[three characters looking awfully bland] The protagonists:
- Annoying goody two shoes leader who's a paragon of virtue
- Nerdy scientist with no backstory who keeps doing poor puns
- Super bland dude who's an obvious self insert for the writer
- People die because they're "good" and refuse to break the rules
- They win battles through plot armor and the power of friendship
[a cool looking grizzled character smokes a cigar in a spaceship interior, a foot up on the controls, while a spaceship blasts a mega laser outside in space] The super evil antagonist:
- Played by the most charismatic actor available on the market
- Keeps doing the coolest looking things (but you must hate it)
- Has the coolest secret lair and his henchmen love him
- Is named Adolf McMurder and genocides with a smile
- Says an awesome one liner before murdering an orphan
[a nerdy dude in flannel points at a storyboard of the two previous images] The naive screenwriter:
- At least this time he's not writing women, phew
- Has too much trust in his audience's media literacy - About to give the super evil antagonist yet another zingy one liner
- Surely if we show him killing an orphan the audience will hate him
- Right, guys?… Right??…
Killmonger, we miss you so much...
I don't. His arguments sucked.
I feel like they made Thanos’ argument completely nonsensical as well just so the audience would hate him.
That's why I prefer Ultron. He just wanted to destroy humanity cuz we're stupid. No bullshit, just hatred. GOATED.
A villain I can really relate to.
Ah yes the AM response to humanity. Do you think Ultron would've kept the avengers around to fuck with them? I think he has done that in some comics.
Ultron looked at I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream and said "Hold my beer."
I think he would only keep Tony alive to torture him for eternity, since he was the Avenger he hated the most; he didn't really care about the others.
The thing is, unlike AM, Ultron is capable of doing much more with himself than just “being,” which makes his hatred of humanity more like, "Oh, these people are so stupid. And they want to control me? Nah, I'd better wipe them out and start from scratch, I'm sure I'll do something better,“ while AM is more like, ”Why did you create me and give me consciousness but not the ability to feel and experience my existence!? I hate you, I HATE YOU!"
They should have kept his comic motivations. He became a god and killed half the universe to try (and fail) to get laid.
