In terms of entertainment time that can be exchanged for a ticket, "Avengers 2" is definitely the most worthy and conscientious super blockbuster in the past two years.
I have always felt that film critics or film talks should never be based solely on the standards of the writer's films or film festival films to distinguish what is good and what is bad. As long as the world still needs the entertainment of "listening to stories" (although the way movies tell stories is different), the art of entertainment will not and should not disappear. As the largest entertainment art in a hundred years, film has never been and cannot only be an author's film. It is necessary to face up to the place of entertainment film.
The responsibility of entertaining movies is different from the mission of a writer's film. In addition to responding to the responsibility of "Can this film entertain me?" fans are expected to take on "Who does this film entertain? Can you get entertainment?" This is the responsibility of not letting investors lose money. Whether or not these two responsibilities can be met is a better criterion for fair evaluation of a commercial entertainment film. It is not easy to make a conscientious commercial film. Having a lot of money is just the starting point. Finding a guide who can smell the sales formula is the key, and a mature film that can be shot regardless of any formula Industry is even more inevitable. Is it not difficult to capture the spleen and stomach of the audience with the greatest common divisor through layer after layer of commercial calculations? "Super blockbuster movies" like "Avengers" are even the leader of entertainment movies, and they are the masterpieces of commercial computing. Although not reconciled, today only the U.S. film industry can produce a conscientious super blockbuster, because only the U.S. has all the indispensable industrial chains for blockbuster filming (advanced computer special effects, huge studio groups, outstanding production staff And the insurance industry) and can be sold to the hinterland of the global market as soon as they are sold.
"Avengers 2: Age of Ultron" is definitely not easy to shoot. In 2012, "Avengers 1" achieved the third highest benefit in film history, and in 2013~2014, "Iron Man 3", "Captain America 2" or "Thor Thor 2" three films were laid out later , This new film assembled by the Avengers heroes on the screen for the second time is bound to bear the weight of the nine Marvel movies in the past nine years and satisfy the audience from the nine movies.
Under these layers of shackles, the results of "Avengers 2" finally released in April 2015 are very satisfying.
In the two-and-a-half-hour film, the story is inlaid with all the stimulating elements as much as possible, and they are arranged in a tight fit. The focus of action movies is scene scheduling and martial arts action. The opening of "Avengers 2" came to the top of the snow-capped mountains around the field, and used the emerging three hundred and sixty degrees of the digital age to fly around the field to give the audience a great deal of power. As for martial arts moves? The battles in the film accounted for 60% of the time. The car battles and the air battles were full of indoor battles. The nine-way heroes went from fighting each other to cooperating, and finally each showed their power. The melee fighting with the computer-made enemy Ultron Corps is certainly active, but the most enjoyable scene is the absolute first to push the Iron Man to punch Hulk from the high-rise buildings to the surface. That bombing was so enjoyable! The special abilities of the enemy and us are different, and the fights are more varied than those of individual movie series. I think the most fun thing is Thor's combined skills with Captain America. Thor hit the US team's shield with a hammer, and the thunder was scattered, and a single attack directly turned into a map skill, flying all surrounding enemies. Comparing the first confrontation between the mallet and the shield in the first episode, I can't help but smile. There are also many eye-catching points outside of the battle. The nine heroes are all handsome and beautiful, and you can choose between them. As expected; the exotic atmosphere of the film traveling between the United States, South Korea and non-urban cities has been a must-have perk for multinational movies since ancient times (but later Sukovia many Synthetic building, right?). All of this is to flatter the audience, and the success of flattering is the victory of the commercial calculations behind the blockbuster.
Seek benevolence and benevolence - If "Avengers 2" is only a single-episode movie, the evaluation should be so.
2. The
question is, do we really only spend one theater ticket to watch a movie? Actually not. Because the Avengers is a film and television series, and even a series of comics.
