Love the show, been watching for 26 Months!!! been through all phases with you guys and can't wait to see what the future holds for my favourite TH-cam channel
Vasanth Subramanian If its you who asked the first question. Episode 19 wasn't the final episode of AoS Season 2. There are 3 episodes more to go and i'm exited to see them =D
Great episode guys!!! The finale of Agents of Shield Season 2 is in 2 weeks not this past week John. There is 2 episodes left in Season 2. That episode that referenced to Avengers Age of Ultron was not the 2nd Season Finale.
Totally understand the logic with not doing spoiler reviews for bad movies, but at the same time it would be fun to see Schnepp especially ranting about a garbage movie!
What's John talking about? Coulsen passed information to Maria Hill regarding the location of the scepter who passed it on to the Avengers which leads to the opening scene of the movie.
Aaron Hernandez AoS isn't a "shit show" ... I can understand when people didn't like the first season, but especially the final episode of season 1, the "crossover" with Cap 2 and the whole season 2 is really good, with the fact that they started with the Inhumans
Yeah I'm 18 as well and even though I did in fact grow up watching the prequel's . When My parent's showed me the original trilogy that's when I knew I loved Star war's.
***** Yeah I agree with you bro, I'm so looking forward to the force awaken's also. The new star war's movies are going to make our generation get into the star war's mania. By the end of next year you will see much more teen's and younger people into stars wars than are already
I loved Avengers: Age of Ultron. It was more Emotional, more Deeper and Darker. I loved Ultron as well, with all his kinks and quirks, mirroring stark in a way. Also, "If you get hit, hit back. If you get killed, walk it off". God, I love Joss Whedon.
***** I think your right as far as joss' films go but what about films like the inhumans, which is being heavily focused on with daisy Johnson right now in the series. If this whole universe is connected, then it would only make sense that the events currently going on in AOS right now would have a direct effect on the inhumans and possibly even Captain Marvel.
Nicolas J Salazar Probably not, they keep away from everything that might be used in the movies, they mentioned 'elders' but we are most probably never going to see them in the series (if by elders they even meant Black Bolt and others, as maybe they are even higher in the hierarchy) Like with Coulson telling Lady Sif not to tell Thor that he is alive they are taking all the precautions not to get in the way of the movies.
I didn't watch a single Avengers AOU trailer. Just saw the movie and had such a great experience. I didn't know what would happen next. It was so great. Try it.
One of my favorite villain deaths is movies is Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? He was such a creepy villain, and he went out in a very satisfying way.
i saw very little of the Age of Ultron promos, i don't even recall seeing any trailers or teaser trailers. i watched the first showing of opening day at my local AMC. Age of Ultron is now my 2nd favorite Marvel movie :)
When Christoph Waltz shoots Leonardo DiCaprio in Django Unchained, greatest villain death scene to me. The tension is so built up from the amazing dialogue between them that you're just begging Christoph to do it!
I was introduced to Star Wars through the prequels Phantom Menace was the first movie I ever watched. The prequels will always mean a lot to me because they were a big part of my childhood. I didn't appreciate the originals until I was in high school. I have the best of both the prequels are nostalgia to me and I love the originals.
John I liked your 3 picks but I think you should add 7 more like: 4. Ursula from The Little Mermaid, 5. Gaston from Beauty and the Beast, My number six I have problem with because as comic nerd I don't like seeing comic villains killed off but that being said, 6. Jack Nicholson's Joker in Batman (1989) 7. Darkness from Labyrinth (dam I would love to see Fantasy movie shot in that type of cinematography again someday soon) 8. Gollum LOTR: Return of the King, 9. Jabba the Hut Return of the Jedi (not the big bad of the the movie but by far the most satisfying) 10. Unichron Transformers the Movie even though today I could probably speculate a better sequence but once that music ( You Got The Touch,... You Got The Power) hits and the nostalgia starts flowing I just don't give a dam.
