Avengers 2: Age of Ultron
1. No need to watch IMAX 3D
The IMAX 3D version of "Avengers: Age of Ultron" is post-harvest-to-3D (DMR) technology, not native 3D footage, so "maybe" no It is necessary to see the IMAX 3D version, but after all, everyone has different needs for the sound school of the movie picture, this is just for reference. If it is my suggestion, for those who live in Taipei, I strongly recommend Ximen Guobin Theater Giant Screen Hall, in89 First Class Coach Hall, Roxy Studios X4K Cinema, especially those with Dolby Atmos. Appreciate the movie, and you can have a real movie viewing experience.
2. Scarlett Johansson's stand-in!
Since Scarlett Johansson happened to be pregnant during the pre-shooting of "Avengers: Age of Ultron", the crew recruited several stuntmen with similar body shapes and hairstyles to allow the filming to be completed smoothly. Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, once made a joke about the double look, he said: "I would say hello before we start filming, and then start casual chatting, and the result is, oh, It's so embarrassing, I didn't even recognize them as stand-ins at first glance...", when you watch the movie, you might as well guess which pictures are completed by stand-ins.
3. The third stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe The
second stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe process will come to an end after "Ant-Man", and there will be more unknown heroes in the third stage, and everything will be tight. With the evil layout of the villain "Thanos", the above picture shows the currently known third-stage movie release process. It can only be said that the scale of the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is really beyond imagination!
4. No hidden easter eggs at the end of the credits
Although director Joss Whedon has long revealed to the media that he really doesn't have much energy to think about other interesting things. After leaving the studio every day, he goes home to write and change the script, so he won't hide anything at the end of this episode. Easter eggs (not even in the movie deliberately), but there is still a certain Easter egg suspected of appearing on the Internet, but it was soon officially confirmed to be fake, so, after watching Thanos in this episode, at the end of the film After the cameo, you can leave the venue, and you don’t have to wait for all the subtitles to finish, because there are no hidden easter eggs, no hidden easter eggs, no hidden easter eggs, it’s very important, so I say it three times!
5.
The foreshadowing of the superpower twins in the "Captain America 2: The Cold Warrior" Easter Egg, the imprisoned superpower twins are "Quicksilver" and "Scarlet Witch".
Quicksilver, whose real name is Pietro Maximoff (Pietro Maximoff), has the ability to move at supersonic speed. In the original comic book, he circled the earth half a circle in 92 seconds, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson .
Scarlet Witch, whose real name is Wanda Maximoff, is played by Elizabeth Olsen. The main ability is to control the mind and distort reality. She and her younger brother were originally the children of "Magneto" in the original comic book, but since the end of 2014, the plot trend has begun to overturn the long-standing setting. They may have been created by ultimate evolution, not "mutants". The move may be for business reasons.
In fact, their setting in this episode of Avengers may also have roots in Tony Scott's (Iron Man) past. However, since 21st Century Fox (21st Century Fox) holds the copyright of "X-Men", they have absolutely nothing to do with the version of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" in this episode, so I will not introduce them in more detail. They only know that they were born in war-torn countries in Eastern Europe (fiction by Marvel), and their personalities are cynical. In addition, the movie will not mention any words such as "mutants" and "Magneto", but the ability settings are basically the same as the original.
6. Hydra
The battle at the prologue of the movie is actually a continuation of the development after the easter egg of "Captain America 2: The Cold Warrior", and is related to the ruler of the Hydra organization "Baron von Strucker".
7. Ultron is a brand new original story.
If you are a senior Marvel comics fan, you will definitely find that the super villain "Ultron" has a completely different setting in the movie from the original comic book. The comic version of Ultron is a super artificial intelligence created by "Ant-Man" Hank Pym according to the prototype of his own brain. However, the movie version of Ultron is a high-tech artificial intelligence robot created by Tony Scott (with the assistance of Bruce Banner), which was originally only used to maintain the peace and order of the world. In the end, Ultron evolved into energy It has self-thinking and has multiple types of stages (Ultron Mark1>Sentry Ultron>Ultron Prime>Ultimate Ultron), and believes that the chaos and disorder of the world is caused by human existence, and only by destroying human beings can the problem be solved. It was Tony Scott (Iron Man) who started the war, and the responsibility belongs. Well, it's his fault as a whole.
