Avengers thoughts: it's probably just me, but maybe the choice of Ultron as the villian turned people off?

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) May 4 '15, 11:35

You can sell a movie fighting a man, or Aliens, etc. But maybe a robot is a harder sell? I saw it opening weekend, and it was fine, but the villian did not get me excited going into the movie.

That said, Spader NAILED IT.

I'm not a comic geek. I do not know who Ultron is in the Avengers universe. Avengers vs Terminator does not interest me. I know Terminator always - Covington May 4, 11:54
Even though I'm sure it's a minute piece of the pie, not selling Black Widow action figures likely turned some people away. -- nm - Shaun May 4, 11:48 1
- I like how Ruffalo has been asking for BW stuff -- nm - Beaker May 4, 11:48
It should have been marketed as The Avengers vs. Terminator. - David May 4, 11:45 9
- I agree with this -- nm - groiny May 4, 12:10

  - I have no idea what any of these words mean in this order. -- nm - David May 4, 11:49 4
    - Neon Genesis Evangelion is a popular anime, Terminator Genisys is an upcoming film, and Avengers is currently in theatres. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 11:53 2
      - NGE is people in giant robots fighting giant creatures. Like Pacific Rim before GDT stole the idea. -- nm - Roger More May 4, 11:55 1
        
        Oh, that would bring new meaning to "Avengers Assemble" ... -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 12:10
    - I think it's pot smoking hippy west coast Canadian slang... - Shaun May 4, 11:52
  - *smacks the namers of the Terminator movie* ... that second e should be an i. -- nm - Beryllium May 4, 11:48
The only thing I would say they didn't do (and this might be my viewing of tv)...there wasn't a kick-ass commercial series. - Will Hunting May 4, 11:44 1
- Right. -- nm - David May 4, 11:45
Ultron's mouth annoyed me. nm -- nm - groiny May 4, 11:42
Spader was great, but I just don't think the plot around Ultron was concise or menacing enough. - Inigo May 4, 11:40 4
- Yes. Agreed on both counts -- nm - amoxy May 4, 11:43
- haven't seen it but spoiler question about content - Beaker May 4, 11:42 2
  - spoil - amoxy May 4, 11:42 1
    - ahh, merci -- nm - Beaker May 4, 11:44
Terminator is finished, then. -- nm - TWuG May 4, 11:36 1
- dammit, Triple H! -- nm - Tim May 4, 11:49
