I love the 14-minute extended dance sequence choreographed by Debbie Allen. Who knew Hawkeye could, as they say, move like Jagger?

I like to read spoilers. In fact, I looked up the spoilers for these scenes as soon as I read this article (Hint: Reddit is a good place to find spoilers). It doesn’t ruin the movie for me - it enhances my desire to see the scenes described. Spoilers never ruin a good piece of entertainment.

All these years later and I still find the decision to ship those two odd.
The bulk of their prior screentime is varying degrees of Banner warning/threatening about what he’s capable of and then Hulking out and trying to kill her.
Now, this isn’t to say a bridge is burned on that alone, but to go right from that to

I still hate how Ultron’s mouth moves and contains  no Kirby crackle. 

Whedon can complain about studio interference all he wants, but he was responsible for the Hulk/Black Widow romance, for making Black Widow a damsal in distress, and calling her a monster because she was sterilized. 

Weekend at Ultron’s

Thor 2 (because of bad), Captain Marvel (because of still in theatres) and Black Panther (because I want to properly see it in one sitting and time is scarce) are the ones I haven’t rewatched. Iron Man 3 is one I’ve given up on rewatching.

I think Thor’s spooky pool vision could have worked with just one key difference: they should’ve made it the post-credits scene.

Avengers: Weekend of Ultron

The weirdest thing about this movie is that Tony is totally responsible for Ultron, but nobody ever seriously calls him out on that and the movie seems to actually forget this as it goes on. Tony’s guilt over creating Ultron is the subtext of his later character arc, but Ultron isn’t even mentioned by name in later

But then, I was born yesterday.

Whedon was cinematic? Avengers looked like a TV movie, and the only thing that changed with Ultron was the aspect ratio.

I dunno. Their fight scenes are the most kinetic in the series, and some of the best in “mainstream cinema,” such as it is.

This was my least favorite MCU movie... partly because of the title. It should have been called 3 Days of Ultron or something.

I found Ultron’s pathos much more engaging than Thanos. But Thanos was presented as the bigger threat. The biggest mistake of AoU, was not presenting dire enough stakes. Which is weird since the world was in danger, but you never really felt like the plan was gonna succeed.

Wish they’d kept Ultron as the messed up Iron Man suit that he is when you first see him, was way creepier than his newer form.

I stand by my belief that this movie should have just been 2 hours of the party at the beginning.

You really think AoU is better than Civil War or Infinity War?

I imagine they will mirror the scene when he killed the Mad King. They find him sitting on the Iron Throne after killing Cersei. 

The Night King doesn’t even have to invade, Sansa’s gonna freeze the north over with just her stare.