I'm with John, the T1000 death is one of the most iconic. Not to mention that when he's transforming, you see it take form of all the people he's killed. It's so creepy. Proud to call T2 my favorite film of all time.
i love hearing campea's thoughts but have you ever considered adding one more amc team member with john to do these weekend mailbags because i would like to see kristian, ellis or schnepp exchanging opinions with campea on the mailbag.
Alan Rickman's reaction was genuine. They were going to drop him on the count of 3, but instead, they dropped him on 2, so the look of terror on his face was real terror :D
Bollywood films to watch: "My Name is Khan," "3 Idiots," "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara," "Dhoom: 2," "Lagaan," "Dil Chahta Hai," "Jab Tak Hai Jaan," "Barfi," "A Wednesday," "Wake Up Side," "Kal Ho Naa Ho," "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.," "Lage Raho Munna Bhai," "Veer-Zaara," "Special 26," "Don (2006)," "Don 2," "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani," "Ram-Leela," "Main Hoon Na," and finally, "Om Shanti Om." There are many more, but these are some that immediately come to mind.
Priya gupta Yeah, but those don't capture the spirit of Bollywood films. Those look like Hollywood drama films. The uniqueness of Bollywood lies with its commercial cinema. I personally like Anurag Kashyap and can't wait for Bombay Velvet.
Lagaan,My Name is Khan,A Wednesday,Wake Up Sid ,Special 26 Were not commercial movies bro :) Lagaan was supposed to be a flop, amir khan produced it, took a risk on it. Your list is a mixture of good films and shit Masala bollywood films
Priya gupta Actually, ma'am, besides 'A Wednesday,' the others were commercial. And I'm not fighting with you so please calm down. I like those films and just because you thought some of those were "shit films," doesn't mean that I should believe that too. It's subjective, not objective.
Not completely one way. They introduced the term "enhanced people" in Agents of SHIELD and used that term in Age of Ultron. But as far as story goes there hasn't been any real influence that's true. So probably only small easter egg type of cross overs FROM the TV shows. But I wouldn't cross out the idea completely that they could bring some story plot or characters from the TV into future movies. After all they're all under Marvel so they can do whatever they want. If there are good ideas and characters to bring over, then I don't see why not.
Yic17 Gaming I honestly don't see why there is so much fuss about it. While everything is set in the same universe, there is serious effort on Marvel's part to ensure that you don't have to watch everything to understand what is going on. The only movies I consider absolute "must see" are for me "The Avengers", "Winter Soldier" and "Age of Ultron"...all the other you can skip without having missed out something really important. And really, why should they make the TV show a requirement for the movies? That wouldn't be smart at all. But that doesn't make AoS in any way less relevant for those who do want the complete picture. In a way AoS is the most important part, because that's where everything is tied together.
swanpride I don't disagree with you at all. I think it's smart that people don't NEED to watch the TV shows to get the movies. And I don't think it's a good idea to make anything a "requirement" either. However, I still think it would be cool and rewarding for those that do watch the TV shows to see characters from them (Daredevil, Quake/Skye etc) showing up on the big screens eventually. Even if just a small cameo that would be awesome. Also, I was saying that I wouldn't rule out the possibility that they COULD have some storyline from the TV shows crossing over into the movies since they all belong to Marvel. If they really want to make it happen it's still possible. Of course when you see in the films you won't NEED to know what happened before but they CAN actually make them directly connected - if they really want to coordinate the writers from both TV & film together in order to give the TV watchers an extra sense of reward.
Agreed, I think his humor kinda' ruined it for me. I'm not as threatened by a guy who keeps making jokes and gets so sad when his allies leave him. I didn't like Loki as the main villain either.
Timppa 3 lol they made Ultron a funny character? Damn,everything in MCU is comedic even villains....i had so much hope in Ultron,that he will be first good villain in MCU,yet again i heard we had MEH character....Im afraid Thanos the big bad will be the same,MCU have so many movies and 0 good memorable villains,even Loki is not that great for me
Dionizos666 He was still good(best in the MCU) and menacing from time to time, but yeah, he does make couple of jokes that don't fit in my opinion. They also altered his voice to be more scary for the trailers. There is a good reason why Ultron makes jokes though, so I don't think they will have Thanos doing the same.
