I loved the dynamic between Nat and Bruce . . . . . in the end Nat asks Fury if he "knew" when he sent her out to recruit Bruce. He just said you only hope . . . . paraphrasing of course. And poor Bruce 😟 really believes he would never be able to be positive in Nat's life. Bruce/Hulk is such a tragic character.
along the same not-spoiler lines as Mike's comment, my only disappointment in this movie in particular is that this origin of Pietro aren't comic book cannon. I think it's really interesting that he's Magneto's son, especially since he fights on the other side. But obviously Magneto is over in the Sony(edit: FOX) IP licensing agreement. They make a nod to that in one of their movies, but completely unrelated here. The current IP licensing agreements are opening up some interesting possibilities. (1 of the 4 titles I subscribed to back in the mid-90's was X-Factor, which was the team Pietro Maximoff was on. That was my favorite team, even more than X-Men Gold or Blue.)
re James Spader: So you haven't seen Stargate? Fun movie, and while the tv series were sometimes a bit episodic and obviously didn't have the same budget, all 3 spin-offs were worth watching IMO. Possible patreon-exclusive content.
I love Stan's appearance in this one. Not only does it makes sense for Steve to invite WWII vets to his party (they are his peers after all), but Stan Lee (Stanley Lieber) was an actual WWII vet. So he belongs there in every sense of the word. My favorite of his cameos.
@@kaiielle If you wanna get into some actual comics (which I actually kinda prefer to how he is in the movies, although I still love him in the MCU), I highly recommend the Matt Fraction Hawkeye run.
Out of all the reactors I’ve seen react to Age of Ultron, I’m pretty sure you’re the only one who caught that Hawkeye named (middle name) his new born son after Pietro and I’m so glad😆
I looove editor kaiielle pointing out things she missed during the first watch 😆. I think this movie was such a shift from the first Avengers especially when the trailers were released. Always a joy to watch your reactions ❤️❤️
This movie gets a lot of hate in the MCU but I feel it's really underrated. James Spader made an awesome villain. There was a lot of character development despite the number of them as well as the addition of some new faces. The writing was good. The action was great. The effects were awesome. You can't ask for much more. Glad you enjoyed it!
Maybe the best continually evolving and moving scripts in the MCU. This one was jam packed with storylines and yet in moved so quickly and smoothly. A pivotal episode in the Avengers team as we know them.
@@Hyp333R as a DC fan I can understand. But going into the MCU completely blind made it a better experience. I was genuinely shocked by the winter solider reveal, loved ironman 3 because I never heard of the mandarin even loved avengers 2 and Ultron for the same reason.
I feel like this movie in the MCU is really underrated. The first 30mins are so much fun and the movie doesn't really have a slow point in it which is really nice. Overall love the movie, love your reaction, looking forward to more! 💜
29:40 ..."Noooo...yes, maybe, I don't know"... Caaan you repeeeat the question, you're not the boss of me now, you're not the boss of me now, you're not the boss of me now..... (Sorry couldn't help it🤣🤣)
I find Jarvis/Vision has some of the best (deeply philosophical) lines in the MCU, and his introduction in this movie is a good sampling of them. "Humans [...] think order and chaos are somehow opposites." "There is grace in their failings." "A thing is not beautiful _because_ it lasts." 💜
Thanks again for letting us all watch with you, Kaiielle. I'm really glad that you supported Bruce and Natasha as a couple -- more than one reactor has been weirded out about that pairing. It caught me by surprise initially, but like Steve, I felt they deserved a bit of happiness. Vision was a very pleasant surprise for me. Like Ultron, his origin in the comics is a great deal different than in the MCU. We wasn't made by Stark, and J.A.R.V.I.S. wasn't a part of him. So even though I knew about the character, and recognized him as soon as he appeared, his reveal in the story was an unexpected twist. As far as "WandaVision" goes, there's much more to the title of that show than you're suspecting. That's all I'll say about it. And your reaction to Steve splitting the log? Priceless 💜 Keep up the great work!
Such intelligent reactions! A pleasure to watch. At the closing scene comic book fans groaned when we did not hear Cap finish the rally cry "Avengers Assemble!"
im so glad you enjoyed Elizabeth Olsen in this movie!! i first saw her act back in 2012 in a movie called "Peace, Love & Understanding" when i was really young, as my mom was a huge Olsen twins fan and put it on for the family to watch one night. my love for her only grew as the years went on, she really is incredibly talented and i'll definitely be suggesting a couple of my favorite movies of hers in your suggestion form. great reaction, i loved it!!