8. The importance of eagle eyes!
Jeremy Renner complained about his role in "Hawkeye", he didn't think he was a big role in the first Avengers episode, not a superhero at all, because At the beginning, Hawkeye was bewitched by Loki and manipulated into a puppet. He did not perform until the climax of the war in the latter part of the movie, and he felt like he was frozen. However, in this episode, Hawkeye seems to be thawed. There is a certain plot in the movie that reveals the background source of his secret identity. The scene is heavy and plays a considerable role in the whole movie! (Unfortunately, Marvel Studios has not yet seen any plans to arrange an independent film for him)
9. Civil War (Civil War)
In addition to being the first to learn about the development of "Black Panther" from this Avengers movie, the audience can also find the foreshadowing of the "Civil War" deliberately planted by the director, such as: Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Tony The conflict between Stark (Iron Man) split. Coupled with Sony Pictures' decision to let Spider-Man return to the arms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Captain America: Civil War, as the vanguard of the third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is just as logical to develop. (It is rumored that Spider-Man will officially return to the embrace of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in "Captain America 3")
10. The Vision (The Vision)
is a new superhero character "Vision The Vision" dubbed by Paul Bettany ", which is the evolution of Tony Scott's artificial intelligence butler "Jarvis JARVIS", officially moving from virtual to "physical". The movie version of Vision is very different from the original comic book. Basically, Vision will also play an indispensable key role in the third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) development process! (He owns one of the Infinity Stones?!)
In order to defeat his father Ant-Man and his father's partner the Avengers, Ultron transformed the first-generation Human Torch, the hero of World War II, into a biochemical man, and used the brainwaves of the villain Magic Man Activate it and name it Vision. Then Ultron sent Vision to fight against the Avengers many times. At first, Vision was just as emotionless as a normal robot and would only obey orders, but in the days of dealing with the Avengers, his hidden humanity made him betray Ultron. , joined the Avengers.
The vision in the movie is not only an upgraded version of Tony's artificial intelligence butler, JARVIS, but the body is also created by ubiquitous alloys and the tissue generation technology of "Dr. Zhao Hailun", and it can also fly.
Plus, he can easily lift Thor's Thor's Hammer.
Only those who are recognized can lift it up, why does Vision hold it up?
There are many guesses...such as:
1. Vision is pure in mind.
2. Vision has a mind gem on its head. The power of the gem is greater than Odin's magic, so it is qualified to pick it up.
3. Vision is not a natural life, so he can be picked up directly like elevators, desks, etc.
4. This is magic, and it's enough that Thor's Hammer approves it.
In any case, the illusion in the movie is really too strong and too OP. If it weren't for this role, Ultron would not have been weakened so badly.
If the power of the gem is greater than Odin's magic, so it is qualified to take it, then if Ultron succeeds in changing the body with the mind gem... Tony and Steve are still fighting over whether to let the vision be born, Later, it was because Thor saw that he needed Vision's help in the "bath", so he rushed over to help him recharge, and Vision was born.
11. Infinity Stone
Since the completion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) planning, its superhero movies have successively moved the subplots towards the "Infinity Stone", including Loki in "Avengers" The blue gemstone inlaid with the Chitauri scepter in his hand; the red gemstone (Aether) in Thor: The Dark World; the purple gemstone in "Interstellar". (Of course, some details about the gem will be mentioned in this Avengers movie, and Thanos will also make a cameo appearance at the end of the film. In short, it is to give clues to the development of "Avengers 3: Infinity War" )
and these gems all point to something related to the cosmic thunderbolt invincible demon king "Thanos Thanos", the artifact owned by Thanos - "Infinity Gauntlet" (the first episode of Thor. There has been a scene) enough to make him have the supreme divine power, no one can match it! It was originally set that Thanos should play the central villain in the Avengers sequel, but director Joss Whedon decided to save him for the third episode of "Avengers: Infinity War" to talk to fans. Introduction, because the director said that such a powerful super villain is really like a god, it is worth leaving it to the end, giving him enough space and time to develop, in short, just remember all the evil, the mastermind behind it is Him Thanos!
12. Vibranium
Also known as "Shock Absorbing Metal" and "Nebrin", it is a fictional special metal in the Marvel world, and it is also the main raw material for Captain America's circular shield. The origin is "Uganda", which is why this episode of Avengers The main reason why a certain scene in the movie will be taken there, and the metal armor of "Ultron" itself is also composed of "pan-alloy".
Pan-alloy is almost the hardest metal in the Marvel world at present (even harder than the Adamant metal of Wolverine's claws), which can absorb all shock energy, the more energy absorbed, the denser the molecules, and of course the harder !
13. Wakanda!
In the middle of the movie, for the development of an important storyline, the heroes will be pulled to a certain country in East Africa, "Wakanda", which is set in the third stage of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The hometown of "Black Panther" is also the origin of the special rare metal "Vibranium". Even though Black Panther doesn't appear in the movie, it can be expected that his importance will play out in the future.
