Ultron mini-post

May 07, 2015 14:13

I was going to make a long thinky post about Ultron, which I mostly liked - a lot! Well, except for them cutting out Tom Hiddleston’s Loki cameo - and I had to LOL that 15 out of 20 Ultron articles on an aggregate site pointed that fact out ( Read more... )

Your geek game is on point. Do you know how many people think laura is a 2 dimensional mary-sue throwaway?

I'm hoping for extended footage too but overall I had a good time with this movie, James Spader did a great job as ultron and Vision was amazing.

I'm not in the least bit surprised that a lot of people think Laura is a Mary Sue throwaway. But with all the reboots, retconns, AUs, what if stories, etc., etc, that have gone on in 70 years of comic book canon, I would have been shocked if they *hadn't* taken a character from the comicsverse for this role.

Spader was awesome! I love the way they put Stark's personality into Ultron and the way Spader interpreted it. And I was *very* satisfied with how they presented Vision. I was about to get very upset over JARVIS's death, but now that he's been reincarnated (partially?) into something new I find I really like this turn of events.

Hehe. I haven't read as much fic but suspected something similar. I didn't know there was a Loki cameo! I hope it ends up on DVD (and then, youtube) or something. I miss Loki something fierce.

With you on Vision and Jarvis' death. I really liked the Clint background, too, and the Bruce-Natasha thing, although it was unexpected.

Oops, I thought I’d answered this. Several months back Idris Elba let slip he and Tom Hiddleston had filmed a scene together for Ultron, and for awhile Hiddleston was listed as “Loki” in the IMDB listing for Ultron. Here’s two links which explain why the scene was deleted ( ... )

(Sorry about the lateness of my reply, I was on holiday.)

That's so interesting about the deleted scenes. I agree, it would have been too much for one film. The screenrant link contains the most delicious images of Loki, though. Mhmm... Now I am really looking forward to Thor: Ragnarok again. The title implies many good things and I have been intrigued by the ending of Thor: Dark World. Too bad it's such a long time to go yet.

Oooh, new Loki stories by you? That sounds fantastic. :D
