    If that isn't foreshadowing I don't know what is.

    This one?

    And yeah, some pretty heavy foreshadowing there. Something I saw someone point out was that in the scene near the end, the hand above the broken shield looks more like Thor's than Cap's. Shield broken, Thor down, Cap picks up the hammer seems like a good bet.

    It's also possible he could wield it as a last ditch shot at Thanos, but that seems a little long for a gag introduced in this movie, doubt the average moviegoer will even remember the scene.

    Ultron as hacked-Jarvis is for the movies only. In the comicbooks Ultron was created by Hank Pym (Ant-Man, sometime known as Yellowjacket), before it developed sentience and overwrote its programming. It develops an Oedipal hatred for its "father" Hank, and a corresponding obsession for its mother, Hank's love, Janet van Dyne (Wasp) and sets out to destroy/enslave everyone as it believes the humanity to be flawed.

    To be more on point, Ultron's mind was based off of scans of Pym's mind. Since Pym turned out to not be the most stable person on the planet, using him as a base for Ultron and then Ultron going nuts makes even more sense.

    Hmm. I wonder if there are any other unstable, mentally unsound super-genius's to base Ultron's mind off of in the MCU /s

    I'm incredibly glad that they're not revealing anything.
    On the other hand, this teasing is making me anticipate May 1st even more. The question lingering in my mind after the trailer was "who was that african woman?"
    Seriously, I wonder what her role is.

    Are you talking about the woman in the suit of some sort shortly after 30 seconds?

    She's probably Wakandan/a Dora Milaje.

    Talking about the woman stripping in front of the pool, yeah.

    Had to look those up, but that could seems pretty damn probable. Would be a cool way to introduce the Black Panther.

    Alright. Seen it. Not gonna spoil yet except to say that it wasn't any better than the first. Not gonna claim it was worse, either, but I guess the initial awesomeness of the whole bunch of them, well, assembled, has worn off.

    Expected more funny lines. Hawkeye had one that was fucking amazing, though.

    I appreciate this amount of feedback. Glad to know it's not a flop, good to know that Hawkeye at least got one good line, etc. Thanks.

    Been looking forward to it and slightly concerned it wouldn't work as well, though I held out hope because Whedon is good at shit. Now I can look forward to it with less hesitation. :D

    Only one question. Should I wait until after credits?

    I think the first one was funnier because of Loki, Ultron just caries a whole lot of dread. The voice acting is superb.

    I agree on you about the initial awesomeness though, for me Avengers movies feel more about the Villain since there's so many Avengers and not a whole lot of screen time to go around. Still, overall it feel like its building up to phase 3......

    Just my 2 cents

    Just came back from it. Amazing stuff, wish it could've been like six hours longer, but that's my usual problem with movies these days. Hell, I'd watch this group talk about their taxes for ten hours, so. Cap 2's probably still my favourite Phase Two film and overall MCU film, but damn son, still a great event watch.

    I'll say this, if you all want a bit of a tease: I never expected to come out of the cinema such a big Hawkeye fan. I totally expected to swoon over Scarlet Witch, though. Heart eyes, motherfuckers.
