My mind is still blown from that announcement, it almost takes away the insane amount of excitement I had the other day when I saw the Ultron trailer.

Does anybody know if Joss is supposed to the the infinity war movies? My mind is telling me that he won't but I'm really hoping that he will.

I also love Agents of Shield, I think most of it's haters are people who watched only the first few episodes. It got slightly better after the mid season break and WAY better after Cap 2 came out. Season 2 has been nothing but awesome so far!

Allegedly, if not Joss, the Russo brothers may do it after Cap 3.

Yeah I thought I heard something about that too, I think they did an amazing job with Winter Soldier (possibly my favorite MCU movie) but the MCU will be at such a fragile state at that point that making a change could be risky. Isn't that what happened with the X-Men movies? Singer left after the first 2 and the 3rd one sucked right?

X-men - pretty much. Although he came back for Days of Future Past and it was really good.
The Wolverine was also exceptional, I thought (especially as a comics guy) and First Class was pretty good as well. They're doing a good job alongside MCU, hopefully they keep it up.

I've never been a big X-Men fan as far as comics or movies go but I also thought First Class was great, by far my favorite X-Men movie. And yeah after DOFP they will be fine on their own, but Spider-Man on the other hand............cmon Sony it's time to give it up, maybe if the Sinister Six tanks badly we'll see Spidey in the Infinity Wars!

I hope Joss stays to finish this run of Avenger movies. The X-men deal is a little different. Not sure what happened with Singer and FOX, but FOX brought Ratner in and he struck out on the third movie. Don't think he was bought in or even was a fan. Thankfully Fox realized their error and got Singer back on board. He basically had to do DOFP to reset all the things they screwed up. But Marvel has everyone set across the board with the shared universe, Movie, TV, and Netflix. Even rumors that Sony has got smart and wants to get spiderman in on it.

Yeah I guess the Russo brothers would be a totally different story being that they have a good track record with Cap and what not.

Wolverine, Cap, X-men were my three go-to comic series' growing up. I thought the Wolverine did a fantastic job from a comics perspective. The DOFP storyline has been retold through various media a little differently each time, but I loved the movie.

Yeah as a die hard Spidey fan I'm kind of jealous of X-men/Wolverine fans, I really like Garfield as Peter but there's just something not right about the new movies.

I hope Spidey ends up back with Marvel somehow. I sort of recall reading how Sony is a pain from both Sam Raimi and Garfield. Like Raimi's third Spidey film was just supposed to be the Sandman and Sony basically forced him to use Venom, and that is a reason why he left the franchise. I think I read the same thing later where Garfiled mentioned the original Spiderman 2 script was so good before Sony started messing with it.

Yeah that was definitely the problem with Spiderman 3 and ASM2, way to much shoving stuff where it doesn't belong. In Spider-Man 3 it was forcing a fan favorite character into the script and ASM2 was way to much world building.

I keep holding out hope that they will make some rated R Marvel movies. Wolverine is #1 on that list for me. I wish his solo movies were darker. I did hear Deadpool could be rated R though!

I am with you on that one!
The Wolverine was definitely the closest. A superhero slaughter in DOFP wasn't bad either

That was a huge problem with Origins: Wolverine. Why oh why did they stuff it full of characters, especially ones who shouldn't have been there....sigh.

So Agents of Shield seems to be well loved in this thread. The commercials didn't sell me on it, but you folks recommend it, obviously?

I drop in and out of watching Agents of SHIELD. It seems to be one of those shows that backs up on my DVR. Excited for Agent Carter, though.

Also saw today that Jack Kirby has finally been given creator credit in many of Marvel's most iconic comics. So glad to see it, wish it happened when he was still alive.

Yeah, I have thought the Wolverine solo movies have been OK. As I mentioned before, I really want to see a darker version of Wolverine, but probably won't happen because of his marketability to kids. I would have to go back through my old comics, but I remember some very dark story lines. The Gehenna Stone Affair, amongst others, pops into my head.

There's been rumours of Marvel getting Spidey back for a while now, and it reared it's head again with the Civil War announcement (and the poor reviews for the new Spidey film). It would be interesting to see how they'd fit him in.

I love the way that the MCU movies are all connected, I just hope they can keep the continuity going with all of the extra characters coming out. The continuity with the X-Men movies is completely fucked now but the films are still a lot of fun.

Full disclosure: I've never read a comic book in my life. I don't know why, there was a comic book store 6-7 blocks from my house. In fact I even collected baseball cards for a very short time and that's where I got them. I was a "real book" girl, which made less sense since there ain't never been a book store anywhere NEAR here.

I've been permanently mad at Spidey since he was in my way when they were filming way back when. I think I only watched the first two, and then I never watched the reboot either. I don't even remember what they made me late for, but I was very pissed off.

I would recommend watching Agents of Shield but you gotta give them a break for the first half of the first season. I think ABC kind of fucked with them in the beginning, and when Thor: The Dark World came out they did a LOT of advertising that SHIELD was gonna pick up where that left off, which was bull, so pissed off a lot of people (including me). I agree that Season 2 has been exceptional, but you need to sit through season 1 to be able to "get" a lot of the interpersonal relationships. After Winter Soldier SHIELD really took off.

I can't wait for the new Captain America movie. I need more Bucky in my life.

I think they're just going to go back to X-Men 1 continuity as far as movies go, and forget about X2 and 3.
But we'll see. Apocalypse will come out and none of it will be addressed

So what's everyone's thoughts on Age of Ultron? I for one am stoked beyond belief!

I think it is going to be incredible. Just crazy what Marvel is doing right now.

Rygar

I think it will be good, based on how they're doing with all the other movies. Like any movie I know I'm going to see, I avoid any trailers or spoilers as much as I can before the movie

The worst part is when you have to stay off social media entirely cuz you didn't get to watch something yet. Lately some of my shows have been 'live instagramming' which I tend to forget about so i have scroll away really really fast! lol

Rygar

Yeah it is hard to avoid! FB has spoiled Walking Dead on me just this week!