This movie is hugely underrated honestly. Not only do i find it very hilarious but the plot aint too bad either. (The mcu is also an amazing source of memes)
The lack of Pepper and Jane in this film was due entirely to contract issues with both actresses. Nuff said on that. As for Bruce and Nat, I thought the pairing was not forced. There is so much that could be going on behind the scenes. Keep in mind in the real world there were years between these films, and even the dialogue implied there had been much going on with the team. You probably didn't catch it, but the code name of the Hulkbuster and containment (Veronica) was an inside joke because Bruce's original girlfriend was Betty - Bruce and Tony were making an Archie's reference. 💜
I loved Wanda and Pietro Maximoff in this film as for one both are just really cool character and secondly it was great to see them for the first time in live action outside of the X-Men cartoons and comics. But also for behind the scenes reason relating to movies licences that for many fans was a surprise to see that the MCU could use these characters. Wanda and her Brother Pietro first appearance was in The X-Men #4 where they were members of the newly introduced Brotherhood of Evil Mutants under the command of Magneto there "Father". Both are very much X-Men characters who are heavily connected to the lore and history of Mutants something we have not seen in the MCU for one big out of universe reason. So technically Wanda and Pietro are X-Men characters so their movie rights belonged to Fox who owned the X-Men movie rights since 1996. But there was a middle ground which I imagine Disney used to convince Fox to let them use these two characters. In the comics the Maximoff twins left the Brotherhood of Mutants and joint the Avengers so they're very much connected to both the X-Men and The Avengers. Fox owned the right to X-Men but Wanda and Pietro were also Avenger characters so technically they also belonged to Avengers rights of characters. In the end it looks Disney/Marvel were able to use these characters they just couldn't refer to them as "Mutants" which is why we hear them referred to as term "Enhanced Individuals" in this movie or hint towards any other X-Men or Mutant characters. This doesn't mean their not Mutants in the MCU it's just Marvel can't refer to them as one but can leave the door open for the future. But since 2019 Disney now own the rights to the X-Men which means Marvel Studios are free to use any X-Men character or term in the MCU without any legal trouble. I could also see this being why Pietro "Quicksilver" was killed off in his first appearance, don't think Marvel was sure if they could hold onto him as a character for long enough so they just killed him off and kept Wanda. Can't speak too much on this stuff as I'm not sure if you've seen the X-Men movies so I'll stop at that. Pretty much with Fox having their own X-Men series of movies going on they wanted to keep there characters too themselves. Who created Ultron? One pretty big change is the creator of Ultron. In the comic's are most renditions (Video games and Cartoons) Ultron was created by Hank Pym also known as Ant man instead of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. The events within and around Sokovia are also unique to this film and did not happen in the comic's but Sokovia itself is from the comic's appearing in the Earth-616 main Marvel comic's. This change also changes Ultron slightly who acts more like Tony rather than Hank as this Ultron shares Tony's personality instead of Hanks. Overall a really fun movie that was mixed when it came out but aged like fine wine once people realised what it build up to with the later movies.
Just as Ultron's creator was changed in the MCU, so was Wanda and Pietro's origin. As of this film, they weren't considered mutants. It's not just that they weren't called by that name due to the rights being held by FOX, but (avoidng spoilers) they were were just normal people who volunteered for HYDRA's experiments, and that's what gave them superpowers. It's also worth noting that in the comics, Wanda and Pietro are not considered mutants anymore either (as of 2014). And they aren't the biological children of Magneto anymore either, that was revealed to be something they thought was true but wasn't. Of course they weren't originally any relation to Magneto' they joined the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The Maximoff twins being his biological children was a backstory introduced in the 1980s. While they were officially thought to be Magneto's children for 30+ years, currently that's not the case.
Love how they gave Ultron Tony’s sense of humor and a little of his personality makes you really look at him as his son. As Wanda said to Steve “ Ultron can’t tell the difference between saving the world and destroying the world, where do you think he gets that from “ ?
I loved your enjoyment of the huge action sequences. That first one you called “sick” was Joss’s key shot designed to look like a two-page comic book spread. 😊💜
Glad you're enjoying these movies. One of my favorite things about the MCU is how real and genuine the relationships between everyone feels. They do such an incredible job making the team really feel like a family! Really excited for all the future MCU reactions! 💜
The Avengers especially feel like a group of cousins to me, or at least all best friends. The bickering and conflicts between each other at times, but still working together and also being very in tune with the abilities of one another... it's just so great! I'm glad you're enjoying the reactions. Thanks for being here. 💜
so glad you enjoyed it..age of ultron us still in my fave mcu films..in my top5..Spader as ultron was superb casting..this movie brought many pieces to the future of the mcu..enjoy the next ones..
I’ve been collecting comics since I began reading and I love seeing people get excited about the characters I love. It never gets old. Enjoy the journey 🙌🏼
I think the reason why they paired Nat & Banner up was to A) give the team an "easy way" to get banner back from being the hulk, and B) because his comic (and the hulk solo movies) love interest isn't involved in the series past the solo movie, which a lot of fans have disliked, so she was kind of a fill in for the MCU. Kind of like how Ultron in the comics wasn't made by Tony & Bruce, but by someone else (Who was also a founding member of The Avengers, but was left out of the MCU's version of the team), along with a few other changes throughout the MCU.
I do really enjoy this one, honestly it has more moments i love than the first one, and the Hulk V Iron Man fight is phenomenonal. Also probably my favourite scene in the film is the first time Ultron steps out in to the party and talks to the Avengers, he's all half built and creepy and James' performance is great! In terms of the Hulk and Nat stuff, I can take it or leave it, it's a little forced but the moments are cute.
💜 Love your review and reaction to this often underappreciated movie. A proper introduction of Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff. Paul Bettany *finally* gets some physical screen time by moving from playing Jarvis to Vision. The fleshing out of Hawkeye's story, the tragedy of Pietro's death. And I totally ship Natasha and Bruce! Very much looking forward to your next film on the list!
That music at 39:20-ish was an Arvo Pärt composition. I don't know which piece, but I have an older copy of his "Te Deum," and the sound is unmistakable; I did confirm it was one of his creations. It's haunting! 💜
Fun things to watch on this reaction - just about every time cap shows his muscles Kaiielle seems to have a stunned reaction haha. Seriously though, great reaction to a pretty good MCU movie. What makes this a wonderful movie for me is the intro of Wanda.
A lot of people have claimed this to be a "bad" movie but I myself have always considered it a necessary movie. This was a movie that a lot of things will build off of, and I've always liked to more when looking at it as a "big picture" situation. Love the movies, love the reactions, love for things to come KL
Kaiielle. So glad you are enjoying this MCU journey! You absolutely get it. So cool that you are catching a lot of the details. The team up movies are the best don't you think? So looking forward to the rest of the MCU to come. See you then...
I ship Banner and Natasha, too! Liz Olson (Olsen?) has been in some FANTASTIC films, including Wind River, and one of my favs, Godzilla 2014. James Spader did a stint on The Office and was pretty darned funny.
It has been a while since I saw Godzilla 2014. I didn't even remember Elizabeth Olsen was in it. I just glanced at the cast list and found Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Pietro) was also in that. (I saw that movie while recovering in a hospital so honestly I remember very little of it).
Always a pleasure to see your reactions, especially when you like something. Kinda surprised Guardians of the Galaxy wasn’t one of your favorites, but the eye rolls and heavy sighs should have told me. Thanks and keep up the great job.
