Even in Ang Lee’s Hulk, this character could have easily been Rick Jones instead of “Harper”.  Banner even throws himself in front of the gamma blast to save him.

How is this article based on this premise...

I wasn’t making any judgements on either of them. I haven’t seen either of them. But both seemed like wanna be blockbusters that outright failed, which the previous comment said wasn’t a thing anymore. I haven’t seen Speed Racer either but I don’t think it did well either. I do want to see it, I just never got around…

It was still a failed wannabe blockbuster, though, correct?

To be perfectly honest, I was just being snarky for the sake of being snarky. I haven’t seen Gibson’s Hamlet since it came out in 1990 and I have never seen Hawke’s Hamlet. I loved Brannagh’s Hamlet, although Billy Crystal and Robin Williams being in it was a little distracting and took me out of the movie. I also…

Funny how failed wanna-be blockbusters like the Day The Earth Stood Still remake are just gone now.

This article made me rewatch Winter Solder again tonight. Still one of the top 5 MCU movies. But has anyone ever explained how Steve and Nat break into the bunker, take a long elevator down to Zola’s server room, and when the missile hits, they get blown back up to ground level?  :)

Hell, I would have gone with the 2 second scene of Groot screaming while Rocket fires a gun from his back.

During the stadium fight, why did Barry start running backwards so Nora could catch him? Did I miss something?

So the big chip on Nora’s shoulder was actually about a CHIP ON HER SHOULDER?

what is up with that yellow pole in the middle of the living room?

I’m only six months behind on The Flash. And this episode justified my staying away. The review mentions the heavy handed “fake news” story, but does anyone in the comments mention the heavy handed “you took away my choice” storyline? I couldn’t tell if they were going for a heavy handed cis/trans gender thing or what.

The actor in that scene (Aaron Himelstein) also played City College’s lead debator Jeremy Simmons on Community.

Yeah, me saying it is at the bottom of my personal MCU ranking just means I like it the least of all the MCU movies. That doesn’t mean I hate it or think it’s a bad movie. I’ll pop this on and watch it before I re-watch Ready Player One any day of the week.

I completely forgot that Sam Rockwell came back to play Justin Hammer one last time in this. That was probably the best of the One Shots, with the possible exception being the Agent Carter one.

since every subsequent movie essentially ignored it completely.

The scene with him talking to Banner was funny and that could have been the mid-credit scene, but then a very end-credit scene like you describe would have made sense.

I think the hand waving away of Extremis is the bigger issue. Tony fixes Extremis, fixes Pepper, fixes his own heart...and then. You’d think after Rhodey broke his spine in Civil War there would be at least a throw-away line about incorporating Extremis in his treatment plan along with the mechanical leg braces. I do…
