I always though Howard seemed more like the kind of guy who’d be Tony’s pal than Don Cheadle. Howard has that kind of bro-ish energy that suits the role. I like Cheadle in the MCU, but it feels like a very different Rhodey.

You ALL still have Joker’s boners!

I actually thought Howard was pretty good, but I certainly have no complaints about Cheadle, either.

I fucking love the videos of him in the voice booth.

One of the MCU’s greatest strengths is its casting

Jesse, your refusal to acknowledge the Peter/Tony, Quill/Gamora. Gamora/Thanos, Thor/Rocket, and Wanda/Vision beats in this film reminds me that you are the AV Club’s Chilly, the Elf Who Cannot Love.

Bonus points if you’ve played those Marvel Ultimate Alliance games because they hinged on pulling off multiplayer combos like that.

What’s awesome about Avengers is for a film series that hadn’t yet delivered a truly memorable action sequence (as the article states), suddenly we got 3.

If you’re concerned about the shortness of life, and who isn’t, I’d re-evaluate your time budgeting to include less internet commenting.

TAKE IT FROM ME.

Yeah, the generalizations about terrible action in Marvel films only works if you completely ignore all of the Russo bros. films. Winter Soldier alone accounts for 3 or 4 of the top five action scenes in superhero cinema. Civil War probably accounts for the other 2.

I think calling it risk averse is underselling the risks they did take. There’s no good reason to leave their massive tentpole movie to a guy who made a few cult classic TV shows. It’s insane to try to make a completely unknown cosmic superhero team into a movie and give it to a guy whose previous credits are just…

He’s been goaded into it cause he’s a fuckin idiot! This is not the worlds greatest detective Batman, this is gullible believe anything i’m told Batman.

Sadly, they didn’t blame white guys, they blamed Mars. And in a way, they were right. Andrew Stanton actually thought he could make a successful Mars movie without sacrificing a single goat or bull to the God of War? Rookie mistake.

John Carter tanked

He’s course and rough and irritating and he’s everywhere.

Milkywhitemk6 hates Kevin Sith as much as he hates sand.

From my point of view, the Jedi are evil.

Actually, this is exactly how most match fixing works. Betting huge in the underdog brings too much scrutinity, real money if you can control the outcome is in the mid range that seems believable enough, yet was unlikely enough to pay a good fee. So, a middle of the fight KO for 12-0 guy over the high schooler in his…

I think the trouble with a film like this is that it plays to people with an unrefined understanding of race relations (past and present).

I’m going to go against the rest here and say you are better off having the first story tell the story of the betrayal through the initial Freeman stuff. Basically up to Paul taking the water of life as the cliff hanger. Then the second film is the outcome of that and the end of the war.