This film is the lynchpin that sets up the whole of Phase 3. AoU does not get the credit it deserves. 1. It's sets up the character dynamics that keeps the Universe together 2. it uses real locations instead of CGI backdrops 3. focuses on the characters we have instead of just expanding 4. Shows the Avengers in messy firefights actually helping people 5. explores the consequences of heroism and the issues that make the Avengers interesting in a society. Increasingly the MCU forgets just to focus on a group of people and finding what creates sparks
Vision was created by 3 Avengers (Bruce, Tony and Thor), plus Jarvis, and the Mind Stone. Makes him a really interesting and powerful member of the team :) So on Bruce and Nat. While I think they're cute.. I kind of thought she had better chemistry with Steve in the previous Captain America movie. So.. Kinda shipped them after that.. But then this started with Bruce, so kind of confusing
@@kaiielle true!! lol. But sometimes good friends can make good lovers :P but we all know Steve will always have Peggy in his heart as well. :) (that kiss on the escalator though..am I right?)
Glad you liked this one. It’s probably the most underrated movie in the MCU. Also glad you made those catches in your edit, it would have really sucked (for you) if you hadn’t noticed. Also, also😁 it’s cool to see the love you give Hawkeye. He doesn’t get the respect from fans he deserves. On another note, you may be the only person who’s ever been on board with the Natasha/Bruce plot right away. Most of us were super confused when we saw it in 2015. Up til this point Natasha just seemed super flirty with most guys. There was no precedent for her to fall for Bruce, (or at least based on what we were shown. I could geek about this movie for a while.
Don't apologise for being honest. As I (and others) have said before, one of the things I enjoy most about your reactions is that you have a unique perspective. It's good to see, and you're skilled at expressing that perspective. So again, another super-fun watch. Can't wait for the next one 💜
I was super pumped to see the Hulkbuster armor on the big screen 😯 Codename, "Veronica". I read somewhere a while back that the reason they call it Veronica is because it's an Archie comics reference. Since Bruce was once in love with Betty. Can't confirm that though. I was also excited to see Cap nudge Mjiolnir. There's also a few theories as to why he couldn't fully pick it up. We'll leave that for later since they contain spoilers 🤐 I also loved the combos Thor and Cap did while they fought. Can't wait for your next MCU reaction ❤
It's great how you keyed in on the attempts to keep civilians as safe as can be given the situation. It's something that is often missing from other big action movies .
@blazedonakayak7799it's also a nice way to add some stakes into a movie where you know it's very unlikely that hero will die or have any permanent injury. An extra you see 2 or 3 times you can suddenly start to care if the good guys manage to save them . And they might fail at that .
@blazed ona kayak MoS is the only DCEU movie I've reacted to on the channel, and I didn't care for it and that was one of the reasons why. The first half was fine, the latter half was just very over the top for seemingly no good reason. I really love the focus on all the humans around the Avengers and that they care about protecting them.
the level of anime-like violence and pacing of said action is my major problem with all the current DC movies. Even the best DC movie I personally rank just above some of the stinkiest MCU flicks.
This is one of my favorite MCU movies all around, for a lot of the same reasons that you have. I especially love Hawkdad in this movie... he was good in the other films that he's been in, but I feel like this one is when his personality really started coming through 💜The thing that I find interesting with Nat and Bruce is that, from a certain point of view, she wanted to make sure that what happened in the first Avengers movie, where the hulk was going after her, couldn't happen again... so she made herself the one who could bring Bruce back into control. A very reasonable response from someone who is always as prepared as Nat is... but also... a good thing between teammates.
FYI in this movie they gave Wanda very different abilities from the comics. As Maria Hill explained, she has telekinesis (able to move objects and create force barriers/bolts) and limited telepathy (able to make people see their worst fears in their minds). In the comics Wanda didn't have any of that- she had a probability warping "hex" power that made unlikely events occur. It was very random in the comics- Wanda couldn't control the outcomes and didn't know what effect her power would have in any given situation. So Marvel Studios gave Wanda something more cinematic inthe MCU- something that audiences could easily follow, without requiring a ton of exposition every time she used her power.
Always love getting a chance to watch one of your reactions. It's been hard keeping up lol. I'm so glad you're enjoying your journey through the MCU. I definitely loved Age of Ultron when it was released. There's definitely some amazing "Superhero" Moments in this one.
It's a whole lot of fun to be able to enjoy these movies with you. This one in particular ransk very high with me for all the interactions we get from so many characters without any over shadowing all others. Just a fun ride from beginning to end. I'm fine with the Banner-Romanoff ark, not overly thrilled about it but have nothing against it either. Irks me more that it shows they were not done polishing off Wanda in this first appearance, she changes looks at the end and it just doesn't vibe well with me, feels a little overdone. But as far as complains go so long as that's all I have it makes for a pretty fantastic movie. Looking forward to continuing this journey with you. See you again soon and thanks. 💜
The first time I saw this movie I had to double take at Wanda's entrance at the end. Who is that? Oh wow she doesn't look anything like the same actress that has been in this entire movie. I honestly wondered if she wasn't available and they had to bring in someone else to film that last scene. lol.
Longer reactions just mean more copyright issues. I'm happy with reactions coming out around 45 mins total, with intro and outro, but this one at 52 mins is also good too!
@kaiielle Totally understandable. I personally would love videos where you go more in-depth with your thoughts, almost like a book club format, but I know that may be too much to ask, lol.
@@mrjoshyee There are some movies where my review portion has been nearly 20 minutes long, so it really just depends on the movie. If I have a lot to say, then I will talk a lot. But I'm not a film critic or a professional reviewer. And to be honest, the majority of viewers stop watching as soon as my review begins which is one of the reasons why I don't ramble on as much as I used to when I first started doing this, because why spend all that time on something that only a handful of people watch (around 2-5% of viewers watch the entire video from start to end). In any case, I'm glad you enjoy my ramblings at the end of the videos and watch them! I'll never get rid of them.
