Age of Ultron Trailer Review

If you haven't seen the trailer yet.  Here you go.



You're welcome.

I prefer the extended version of the trailer 'though because of the beginning.


It seems to tell a little bit more of the story of what's going on.  I'm assuming Tony started tinkering and didn't know when to stop and that somehow made his suits / computer go power crazy and take on a life of their own.
Just for your information I do know my comics and yes I know Ultron was originally created by Dr. Pym, but when has any of the new Marvel movies stuck exactly with the original story?  Even the first Iron Man movie there were differences.  For one Stark was Iron Man for some time before coming up against Obadiah Stane / Iron Monger, Obadiah actually owned a different company before that and renamed Stark International as Stane International when he did, and when Iron Man did defeat Iron Monger Stane blew his own brains out.
But enough about that.  I just wanted to prove I knew what I was talking about.
Back to discussing the trailer...
THE HULK BUSTER SUIT!  *drool*
This is one of them that I wondered if they would ever get around to doing.  I also really hope it's in it for longer than two seconds like all the cameos of all Tony's suits in Iron Man 3.  I mean come on.  Each suit can only handle one punch and they burst into a million pieces, just because the guy was kinda hot?  And yet before that an older suit was able to withstand and actually absorbed a lightning blast from Thor?  Why didn't it fry everything?

Also when watching the extended trailer, in the beginning scene, something I realized: the only one who came close to lifting Thor's hammer.  I realized it wasn't because of Cap's super strength that he budged the hammer, strength has nothing to do with it, but remember why he was chosen to receive the super soldier serum?  It's because of his good, worthy, heart.  Just giving someone super powers is not a thing to be taken lightly.  You would want to chose well: someone who wouldn't abuse their new powers and use them for evil, but instead someone who would always use them for the good of others and to protect the innocent.  That's why Steve was able to move Mjölnir.

This geek moment brought to you by the Phantom.

Bonus:


And I have to say just the music playing in the background in context with Ultron, this made one of the creepiest Marvel trailers I have ever seen.

My Fandom Predictions are the BEST! Sorry but they are, and this proves it!

This weeks Doctor Who episode Dark Water.  Wow.  I knew I was good with my theories but wow.  I didn't realize I was that close!  I so called it!  But even then.  What a plot twist!  Good work Moffat, I really wasn't expecting that but now that I see how close I was and the whole name thing I don't see how I couldn't have seen that one coming.
For those of you who haven't been following my blog, back in September after the first two episodes had aired I had written a post on theories about who Missy was.  Read the post here.
When it got to this:




Dread filled my stomach and I just prayed: "Please don't let it be Susan.  It can't be Susan.  It can't be like this."
As much as I would love for Susan to return I don't think I could handle it if she had turned evil.

So here we are at the last of the season.  I can't wait to see what they're going to do for the finale and I'll be waiting very impatiently for season nine.  My little brother was a little bit worried and started to worry me too when he asked: "they're not going to kill off the Doctor again are they?"  I said no, but then I started thinking about it and thought: you know I have no idea.  It would be just like them to pull off a surprise death and they only had planned on having Capaldi be in just the one season and they've already got somebody new picked out.  While I hope that's not the case it is a possibility.  Christopher Eccleston only had one season.  Paul McGann only had the movie even though they had planned on that just being the introduction to a reboot of the series and he was going to take over as the Doctor for a while on TV.  Sadly this never happened but I'm glad it turned out just how it did.  Still I would have liked to see my first Doctor (8) in more than just the movie and short show.
