Open Thread: Avengers Age of Ultron

We've probably all seen Age of Ultron at this point. You've probably all moved onto Mad Max (which looks and sounds amazing) and Tomorrowland (which looks amazing but sounds disappointing) by now, but I haven't, ergo this post! I saw it last weekend and I've been thinking about it a lot since. I'd like to read people's thoughts on the latest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's a pretty solid popcorn movie but I also think it will prove to be one of the better and often argued over entries in the current Marvel canon. Below are some starting points on the film and MCU in general.

Spoilers for all Marvel films up to now can be expected in the comments! Please, if you've seen any of the leaked set pics from the new Captain America, keep it under wraps for now. I've been trying to avoid them for the most part, although sometimes a rare small pic will slip under the radar.

• The trailer for Ant Man
• SPADER!ULTRON: Y/Y?
• The seemingly controversial Nat/Bruce relationship
• Bruce and Tony: are they wholly responsible for Ultron's behavior?
• Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch!
• Hawkeye's surprising back story, so surprising almost none of the Avengers knew about it.
• Could this be the most religiously loaded Marvel film to date?
• How do the events of this film shape the MCU and how SHIELD/the Avengers operate?
• Tony's special big shiny suit - yeah, that one
• Thor in the bath scene, also known as "why is this happening? am I on drugs right now?"
• Anyone else disappointed the GOTG didn't make a cameo?
• DAT MID-CREDITS SCENE