@kaiielle I absolutely get it. A person can dream, though, lol. I enjoy discussing things like this with my friends in a very casual way which is why I enjoy your thoughts. I don't care much to hear these things from film students or movie buffs.
Spader was one of the '80s "Brat Pack" and was in Less Than Zero along with Robert Downey Jr. Highlights from his film career include Stargate and Sex Lies & Videotape. Although he and Charlize Theron were excellent in the otherwise forgettable 2 Days in the Valley. His biggest impact was probably with two TV shows: Boston Legal & The Blacklist. The Blacklist became very repetitive but he's great in it. Boston Legal was one of the best legal "dramedies" ever and featured great chemistry between him and William Shatner (of all people).
Damn, just missed the premiere. You continue to impress me with your reactions, and selfishly I love that your taste is similar to mine. Which is why I am REALLY excited about what's to come. Great job as always! 💜
Thank you! It's hard sometimes to figure out when to speak vs. when not to during a movie I haven't seen before but I think I strike the balance pretty well. ☺️
@@kaiielle Before Natasha Also, Elizabeth Olsen made her explosive screen debut in the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen film How the West Was Fun as "Girl in Car." ;) 💜
The only thing I found weird about Ultron was how human his personality and demeanor was. In the comics he seemed so much scarier, crazier, partially because they designed his face so much scarier as well
Reactions that are a bit on the longer side are always welcome. There are way too many movie reactions that are like 20 minutes which is just not enough to do the movies justice.
This is definitely a movie that’s closer to the bottom of my MCU list. Didn’t like it when it came out but I’ve softened to it over the years. I disagree with a few character choices (Bruce/Nat is a hard no for me, I don’t like how Pietro died and Thor’s storyline meanders and feels out of place) but I enjoy the action, most of the character interactions and Hawkeye really gets a chance to shine. It’s definitely necessary viewing for the MCU because it sets up a lot but it doesn’t even crack top 15 for me. Great reaction though.
I get liking more movies with a darker tone like Winter Soldier because I am like that too but just because GOTG is more comedic doesn’t mean it’s bad written, especially having it below movies like Thor 2, Iron Man 2, and Hulk that are three of the worse written movies in the MCU. GOTG is better written, acted, has better cinematography and score, objectively is definitely a top 15 MCU movie so it’s crazy to me that you have it below those movies😳
Fun fact: during the filming of this movie, James spader was in a mocap suit where his head was around crotch level for ultron. When he spoke everyone was trying not to look him in the eyes as they would be looking at ultron's crotch
My favorite parts of the entire MCU are the moments where the superheroes AREN'T being super. I adore the party and farm scenes for the "normal meets surreal" aspect that they show. Thought we were going to lose you there for a minute when cap ripped his log lol. Great insights. One thing about Bruce & Nat, remember in the first Avengers when they meet for the first time. Nat (who is utterly fearless) was very apprehensive about meeting Banner in India, and was legit scared of him when he yelled at her. He got to her on an emotional level that no-one ever could & opened her eyes.
Ultron's comment about Sokovia "you rise only to fall" is the classic villain arc. The hero's story arc is the opposite - they fall first, only to rise at the end. Ultron also makes sarcastic comments about story tropes, like "let's pause while I explain my evil plan".
There are so many minor details and things said that connect all these shows that they are easily missed the first time through and the more I watch the more I see.
💜 I haven't seen Age of Ultron nearly as much as other MCU projects so it was nice to experience it again. In retrospect, this is kind of where "Marvel quippiness" hit its peak (a side-effect of Joss Whedon directing and co-writing it). There's almost never an entirely serious moment during the whole film because, even during the final battle with the fate of the planet at stake, the heroes are constantly sniping at each other or Ultron. It's fun in the moment, but on revisits, it's actually kind of distracting. The scripts definitely mellowed out a bit after this, unless the project was intentionally more comedy-focused. Kind of an interesting time capsule, in a way.

i love how Ultron spent 10 seconds on the internet and decided it all had to go
Clint's speech to Wanda solidified him as the heart of the Avengers. "You step out that door, you are an Avenger".
Love that online meme about how the Avengers lose only when Hawkeye isn't there. Makes sense.
Yeah, and "the city is flying - and I have a bow and arrow" - so true, and yet.. It's somehow enough.
I love Stan's appearance in this one. Not only does it makes sense for Steve to invite WWII vets to his party (they are his peers after all), but Stan Lee (Stanley Lieber) was an actual WWII vet. So he belongs there in every sense of the word. My favorite of his cameos.
I love how much you're there for Hawkeye.
He doesn't get enough props.
He's great and I will defend him always!
@@kaiielle If you wanna get into some actual comics (which I actually kinda prefer to how he is in the movies, although I still love him in the MCU), I highly recommend the Matt Fraction Hawkeye run.
@@nikolaiquack8548thats a top ten marvel comic book run
Absolutely. It's fantastic. The humour, especially.
The scene with Vision and Ultron after the battle is one of my favorite scenes in the whole MCU! Vision really gets all the best lines.
All these years, I never caught that little Nate's middle name is Pietro. The Bartons are such good people, being willing to honor him that way
Well, he did save Nate's father's life
Ultron is basically personification of Tony's PTSD.
Vision and Ultron's dialogue at the end is some of the MCU's best and it really sold Vision to me as a hero and Avenger.
Out of all the reactors I’ve seen react to Age of Ultron, I’m pretty sure you’re the only one who caught that Hawkeye named (middle name) his new born son after Pietro and I’m so glad😆
"Wind River" is a great Elizabeth Olsen film that also stars ur boy Jeremy Renner!

@@michaelseifu3212 belive me, proper ultron you would like more or would be scared more depends on how you take this stuff.
loved this movie for the introduction of wanda
James Spader is a great casting choice, because, not only is his voice threatening as hell, he is Brat-Pack-adjacent like Robert Downey, Jr.