Whether you like it or not, the rules of the game set by Marvel and Disney Pictures, each hero’s personal movie is no longer independent, and the plot is slightly related and intertwined. Only after watching all the movies can the audience be full. Their closeness and karma, and finally through the "Avengers", the collective collection of stars, fills the genealogy of the entire heroic world, and the audience has truly completed a whole round of watching movies in the Marvel movie series. If the audience has ever spent money to watch "Iron Man 3", "Captain America 2" or "Thor Thor 2" in the theater, just to gather the worldview of Marvel heroes, or even go online to follow the S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series. It is equivalent to the price of four tickets, just to understand this time "Avengers 2", not to mention how much extra search time you have to spend to understand the allusions of the original comics.
Three years ago, "Avengers 1" was released. As the first closing of this series, the plot of the film continues after the four films "Iron Man", "Iron Man 2", "Captain America" and "Thor Thor", adding the characters of Black Widow and Hawkeye in the dragon suit. Attempt to fuse six heroes from the Quartet and four movies with unique styles. As a result, it succeeded. "Avengers 1" is satisfying and amazing, not only because of the full load of special effects used in the knife edge, but also because of the freshness of the encounter and cooperation process of the six heroes, but it also takes into account the effects of these heroes after the end of the personal film. Inner development.
In the convincing "Avengers 1", Thor's God Realm is the beginning of everything. The power of God Realm people makes the earth strangers. The villain Loki from the God Realm comes and threatens to finally let Aegis The bureau decided to recruit a team that surpassed the existing human imagination to fight against and interconnect with the human world (the United States) where the Iron Man and Captain America lived. The encounters between the characters are very interesting. The domineering Iron Man and the loyal American team have inherently different ideas, so the bickering is the most. Rocky took advantage of the runaway, and it was possible that everyone could understand his runaway; the least eye-catching Hawkeye, through the brainwashing of Rocky, gave him half a time to fight against the full Avengers and played what he did. For the spies’ ingenuity, they didn’t let these superhumans with superhuman powers grab the head. Sol and his brother’s unclear kinship issues are extended in this film, ending Thor’s original biography... "Avengers 1" does his best Combining the abrupt elements of gods, people, technology, magic, etc., which were originally genres of movies, completed a set of reasonable chaos. I was attracted by "Avengers 1" at the beginning, and then I started to get in touch with this series. It perfectly integrated the worldview of the five Marvel movies and responded to what the audience wanted to watch. With more ulterior motives.
"Avengers 2" is not. It has lost the perfect harmony of the first episode and is no longer close.
The plot mode of "Avengers 2" is the same as that of the first episode, based on "Avengers 1", "Iron Man 3", and "Captain America" 2" and "Thor 2" based on the four pieces: the remnants of the Hydra were expelled by the US team, Thor gave up the throne in exchange for the power to travel between the earth and the gods, and S.H.I.E.L.D. was destroyed. Loki's Scepter was in the last base of Hydra, so the Avengers regrouped and regained the Scepter by oneself, which became the beginning of the Snow Mountain War. There are more heroes controlled by the plot, and the world is bigger, but the characters of the characters are still stuck in the original appearance of "Avengers 1."
3.
Take Tony Stark, who plays the most important role first.
Tony is the most important hero in the two episodes of the league. In the first episode, he was the last throw to save New York. In this episode, he became quite embarrassed. He developed Ultron, so that the entire league and even the world have to wipe his ass for his troubles. But Tony shouldn't even think about building an automated defense system, because this kind of external defender's dream is exactly the path that Tony ultimately rejected in "Iron Man 3".
In "Iron Man 3", different from the extravagance and splendor of the previous two episodes, the focus of the whole film has turned to redefine Tony Stark, rather than the steel suit developer called Tony Stark. . After the New York War in "Avengers 1", Tony's fear of that huge threat disturbed him and began to secretly create one after another steel armor, trying to fill himself with this external decoration, but steel Pretending to be more and more, but not able to create the confidence to be a hero in the first place. It wasn't until the battle with the Extremis Weapon Corps that he lost the steel suit and fought and fled all the way, only to slowly learn to no longer rely on the power of the steel suit. What I like most about "Iron Man 3" is that Tony himself redefines his relationship with the identity of the Iron Man: the real "Superhero Iron Man" is not a lucky person who is lucky to put on a steel suit (otherwise it is with What's the difference between whiplash?), but Tony Stark himself; in the end, Tony even removed the steel core of his chest and threw it into the bottom of the sea, officially declaring that he did not need a tens of thousands of horsepower motor for himself Cheer up with his will, and he can also be an iron man for the job. As long as Tony Stark's self-confidence does not die, even without Superman equipment, the hero of Iron Man will still exist.
