Why So Blu?

^ that, and it was kind of cool that I could hear people whisper that it was Ultron. I was like STFU NERDS!

Solid Snake

Who was Ultron? Zola? I don't think we got any Ultron in this. Something that could lead? Maybe but doesn't seem like Ultron... Yet. I could roll that Zola could have something to do with fucking Stark over.

Thanks. I knew the Winter Soldier was from the comics but I had to ask a comic fan buddy about the HYDRA-SHEILD thing. Also had to him about HAMMER aswell as I had heard of it but not where it fitted into everything.

Why So Blu?

Right before the Zola monitor turned on I could hear the nerds whispering "It's Ultron" until some of the uber nerds said "Zola!"

I knew it wouldn't be Ultron.

Solid Snake

Ah. The MCU has changed a lot of the 616 world we know. It's been cool deviations from it though. Is the MCU a Cataloged world yet? What number is it?

I like Jones as Zola.

You're trying too hard.


So you were one of the uber nerds?

Meanwhile, looks like it made $37 million on Friday.

So if that holds, this might top $110 million for the weekend. I know the article doesn't seem to think that but it is possible. Marvel has to be absolutely thrilled. Probably why they rehired the directors.

Why So Blu?

Yes. i was one of the uber nerds that keep their mouth shut during movies.

A long rundown about the characters in the movie as they relate to their comic counterparts and their storylines, as well as references to the TV show. Filled with spoilers for the events in Winter Soldier, but a good refresher on the universe so far.

Bandoman

This was terrific. Just a lot of fun.

I have never been a comic book/graphic novel fan, so all of the MCU is new to me. I love the direction this is taking, and can't wait to see how it changes Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm guessing S.H.I.E.L.D. will simply become a smaller covert operation dedicated to defeating Hydra.

The pacing of the movie was perfect, the action was not overwhelming and I could actually follow it (thank you Russos for resisting the close-up shaky cam approach). Cap was bad ass, through and through.

Ky-Fi

Thinking about it some more, this was a pretty "smart" movie, in a lot of ways. Take the elevator scene...

Greg MacGuffin

That was a terrific scene. Very creative and well-choreographed. Nice to see a different take on what would have otherwise been a standard brawl. The confined space added a ton of tension.

Ky-Fi

Yes, and I liked the fact that, unlike some movies where it's edited and written so that the audience can see what's coming, but the characters don't---they had Cap being sharp enough to instantly see what was going down.

Solid Snake

Yeah. A lot ingenuity in this flick.

Was kind of sad that that really wasn't Agutter's character doing all that action. I geeked out seeing her kick ass.

I really, really liked this. Admittedly I've always been a Cap fan and The Winter Soldier storyline is one of my all time favorites. However this more than lived up to my expectations.

I thought the movie was well paced and I thought that the action scenes were all really well done. I also liked the tone that it maintained throughout. This felt more like a spy story involving a super hero than a super hero movie. I agree that this is Marvel's Dark Knight. On another note, for everyone who complains about the Nolan Batman movies or Man of Steel not being "fun" enough, I look forward to seeing if they complain about this as well.

I liked almost everything except for two parts: The first was Captain America's all blue costume. I understand that it was supposed to be a special ops type costume but I wasn't a fan of changing his look. I also think Emily Van Camp as Sharon Carter was almost completely wasted and seemed to serve no real point.

But overall I loved this movie. I don't rate many movies this highly but it was an easy 5/5 for me.

I think they're just laying groundwork.

Captain America 3: Steve goes to Peggy's funeral, sees Sharon/Neighbor and asks why she's there. "Oh, Peggy was my aunt." Even though they'll have to change it to Grandma or something.

Solid Snake

I think she's still Sharon's aunt in the 616.


They're most likely doing that. Seems like we're from what saw at the end.

anomynous

Yeah, but I think there's too much of an age difference for it to be aunt-niece in this case.

Solid Snake

I actually thought they did a retcon again on Peggy but no. Still an aunt. Originally she was Sharon's older sister. Then turned into the aunt.

I loved the early visual for Crossbones. The crossed straps. Will love his continuation after he went through. I was happy that he had the upper hand on Wilson.

Dr. DVD

Saw it. This is probably the best movie of the bunch next to Avengers. While not as fun as the first Iron Man, it definitely works well as a regular political type thriller. Kind of a Tom Clancy story with superheroes. I wonder if Zola might be the "clairvoyant" on the Agents of Shield? I haven't seen this past week's ep., so I don't know if that character has been revealed or not, but this movie really does help some recent events in that series make more sense IMO.
While I liked all of it , my favorite moments were Black Widow's and I totally geeked out for that one!

While I was skeptical about a Black Widow movie, I think Johannsen could carry it. I hope they do a prequel where we get to see why her ledger is so "red" .

Solid Snake

Is SHIELD a good show now?

I don't think we'd need a prequel on her. She was KGB, that's enough for me. I don't mind more backstory on her though.

anomynous

Yes, it's been pretty good since episode 10

Abob Teff

Fixed.
