i think the fights erupt on this board over this because people (at least i am) are tired of constantly having to defend their excitement. its like you alluded to, its become that "friend" that just shits on everything and isnt really fun to be around.

that teaser looked pretty interesting and exciting. do you think people want to hear how awful someone randomly thinks it is? every time something good comes out about this movie, its almost instantly shot down around here. its just nauseating to deal with all the time.

I know. I'm not excited about Age of Ultron because I don't care for The Avengers, even though I've seen all the films except Winter Solider, but you don't see me going "the new poster for Age of Ultron has left me permanently flaccid."

And the whole "well I'm not a comic fan but I watch the movies" is not a valid reason to speculate on the powers and the abilities of superheroes. Why? Because you're not familiar with the source. And one movie is not enough to explain or use to speculate the physics of a universe that is extremely large and at the fledgling stage of being built on film. People keep trying to say "MoS made humans look like ants compared to Superman." The thing is we never saw any humans that are capable of making humans look like ants. Examples: Luthor, Bruce Wanye, Vandal Savage, Hank Henshaw, etc. But non-comic readers wouldn't know that these people, these humans, have the power, money, intelligence, and influence to do whatever they want.

I'm fine with all that. Personally, my biggest hang up at this point is what are their plans for the future. Young WW, young Supes, old Batman. It makes it where they will have to reboot the JL much sooner than they probably should. You cant have someone "succeed" Batman. Not in this incarnation.

---

You can't have someone succeed the Hulk either. WE DON"T KNOW WHAT THE frick IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN EITHER MOVIE YET!

I won't be overthinking the tech in this movie.

The movie being grounded in a realistic universe will be the least of its problems.

There was some remarkable imagery in what they showed us. First and foremost, we got a taste of the fight between Iron Man in his full Hulkbuster armor and the Hulk, who is on a full rampage.

It's funny how nobody is talking about how ridiculous this is.

quote:

---

They just seem a tad....slapdash with their plan right now.

---

I think they have a great plan.

quote:

---

They were very careful not to show why or how that’s happening, though, simply giving us a taste of the combat and the scale of the mayhem.

---

Iron Man better be careful not to have any collateral damage.

quote:

Not to be a dick but do you mind telling us the details of what their plan is? Because I haven't heard a thing about it.

The word of the day is S P E C U L A T I O N.

Look, Marvel showed that for these movies to succeed, while characters are important, it is actor driven. Right actor, right role, get people hooked and you are golden. Ironman wasn't anywhere near Cap, Batman, Supes, WW, or Spiderman. Yet he is the character that has driven their surge. Actually it isn't even Ironman its Tony Stark. Long-term how viable is the Affleck as an "old" Batman? And I don't mean how good can he play the part. He might do fantastic. I mean how long before this version has to retire. It is like they have already decided on an early reboot. If they reboot Batman where do they go with the rest of the JL? What if Gadot is amazing and the fans want her for JL2/3 and WW1/2/3, but they wrote themselves into a hole with Bats.

Anything is possible and we know next to nothing. TDKR as a singular storyline is something that needs done on the big screen in some form or fashion. Let's see what the future holds. Ftr, I'm really looking forward to this, and can't wait to watch it. Not trying to piss anyone off, just conversating.

for real. i cant wait for this. i love it when people just instantly rationalize iron man taking on the hulk in huge armor. but batman wearing something to help him against Superman is ridiculous.

---

But it's called the Hulkbuster. HULKBUSTER!

If Batman names his armor the Supermanbuster, it'll probably be accepted. It's all about the name.
