One of the biggest, most anticipated films in the Disney
domain right now is in the Marvel universe. On October 22nd, 2014,
Marvel released the first teaser trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron. On the
first of this year, they released the second teaser trailer and on January 12th,
2015, the first full trailer was released.
The thing that I think we’ve all been wondering though is
about how they are going to bring the characters back. How will these
characters have changed because of the way their individual movies ended,
particularly Ironman 3 and Captain America: The Winter Soldier?
*SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN IRONMAN 3*
At the end of Ironman 3, Tony no longer has the arc reactor
in his chest and he destroyed all of thesuits he created. I’m not going to lie
to you, it did break my heart more than a little bit when he removed the arc
reactor because it felt like it made him less Ironman than he was before. There
really is no way to make him any less him, no matter what he does. So when I
saw the new giant suit in the trailer, I was pretty pumped. That’s not saying
too much though I suppose because it doesn’t take too much to get me pumped
about any of my fandoms, especially Marvel.
Moving on to Captain America, our beloved Steve is battered,
broken, and bruised after his fighting scene with Bucky, a.k.a. The Winter
Soldier, loosing his shield (or so we think), and falling out of the plane to
what appears to be certain death, but we all know that that simply wouldn’t
happen. Just when all hope seems lost, we see Bucky pulling Steve out of the
water onto dry land, giving us the slightest bit of encouragement that Bucky
isn’t all gone and that he does truly remember Steve and still cares about him.
I don’t know about you, but for me, May 1st can’t
come fast enough. The amount of fangirling that has been shared and that is to
be shared with my friends is immense and it will be beautiful. There’s nothing
like going to the theater to see a movie that you’ve been looking forward to
for so long. Then when it’s over, you feel complete and broken and blissful and
yet dismal because it’s ended and now you have to look for something else to
look forward to, all at the same time. Nevertheless, it’s worth it all the same
because it’s an experience you get the pleasure of sharing with friends and
family and even strangers. All of who
have a love and respect for the actors and directors and everything that went
into creation this masterpiece that brings so many together.