"Black Panther", whose real name is T'Challa, is the king of Waganda. After eating heart-shaped herbs, he can gain superhuman speed, physical strength, acuity, and resistance to magic Ability, he is also an excellent hunter and scientist. Black Panther will appear in the official Captain America: Civil War, and an independent film will be released in November 2017, starring Chadwick Boseman.
14. The "feeling" between Black Widow and the Hulk? !
Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) has had an affair with almost all the superheroes of the Avengers, including Tony Scott (Iron Man), Hawkeye and Captain America. I believe that as long as Marvel movie fans are Clearly, at the very beginning of this Avengers movie (also in the trailer), Black Widow is able to soothe and stabilize Hulk's uncontrollable emotions, which may indicate an unusual relationship between the two of them. Is Wei also starting to play the "Beauty and the Beast" drama? !
15. Companions!
In the previous "Captain America 2: Cold Soldier", you can see the debut of "Falcon", working with Captain America to fight against evil forces; "War Machine/Iron Patriot War Machine" in "Iron Man 3" also Work seamlessly with Iron Man. These two indispensable right-hand men will appear in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and will be placed in an important position, or it can be speculated that these two characters may have other developments in future Marvel movie plans. possibility!
16. Iron Legion
In "Avengers: Age of Ultron" we can see Tony Stark build an "Iron Legion" to help the Avengers and hand over control to "Javie" s".
At the end of "Iron Man 3", Tony blew up all the steel suits as fireworks because he didn't want to worry Little Pepper (still jealous), but that didn't mean he didn't want to be Iron Man, he was still one of the Avengers They also want to protect the earth from being invaded by aliens.
It's just that he can do everything himself, with Tony's current remote control technology, and with the help of the super artificial AI "Jarvis", as long as he gives instructions.
Not everyone likes the Avengers. For example, when the Iron Legion helped evacuate the people at the beginning, someone threw an acidic liquid on one of them, causing it to disfigure, and then Ultron just used it as the initial form.
17. The life experience of twins
In the setting of the comics, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are a pair of twin daughters of Magneto. They once joined Magneto's Mutant Brotherhood, but they had great resistance to what Magneto did. Later, they turned their backs on evil, joined the Avengers, and became Captain America's right-hand man to fight evil together.
Quicksilver has the ability to move quickly, and the special ability of Scarlet Witch is to change the probability of things happening (the movie changes to control the mind and move matter.
About the Scarlet Witch-, her ability in the comics is Chaos Magic, and her ability is to control the probability and Reality distorted, very scary character.
In the comic event, Wanda's first mental breakdown directly disbanded the Avengers, and Ant-Man, Hawkeye and Vision all died in this event; the second mental breakdown turned the whole world into a utopia , which directly reduced the population of mutants from a million to 182.
Although she is not so scary in the movie, her potential has not been fully realized. When Quicksilver was "suspected" of death, her ability exploded and the Ultron soldiers were wiped out in an instant, so I think the strongest person in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" should be her except for Vision.
But the embarrassing thing is that although the movie copyrights of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are jointly owned by Fox and Marvel, since the movie copyrights of the mutant series (mainly related to Magneto) have been sold to Fox, the relevant plot is bound to be to make a change.
In the movie version, they turned into orphans whose place of residence was attacked by weapons, causing their parents to die tragically, so they volunteered to join the baron's human experiment, using Loki's scepter experiment, turning them into special abilities" ".
Because they saw "" written on the weapon, they blamed Stark for the tragic death of their parents.
This echoes the first episode of "Iron Man". Obi made a double deal without telling Tony. On the one hand, he made weapons to protect local soldiers, and on the other hand, he sold weapons to terrorists. Attack.
Although Kuaiyin received a lunch at the end of the film, it does not mean that he will not appear in the future, because Kuaiyin was not told to die at the end (although his eyes were wide open), the biological tissue regeneration technology developed by Dr. Zhao Hailun will appear again. It is possible.
According to the director, he "entangled" Aaron Taylor-Johnson for a year, and asked Aaron to play this fastest role before finally getting Aaron to nod. It turned out that Aaron Taylor Johnson was afraid of the role of the Marvel series of movies, and they all had very complicated contracts. He was hesitant because he was afraid that it would affect the future filming plan. The director finally persuaded him to take the role, so he asked Quicksilver to take the lunch. Maybe it's convenient for Aaron not to affect the decisions he makes later on the shadowing program.
In the comics, the Scarlet Witch is a husband and wife. I don't know if the movie will follow this setting, but there are some stalks for the two of them. For example, when Vision was just "born", the camera was brought to the Scarlet Witch to watch. He, and the last "City in the Sky" exploded, Vision flew to save the Scarlet Witch.
The two of them ended up together in the "New Avengers" team.
Anyway, the movie hasn't finished yet, it's possible to be with Captain America in the future...
