re: Avenger: AoU Reviews (**MAJOR SPOILERS**)

Didn't Whedon say they would be teasing a female Avenger in the mid credit scene that the fans would be familiar with? Did they cut it? Change direction for the MCU? Decide the character wasn't ready for a tease?

As far as the movie. I really enjoyed it, but it had its niggles. Comedy wasn't one of them. With the incredible level of stress they are under, it is an accurate portrayal to show a highly trained team crack jokes with one another as an outlet. Helps relieve excess tension.

The niggles: really bad CGI in spots, talking worse than some TV shows. Ultron as a character was wasted. He was fun to watch though, enjoyed the character for the most part. Saw some mention Empire Strikes Back. That is accurate imo. Transitional movie with just enough tension to make sitting through it worth the ride. Though the Scarlet Witch did far, far, far, far more than Ultron to move the MCU along. There are others things, I don't feel like typing them all out.

Wish SW would have told them what she knew about the work HYDRA was doing on the scepter. How did they knw what to look for without Starks hologram tech? Would also have liked to know what the AI was within the Scepter. Not sure how to put this. That AI created Ultron, but through a Jarvis and Stark filter? I guess that is the best way to put it? Obviously the AI was created by Thanos, or a minion.

Anyone who thinks the AI was not, at least partially in Ultron, missed that Ultron knew an infinite stone was in the staff. Only way he could have known was if the AI from the staff was still a part of him. Did the AI protocols left in Ultron keep him from breaking out the infinite stone until a weapon was developed to use it properly?

Was it the AI that controls minds, just lets the holder think it gives them control but keeps it for Thano? Or is it a conduit to focus and guide the power of the infinite gem through the scepter? Defining the scepter's powers for the user. Such as mind control and everything else.

So many questions!

Edit: They never said the female character would be introduced in the cut scene. The way the original article was written gave it that impression because it was attached to the statement from Joss regarding the mid-credits teaser.