It’s such a breath of fresh air to see a reactor be a huge fan of Hawkeye from day 1. He never gets love from people this early👏🏾❤️
I think you missed the subplot that Ultron was a Pinocchio story, but it was Jarvis that became a real boy.
I feel like this movie in the MCU is really underrated. The first 30mins are so much fun and the movie doesn't really have a slow point in it which is really nice. Overall love the movie, love your reaction, looking forward to more! 💜

I find Jarvis/Vision has some of the best (deeply philosophical) lines in the MCU, and his introduction in this movie is a good sampling of them. "Humans [...] think order and chaos are somehow opposites." "There is grace in their failings." "A thing is not beautiful _because_ it lasts." 💜
Very good lines, indeed! The reason why I kept in most of that conversation between him and Ultron at the end of the movie.
Tony; I don't trust a guy without a dark side
Cap: 😏
This is my favorite of your MCU reaction so far... This is SO underrated as an MCU movie, glad you enjoyed it
Thanks again for letting us all watch with you, Kaiielle.
I'm really glad that you supported Bruce and Natasha as a couple -- more than one reactor has been weirded out about that pairing. It caught me by surprise initially, but like Steve, I felt they deserved a bit of happiness.
Vision was a very pleasant surprise for me. Like Ultron, his origin in the comics is a great deal different than in the MCU. We wasn't made by Stark, and J.A.R.V.I.S. wasn't a part of him. So even though I knew about the character, and recognized him as soon as he appeared, his reveal in the story was an unexpected twist. As far as "WandaVision" goes, there's much more to the title of that show than you're suspecting. That's all I'll say about it.
And your reaction to Steve splitting the log? Priceless 💜
Keep up the great work!
Such intelligent reactions! A pleasure to watch. At the closing scene comic book fans groaned when we did not hear Cap finish the rally cry "Avengers Assemble!"
im so glad you enjoyed Elizabeth Olsen in this movie!! i first saw her act back in 2012 in a movie called "Peace, Love & Understanding" when i was really young, as my mom was a huge Olsen twins fan and put it on for the family to watch one night. my love for her only grew as the years went on, she really is incredibly talented and i'll definitely be suggesting a couple of my favorite movies of hers in your suggestion form. great reaction, i loved it!!
James Spader starred in many great movies, but I always think of "Boston Legal" first, that show was hilarious and he was so good in it.
This movie is hugely underrated honestly.
Not only do i find it very hilarious but the plot aint too bad either.
(The mcu is also an amazing source of memes)
"Hello, Deere." and "I'm decryptin'..." gave me many giggles
The lack of Pepper and Jane in this film was due entirely to contract issues with both actresses. Nuff said on that. As for Bruce and Nat, I thought the pairing was not forced. There is so much that could be going on behind the scenes. Keep in mind in the real world there were years between these films, and even the dialogue implied there had been much going on with the team.
You probably didn't catch it, but the code name of the Hulkbuster and containment (Veronica) was an inside joke because Bruce's original girlfriend was Betty - Bruce and Tony were making an Archie's reference. 💜
I loved Wanda and Pietro Maximoff in this film as for one both are just really cool character and secondly it was great to see them for the first time in live action outside of the X-Men cartoons and comics. But also for behind the scenes reason relating to movies licences that for many fans was a surprise to see that the MCU could use these characters. Wanda and her Brother Pietro first appearance was in The X-Men #4 where they were members of the newly introduced Brotherhood of Evil Mutants under the command of Magneto there "Father". Both are very much X-Men characters who are heavily connected to the lore and history of Mutants something we have not seen in the MCU for one big out of universe reason.
So technically Wanda and Pietro are X-Men characters so their movie rights belonged to Fox who owned the X-Men movie rights since 1996. But there was a middle ground which I imagine Disney used to convince Fox to let them use these two characters. In the comics the Maximoff twins left the Brotherhood of Mutants and joint the Avengers so they're very much connected to both the X-Men and The Avengers. Fox owned the right to X-Men but Wanda and Pietro were also Avenger characters so technically they also belonged to Avengers rights of characters.
In the end it looks Disney/Marvel were able to use these characters they just couldn't refer to them as "Mutants" which is why we hear them referred to as term "Enhanced Individuals" in this movie or hint towards any other X-Men or Mutant characters. This doesn't mean their not Mutants in the MCU it's just Marvel can't refer to them as one but can leave the door open for the future. But since 2019 Disney now own the rights to the X-Men which means Marvel Studios are free to use any X-Men character or term in the MCU without any legal trouble.
I could also see this being why Pietro "Quicksilver" was killed off in his first appearance, don't think Marvel was sure if they could hold onto him as a character for long enough so they just killed him off and kept Wanda. Can't speak too much on this stuff as I'm not sure if you've seen the X-Men movies so I'll stop at that. Pretty much with Fox having their own X-Men series of movies going on they wanted to keep there characters too themselves.
Who created Ultron?
One pretty big change is the creator of Ultron. In the comic's are most renditions (Video games and Cartoons) Ultron was created by Hank Pym also known as Ant man instead of Tony Stark and Bruce Banner. The events within and around Sokovia are also unique to this film and did not happen in the comic's but Sokovia itself is from the comic's appearing in the Earth-616 main Marvel comic's. This change also changes Ultron slightly who acts more like Tony rather than Hank as this Ultron shares Tony's personality instead of Hanks. Overall a really fun movie that was mixed when it came out but aged like fine wine once people realised what it build up to with the later movies.
Just as Ultron's creator was changed in the MCU, so was Wanda and Pietro's origin. As of this film, they weren't considered mutants. It's not just that they weren't called by that name due to the rights being held by FOX, but (avoidng spoilers) they were were just normal people who volunteered for HYDRA's experiments, and that's what gave them superpowers.
