The Age of Ultron is here!
Im so excited about this that I just purpled my pants and Hulksmashed a filing cabinet.
You, dear readers and true believers, may be feeling similarly excited and having comparable experiences.
Avengers: Age of Ultronis the sequel to 2012sThe Avengers.
Those aforementioned standalones andGuardians of the Galaxyhave kept up the entertainment and the ongoing story arcs sinceThe Avengers.
This is all very important and exhilarating.
Its the humanism, and not the superhuman facets, thats responsible for Marvels soaring artistic and commercial success.
We care about these characters because they have charismatic personalities and because they bleed (metaphorically and literally).
Each character in the crack (cracked?)
troop secures our sympathy and absolute support within about a minute of screentime.
The villains, supporting cast and incidental characters are exactly the same.
There are no cardboard cut-outs and lazy stock roles in this Cinematic Universe.
For proof, note the fact that the soundtrack is the Awesome Mix Vol.
To quote Bruce Lee inEnter the Dragon, We need emotional content.
I love these fictional super-folk.
