I felt too. Very much like it was on it's own little island.

I felt this way initially, but knowing now that Ultron is the villain of Avengers 2, it definitely makes a lot of sense and I think we'll see the connections in retrospect. Clearly Tony automating his suits has major repercussions.
Wasn't his last words. "I am Iron Man"?
Regardless Hydra coming back in a big way and being responsible for the death of his parents should add motivation.

I dunno, he may be "retired" but it would make sense to me that with SHIELD gone, he might assume the leadership position simply because he can get into contact with everyone else.
As for the Hulkbuster suit... it might not be ready to go. I mean, sure the South Africa portion was filmed first, but it doesn't necessarily mean it happens at the beginning of the movie. For all we know, that could be part of the endgame battle, a post credits scene, part of a montage... who knows.
*pleasehaveultronbezolapleasehaveultronbezola*
Doesn't having Ultron be a person undercut a lot of what makes Ultron be Ultron?
Ultron is Ultron, but given Zola's now a piece of code, having him be an unholy JARVIS/ZOLA mashup would be a lot of fun.
Alcoremortis
Member
Yeah... I don't think Ultron will be Zola. Because if we want a robot with Zola in it... why not just have robot Zola to begin with, you know? It's a waste of a perfectly good villain to mix the two together.

I think they kinda planned Tony "retiring" so in Avengers 2, when he suits up, it'll be that much more dramatic.

Zola/Ultron doesn't make much sense to make them the same character, but I wouldn't be surprised if Zola showed up in Avengers 2 at some point with Strucker, or maybe Strucker helps get his robot body up and running by the end of the movie, to set him up to be in Cap 3 in some capacity.

This is a legit action movie. Awesome choreography, Cap using his shield like a boss, etc.
I wish there was more Peggy and Bucky though.

i can see the Ultron body being intended for Zola but the AI figuring it could do a better job with that body than Zola.

I don't think Zola's AI will be it. I think (and I'm spoiler tagging because there's precedence for this)
Ultron will be Tony's creation that goes wrong. It'll be another suit that's designed with an autonomous AI that ends up coming to the conclusion that Humanity is it's own greatest threat. Which is the Ultron origin used in Next Avengers. This would be the next logical step from the suits we see in IM3 and would go along with Tony's "retirement" in the sense that he creates it so that he could still protect Earth without having to actually suit up.
It's pretty much THE scene (elevator fight/jump included) that says "This is the man that you're dealing with. Good luck with that." The actual shot where he lands is something I was expecting to happen in the first movie. It felt great here.
After seeing how he used the bike to throw himself on top of the Quinjet, I figured he'd just sacrifice the bike the same way to get over the spikes. Either way, they weren't stopping him.
I liked Thor 2. I thought Thor was very "kiddy," but I liked the action in the second one. The end where they were warping in and out of different worlds while fighting was really different and exciting to me. The villain was the main Dark Elf guy.