It's also worth noting that in the comics, Wanda and Pietro are not considered mutants anymore either (as of 2014). And they aren't the biological children of Magneto anymore either, that was revealed to be something they thought was true but wasn't. Of course they weren't originally any relation to Magneto' they joined the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The Maximoff twins being his biological children was a backstory introduced in the 1980s. While they were officially thought to be Magneto's children for 30+ years, currently that's not the case.
Love how they gave Ultron Tony’s sense of humor and a little of his personality makes you really look at him as his son. As Wanda said to Steve “ Ultron can’t tell the difference between saving the world and destroying the world, where do you think he gets that from “ ?
I loved your enjoyment of the huge action sequences. That first one you called “sick” was Joss’s key shot designed to look like a two-page comic book spread. 😊💜
Glad you're enjoying these movies. One of my favorite things about the MCU is how real and genuine the relationships between everyone feels. They do such an incredible job making the team really feel like a family! Really excited for all the future MCU reactions! 💜
The Avengers especially feel like a group of cousins to me, or at least all best friends. The bickering and conflicts between each other at times, but still working together and also being very in tune with the abilities of one another... it's just so great! I'm glad you're enjoying the reactions. Thanks for being here. 💜
so glad you enjoyed it..age of ultron us still in my fave mcu films..in my top5..Spader as ultron was superb casting..this movie brought many pieces to the future of the mcu..enjoy the next ones..
18:29 ...."What the freak is this?"...That's called The Hulk-Buster..... You can imagine why....
I’ve been collecting comics since I began reading and I love seeing people get excited about the characters I love. It never gets old.
Enjoy the journey 🙌🏼
The iron legion drones and Mk45 suit are so good. Probably my favorite designs besides the Hulkbuster suit
Gotta catch up, but SUPER pumped to see what you think of Phase 3.
Keep up the awesome work, friend!
Thanks bud!
I really enjoyed this movie and it was so much fun to see someone react positively to the things I loved about it!
Binging on your MCU journey thus far-awesome to see you invested in all this early content.
Vision picks up the hammer....I love it.💜
That huge suit of armor is actually called the Hulkbuster armor. It was designed with a very specific purpose.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. This one is usually low on most fans' lists, but I absolutely love that movie 💜
Thanks Shinnizle! 😊
I think the reason why they paired Nat & Banner up was to A) give the team an "easy way" to get banner back from being the hulk, and B) because his comic (and the hulk solo movies) love interest isn't involved in the series past the solo movie, which a lot of fans have disliked, so she was kind of a fill in for the MCU. Kind of like how Ultron in the comics wasn't made by Tony & Bruce, but by someone else (Who was also a founding member of The Avengers, but was left out of the MCU's version of the team), along with a few other changes throughout the MCU.
I do really enjoy this one, honestly it has more moments i love than the first one, and the Hulk V Iron Man fight is phenomenonal. Also probably my favourite scene in the film is the first time Ultron steps out in to the party and talks to the Avengers, he's all half built and creepy and James' performance is great!
In terms of the Hulk and Nat stuff, I can take it or leave it, it's a little forced but the moments are cute.
The first appearance of Ultron is a great one, indeed!
James spaders voice is such a great villain voice such a calm and creepy sound lol
love the genuine reaction
💜 Love your review and reaction to this often underappreciated movie. A proper introduction of Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff. Paul Bettany *finally* gets some physical screen time by moving from playing Jarvis to Vision. The fleshing out of Hawkeye's story, the tragedy of Pietro's death. And I totally ship Natasha and Bruce!
Very much looking forward to your next film on the list!
your reactions to steve's scenes and those arm shots lol MEEEEE
When Natasha tells Bruce, "Hey Big Guy." Loooooord 💜
It's definintely the equivalent of a man saying something like "Hey baby girl" and yes I'm referring to Joel Miller from The Last of Us. 🤣
@@kaiielle EXACTLY. 🤣
That music at 39:20-ish was an Arvo Pärt composition. I don't know which piece, but I have an older copy of his "Te Deum," and the sound is unmistakable; I did confirm it was one of his creations. It's haunting! 💜
Fun things to watch on this reaction - just about every time cap shows his muscles Kaiielle seems to have a stunned reaction haha. Seriously though, great reaction to a pretty good MCU movie. What makes this a wonderful movie for me is the intro of Wanda.
A lot of people have claimed this to be a "bad" movie but I myself have always considered it a necessary movie. This was a movie that a lot of things will build off of, and I've always liked to more when looking at it as a "big picture" situation. Love the movies, love the reactions, love for things to come KL
Kaiielle. So glad you are enjoying this MCU journey! You absolutely get it. So cool that you are catching a lot of the details. The team up movies are the best don't you think? So looking forward to the rest of the MCU to come. See you then...
I just want to chime in with the fact that I loved the romance between Bruce and Natasha. 💜
I ship Banner and Natasha, too! Liz Olson (Olsen?) has been in some FANTASTIC films, including Wind River, and one of my favs, Godzilla 2014. James Spader did a stint on The Office and was pretty darned funny.
It has been a while since I saw Godzilla 2014. I didn't even remember Elizabeth Olsen was in it. I just glanced at the cast list and found Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Pietro) was also in that. (I saw that movie while recovering in a hospital so honestly I remember very little of it).
Always a pleasure to see your reactions, especially when you like something. Kinda surprised Guardians of the Galaxy wasn’t one of your favorites, but the eye rolls and heavy sighs should have told me. Thanks and keep up the great job.
You are the only reactor I've seen to catch that Hawkeye names his new son Nathaniel (for Natasha)
Pietro
Barton
This film is the lynchpin that sets up the whole of Phase 3. AoU does not get the credit it deserves. 1. It's sets up the character dynamics that keeps the Universe together 2. it uses real locations instead of CGI backdrops 3. focuses on the characters we have instead of just expanding 4. Shows the Avengers in messy firefights actually helping people 5. explores the consequences of heroism and the issues that make the Avengers interesting in a society. Increasingly the MCU forgets just to focus on a group of people and finding what creates sparks
Vision was created by 3 Avengers (Bruce, Tony and Thor), plus Jarvis, and the Mind Stone. Makes him a really interesting and powerful member of the team :)
So on Bruce and Nat. While I think they're cute.. I kind of thought she had better chemistry with Steve in the previous Captain America movie. So.. Kinda shipped them after that.. But then this started with Bruce, so kind of confusing
I see Steve and Nat as best friends and nothing more really. I like their friendship!
