How can it be a god Melisandre made up if there are multiple characters (Thoros, the priestess Tyrion encountered in Volantis) praying and performing rituals to the same deity?

You mean the kid that broke his back in said fall and immediately received medical assistance, as opposed to needing to get up immediately and avoid an army of murderers like Sansa and Theon will be required to do?

There are people who don't love Arya?

So, you missed the part where the soldier comes up and tells Stannis that the sellswords deserted in the night and took all the horses with them?

"He knows now why we cry, and it’s something he can do."

That's assuming the blu-ray contains the longer cut.

LOL. I was trying to make a callback to the excuses Cap and Tony were making at the end for why Vision could wield Mjolnir while neither of them could.

He's not a P. ;-)

He gets MVP because without him disabling Scarlet Witch, the whole team is dead 1/3 of the way through the movie.

No, no, I get what you're saying. Especially since Tony had gone through the trouble to create the Iron Legion AND put Veronica (if there's any significance to that name, can someone share it with me?) in orbit.

I thought it made perfect sense that Rhodey was in the IM2 War Machine suit, rather than the Iron Patriot suit that was built as an AIM Trojan Horse. Except that I thought the Iron Patriot suit WAS the Iron Patriot suit with a new paintjob and some tech upgrades.

I dunno. Logically, I totally agree with you. But watching it, my gut just felt like, Cap's going "how dare you act outside the will of the larger group and do what you think is right?" which is exactly what he does in Civil War.

Maybe I should have been more specific and said *effective* character moments. This one definitely had more downtime; it's just that most of it wasn't particularly effective for me (aside from the party scene, which was awesome, and I think I keep not-counting that because I'd already watched it 200 times before the…

"Basically, the down time was better in this film, the action and the villain were better in the first (althought the Hydra-takeover scene was awesome)."

In their defense, the team only has one magic hammer.

It would never GET the necessary speed. It's a giant hunk of rock, mostly flat on the bottom, and you're dropping it from airline cruising altitude. You're never going to get speeds akin to a meteor hurtling through space at tens of thousands of miles per hour.

The idea of it being able to destroy all life on Earth was ridiculous to begin with.

I was watching this wondering what happened between Avengers 1 and 2 that suddenly the Hulk can no longer be fully in control of his actions and has to be talked down by Widow at the end of every battle?

Stark's goal wasn't to develop a peacekeeping force; it was to develop a planetary defense force against outside invasion, because he realized that the idea of six people versus an entire army of aliens is ludicrous and they lucked out last time.

Exactly. In fact, I'll do you one better. There wasn't a moment where THE CHARACTERS thought they might lose the battle. Despite the bullshit lines of "there's no way we all survive this", there are exactly zero scenes where any given Avenger is not positively pwning all the mini-Ultrons in sight. Even Prime Ultron…
