when I read the article and realized most of the issues were covered
pretty plainly in the text and visuals of the film I was ready to ask
"who put pills in Rabin's ice cream?" only to scroll up and see the
byline.

I wondered if they were the same height. The film seemed to shoot Rudd to make him look taller.

They're delicious?

@ganondorf is neither good nor man.

I was pleasantly surprised by T.I. Didn't even know he was in the film until I saw him.

Yes it's refreshing like a Baskin Robbins mango fruit blast.

Yeah I don't understand why people are lost on how Darren acquired the tech since I recall at least 3 fairly long monologues about how hard he had to work to create it from scratch and 3/4 of the entire movie is surrounded by him developing shrinking technology. The fact that he had what looked like SHIELD or HYDRA

Because you can do two things?

Did you ever open the box to find the doll missing… until you turned around?

I like this explanation but the extent of what he builds in Avengers 2- the Hulkbuster with deployment satellite, Avengers training facility, the legion, and Ultron himself- suggests that his anxiety only got worse in the intervening years. We don't even see Pepper and Tony interact even over the phone and the movie

And they don't mention that Pepper is either now a legit super hero or nearly died. I think they did mention Jane was studying the convergence.

I thought that at first too but it is a problem with all the Iron Man solo films past the first outing. Iron Man 2 seems to have been made to have no real impact on the MCU and apparently didn't really develop Tony at all. I know Marvel's strategy is to make these films less hypertextual, but it is one of the reasons

I agree with just about everything you wrote. They actually started to address the team's "goodness" and oversight in late season 2 which is something that wasn't totally resolved. I definitely liked the explicit and implicit parallels to HYDRA that anyone not in SHIELD would make as related by Jaiying. Its been slow

was anything from IM3 referenced in Ultron? No one asks about Pepper and what would have to be her recovery, Tony still has a ludicrous number of robots, and Rhodey doesn't bother telling the story of how he saved the President of the United States while dodging attacks from people made of fire while being without a

have you seen season 2?

the writer deliberately misunderstood the person in question and is just trying to be a snarky asshole.

I was kind of expecting Michael Douglas to end that scene saying, "So, Hope, wanna get some ice cream?"

So don't disengage your critical regulator?

I only kinda liked it. If I hadn't seen the trailers so many times I would've been more in the moment. I was very dissapointed with Rudd's performance. He seemed flat most of the time to me. His best performances were when he was in the suit or in voiceover; he seemed to be half asleep otherwise to me. The first scene

One of the running themes is that Tony is too arrogant to ask for help, so I had no problem with this. It's easy enough to believe that the other guys were busy up until the President was kidnapped and even that was over in the course of less than a day.