@@kaiielle true!! lol. But sometimes good friends can make good lovers :P but we all know Steve will always have Peggy in his heart as well. :)
(that kiss on the escalator though..am I right?)
Glad you liked this one. It’s probably the most underrated movie in the MCU.
Also glad you made those catches in your edit, it would have really sucked (for you) if you hadn’t noticed.
Also, also😁 it’s cool to see the love you give Hawkeye. He doesn’t get the respect from fans he deserves.
On another note, you may be the only person who’s ever been on board with the Natasha/Bruce plot right away. Most of us were super confused when we saw it in 2015. Up til this point Natasha just seemed super flirty with most guys. There was no precedent for her to fall for Bruce, (or at least based on what we were shown.
I could geek about this movie for a while.
Don't apologise for being honest. As I (and others) have said before, one of the things I enjoy most about your reactions is that you have a unique perspective. It's good to see, and you're skilled at expressing that perspective.
So again, another super-fun watch. Can't wait for the next one 💜
Yesssss!!! The only reactor that loves the same scenes and people and duos I do 😂
18:14 not only tony but banner helped him build veronica to stop hulk
In earlier conversation between banner and tony he mentioned that
I was super pumped to see the Hulkbuster armor on the big screen 😯 Codename, "Veronica". I read somewhere a while back that the reason they call it Veronica is because it's an Archie comics reference. Since Bruce was once in love with Betty. Can't confirm that though. I was also excited to see Cap nudge Mjiolnir. There's also a few theories as to why he couldn't fully pick it up. We'll leave that for later since they contain spoilers 🤐 I also loved the combos Thor and Cap did while they fought. Can't wait for your next MCU reaction ❤
The Thormerica combos were EXCELLENT! So appealing, visually.
never knew someone said "no it wasn't" in this movie before watching this XD 4:50
It's great how you keyed in on the attempts to keep civilians as safe as can be given the situation. It's something that is often missing from other big action movies .
@blazed ona kayak It is absolutely the problem with the end of Man of Steel.
@blazedonakayak7799it's also a nice way to add some stakes into a movie where you know it's very unlikely that hero will die or have any permanent injury. An extra you see 2 or 3 times you can suddenly start to care if the good guys manage to save them . And they might fail at that .
@blazed ona kayak MoS is the only DCEU movie I've reacted to on the channel, and I didn't care for it and that was one of the reasons why. The first half was fine, the latter half was just very over the top for seemingly no good reason. I really love the focus on all the humans around the Avengers and that they care about protecting them.
the level of anime-like violence and pacing of said action is my major problem with all the current DC movies. Even the best DC movie I personally rank just above some of the stinkiest MCU flicks.
I’m glad I’m still following your Mcu journey because everytime you post it you’re bringing joy to my day but I really love all your reactions ! 🙏
You: Okay, he’s fast, but what does she do?
All of Us: 😊 Oh … you’ll see! ❤
This is one of my favorite MCU movies all around, for a lot of the same reasons that you have. I especially love Hawkdad in this movie... he was good in the other films that he's been in, but I feel like this one is when his personality really started coming through 💜The thing that I find interesting with Nat and Bruce is that, from a certain point of view, she wanted to make sure that what happened in the first Avengers movie, where the hulk was going after her, couldn't happen again... so she made herself the one who could bring Bruce back into control. A very reasonable response from someone who is always as prepared as Nat is... but also... a good thing between teammates.
"Boom! You looking for this?!"💜
FYI in this movie they gave Wanda very different abilities from the comics. As Maria Hill explained, she has telekinesis (able to move objects and create force barriers/bolts) and limited telepathy (able to make people see their worst fears in their minds). In the comics Wanda didn't have any of that- she had a probability warping "hex" power that made unlikely events occur. It was very random in the comics- Wanda couldn't control the outcomes and didn't know what effect her power would have in any given situation. So Marvel Studios gave Wanda something more cinematic inthe MCU- something that audiences could easily follow, without requiring a ton of exposition every time she used her power.
James spader , Reymond Redington, no one will come close to his blacklist acting but hearing him in mcu.. beautiful
Always love getting a chance to watch one of your reactions. It's been hard keeping up lol. I'm so glad you're enjoying your journey through the MCU. I definitely loved Age of Ultron when it was released. There's definitely some amazing "Superhero" Moments in this one.
It's a whole lot of fun to be able to enjoy these movies with you. This one in particular ransk very high with me for all the interactions we get from so many characters without any over shadowing all others. Just a fun ride from beginning to end. I'm fine with the Banner-Romanoff ark, not overly thrilled about it but have nothing against it either. Irks me more that it shows they were not done polishing off Wanda in this first appearance, she changes looks at the end and it just doesn't vibe well with me, feels a little overdone. But as far as complains go so long as that's all I have it makes for a pretty fantastic movie. Looking forward to continuing this journey with you. See you again soon and thanks. 💜
The first time I saw this movie I had to double take at Wanda's entrance at the end. Who is that? Oh wow she doesn't look anything like the same actress that has been in this entire movie.
I honestly wondered if she wasn't available and they had to bring in someone else to film that last scene. lol.
I prefer longer reactions from you. You give such great insight and you have an interesting perspective.
Longer reactions just mean more copyright issues. I'm happy with reactions coming out around 45 mins total, with intro and outro, but this one at 52 mins is also good too!
@kaiielle Totally understandable. I personally would love videos where you go more in-depth with your thoughts, almost like a book club format, but I know that may be too much to ask, lol.
