Freeman is probably playing a politician involved with the superhero act thing.
Freeman would be a perfect Everett K. Ross, and Devin Faraci is hearing Freeman might be in Black Panther as well, so Ross is my guess.
I don't think the movie was anywhere as good as the first Avengers let alone Cap 2, but it was still entertaining. You can tell a lot of shit was cut from the original drafts and Whedon's writing gets offensively bad whenever Black Widow is involved.
[sp]Her romance thing with Banner was the worst. It was all really stupid but the part that decisively buried Widow for me was when she starts bawling her eyes out about the whole infertility business. She's literally complaining about being sterile to a dude who has to remain in perfect control of himself at every single moment of his life and who can never have a second to rest because he'd turn and kill everyone.[/sp]
[sp]I wasn't expecting Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver to be as fleshed out as the other characters considering they all got several movies to be introduced and had quite a lot going on already but here they felt absurdly bland.[/sp]
I didnt really like cap 2 as much as aou or other muc movies. The plot just seemed really cheesy, and had plenty of plotholes, example: deep underground in super secret facility, faclility blows up while cap hides under a grate, next shot cap is crawling out of the rubble on the surface nearly effortlessly with widow. The whole time I was thinking "well I guess the largest and most powerful orginization in the world actually being controlled by super nazis and launching airships the size of small towns to kill over half the people on earth isnt a good enough excuse for tony stark or any other avengers to notice and come help, because a very tough spandex-wearing guy with a shield, a dude with robot wings, russian laura croft, and a washed up half-dead cyclops can just handle the whole thing."
I remember reading that Iron Man 3, Thor 2, and Cap 2 all happened at the same time - so nobody could help each other. Dunno if that's true, but it'd explain it.
Fuckin' Hulk could help out though.

[sp]He was listening to Tony telling his story though[/sp]
In the scene where the targeting computers were starting to aquire targets, one of the first ones to pop up was tony stark, and it had a sattelite view of him just chillin in stark tower.

That's not a plot hole, and you'd know that if you bothered to pay attention to the movie.

Because the MCU is one big, consistent universe doesn't mean all the main characters have to constantly interact with each other. Otherwise every single film would just be the hulk showing up and wrecking shit for two hours because everyone would ask for his help.
I figured Cap & the others couldn't call on the Avengers since they were being ruthlessly pursued by HYDRA.

well someone had to design the avengers tower or whatever it's called
AoU spoilers [sp]Okay this might be because I didn't watch Avengers 1 (I kinda went to see the movie on a whim), or because I'm a little dense but I didn't expect Hawkeye to die in the movie. I didn't expect any of the Avengers to die, they're the Avengers, I figured that would be plot armor enough.[/sp]

[sp]There's a whole furor going on right now about that interpretation of Black Widow saying her sterility makes her a monster. Now, maybe I'm in the minority here but I thought it was simply a statement that makes it okay Banner can't give her children. We've had 3 movies, including this one, where Black Widow alludes to her dark past and her remorseless killing (potentially of innocents). THAT is what makes her a monster, and I thought Age of Ultron was all but smashing the audience in the face with it. How so many people connected the "I'm sterile" to "I'm a monster" is absolutely beyond me.[/sp]

I blame mental gymnastics and misinterpretations for this.

While I understood what they were going for, the fact that she says [sp]"think YOU'RE the only monster?"[/sp] immediately after revealing [sp]she's infertile[/sp] was clunky as fuck.
I don't think it's worth destroying the movie over, but it definitely should have been worded differently and it's kinda shocking that no one saw that and said "hey, maybe some people will misinterpret this line that can easily be re-written".

Haven't seen the movie yet, but from this post I'm starting to understand that those words spoken were the "you're a big guy/for you" of AoU.
Seeing the film tomorrow night with some friends in 3D. I didn't want to see it in 3D but I was the minority vote. Hope it's alright in that format.
oh wow i'm not the only person who hasn't seen it still
we should totally meet up and go see it irl
Come to South NJ tomorrow at 7:30 :v:

Considering the other thread you're still a regular in, that question answers itself.

Conversely, where the hell was Cap when Killian kidnapped the President of the US and was going to kill him on live television?

watching star wars, obviously.
there are more important things in life for a 95 year-old superhero than saving the day every damn day. also something along the lines of all the phase 2 films are supposed to be happening around the same time as each other, but it doesn't work since im3 is set at christmas while ca2 is clearly spring/summer.
And Thor 2 took places sometime in the spring, based on Agents of Shield.

I could get Iron Man 2 and Cap 2 happening at the same time, it's a bit of a stretch but I can get it
But there's no way Thor 2 happened at the same time as the other two, there was SO MUCH widespread chaos on earth in Thor 2 it would have overlapped with IM2 or Cap 2 if they happened at the same time, seriously.

[sp]In which case it becomes the writer's direct fault for making the entire dialogue so clunky it sounds like she's saying she's a monster because she's infertile. It doesn't matter whether or not it was intended, it shows that there was no care put into the writing at all, because that's beginner grade mistakes all over.
As far as the scene goes she says "you think YOU're the only monster ?" then immediately goes on about being sterile, to which Banner responds by saying he's also infertile (as a consequence to being a radioactive muscular timebomb). If it wasn't intended to have her break down over her infertility, then the scene was so poorly written and put together that it's even more embarassing.[/sp]

By the way, [sp]during the "SHIELD was HYDRA all along" montage, they mention killing people who were a threat, and show a newsclipping with Howard Stark's face. Was that ever commented on?[/sp]

That's probably going to be one of the reasons for Civil War I think.
