Age of Ultron

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! AGE OF ULTRON TRAILER RELEASED. I REPEAT: THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
So, I may be a teensy bit excited about that.
But, come on. The movie doesn’t debut until May of 2015, so any little tidbits we may get along the way are precious. After the explosive first Avenger movie, Marvel fans are craving the next installment. IT LOOKS SO PROMISING.
I honestly love the idea of the Avengers just chilling at Stark Tower, getting to know one another and being besties all around. What could be better that Tony sassing Steve while Sam and Rhodey call out their BS, Natasha and Clint taking turns shooting various objects around the tower,  Bruce and Tony getting together and inventing crazy things, and Fury cussing them all out for their childish behavior when petty competitions sometimes cross the line. To be honest, I’d watch a movie solely about the Avengers domestic life…just because I love the characters. But anyway, the sneak peak released at Comicon this year hinted at the Avengers taking turns lifting Thor’s hammer…I’m so excited!
But, Tony’s inventions obviously turn sour. Or, more specifically, one in particular: Ultron. When he stumbled into the living room to the shock off all the Avengers, I literally got goose bumps. He creeps me the hell out; his line “Let me show you something beautiful” honestly made me shiver. The fact that he has “no strings attached” doesn’t help anything. It just makes him all the more deadly, and definitely an interesting adversary for the team.
 The trailer also raised a few (MANY) important questions: Why are the Hulk and Iron Man fighting? Where’s the Winter Soldier? How do the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver fit into the plot? Is there a romantic relationship between the Hulk and Black Widow? Why is Thor shirtless in every movie he’s in? Hopefully the movie answers all of these. The ominous view of the Avengers symbols shattered at the end of the trailer has me wondering what will happen. Hopefully it’s as epic as the trailer promises. Seven months is too long of a wait!

Just as a last little note on the subject, I will forever be bitter that Spider-man is not a part of the Avengers movies. In the comics, Peter views Captain America as an idol, and I’d love to see that dynamic played out in the movies. Not to mention Tony and Peter creating scientific things and trading snarky comments in the process. Yeah…Marvel missed a big opportunity there. It’d be the best thing ever. I just really enjoy Spider-man, is all.