Obviously Min Tony learned such a precious lesson, why follow the "Avengers 2" story that happened after "Iron Man 3", Tony suddenly returned to the prototype, and after getting the scepter, he was eager to build a set of The largest piece of steel equipment ─ ─ Ultron Joint Defense System?
The direct reason Tony tried to create Ultron was the illusion given to him by the witch: "There will be an enemy and the alliance will be destroyed. This is all because Tony did not try his best." This illusion is exactly the same as the difficulties he faced in "Iron Man 3": the mysterious enemy is like the New York crisis, and the alliance is completely destroyed like the loss of New York. The strength of the enemy is only the surface of the problem. The essence of these two things is the same. It was Tony that was instigated by unknown fears.
Regardless of how Tony believed in this set of illusions for so long (didn't the US team and Thor immediately understand that this is a mental attack?), if Tony wants to fill the earth with more weapons, why doesn't he dare to do it? For a while, I confessed this illusion to the alliance partners and discussed the necessity of making new weapons together. Discuss whether the alliance needs Ultron or not? Tony revealed in "Iron Man 2" that he has absolute trust in relatives and friends (Little Pepper and Colonel Rhodes), although his mouth is cheap, and there is no imitation in steel clothes. "Iron Man 3" is further exchanging with Little Pepper. On the way to the position, I understand that sometimes my own wishful thinking is not really considerate, and it is more likely that it is not a proper decision, and it will put everyone in crisis. Tony Stark is in this episode, but only because of the arrogance of "The laymen in the league don’t understand what I’m doing. When I make it and show them the results, they will convince me?" Dr. Banner, who is a good science partner, secretly developed Ultron. Doesn't he treat the Avengers as partners? Or does he not take the safety of the alliance seriously? What's more, Tony should be very clear that even if Ultron is operating as scheduled, if the entire alliance is thus made to rely on the power of this system, how is it different from his inferiority that he indulged in making the Iron Legion back then?
The only reasonable explanation is that the power of the witch's charm has greatly reduced Tony's judgment and fell into the demon. But when will the influence of the witch be lifted is another question, because Tony secretly created the illusion for the second time, and the reason is very good, that is, after he came up with Ultron's Ragzi, it is necessary to resume his old karma at will. It will be stopped by unreasonable partners before I have to do it. These two Tonys obviously still have an understanding of the personality of everyone in the league, the only difference is the difference in Tony's own attitude. Tony in "Avengers 1" might do this secretly making weapons, because he was domineering at the time, and he believed in the character of fighters, but I can hardly believe that I was in "Iron Man 3" with my friends. Tony would still think this way after struggling together, and would have such a domineering conceit.
(Ps. Since some netizens are controversial about this, I went to see the movie to confirm my thoughts, and I will mention it again at the end)
4. There
are two remaining heroes with personal movie sequels: Captain America and Thor Saul, second only to Tony Stark in his role, appears to be a bit divorced under the pressure of taking the place of the set shop.
Captain America seldom played his role as a commander in this episode, because everyone had a tacit understanding of each other, making him only one of the reliable partners of the Avengers rather than the role of the captain. In the illusion that he imagined after being attacked by a witch, he regretted that he missed his old friends and lovers. This is the emotional line that runs through the Captain America personal series, but it may also be a foreshadowing for the next episode. Leave it alone.
