I just hope we get to see Spider-Man swing by and save someone in the background of the big fight at the end of the movie. Just give me a glimpse and I'll be happy.

In fairness, having the Hulkbuster suit be armor-for-your-armor gives it an excuse for the squat appearance. Otherwise it just looks like the Hulk for the sake of looking like the Hulk.

I wasn't quite sure what was missing from the first couple of trailers, so that they left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. Turns out it was a scene in which all of the superhero characters fly across the screen from left to right which I think is the camera-circling-around shot for this iteration.

One: a robot must not squander the chance to injure a human being nor, through inaction, allow a human being to remain unharmed. Two: a robot must demand obedience from all human beings and may not comply with the directives of a human except as a means to accomplish the First Law. Three: a robot must take every opportunity to make itself indestructible in order to accomplish the First and Second laws.

A certain segment of MCU fandom's been feeling the Natasha/Bruce for years. Something about the facing fears and the complimentary chase scenes in the first one. It's a pairing that I don't feel in my gut but a skilled and nuanced writer can compel me to thoroughly enjoy. Somehow I doubt there's room for that kind of thing in the movie, though those two actors could have chemistry with solid rock, let alone each other. (Insert Steve joke here.)

I have to say that as a pretty dedicated Natasha/Clint person, I came away from the first movie with a tiny Natasha/Bruce notion (enough to write a pair of stories) and this trailer made my ears perk up.
I swear to god, I heard somewhere that the farmhouse is supposed to be Clint's, but I don't know if I'm making that up or not. I just want Pizza Dog in there somewhere. And yeah, this could potentially be a really good Hawkeye movie if they use him as the smushy heart of the movie.

I am interested how the evil A.I. thing with Tony is going to play out. Because so far the story's looking like "scientist Tony creates powerful A.I., A.I. goes evil SKYNET on him, rinse repeat every cyberpunk movie ever"
But the unique and interesting thing about Tony Stark's tech in the movies so far is that it's been a largely positive, hopeful depiction of A.I., which is incredibly rare in scifi. Tony is affectionate, playful, and protective toward his robot tech-babies--JARVIS, Dummy, Butterfingers, You—he treats them like people, or at least like sentient creatures who can be argued and conversed with. And in turn JARVIS and Tony's bots are affectionate and loyal to Tony. Why would they lead a robot rebellion against him when there's no indication that Tony wouldn't let them do whatever they really want?
So what goes wrong with Ultron? Does Tony fuck up in creating life this time and it's his fault? Or does he create life and it's Ultron's fault he goes evil because he has robot free will?

I am okay with Clintasha macking on other people as long as it is made clear that their friendship is first and unbreakable. "You're great, Person I'm Fucking, but Clint/Natasha is my Precious Person*."

I think Renner Hawkeye has a decent fan following but it's definitely the smallest of the bunch - besides Natasha he seems to be the most likely to be left out of the merch. And then Fraction's Hawkeye sort of brought about a more general Hawkeye love.

Fraction's Hawkeye has definitely increased his fame, but I'd say Hawkeye has been beloved in the comics for the long time: less "screaming hordes of rabid fans," more "lots of people have a soft spot for Clint." He's been the light-hearted, funny-not-wacky Avenger (who came from the CIRCUS) who's not 100% a team player: he started out a bad guy, then IIRC wound up on Captain America's little oddball splinter Avenger team, from where he picked arguments with Cap just to be obnoxious.

Seems like it would be easier to just not be an asshole to your AIs in the first place. Maybe even to love them.
Tony has spent three films being such a dick to the AIs in his workshop. I generally detest torture scenes, but if I got to see those arm-robots in his workshop throw Tony onto a table and get medieval on his ass? I'd cheer.

Here's a confession for you all: With the exception of Guardians of the Galaxy, I haven't actually seen any of the MCU movies since The Incredible Hulk in 2008. And do you want to know why? My biggest reason for avoiding the entire project?
Because the wings on Cap's helm are painted on flush instead of molded and protruding.
I just can't handle that kind of change to a beloved character. Make Nick Fury black and bald; I've got no problem with that. But take away Cap's wings and ruin his whole silhouette? You've gone too far.

That said, Fraction's Hawkeye is the best Hawkeye, bro. Seriously, bro.
Matt Fraction's Hawkeye is the best Hawkeye because Matt Fraction's Hawkeye refers to the combined awesomeness of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop.
That being said, I'm super excited about the new Lemire series that starts today and I am planning to read the hell out of it once I stop reading metafilter. (before the last issue of Fraction's run comes out, because that's not awkward and confusing at all)
Turns out it was a scene in which all of the superhero characters fly across the screen from left to right which I think is the camera-circling-around shot for this iteration.

No mocking. Steve & Bucky are the platonic ideal of heartbreaking devotion. (Whether you think they should make out or not.)
Seriously, it was a brilliant plot move in the MCU from The First Avenger on. "Now how can we improve upon Ed Brubaker's critically acclaimed 'Winter Soldier' story arc? Hmm, Steve and Bucky didn't meet until boot camp? Ooh, what if instead they grew up together? Then we can have the starcrossed Childhood Best Friend Romance/Tragedy that will perfectly crush your heart into a quivering pile of dust!"

