I'm actually rewatching Age of Ultron as we type, and I must say, even if I don't end up liking it as much as I did the first time, it seems as solid a waypoint between the previous and next movies as The Avengers was, or Captain America: Civil War seems to be. If there's one thing Marvel knows how to do well, even with its lesser movies, it's how to bridge the gap to the next big ****ing hit, and for comic books, that's almost half the battle.

I'm currently watching it as well, and it's making me miss Hulk & Thor a lot more than I thought I did.

MARVEL GIVE US WORLD WAR HULK ALREADY.

You're a tasteless ****. James Spader's Ultron is one of the best characters in all of comic book movies, and yet you insist on being a dumb, useless child molester?

Yes, and thank you.

OMG. I'm just watching the bit after the very first Ultron confrontation, when Iron Man and Captain America are first at odds, and Iron Man is all like, all that alien **** is going to **** on us, and Cap is like, "So we'll lose, together", and it just gives me a Captain America boner. I know it's dumb and cheesy, but it's everything that superheroes should be.

I never thought I'd be a Cap fan, but here I am, with a bunch of unread Captain America comics on my computer that I fully intend to read. I could give a **** about my country, but my country's superhero has my full allegiance.

This we can agree on. I really never thought I would be all that crazy about him after seeing The First Avenger, but his character just keeps getting better and better to the point I was 110% team Cap for Civil War.

He's everything that Superman SHOULD be, but without the contrived conviction, and with a far more interesting storyline of being a fish out of water. Who cares if some guy who's been raised as a Kansas American for his entire life turns out to be an alien? But some guy who spent the first two to three decades of his life in the first half of the 20th century all of a sudden finding himself in modern times? That's fascinating character study.

I also remember reading some Avengers comics a little while back where they talked about the "Captain America affect". There's just something about the man that makes you want to be better. Chris Evans as Captain America is cheesy, but he really does do that. He makes me want to be a better person, even if his example is unrealistic. There is a power to that that can't be realized with the hilarious but cynical worldview of Iron Man. There's just something magical about Cap. Something that can't truly be deconstructed no matter how hard Alan Moore or Mark Millar tries. Something that's rooted deep inside every human being. I suppose it's that most basic instinct of altruism. That's Cap.

For sure, and I think while at times a patriotic American superhero might come off as cheesy or lame on the surface, it just works so well with his character. He really is the type of hero you aspire to be as a child when you're running around, playing by yourself. It only helps that Chris Evans is a total hunk, and sells it so well.

That scene in Age of Ultron when he's chopping wood at three times the speed of Tony Stark with half as much effort, he's like, the 80's Hulk Hogan of Marvel.