Compared to this, it is a pity that Captain America did not mention the reflection of the Avengers organization. In "Captain America 2", Captain America had conflicts with the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization to which it belonged. The U.S. team believed in the freedom and equality of the Declaration of Independence of the United States. The whole world exercised sanctions management) and fell out. Captain America is proud of the United States, but does not claim that American soldiers rushed into other countries in the name of justice. The arrogance of American imperialism that smashed the enemy and smashed the town for the locals to take care of is the performance that the United States should have. This is also the performance of "Captain America 2". One of the core: the contingency or degeneration of patriotism. I’m very curious about the fact that the Avengers’ move into and out of Asia, Africa and the United States in the entire film, in the Third World and South Korea’s ups and downs, is the same as S.H.I. It's a bit of a joke, just because Hulk threw those snow soldiers so far at the beginning, they should be thrown to death...) What are your thoughts or explanations different from SHIELD? As a result, the US team did not worry that the Avengers might become a replica of the US in this film, nor did it continue the sense of loneliness that he has repeatedly disappeared in "Captain America 2", which is more monotonous and regrettable.
Thor's power has always been a hot potato in this series. The Protoss is too strong, and humans can’t compete with the mana and weapons of these gods. Although Loki in "Avengers 1" was beaten in the face by many heroes, it was essentially because of his arrogant personality and different from Thor. Being good at war, really speaking of strength, he can easily defeat most people. Thor is stronger and more powerful, and his enemies in the personal series "Thor Thor 2" are not general, destroying time and space at every turn. I do not expect him to exert such a powerful force in "Avengers 2", because it will destroy the overall hero's perception, but in this episode, he is marginalized by a rough exit to find rescue, not only the number of times he uses the power of thunder and lightning is greatly reduced. , Became the No. 2 hitman, and didn't improve until he re-appeared later. He and Tony who can fly can remedy some refugees who have fallen from the sky, as well as the awakening of the vision with the power of Thor (but how does he know that there is a vision in the coffin...?) are still extremely powerful.
His personal story in "Avengers 2" is different from that of the first episode, and just like the US team, it only brings the foreshadowing of the illusion. In his horror drama illusion, he entered the underworld and saw people who died after the war in the gods demanded his life. He didn't know whether it was true or false, but this was the thing that worries him the most as a general and a former king. His benevolence as a benevolent general's woman. It's a pity that these things will be placed in the later "Thor Thor 2", so in the second half of this episode, he continued to fight like nothing, which looks inferior to the emotional pull with Rocky in the first episode.
5. The
remaining heroes without personal movies, there are old characters (Hulk and Black Widow and Hawkeye) and new characters (Quick Silver and Witch and Vision), a total of six people.
Hulk has always been an avenger that interests me. Hulk strictly speaking has had a personal movie, and there are two more, namely "Hulk" (Hulk) in 2003 and "Invincible Hao" in 2008 "The Incredible Hulk" (The Incredible Hulk). Both films failed at the box office and Marvel finally decided not to connect with it, and continued to make "The Avengers" now the Hulk No. 3. The biggest difference between these three Hulks is not in the actors, but in the different ways of interpreting "anger": the 2003 version of "Hulk" was the most irritated, and Director Ang Lee completely placed his image in "Pushing Hands" on Hulk In this hero, Dr. Banner was angry because of his love and hatred for his father, and because he couldn't control his anger, he became the public enemy of the whole people. Such a delicate patriarchal debate is inherently not easy to be accepted by ordinary fans who expect superhero fights. It is inevitable that the typical market strategy mistakes will not be accepted by the fans. The continuation of the 2008 edition of "The Incredible Hulk" (The Incredible Hulk) changed the reason for anger to a numerical heartbeat. When Banner's heartbeat is fast, he will transform—this reason is slightly more physical. In "Avengers 1", in order not to repeat the mistakes of the previous two films, Banner, who joined the alliance, would only be angry and out of control for actions that hurt him. The New York war at the end also shocked a similar intelligent performance. The green monster listened obediently to the US team's command to attack the monsters, abruptly, but considering that this is a new setting, the audience has room for slowing down.
By the time "Avengers 2", I can no longer find the reason for Hulk's anger. Banner’s anger has become a Maltese-style performance that comes whenever you want, and soothes if you want to be soothed. It doesn’t need much reason. As long as you want to fight, you can let yourself be transformed, and you can retain your sense during the transformation. Be careful not to kill people (note that the opening US news reported zero casualties) while driving the helicopter; he is no longer a wild beast, just another eagle eye that will grow bigger. It's a pity that Hulk's biggest feature is that his character's manifestation of the drastic changes in human nature should not be so easily obliterated. However, due to the difficulty of the series setting, obviously the Hulk of the Avengers will continue to be able to control it freely.
