Is it just me, or does this look like a terrible shoop your weird cousin posts on facebook?
Is there anyway to make Quicksilver look good?
It's all about drawing them swooshes. Especially swooshing hair. Twilight got the swooshes just right.
Did HULK close his eyes to avoid the camera flash?
I hate how every movie poster/promo has the actors copy-pasta'ed into the pic together. You would think they could afford a photographer on a 100 million dollar movie.
It's being produced by Entertainment Weekly, not Disney/Marvel, who probably didn't want to shell out the $$$$ to get a new group photo. Cheap Photoshop it is, then!
The best thing about that ugly poster is that Hawkeye is the one turned around looking over his shoulder.
Jeremy Renner didn't buy Buns of Steel for nothing!
Man, 90's X-Men had the best costumes.Parallel to Xmen cover?
I own that issue!
I don't think there's anyone who read comics in the 90s that doesn't own that issue.
Considering that there were over 8 million copies of it printed, yep.
I never did. But then, I'm not a big X-Men fan. Or a big Jim Lee fan.
I was a DC Street Level Hero fan. Batman, Green Arrow, Question, El Diablo, etc...

One of the biggest curiosities about the movie that I can't wait to see is how they make Vision. There is obviously going to be a J.A.R.V.I.S connection but they have been very tight lipped on Visions whole origin, and I really just want to see how that connection plays out.
My theory is Ultron gets into all of Tony's systems and one of them is JARVIS. Maybe gives JARVIS some more self-control or self-awareness. Then builds him a body to "free" him from his digital prison. And JARVIS, still being of free will, joins The Avengers.
That's all totally theory, mind you. It could - and likely will - play out entirely differently.
My guess is that Vision will only show up at the very end. Sort of like Nick's scenario, but Vision only "breaks free" of Ultron's control near the end, and tips the scales in the Avengers' favor.
I say this because so far we haven't seen the Vision in any of the battle scenes in the trailers, such as that one where the Avengers are standing in a circle surrounded by Ultron-bots.

From what I remember, Vision is stupid powerful, so I wouldn't be surprised if you're right and he's only a big part of the last battle.
Clip from the movie, with my reservations about it below.
This shows Tony Stark giving less of a shit about civilian collateral damage than fucking Man of Steel. That's not good. It's also about as video gamey as it gets with the regenerating self repairing armor in the worst way possible. The driver of that delivery vehicle. Probably dead. Tony's just letting loose with his Hulk powered repulsors willy fucking nilly.
1) Eh, of all the Avengers, Tony is probably the most reckless. Plus, he's against The Hulk, who's known for collateral damage. Plus plus, we haven't seen the whole fight yet. Reserve judgement until that.
2) I actually liked the way Tony repaired the armour. It's basically an extension of what we already saw in Iron man 3.

Did you see Iron Man 1 or 3? In IM1, Tony kills several terrorists during his escape from the 10 Rings, then comes back for more later where he wastes even more (though he's a bit more careful about not hitting civilians this time). Then, in Iron Man 3, when he builds gadgets to sneak into The Mandarin's base of operations, he's gunning down thugs left and right to the point that he literally uses an Uzi/Mac-10 on one at one point.
Tony may speak big about the sanctity of human life and not wanting to make weapons anymore, but he's probably got a body count up there with Black Widow and Hawkeye at this point.

I do think that at least trying to address the issue of collateral damage would've been nice. For example, the Hulkbuster armor is shown as being capable of picking up the Hulk and carrying him, as well as knocking the Hulk back a considerable distance. How about a brief scene where Tony picks up the Hulk and tries to fly him somewhere less populated (possibly while muttering "gotta get you off the street") but the Hulk interrupts Tony by punching him two hundred yards backwards. And then Tony's all like "okay then", gets up, and the rest of the fight proceeds as we see in the clip.
EDIT: Or, heck, just add a scene with Tony muttering about getting the Hulk off the street in this very clip, during the part where the Hulkbuster picks up the Hulk.

I hate getting into these storyline arguments, but-
When Superman blows up buildings in Man of Steel during his FIRST REAL FIGHT WITH SOMEONE EVER IN HIS LIFE, and then later while fighting three different alien threats at once alone - this is inexcusable, Superman is a monster and shouldn't even be called Superman anymore!
If the Avengers do the same with 10 members and 20 movies' experience fighting super villains in crowded cities - eh, it's collateral damage/the Hulk
I'm at least consistent in not caring, since a superhero fight in a field in Montana would be boring as fuck and never happen on film.

I don't think that's a correct assessment of the argument. It's not that he's not Superman because killing is objectively bad, he's not Superman when he does that because 90 years of comics have built up a character whose one consistent feature is his boy scout, almost naively innocent nature. Stark, on the other hand, has quite a different personality in the comics.
