    So, I just found this story on my Yahoo news feed.
    This cat is speculating that the gem on Visions forehead is the Soul Gem.

    I guess it could be. I would rather see the Soul Gem in Adam Warlock's possession, but considering that there are a limited number movies to introduce all of the gems before Avengers, Infinity War. I suppose you got to use the titles you have to get everything in place.

    hmmm...
    That is an interesting theory. However, Vision has always had a solar gem on his forehead, so I think that dude is stretching and making bold assumptions.

    HOWEVER, based on new footage that is in the new trailer, this cat (me) is speculating that Tony uses Loki's sceptre (the mind gem?) to power up his AI that becomes Ultron. All the Ultrons have the same blue glow. Probably the reason is all goes wrong.

    Could that mean the castle seen in some scenes is a mission early in the movie. They find the twins, Strucker, & the scepter. Stark takes the scepter to use for a way to "end" the job of protecting everyone. It backfires creating Ultron.

    After getting an ass whomping, the team regroups & confronts Stark...which takes the prior crack & makes it a crevasse between Stark & Rogers.

    Intriguing...

    OK. We've figured out the whole movie. I can save ten bucks.
    What do you mean? You just send the $10 to me.

    M
    The check is in the mail.
    So you've paid your dues, @WetRats? You've paid your dues.

    This is pretty much my take as well. The team blames Tony for Ultron (that and the fact he has created contingency plans for the rest of the team if they go off the rails - ala the "Hulkbuster" armour). The team is fractured at the end of the movie, leaving room on the roster for the twins and the vision (and potentially Black Panther and Ant-Man, and so on), leading into civil war in Cap 3.

    I have to find the link, but i beleivE they said Banner had a hand in creating a Hulk contingency plan.

    No clue if it's the Hulk-buster suit though.

    I could see Civil War being about 2 Avengers teams. Cap could have his "Kooky Quartet" Avengers of Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Ant-Man, or Panther.

    I was worried for a bit, but looks like the Avengers do beat Ultron.

    Saw it on the big screen before Chappie. The Avengers 2 trailer really overpowers the screen, the Quicksilver punch to Cap looked amazing, the Hulkbuster/Hulk fight just floors me. I have to say Wheddon really seems to have repeated the energy of the first film and turned it to eleven. My sons and I are counting the days for that opening's Friday and we are all playing hooky.

    Noticed something interesting (and potentially spoilery) looking at the Avengers 2 Lego sets.

    The Attack on Avengers Tower set includes two figures with Iron Man helmets identifies as "Iron Legion."

    I assumed that to be something like Iron Man 3, with all the suits of armor in Auto mode.

    Correction: Iron Legion Drones.

    White, with blue accents and gold faceplates.

    Makes sense given the push towards Civil War. Given how Cap is sure to feel about drone technology after the events of Winter Soldier, it should be contentious if Stark is continuing to push in that direction with his own tech.

    Iron Legion Drone..isn't that what Ultron is crushing in his hands as he disrupts the "who can lift Thor's hammer" party?

    Look at Ultron's broken chest plate. I think it is safe to assume that Ultron starts off as a Iron Legion Drone (probably Tony's master plan for world safety), before he becomes self-aware. Tony's legion quickly becomes Ultron's Legion.

    Really revealing featurette on Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. Worth your 75 seconds...

    This longer, 2nd TV spot is incredible. Worth your next 60 seconds...

    I saw this last week. My favorite part is Barton stating (at least to Wanda) "if you go through that door, you're an Avenger".

    Another great trailer, reportedly the final one. Welcome attention paid to Black Widow in this one.

    Marvel has made it official, Joe Russo and Anthony Russo will direct Avengers: Infinity War Part 1 and Part 2.

    Meanwhile, Josh Whedon pinkie swears there will be NO post credits scene in Avengers 2, so don't bother sitting through the credits!

    So no tease for Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel or Black Panther at the end... or even an ant-sized moment with Hank Pym. If true, this seems an awful lot like a missed opportunity and certainly breaks from tradition. Fans will be understandably skeptical.

    I am.

    “There will be a tag,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige clarifies. That is, there will be a short, epilogue-like scene that pops up shortly after the credits start. “But there’s not a post-post-credit scene.”


    At least we will have that.

    Marvel has trained moviegoers to stay all the way to the end. Whether that's for the Howard the Duck moment in GOtG or the Avengers initiative in the first Iron Man movie. To come out and announce there is no POST credits scene, not a mid credits tag, but no scene at the end of the credits seems either like a head-fake or a missed opportunity (no Ant-Man moment to promote the next Marvel movie?). I for one will wait until the end, as I have been trained to do :)

  • DoctorDoomDoctorDoom Posts: 2,586
    I'll stay too. Like you said, trained. But I'm happy to have the mid credits scene, if it's the only one.
  • nweathingtonnweathington Posts: 6,748
    I'll wait to the end simply because I always watch the credits, no matter the movie.

    My tickets for the opening day (23rd in the UK :D ) are booked. I'm excited.

    I'll also be there until the very end.

    Doesn't it seem a bit strange that the director of the film would suggest that moviegoers not bother reading the credits of all the people who helped produce the film along with him? Seems somewhat arrogant if it isn't a head-fake.

    Or perhaps simply a kindness to the bladder-control-challenged among his audience.
