    Went yesterday afternoon to the Avengers / Avengers Age of Ultron double feature... Would have tried the longer marathon, but no where nearby was running it.

    Not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, but not as good as the first. The number of new characters was bordering on Batman & Robin / Spider-man 3 territory though.

    Yes, but in this case, a necessary evil...especially if trying to stay semi-close to 'book canon'.

    Not to spoil anything, but if you are expecting it to be similar to the comics, you will be disappointed.

    That's why I said semi-close...

    The 'extra' new characters are definitely part of the 'expanded' Avengers, which is 'book', but that's about as close as it gets...

    (Minor) SPOILERS!


    If you watch the scene closely, the good Captain gets the hammer to shift just a little bit. Which is true to the comics where the Captain was the only other person (that I know of) that has been able to lift Thor's hammer.

    I don't believe the chest was opened, but I think it relates to the post credits scene.

    As long as it's got Scarlett Johansson in figure-hugging black lycra, I will be a happy bunny.

    Cheers,

    Alex.

    Odin has always been able to pick it up. It seems that Thor (and presumably Odin) can allow others to pick Mjolnir up; Thor lent it to Superman in the JLA/Avengers crossover. After the need to use it had passed, Kal-El could no longer lift it.

    I did get to see the movie yesterday; it was the second best thing I've experienced so far this year. I got a kick out of the mid-credits scene, but it did seem to conflict a little with something I saw in the first Thor movie. I won't say any more at this point, I'm sure a lot of people haven't gotten to see the new movie yet.

    Beta-ray Bill...

    And yes, Odin could...but he doesn't count, he's the one who made the enchantment on it in the first place.

    There was another guy, a minor character named Eric Masterson, who went by Thunderstrike in the comics, who could wield Thor's hammer as well.

    "Puny god..."

    That has to be my favorite obvious line from the first movie. The comedic factor was one thing, but it summed up the personality of the Hulk's character better than the previous two Hulk movies did.

    "I recognize that the council has made a decision, but being that it's a stupid ass decision, I have elected to ignore it."

    That one runs a close second. But then I have seen the first Avengers movie so many times that I can probably write out 75% of the script from memory.

    And for Thor's hammer...

    Admittedly, I forgot about Beta Ray Bill. For some reason I thought Captain America was the first one able to do that in the comics. I don't recall Odin ever lifting the hammer himself in the comics. At least not on panel. But then I am trying to remember 30+ years of comics, so I am probably wrong.

    I wouldn't consider Superman really canon though. That seemed more like a reason to have a panel with Superman holding Thor's hammer in one hand and Cap's shield on the other. I also don't think Thor ever again exhibited the power to grant permission either.

    (I also recall sporadic times when even Thor was no longer worthy to lift the hammer. So there's that too.)

    Since then it has become kind of a non-surprise. "Oh my god, he lifted Thor's hammer!" throw away thing.

    Just saw AOU in 3D, hit the early show since the GF and I both took off work today to spend the day together. Great movie, totally lived up to the hype and my expectation, plus the 3D was well done IMO. I will probably see it a few more times before it hits DVD. I really enjoy seeing connections with the other films, no matter how small.

    I wish there was a good quality 3D Quinjet around, LOL.

    Yeah, admittedly I have probably over 50 years of comic reading for my feeble mind to sort through, but I do seem to recall somewhere during that time Thor allowing someone else to wield Mjolnir. It could just be senility on my part, though. I see the JLA/Avevngers thing as being quasi-canon; certainly nothing that happened in it is binding on either company, but after the team-up (and before the New 52 reboot), the JLA was keeping an eye on the 'egg' (or whatever it is) that Krona had become (or was trapped in...). That scene in the Justice League may be moot now in the New 52 multiverse; I haven't read any of the newer books.

    Considering how many intellectual properties Disney owns now, I wonder if we'll ever see the Avengers encounter the Muppets? Coulson and friends make a wrong turn and find themselves in Storybrooke? Darth Vader and Thanos having tea? The possiblities (and potential silliness) are endless.

    Regina is really Amadala and she'll get reunited with Anakin...after Loki mindwarps Kermit to nearly destroy Storybrooke....and Kermit, of course, is David's dead 'brother'...the 'real' prince, who instead of being killed was...turned into a frog, of course.

    I might be in the minority here, but I don't think Disney would be that foolish...

    They have some pretty sharp, creative people working for them. And they know not to devalue their own assets.

    The few crossovers there have been, have actually been very well done. And usually very well received.

    Phineas and Ferb cross over with Marvel for example. I think there might have been one of these with Star Wars too?

    Muppets figures in Star Wars roles. Disney figures in Star Wars roles.

    They seem very careful in how these assets touch each other, probably to make sure the distinction between them isn't blurred.

    That being said, I would pay oodles for a well written, on going Muppets comic.

    EDIT TO ADD:

    I am still going to say that Thor's granting the ability to lift his hammer was a throw away thing to further the story. And I believe this happened during the JLA / Avengers team up.

    If you approach it from a logical, marketing stand point, Marvel wouldn't want Superman to just happen to be able to be "worthy." That would devalue Thor. However, you get around this sticking point by saying Thor "allowed" it to happen. That way Thor can "save face" so to speak and not be lesser to Superman.

    From AA, it has to be Loki's q-bomb (only Whedon would get away with it, and the "Language" line at the start of AOU makes me almost think he kinda didn't.)

    MINOR SPOILERS:


    From AOU, "You really are terribly naive." - "Well, I was born yesterday."

    Big realism downer: They're supposed to be at 18000 feet and having a major battle and evacuating hundreds of civilians. So why are they not all dying from hypoxia, or at least seriously incapacitated? (okay, maybe Iron man's suit is pressurised, but the others?) But no, they're all running around as if they were at sea level! The evac team should at least have had everyone on supplemental O2...

  • Sorry to necro this thread, but I wanted to ask if anyone had seen a good Ultron-esque model or head prop for DAZ or Poser?  I would have thought with the movie someone might have made one but Google and other searches can't locate anything.

    I figured the people interested in this thread would know :)