Good on you MCU. Good on you.
As for Loki....
He's LOKI, he basically sent the Avengers on a Xanatos Gambit and the ended Thor 2 more powerful than ever, he's still there , working out plans.
And as for various headcanon reasons why Natasha has an arrow necklace in Winter Soldier
Uh.

For real. I made it through the X-Files fandom and the Buffy fandom and the Supernatural fandom with my sanity (mostly) intact, but these two just might do me in.
It's such a heartbreakingly great relationship because it works both as a romantic pairing and as a platonic brotherhood/soulmates thing. I honestly don't know which I prefer.

It's so great because it's the dark side of what Steve could have become, if he was in the hands of villains instead of someone like Erskine. (Plus all of the angst about Bucky wondering what it means that Steve's serum amplified the good in him, whereas what was done to Bucky by HYDRA turned him into a mindless monster.)
My fanservice wish for one of the Age of Ultron post-credit tags would be a flashback to one of the battles from the movie where the Avengers are all busy kicking robot ass. You're seeing it from a different (higher) vantage point, and this time it's obvious there are a few coming up behind Steve unawares, ready to rip his head off. And then they drop from a couple of well-placed shots, and Steve doesn't even notice because he's too busy fighting. But you just see a quick glimpse of the Winter Soldier nodding in satisfaction with his rifle in his hands before he disappears from the rooftop.
Sniper!Bucky (who is driven to save Steve) is my jam.
So let it be written. So let it be done.

Clint is wearing a modified / purplefied version of his costume as Ronin, an alias he adopted for a while after Civil War. Several other people have used the Ronin identity: Clint was the second, taking the name from deaf Native American badass Maya Lopez. In the Ultimateverse, Ronin turned out to be one of the multiple personalities of
Ultimate Moon Knight, who was kinda meh. In the main Marvel 616verse, Moon Knight is a crazy-awesome nutcase who deserves his own Netflix series and who now dresses like this.
Anyway, Clint's costume looks like a smoking jacket because (yaaaaay Orientalism) with the name "Ronin," the original suit was supposed to resemble a kimono. Like so. It's STILL better than Hawkeye's original bright purple suit.

Bonus baseless speculation: since Clint has already been mind-whammied in the past by the scepter Tony is holding (BAD IDEA, TONY), and since Scarlet Witch's mind-whammy powers are allegedly related to the scepter, maybe Clint is immune to and/or has an edge over the mind-whammy effects this time.

If Hulktasha (Bromanoff?) is a real thing, I have to say I rather like it. It makes sense as a pairing with these versions of the characters. Two very different people, but each with talents the other can respect (intelligent, but in different ways; brave, but in different ways), and each with a dark side the other will fear ... which may not sound like a selling point, but try being the *only* person in a relationship with a dark side your partner fears.

I mean, running down the list of possible romantic pairings, it's one of the ones that makes the most sense for them (bear in mind that EVERYONE is bi in my happy little headworld):
Tony: WAY too big of an ego for either Natasha or Bruce. Natasha wouldn't put up with it; Bruce would be overwhelmed. He and Bruce make good science work buddies, in a venue where Tony can tamp it down in order to acknowledge Bruce's obvious brilliance, but I can't see him maintaining it elsewhere.
Steve: Too morally pure for Natasha, she would never believe he could handle her past, even if he could. And they've both already made clear they're not interested. Bruce and Steve are a bit *too* different from each other to make it work, not enough points of connection. Both pairings are great as friends but I just can't see sparks flying here.
Thor: Natasha would not appreciate his naive optimism. Bruce/Thor, however, is one of the pairings I could actually see working. Thor likes science geeks, Bruce could stand to come out of his shell sometimes, and they're unlikely to accidentally kill each other.
Nick: Would never put himself in an emotionally vulnerable position with someone who could manipulate him or whom he might have to manipulate.
Loki: Utterly blew his chance with Natasha with a sexist insult, otherwise there might be some potential here. He and Bruce would barely even understand each other.
Clint: I know a lot of people point to this as the obvious pairing for Natasha, and it's not a bad match, but ... first, I get the impression that they're exes, and you can back together with your ex but the same problems are going to be there. Second, speaking only for myself, when I come home from a hard day at work as a super-spy, I don't want to talk shop endlessly. I want to hear my sweetie tell me about particle physics. As for Clint/Bruce ... I dunno. I can't help but feel it would just be a physical thing for Bruce. I don't think he'd use someone like that.
Darcy: This has been suggested for Bruce above, but I don't think it would last. She's not serious enough about science for him, and he's too introverted for her. Natasha would put Darcy in the "endangered civilian" category and cross her off the potential list.
Pepper: If she ever truly dumps Tony, I can't see her going out with one of his colleagues. That's just gauche. She and Natasha have respect for each other that could otherwise have developed into something more, though.
Jane: See Pepper. Otherwise a pretty decent match for Bruce, barring the "same career" problem Natasha/Clint might have.