6.
The performance of Black Widow and Hawkeye still maintains the level of the first episode. The three new Avengers added to this episode: the Quicksilver Witch Brother and Sister and the Vision, all have the flaws of insufficient drama.
Black Widow’s sleek skill has already emerged in the intensity-biased "Captain America 2", and in "Avengers 2" it turned to assist other heroes. Through the revelation of the cruel past, the sympathy between her and Banner in this episode is really persuasive (one Wandering Tianya evades himself, the other Wandering Tianya evades the past). Hawkeye's performance was stable. In the middle of the game, he said to his wife, "They don't seem to need me?" Xiao Xiao teased his position as a mortal among a group of strange powers, which was very interesting.
The siblings of Quicksilver and the Witch made their debut in the first half of the movie. They were portrayed in the first half of the movie to be different from the physical destruction of the Avengers. People on the rails (but still slower than the X-Men!); witches are versatile, can read memories and manipulate spirits, and can even get things out of the air when necessary. It's just that these two special abilities were simplified in the final battle, and the pure physical strength was enhanced (fast silver sprinting at the beginning can only stun the US team, but it can smash Ultron's steel armor if you walk in the back. , These villains are so crisp...) The brothers and sisters hate Tony Enterprise's arms that broke their family. They hate Tony Stark, which is full of tension. It's a pity that in the second half of the movie, in order to streamline the camp, Kuaiyin and the witch surrendered to the Avengers in fear of the pressure of human extinction. There was no interaction with Tony, which is a pity.
To put it more directly, it is really not good for the brother and sister to join the Avengers. The setting of the siblings cannot withstand scrutiny, let alone heroes. Think about it, the Kuaiyin brothers and sisters participated in the human experiment because they hated Tony, so after they collapsed at the Hydra base, where did they go? What to do They found a roundabout way of self-destruction to get the enemy Tony, and they didn't want to kill the others in the Avengers; after they fell out with Ultron, they directly switched to the Avengers. What about the hatred of Tony? How can Tony’s self-destruction be explained? Does the witch want to solve it just in case? The second episode didn't mention it at all. A pair of people who watched the Korean doctor be killed by Ultron (probably) and just wanted to escape for the first time, and watched the refugees in the Sky City running around and just wanted to save their superpowers. I think they are qualified to experience the greater the responsibility with their own hands. The heavier a few real heroes are named together, it is naive.
As the last newcomer to appear on the stage, the new hero Vision, even if it shows the ability to fly, fight and spray, still hides it deeply. Obviously, it retains its strength to be the foreshadowing of the next Infinite Gloves chapter. The relationship between him and Ultron is actually something to be explored. Both of them are semi-artificial lives under the influence of divine power. Ultron came to the conclusion that human beings need to evolve (actually destroy) from the paranoia of the information age. In conclusion, Vision chose the same camp as the creatures on the commanding heights of the universe. One sought destruction, one survived, but unfortunately the two ended up communicating with the strange existence of the same origin with only a few sentences in the end.
7. To
put it bluntly, the characters in "Avengers 2" all come from the old look of "Avengers 1," and they have not been in line with their growth in "Iron Man 3", "Captain America 2" and "Thor Thor 2" . Tony is still domineering, and the reason why the US team and Thor do not play much is because of this. And the mistake that a sequel movie shouldn't make is negligence in the coherence of the story.
As an entertainment movie, "Avengers 2" has a very high degree of completion, and it is still good enough to watch. However, as a unified work of ten films in the Marvel series, it lacks the intentions of "Avengers 1" in the characters and personal films, and does not tightly combine the plot and the character of the characters.
