excellent-foppery replied to your post “Just saw Age of Ultron. I would like my 2.5 hours back please so I can...”
oh my god thank you! I have had to defend myself about how boring and bad it was to a friend who hasn't even seen it because 2 people said it was good. it was boring and everyone was OOC
Ugh, walking out of that theater I was trying so hard not to go into full on rant mode with my friend, because he thought it was average but for different reasons and isn’t nearly as invested in the characters as I am and just so much rage. EVERYONE WAS SO OOC but like especially Cap and Nat, like wtf was with the whole Bruce romance thing??? Also the whole bit at Clint’s “home” felt like some sort of weird fanfic tbh and I was ready to throw things. Ultron wasn’t even that great as a villain either, cause he was just a robot with Tony’s ideals and like the ability to fuck things up like Tony couldn’t so it was hard to hate him in anything but a “oh my god you’re such an obnoxious human being robot” way. And there was no actual plot? Everything was weird filler with some info thrown at you about the infinity stones and “look how much Tony and Steve don’t get along” for Infinity War and Civil War coming up.
I had a lot of feelings and none of them positive and I’m grumpy and will probably go rewatch Carmilla to clear my mind of the raging testosterone explosion that was that movie. Seriously. So much testosterone on that screen. It was all “I’m more manly than thou” and nothing else.