It takes years of scripting and storyboarding and casting and scouting and pre-production to make a movie. A TV show has a couple of weeks. So clearly the movies will always lead the way and TV will adapt accordingly.
@33:00 the bollywood image is from 2 different movies - the female (deepika padukone) is from Dum Maaro Dum and the male (shahrukh khan) is from an event called IPL
I agree with John about the Age of Ultron promotion including teasers and trailers. I have had Avengers fatigue for the last 3 weeks, and I LOVED the first Avengers film. So I had to see it last night on opening night or I would have been so sick of it if I had waited I might not have gone to see it in the theater at all.
Did you know in the Die Hard death scene of Hans Gruber, he didn't know he was going to fall. The director would let him fall on the count of three and they dropped him on two for an authentic expression.
True Lies had a few awesome death scenes, bathroom fight drowning in the toilet, the chick in the limo falling off the bridge, the bad guy getting shot with the missile at the end.
John, I really thought you were going with Darth Vader for your number 1 death! Good call with Hans Gruber! Could Gollum, in Lord of the Rings be considered a villain? Because if he can, then his death would be my number 1.
But the original Star Wars trilogy does not require the viewer to have previously seen the prequel movies... Does that mean that the Star Wars prequels are not actually prequels? No, Mr. Campea, I respectfully disagree with your definition! Because very much like this Agents of Shield episode (btw: I haven't actually seen the episode, so I can't comment on how much this resembles an actual prequel for AoU), the Star Wars prequels were written and produced a long time AFTER the release of the original trilogy. They offer more insight into the events that lead up to the original movies, but aren't in anyway necessary in order to understand the other three, hell they even spoil several plot twists that made The Empire Strikes Back so shocking back in the day. As long as an episode of a TV show or a movie is designed to fit in front of another movie, it can be considered a prequel.
Kevora92 I think they are more like tie in episodes for the viewers of the show to be prepared for the movies. (And help for those who likes it all to be in continuity).
Kevora92 To add to what you're saying, aren't all PREQUELS technically designed to "fit into" the original film? I mean, that's literally what makes them a prequel, they are made after the fact.
Realistically the TV shows will always have an easier time to adjust to the Movies than the other way around. The weekly episodic pace leaves time to constantly plan for each movie coming out. The budget for the movies is another reason that the TV shows should follow the movies's lead. The movies' goal to reach many more people is another reason for them to lead the plot of the TV shows. AoS tied in to AoU with just a short simple scene that probably did not cost too much verses having to time in the TV show to the movie.
John, the dead of Hans in Die Hard wasn't a great performance for Alan Rickman, the director drop him without telling him, so the reaction he make is real. For me that actually make the movie even better.
AMC Theatres 26:26 Best villian death in a movie. My own first immediate though, after Ashley announced the question, was also 'Die Hard'...I mean Hans Gruber...what a perfect scene that was...he was terrifying and a menacing danger till his end...and Alan Rickman, he played that role of a highly intelligent and fast adapting terrorist so perfect, only Philip Seymour Hoffman as Owen Davian, Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa, Heath Ledger as Joker and perhaps Gert Fröbe as Auric Goldfinger could be compared to Hans Gruber in some aspects, but you only get the whole package with Alan Rickmans performance, in my opinion.
anyone else notice how in ironman 3 war machine turned into iron patriot, then just ditched the outfit in avengers age of ultron? anyone else remember how at the end of ironman 3 tony blew up pretty much all of his suits and quit being ironman? then in the beginning of avengers age of ultron tony is already fighting with the avengers, without any explanation on why and how he came back?
I agree the vision quest for Thor was out of no where but I Love how the Avengers break apart and figure things out in there own way. He goes to the scientist to figure out all of the mythological stuff because Thor "comes from a realm where science and magic is the same thing" Hulk was Amazing, Ruffalo went on a Bill Bixby level. He wasn't funny but he was so emotionally engaging.