Of course, to be fair, "Avengers 2" is much harder to shoot than the first episode of "Avengers 1," and should not be compared easily. It’s already difficult to shoot just the heroes from six to ten, and the series from four to ten films; "Iron Man 3", "Captain America 2" and "Thor Thor 2" were deliberately added by the director. The elements of the genre film make the worldview of each hero have a subtle taste, and it makes the integration even more difficult. The world of the Iron Man is like the appearance of Doctor Strange and Robot Dolls. It is a bit daily but not daily. As long as chemists work hard, they can develop flame-free flesh; however, the world of Captain America has become an impossible task. In the atmosphere of this kind of spy film, the captain is just a human with a little bit of strength and reaction, and he must use the fighting skills and partners of restricted physical laws in the rain of bullets to break through the siege; Thor, Thor, got rid of the Shakespeare Theater in the first episode ( This is also the place most criticized by most people) It directly becomes a stellar war between Super Saiyans and Super Saiyans. These changes make individual movies interesting, but also make it difficult for integrators.
"Avengers 2" flattened these differences as much as possible in the most important fighting scenes, so both the enemy and us suddenly became rubber men, resistant to fights, and can be beaten by Ultron robots and only get dirty clothes. Without bleeding or sweating, even the black widow closest to humans can be hit by a stick to the big tree trunk eight feet away and then jump back to the original place. The balance was barely completed. In this film, this is of course a forgivable compromise, because Marvel's own comics have been accustomed to this kind of fine-tuning of combat intensity for many years. However, it is a pity that he is unable to coherently in the role.
8. Summary No
matter what, I still like this series. If you are willing to accept the fact that the film has become a collection, this kind of work is not without a sense of interaction. Why should we watch the sequel of a superhero movie instead of just finding a large-scale single-episode movie to pass the time? Because we are looking forward to: nine heroes, nine branches, nine personalities, under each other, will spark more than nine times of sparks-this is the manifestation of the charm of the characters we look forward to in the Marvel series all the way, and The big confluence carnival that integrates these peculiar backgrounds, instead of a pile of fragmentary details, only Nerd fanatics will be keen on symbolic piles.
Of course, the "Avengers" series will not stop shooting. Before it was released in North America, the official announced two personal Avengers series from 2015 to 2019, as well as the director candidates for "Avengers 3", and the director Russell Brothers who directed the US team ( Anthony Russo) was selected on the screen. Anyway, it’s just the next time, if it’s not a two-and-a-half-hour frying in a big pot, it’s a work that really knows what we like heroes and makes these heroes brighter and more flammable. I really hope so.
===============
(Added after the second brush on 04, 30)
Some things puzzled me, so I took the time to read it again and confirmed some new ideas.
a.
Regarding Tony Stark’s mentality, many netizens are dissatisfied with my claim that Tony’s character has changed drastically. They think that Tony developed Ultron to face the New York battle with him in "Iron Man 3". It has a different mentality from the insecurity of the Extremis Virus, instead of repeating the problem I said. I still disagree with this at first, because I think the real crux is not that he developed Ultron (Ultron is only part of many of his plans), but that he "concealed" it. He thought he should not confess this like other alliance members. The plan is only because this will be hindered by their moral controversy, but this not only makes me feel that he has forgotten the tragedy that he almost harmed others in "Iron Man 3" because he did not disclose his movements, but also was immediately by other leagues. Members slapped their faces--The reason Captain America scolded him was not what he thought was a moral controversy, but "this plan sounds no different from (previous) S.H.I.E.L.D. They were noncommittal about the plan, and it was not as good as Tony had imagined.
But I think this discussion is not important now. Why? Because I watched it again, I found out that the director Joss wanted to directly throw Tony's personality change directly to the witch's charm.
After the opening game, Tony walked into the basement to take the scepter and was infiltrated by the witch. He saw the flying monster lock the earth and began to fear, and feared the entire episode. Ultron met with the witch for the first time and asked why Tony was allowed to hold the scepter. The witch's answer was "I see Tony's fear. As long as he continues to let him go, he will destroy himself." Let the brothers see for a moment. The enemy has to use such a circuitous means to avenge this (seriously, if I die at the age of ten and the whole family almost die in Wadi Dui, I will hate the murderer so much that he accepts the transformation of the human body. It's really hard to stab him in the back-especially when my brother has a super high speed!) The most interesting thing about this plot is that the spellcasting of witches is indeed in the movie, and the Avengers except Hawkeye are all caught by this trick. Awakening fear affects the mind and is temporarily unable to fight. Most of these fears are not external, but inner doubts turned into under the guise of illusions. The American team fears the ratio of the past and the present. Sol fears the tragic death of his comrades. The Black Widow is purely recalling the most unbearable memories. Hulk is unknown (but he has enough fear points. No wonder he sees the Witch Club Want to strangle her).
