Namaste, dudes and dudettes. Uuuugh, 3 more days to go! But hearing tons and tons of good things about Civil War, and how it's a cure to BvS. That I DO believe.

But we're here to talk about the chain of events that lead up to Civil War, and that is:

AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

Now I've given my review here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6719672/, and touched on the crap people still complain about.

Now for some this movie's polarizing, and somehow a disappointment, a LOT of common complaints are about how this movie's not dark enough, and how it shoulda been as dark as 'The Dark Knight.' SCREW YOU! That's not valid a complaint. Hell if Snyder directed this, you'd have that dumbass wish, and he'd somehow have Ultron rape Black Widow when she was captive. I'm not far off with that, he says in this article here: http://www.vox.com/2016/5/2/1156593.....justice-league, he would have a prison-rape scene if he directed Nolan's Batman trilogy. Now he said 'could of', but considering he doesn't think superheroes in costumes talking to each other don't pose legitimate coolness and wanting to kill Jimmy Olsen for 'fun'... WB... you NUKED yourself AGAIN keeping him on.

Having darkness just for shits and giggles, and the for the sake of it isn't the way to go. And I'm here to talk about I love it as it is. As always we'll look at the pros, cons and the What Should Have Happened (W.S.H.H.)

Pro: Love the opening, really gets things going. Now people complained about how they got back together, well if you watched the one episode of Agents of SHIELD, we see Coulson getting the location of the Hydra Sokovia base and calls the Avengers in.

This isn't so much a con, but I kinda woulda liked to have seen more of Baron Strucker, but they avoided a Spider-man 3 by not having too many main boss villains. Still, woulda liked to see him at least in one episode of SHIELD.

SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL'S WITH CAPTAIN AMERICA AND DESTROYING HIS MOTORCYCLES!?!?

Pro: Loved Scarlet Witch and how she played up Tony's mind to give into his fear, which was the point of it all. Just for revenge, but it had consequences as we saw here, and it lead up to her joining the Avengers.

Pro: Loved that War Machine was in this. Definitely love Maria Hill and Nick Fury's parts in this.

Pro: People STILL complain how Banner/Widow romance is dull, I wholeheartedly disagree. We see subtle hints of them in the first Avengers, and I saw a bit of a connection. Remember this ain't the comic universe, so I don't wanna hear, 'But he's suppose to get with Betty!' I don't care! And people love to misinterpenetrate that Widow's a monster cuz she's baron, no, it's cuz she use to be a killer, dumbasses!

Pro: People bitch about how jokey Ultron is. People, he was made by Stark. Look at Lord Zedd, he got jokey in his tenure later down the road, but he was still menacing and evil. Ultron was a sick and sadistic platinum bastard, and the humor for him was subtle, and it added a definite creepiness to him. That, plus James Spader's voice for him was equally as creepy. "But Hank Pym's suppose to make Ultron!" He's a physicist, it doesn't make sense to me, plus it makes more sense for Stark to do it.

Pro: Andy Serkis, you are the man! Loved his intro for Klaw and how it'll tie in with Black Panther and the Vibranium. I know a good Automail mechanic, bro.

Pro: Deliberate or not, glad Marvel Studios took into account of the destruction in Man of Steel with the Hulkbuster fight. Yeah, Tony was trying to get Hulk OUT OF THE CITY, like Supes shoulda done with Zodd. Hey, the Hulkbuster fight was bound to happen eventually, and glad it did. Now if only we could get a Hulk vs Thing match to happen on the big screen.

Already talked about Hawkeye's family and how I like that.

Con: Do wish they explained that pool a little more with Thor, but we get to learn more about the Infinity Stones, and I knew that staff had to be a Stone. That's really my only complaint in the movie.

Pro: Vision is so FREAKING COOL! Paul Bettany's voice as JARVIS I love, and I knew somewhere down the line when they announced Vision for the film, he was be him, and boy was I glad to be right. ^^ Can't wait to see the romance with him and Scarlet Witch.

Now people compare the Quicksilvers of both this and for FOX's X-Men, but I do like them both and I'm kinda glad Quicksilver's gonna be in Apocalypse... though they spoiled the family lineage, but who cares. Anyway, I kinda hoped they saved Pietro, but it was a good sacrifice scene, and it lead up to Wanda joining.

Like I said, having darkness for the sake of darkness is a horrible idea, and some idiots say that they shoulda shown people dying, and the Avengers unable to save them. If you were to say that in front of my face, I would not hesitate in punching your face for that idiocy. THEY'RE SUPERHEROES, YOU IDIOT!

So yeah, this movie rocks. I love this movie as much as the first. People complain that there's too many tie-ins for other future films, but they were organically crafted in. They didn't become a main focus, and it didn't deter from the film itself. Batman vs Superman is a prime example of how NOT TO DO TIE-INS! This movie did what it needed to do for me to like it, and I can't wait to see it again in my MCU marathon I'm doing tomorrow ^^ Also this was the first MCU film to not have an after-credit scene. Though the Thanos mid-credit scene is pretty ominous

Anyway, next time is Ant-Man. Thanks for your time.