@@mrjoshyee There are some movies where my review portion has been nearly 20 minutes long, so it really just depends on the movie. If I have a lot to say, then I will talk a lot. But I'm not a film critic or a professional reviewer. And to be honest, the majority of viewers stop watching as soon as my review begins which is one of the reasons why I don't ramble on as much as I used to when I first started doing this, because why spend all that time on something that only a handful of people watch (around 2-5% of viewers watch the entire video from start to end). In any case, I'm glad you enjoy my ramblings at the end of the videos and watch them! I'll never get rid of them.
@kaiielle I absolutely get it. A person can dream, though, lol. I enjoy discussing things like this with my friends in a very casual way which is why I enjoy your thoughts. I don't care much to hear these things from film students or movie buffs.
@@mrjoshyee Appreciate that. 😊
Spader was one of the '80s "Brat Pack" and was in Less Than Zero along with Robert Downey Jr. Highlights from his film career include Stargate and Sex Lies & Videotape. Although he and Charlize Theron were excellent in the otherwise forgettable 2 Days in the Valley. His biggest impact was probably with two TV shows: Boston Legal & The Blacklist. The Blacklist became very repetitive but he's great in it. Boston Legal was one of the best legal "dramedies" ever and featured great chemistry between him and William Shatner (of all people).
Hi Kaiielle I really enjoyed your reaction to Avengers Age of Ultron can wait to see your next reaction !!☺
"Age of Ultron" reminds me of "The Empire Strikes Back". It wasn't my favorite when I first saw it but with every re-watch I like it more and more.
Damn, just missed the premiere. You continue to impress me with your reactions, and selfishly I love that your taste is similar to mine. Which is why I am REALLY excited about what's to come. Great job as always! 💜
9:38 I believe calling her "Kid" and being in a bar is a reference to a movie - Casablanca (1942)
Hawkeye is one of my favorites too! Glad I'm not the only one 💜
Oh just KL having a big grin on her face the whole time. Same 💜
Pretty much!
I love finding people who share my love for Hawkeye. 😍
This movie was so good with the slow motion team shots
Gotta say - You're doing great reactions and solid opinions with very little filler babble - Your channel is top notch!
Thank you! It's hard sometimes to figure out when to speak vs. when not to during a movie I haven't seen before but I think I strike the balance pretty well. ☺️
When they flash back briefly to Black Widow's training, the woman in charge of the training is played by Julie Delpy.
Didn't even recognize her!
@@kaiielle Before Natasha
Also, Elizabeth Olsen made her explosive screen debut in the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen film How the West Was Fun as "Girl in Car." ;) 💜
I haven’t seen this one in awhile, may have to watch it again in it’s entirety
The only thing I found weird about Ultron was how human his personality and demeanor was. In the comics he seemed so much scarier, crazier, partially because they designed his face so much scarier as well
Reactions that are a bit on the longer side are always welcome. There are way too many movie reactions that are like 20 minutes which is just not enough to do the movies justice.
I love the way u look at Steve Rogers. I imagine I’m him in my younger days lol. Sorry if I sound creepy ❤
This is definitely a movie that’s closer to the bottom of my MCU list. Didn’t like it when it came out but I’ve softened to it over the years. I disagree with a few character choices (Bruce/Nat is a hard no for me, I don’t like how Pietro died and Thor’s storyline meanders and feels out of place) but I enjoy the action, most of the character interactions and Hawkeye really gets a chance to shine. It’s definitely necessary viewing for the MCU because it sets up a lot but it doesn’t even crack top 15 for me. Great reaction though.
I get liking more movies with a darker tone like Winter Soldier because I am like that too but just because GOTG is more comedic doesn’t mean it’s bad written, especially having it below movies like Thor 2, Iron Man 2, and Hulk that are three of the worse written movies in the MCU. GOTG is better written, acted, has better cinematography and score, objectively is definitely a top 15 MCU movie so it’s crazy to me that you have it below those movies😳
The beauty of humans is sometimes we have different opinions! I'm glad that you enjoy GOTG a lot!
I like this movie a lot... and it gets even better on a rewatch when you can see some of the things that they are setting up! 💕
Fun fact: during the filming of this movie, James spader was in a mocap suit where his head was around crotch level for ultron. When he spoke everyone was trying not to look him in the eyes as they would be looking at ultron's crotch
My favorite parts of the entire MCU are the moments where the superheroes AREN'T being super. I adore the party and farm scenes for the "normal meets surreal" aspect that they show. Thought we were going to lose you there for a minute when cap ripped his log lol. Great insights. One thing about Bruce & Nat, remember in the first Avengers when they meet for the first time. Nat (who is utterly fearless) was very apprehensive about meeting Banner in India, and was legit scared of him when he yelled at her. He got to her on an emotional level that no-one ever could & opened her eyes.
Ultron's comment about Sokovia "you rise only to fall" is the classic villain arc. The hero's story arc is the opposite - they fall first, only to rise at the end. Ultron also makes sarcastic comments about story tropes, like "let's pause while I explain my evil plan".
This is the moment Hawkeye become my all time favorite Avenger.
Julie Delpy was in the Black Widow hallucination...
The Hulk buster is code name Veronica as in Betty and Veronica...
I didn't recognize Julie in the hallucination but I love that she was there!
There are so many minor details and things said that connect all these shows that they are easily missed the first time through and the more I watch the more I see.
💜
I haven't seen Age of Ultron nearly as much as other MCU projects so it was nice to experience it again. In retrospect, this is kind of where "Marvel quippiness" hit its peak (a side-effect of Joss Whedon directing and co-writing it). There's almost never an entirely serious moment during the whole film because, even during the final battle with the fate of the planet at stake, the heroes are constantly sniping at each other or Ultron. It's fun in the moment, but on revisits, it's actually kind of distracting. The scripts definitely mellowed out a bit after this, unless the project was intentionally more comedy-focused. Kind of an interesting time capsule, in a way.
This is one of the MCU movies that gets better when you go back after completing phase three and rewatch it.
I nickname it...the lynchpin..🙃
