[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;49189237]Can someone just give me a quick rundown of what I missed in Age of Ultron so I can get the gist of what's gonna go down in Civil War?[/QUOTE] Vision, Scarlet Witch and Falcon are now an Avengers. Literally all that was important that happened. [editline]25th November 2015[/editline] Dammit Cyanlime
Okay and lemme guess Corporal Guatemala and Fe Guy don't see eye-to-eye on how Smelltron was handled so they bitch each other out and it's gonna go down like a house fire.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;49189271]Okay and lemme guess Corporal Guatemala and Fe Guy don't see eye-to-eye on how Smelltron was handled so they bitch each other out and it's gonna go down like a house fire.[/QUOTE] The way I see it is Cap is driven by the events of Winter Soldier (causing him to distrust authority), whereas Tony wants to atone for the destruction caused in Age of Ultron, thinking the solution is stronger regulations on superheroes.
It's weird that I'm watching AoS. I just don't really like the show. There are some character combos I enjoy seeing, and it's shot compentently, but it's not worth spending 50 minutes every week (even though I still wouldn't be able to put this time to good use, if i wasn't watching the show). It comes down to the fact that I don't want to "miss out", I do want to fully understand what's going on, and I want to "discover" this info by myself, not by quickly googling something I don't know about the universe. I want to see the full picture, I almost feel "obliged" to watch it. Does anyone else feel the same way? I know, first world problems and all, but why not discuss it?
I've been watching some of AoS on Netflix, and I'm ambivalent towards the show. On the one hand it's entertaining and interesting how it expands and ties in with the rest of the cinematic universe. On the other hand, it still suffers from TV series syndrome with cheesiness and budgeted effects and costume designs. On top of that it bugs me from time to time how 'young and pretty' everyone is and look like college students. Skye and Melinda May I find hard to digest coming off as campy at times. Fitz, Simmons, and Coulson are a lot of fun to watch though.
episode 9 of jessica jones is dope
Goddamn, Ming-Na Wen is 52 years old. Clark Gregg is 53. The senior citizens kick more ass than the rest of SHIELD. By the way - is Coulson still "dead" in the movies? I can't remember if he's mentioned.

Why can't they simply reference AoS or Netflix shows in one or two lines will be forever a mystery

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;49191685]Joss Whedon is not the master of the universe[/QUOTE] he certainly seems to think he is :v:
officer simpson is the best character in the show
[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;49191768]officer simpson is the best character in the show[/QUOTE] That's not how you spell [del][sp]Kevin Thompson[/sp][/del]Kilgrave
[QUOTE=Pops;49191672] on top of that, coulson will never return in the movies because for the avengers he needs to stay dead.[/QUOTE] Pretty sure his need to be dead for the Avengers to unite has long past exhausted itself, especially with half the Avengers team being new people that never knew him.
[QUOTE=Zillamaster55;49189237]Can someone just give me a quick rundown of what I missed in Age of Ultron so I can get the gist of what's gonna go down in Civil War?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Cyanlime;49189258]Avengers fight big robot army, stuff gets smashed. War Machine, Falcon, Scarlet Witch and Vision join the Avengers. Probably all that you'll need to know for civil war tbh.[/QUOTE] A few more points that he missed: Some of the older members of the Avengers bail at the end of the movie; Only Captain America and Black Widow remain out of the old Avengers; Hawkeye, Iron Man, and Thor leave to handle their own affairs, and Hulk traps himself in a Jet because he feels guilty for Hulking out earlier in the movie. If you watched the Hulkbuster scene in the trailer, you probably know Iron Man fights Hulk, which makes the public concerned about heroes (probably leading into Civil War). Also, towards the end, Ultron tries to lift Sokovia into the air to make it plummet back into Earth to cause a mass extinction; this will almost certainly be referenced in Civil War, as the trailer showed documents about "Sokovia Accords."
Jessica Jones is pretty awesome. I can't wait for Daredevil season 2.
How much is punisher going to be in DD season 2? main focus or just appearing for a couple episodes?
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;49192624]How much is punisher going to be in DD season 2? main focus or just appearing for a couple episodes?[/QUOTE] Seems like a main focus from what we've heard, but we will see.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;49192624]How much is punisher going to be in DD season 2? main focus or just appearing for a couple episodes?[/QUOTE] Aren't him and Elektra going to be the 'antagonists' of Season 2?
Jesus H. Christ! I though Jessica Jones was going pretty good but episode 7 blew everything out of the water. Daredevil has some steep competition, I tell you what.
For anyone with fears of Avengers 2.5 as opposed to CA3 for CW this interview will probably lessen those fears [url]http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/captain-america-civil-war-trailer-breakdown/[/url]
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;49191841]Pretty sure his need to be dead for the Avengers to unite has long past exhausted itself, especially with half the Avengers team being new people that never knew him.[/QUOTE] that's true however, at this point he's already off doing so much shit on his own that bringing him back into the movies wouldn't serve any real purpose other than fan-service and the avengers would mostly look at him like "the fuck you doing here, gramps?"
[QUOTE=Pops;49191672]i believe the official answer is no but if you ask joss whedon, yes. on top of that, coulson will never return in the movies because for the avengers he needs to stay dead.[/QUOTE] lol i completely forgot about him just let him stay dead, bringing him back for AoS was silly
I know no one will agree, but I'd love an Australian Spiderman. I mean we already have heaps of spiders, so it would make sense.

i want to see a marvel one-shot of kilgrave where he's like, stuck in the desert or something, and the only person he can order around is comically incompetent at everything he's told to do
I'm still holding hope for [B](MAJOR Jessica Jones FINALE SPOILERS)[/B] [sp]Killgrave just said to Jessica something like "You are going to pretend to snap my neck, then walk away and believe you killed me. You'll believe I am gone and you are free", then he hopped on the boat.[/sp]

On top of that, they obviously recovered his body because Jessica was arrested for killing him.[/sp]