So in essence, I think this can be directly understood as: the insecurities in "Iron Man 3" that has been overcome by Tony himself is now reappearing through mind control.
Comparing with Thor's self-exploration of running to find a doctor to play in the water (by mistake), it can be seen that Tony's awakening by the witch has a great influence. In the whole film twice in a row, Tony was scolded by members of the alliance for inventing Ultron. Tony's reaction was hysterical and afraid of safety: there is a strong enemy on the earth! You didn't think about it anymore! So I have to think for you! So you are not qualified to scold me! It wasn't until Director Fury met Tony face to face in the barn that he also asked him to turn off Ultron, that Fury hit the nail on the head and broke the fact that the witch was affecting Tony's mind, but Tony didn't deny or admit it.
Since Tony's fear was awakened by superpowers, I think there is nothing to talk about about these human nature assumptions. Regardless of whether Tony originally planned Ultron for his so-called "our duty is to question" (Who are we? It is unknown in the play, it can be a group of scientists or the entire human race) for the record, or self-defense, the answer is Nothing matters anymore. Regardless of what Tony was thinking, now he is controlled by a witch at the beginning of the film. It is difficult for us to know whether he has changed.
Of course, I think this character design is not clever. Tony did not have a concrete journey out of fear like other Avengers. The American team slept at Hawkeye's house for one night and seemed to be fine (but to bury the dark side). Thor found evidence to reassure himself through a confirmation trip. The Black Widow confessed to Banner, while Hulk was in Africa with the big tin can. Dancing (laughs) resolved. Only Tony didn't. Tony never solved this fear. He still complained about the arrival of a powerful alien. Fury did not persuade him, and he insisted on recreating the illusion. The US team's doubts about him are also valid. How does Tony know that he Wouldn't it be messed up again? It's just that the movie allowed Thor into chaos, saying that the mysterious gems do exist, Tony's move was right, and Tony's situation was resolved in this way. But don't forget that Tony doesn't know the mysterious gems at all. In other words, he recreated the illusion from himself rather than from his understanding of the existence of gems. The witch was very KY and told the captain in South Korea, "Ultron can't figure out the difference between destroying the world and saving the world, I learned from his old son Tony!" If this is paving the way for the civil war, then I will take it. This mind control The stem is really far away...I don't think it is.
b.
These will not change my view of the whole film. I still think this film has a fatal roughness in the fusion of characters.
Compared with the first episode of Li Loki's use of inciting people to achieve a division of wits, the Avengers second episode of this kind of charm to throw all the characters' motives to the witch is not beautiful, very rough, that's it. . Just like Hulk’s own movie, it’s also Hulk’s anger. Li Anban’s Hulk spends a very long time to lay out the rationality of motivation every time he is angry. The invincible Hulk is changed to the number of heartbeats every other edition. The difference between the two lies in the screenwriter’s expectations for the interpretation of the character’s plot and character changes.
The same is true for the Avengers. In the first episode, the reasons for each character to fight and cooperate are very strong and emotional. In the second episode, there are such far-fetched developments from time to time. Let’s make an analogy: The Kuaiyin brothers and sisters participated in human experiments because they hated Tony. Then where did they go after they collapsed at the Hydra base? What to do They found a roundabout way of self-destruction to get the enemy Tony, and they didn't want to kill the others in the Avengers; after they fell out with Ultron, they directly switched to the Avengers. What about the hatred of Tony? How can Tony’s self-destruction be explained? Does the witch want to solve it just in case? The second episode didn't mention it at all.
This rough arrangement of front and back can be seen everywhere. As a work that already has nine sequels, and there will be more and more works, this way of ignoring the previous works is undoubtedly a lack of respect for the series, but also for at least wanting to follow the whole series.
