The Avengers: Age of Ultron: Aftermath

I saw the Age of Ultron today. It's Mother's Day here in America, and that is what my mom asked for. And I was totally not going to argue with her. I loved it! I also cried torrentially. It was beautiful, and amazing, and fantastic, and so so marvelous.

WARNING: THE FOLLOWING BIT OF THE POST CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!! Sorry, not sorry.

My favorite part of the movie was probably when they were at Clint's house. The emotion was so raw and real here. I loved that Clint has a story. In the first Avengers, he didn't get a lot of character development because he spent about half the movie being possessed by Loki. Hawkeye has now been moved up to my second favorite Avenger. Iron Man is still the top! I really loved that this film was able to hit many emotional notes. There was a lot of humor, and a lot of sadness. I cried through the whole bit at Clint's house because... He had a wife and kids, and he still became an Avenger, he still worked for SHIELD. He had kids when he was possessed by Loki, and he knew how close he had come tidying, and he still went back. He still fought to save the world. And then when he was in the building with the holes in the wall with Scarlet Witch. Oh my god, he had a family and he knew he might die, and he still did his job. I just can't.
Tony... Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony. I love you, but you sure are STUPID! Why the heck did this seem like a good idea?! And man oh man, right now you're in your office thinking about what you did wrong, not sleeping again, and beating yourself up for creating Ultron. Tony, Tony, Tony... You didn't create Ultron, Ultron created himself. Sure, you got pretty damn close, but you didn't make him. The gem combined with Ultron's own consciousness to override JARVIS. Sure, you did a whole lot of things wrong, but don't blame yourself for everything. You may have been stupid, and deliberately ignoring facts, but you weren't trying to create something that would destroy the world. Tony, Tony, Tony...
And then there's Bruce. And, there's nothing else I have to say. Well, slight lie. Bruce, I love you and you are beating yourself up over too much. Yes, the Hulk kills people, and he was out of control, but that doesn't mean you can't live with other people. You aren't going to kill everyone you touch, and you would be okay. And you just left poor Natasha.
Oh my god, I cried so much over Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. "You didn't see it coming." And the bit at the end when Scarlet Witch pulls out Ultron's heart. LOVE!
I have no more words.
Okay, I just want to say that I had no trouble comprehending what was happening, but some of my friends had said they were confused at some bits. I totally loved it, particularly the bits where Vision was created, the visions in Cap, Thor's and Nat's minds in the bit with Andy Serkis, and the bits at Clint's house. And cow that is holy, I love them all!!!!!!!! And I'm sad that not all of them are going to be in Infinity War, but you can't have everything.

SPOILERS OVER!

Sorry about that, but I just couldn't do the movie justice without spoilers. Now some pictures! YAY!
(I suppose the pictures might have spoilers too, but it shouldn't give away the whole plot, just some characters.)



























And that's it!

Chorus of the Day!

I've got no strings
So I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
They've got strings
But you can see
There are no strings on me
