The Human Torch Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Twisting a childhood song is classic. I feel it is well used here. To each our own, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Jawa Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I suppose it works in the sense that it may partly be intended to highlight the fact that while Ultron may have surpassed his father physically and perhaps even intellectually, he is still emotionally an angry child. And I guess same goes for the Hulk, so they have a connection too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Cool Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Wow, really? I thought the strings stuff was awesome. A great subversion of the original intent of the song. I did, too. It took me a couple of viewings to really listen to the song, realize what it was and what it was from. The theme of the trailer was that of a puppet becoming autonomous, so the ironic twist of the song works for me. I did laugh when it occured to me that this was a Marvel movie, owned by Disney and that's the only reason they were able to use the song at all.

ShadowDog Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Its not the only reason. Do we really believe a movie with a $200 million budget that'll probably make a billion can't swing music rights? The assistant to the assistant to Joss probably made than it would have cost to license the song. The song is so thematically perfect I gotta believe they would have paid for it if they had to. "Wait? It costs $45 to get the strings song? fuck that, let's use Turkey on a straw instead." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberSix Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It's one thing to license songs from rights holders who have no proprietary interest in the movie biz. But I seriously doubt Disney is gonna be amenable to letting non-Disney movie studios borrow Disney songs from Disney movies to help sell non-Disney products. ("What's that, Warner Brothers, o corporate mortal enemy? You wanna use 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' from our prized blockbuster The Little Mermaid in your little Suicide Squad trailer? Uh-huh. That'll be one billion dollars. Cash.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Can't Cap pick up the hammer in the comics? Also Thor looked nervous when Cap put his hands on it, suggests he thinks of him very highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 That's because it moved a little. I'm sure this is setting up SOMEONE to pick it up, either in this film or Infinity War. A lot of people are thinking it's gonna end up being Widow, because her not trying is Chekhov's Gun. I hope not. If it's anyone, it really should be Cap.

Driver Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Cap has to get a little nod since he's such a boyscout. The only thing making him unworthy is the shadowy stuff Hydra/SHIELD was having him do post Avengers. Widow makes no sense-- her unworthiness is because of her background as an assassin. But yeah- after Phase 3, Hemsworth, Evans and RDJ will all have served out their contracts and will need replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lohr Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I thought it was great. Appropriate because the analogy fit, not because "Disney". That didn't enter my mind. Then again, regardless of technicalities, when I see the Avengers, my mind still thinks "Marvel!!!", not "Disney". And the TV landscape has vastly improved since TNG and X-Files, and Supernatural would never have lasted if it was on a real network. Well, since those are three of my all-time favorite shows, I guess I'm a "throwback viewer". Honestly, in four decades of watching TV, there have been so few shows - including in the modern landscape - that I thought were "OMG! Amazing!" right from the start. The vast majority of shows I stay with range from "Not bad - I'll stick around for a bit" to "Hey, that was pretty good". Sometimes, my interest grows from there. Sometimes, it grows quite a bit. The amount of time I tend to stick around is simply determined by how a show is holding my interest. If it's pretty good and seems like it has a chance to get better, I'll stick around to see if that happens. If my interest starts to wane, then I know it's time is running out. Some leashes for me are longer than others, I suppose, but I've enjoyed SHIELD since the start. Even early on, I felt the potential was there and they were on the right track. The show was constrained initially by being tied, yet subservient, to the films. With Cap 2, the show lost it's strings and had the freedom to really grow. I agree with Dex, though - it is much better this season, but it was never a "bad show". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Jawa Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Do you have to be a perfect angel to pick up Thor's hammer? Thor hasn't always been perfect -- he's been arrogant, self-entitled, proud... I thought you just had to be "worthy". Seems like CA should be worthy. But maybe "worthy" means something different than we think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anyone, it really should be Cap.If Marvel could get Hiddleston to stay on, I think they'd play around with the mythos a bit and have Loki redeem himself and become worthy in the final hour against Thanos. Personally, I'd love to see Natalie Portman become FemThor in Infinity War. But she'll be pushing 40 by the time Infinity War is out and too old to be Thor in Phase 4 and beyond. Yes, I know, I'm feeling old when I think of that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well, Idris Elba has said he and Hiddleston filmed a scene for AOU with Hemmsworth, so that's interesting. And I could definitely get on board with Loki lifting the hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Ray Kenobi Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Idris as Thor isn't something I'd considered. He'd be awesome, but his character is pretty one-note so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Human Torch Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I feel that if they are going to have someone other than Cap pick up the hammer, and it's not Hulk by pure brute force, then they should have Sif do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Human Torch Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm not watching new teases/trailers. I know enough from the No Strings trailer, anything more and I'll piece the film together in my head before seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I saw it but was underwhelmed only because the first trailer was so perfect. The movie will be awesome obviously. But just as a trailer this second one didn't live up to the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah, it was cool and all but didn't really give is much of anything new. Glad they haven't shown Vision at all yet, but I'd like more Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'm quickly approaching "I don't want to see anything else from this" status. I'm familiar with exactly 0% of the story from the comic-verse, but I feel like I've pieced everything about the movie together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
