There are too many forced links to other properties, including Marvel’s TV shows and all the movies.

The people screaming and running for their lives is where the stakes come from. Those people are what matters and the movie never lost sight of that. Tony Stark saved people while getting pummeled by the Hulk. Quicksilver saved people with an AK-47. They saved an entire city!! THE WHOLE DAMNED CITY ONE PERSON AT A…

Ugh. Completely agree with the Black Widow story line. SPOILERS. What the fuck was that? Why couldn’t she just have calmed him down because they are friends and close? Also, why is not being able to bear children compared to being a monster?

I would say that the Hulk fight was more important for Bruce Banners arc than the main plot. It lead him onto the path he took in the end.

I agree on all levels. Funny, because Avengers and AoU have essentially the same run time, but I do remember thinking that Avengers felt long when I watched it the first time, and AoU FLEW by for me. I could have easily spent 20 more minutes in the seat no problem, especially if it did restore some edits to make…

I liked this much better than the first. it had more of what I wanted out of an Avengers film. Better action, more banter, stronger relationships, and tons of personality clashes. It was more like reading one of the comics than any Marvel film so far.

James Spader as Ultron was like every piece of snarky, insightful…

You would make PFTCommenter so, so happy.

I don't think you know how slander works.

I get this is the anti-Simmons site, gotta set up your tent somewhere, but why qualify it? Simmons two best accomplishments, 30 for 30 and Grantland, both reveal a guy who finds people who are talented and empowers them to do great work.

It’s the difference between hiring people whose work you enjoy and letting them do that kind of work, and hiring people expecting them to do exactly the work you want them to do.

Grantland succeeds because I think Simmons, despite his ego, knows at least enough to give other people the space to do their own things. I think Vox would be an interesting example to bring in, just based on the sheer number of retractions they have to publish.

When Whitlock wrote that tripe regarding SAE, I did a Facebook post ridiculing him for once again taking black people to task for an issue that in no way was because of black people. He FOUND IT and stated that he was sorry that I “Misrepresented his column”. I responded that the only way I could have misrepresented…

Damn, Whitlock got put in a vacant.

Baloney. In Germany not only are workers paid more but give more generous benefits. Yet they are successful at making things. I have no clue where this idea came from that we as Americans should be happy to sacrifice our quality if living in the name of employment came from but it's horse shit.

Yes, I read it. My comment isn’t meant to be combative with the writer. Where are you getting that from?

The Spencer Hawes deal should have worked, though. A 26 year-old big man who had averaged about 12 pts and 8 rebounds in the last two years before LA, and hit 3’s should have fit perfectly to balance out Griffin and Jordan. This “Doc is a bad GM” storyline would be gone if Hawes performed as he should have, and all…

I understand the desire too, and I like to think that life in prison is a far, far worse punishment. He’d likely be sent to a supermax in Colorado, where he’ll spend most of his life in solitary confinement. And he’s young, so he might have a looooooong sentence.....

For a midsize family sedan, it’s pretty good looking.