The movie did reaffirm events that happened in the t.v show. Fury not being director Shield taken down by hydra I'm pretty sure they are other references in the movie, will need to watch avengers again to pickup on subtle lines
At the beginning of The Age Of Ultron, the Avengers are in Sokovia BECAUSE the Agents of Shield directed them there. THEY found Strucker, and relayed that information to Maria Hill. That's a pretty direct connection. Just because the Avengers don't know that Coulson is alive, doesn't invalidate the premise that he's still alive in the movie universe. Comics do that kind of thing ALL THE TIME...If the character is beloved, they will re-appear. I don't even think QUICKSILVER is dead! For all we know, he'll end up hiding with the Inhumans... like he did in the comics.
John says that the SHIELD episode can't be a prequel because people (including myself) have seen the movie before it aired and didn't need the episode to understand it. Well, by that logic, the Star Wars prequels are also not prequels. You don't need prequels to understand something, you need it to understand better. There's no such thing as "one way" connection. If it's the same universe and the show canonically establishes that Coulson was the responsible for finding Loki's scepter location and therefore he sort of caused the events in Age of Ultron, you don't need more connection than that. But if you want some, well, Dr. List, Strucker's right arm, that appears in Winter Soldier and AoU has shown up in Agents of SHIELD, also, SHIELD introduced the term "enhanced", used a lot in Ultron. I also highly suspect Sam L. Jackson will be guest starring again in the show, because he does says during the movie he's got help from "some old friends" and I think it's Coulson and Gonzales.
VPTurnerBR That's kinda true, but didn't they say in the movie that they were shutting hydra bases one by one or something? (as an explanation for those who don't watch AoS) Anyway, for us who watch the show there is a visible connection, but it's not like they said: Hey, Coulson sent us the coordinates, Coulson is alive, let's hang out with him when this is all finished.
Agents of Shield is basically a substandard tv show that hangs off the coat tails of the Marvel movies. Without the success of the movies the show would have been cancelled after 1 season.
Far as the Muppets movie goes...ABC is working at bringing The Muppets Show back to TV so not sure how long it'll be till we get a movie, but so long as the pilot goes good we'll be getting them on TV soon :) Plus it's supposed to be for more adult audience since they seem to know most of the fans are grown ups hehe.
Yep. Originally they filmed in, as John puts it, a converted storage closet in an AMC theater, then they moved to the stream.tv studios, now they have their own studio and multiple shows.
John! Hans Gruber/Alan Rickman was NOT ACTING! In interviews he has said that the director had given him instruction that they would count to three and then let him go. BUT! The director decided to be sneaky and let him go on one! That was ACTUAL shock!
I love Hans Grubers death. But Alan Rickman does actually not act when he falls, what you see is real fear. Alan Rickman was supposed to fall on three, but the security people let go of him on two. So that is why it looks so real, because it is real. Another reason to love Die Hard.
For some reason I don't see as one way streak. I see MCU and MCU Television universe all connected. Shield's downfall was due to the events of Captain America The Winter Soldier that affected the Shield Show, Also regarding the inhumans storyline you can say that Agents of Shield and Age of Ultron are the launching point to an Inhumans Film. Dr. List who was first introduced in the post-credit scene of The Winter Soldier also bridged the connection of the inhuman's experimentation between Age of Ultron and Agents of Shield. I feel everything is connected.
I must nitpick a bit about John's prequel talk. As I see it the definition of a prequel is when you make backstory (A) for something (B) after that thing has been released. If A is made before B then it's not a prequel to begin with, then B is a sequel to A. So talking about prequels already directly says that it's made afterwards. Also I don't agree that you needed A to understand B in order for A to be a prequel. The Star Wars prequels aren't at all necessary to understand the original trilogy.
I would actually go with the first Terminator's demise, but Hans Gruber and Wicked Witch is up there, no doubt. But there's that nasty, nasty Emperor Papaltine who got tossed over the edge by -Darth Vader- Anakin Skywalker in ROTJ.
Good Trailer- X-Men Days of Future Past, Captain America The Winter Soldier- Didn't show you anything "Spoilerific" for the movie or ruin any surprises. Small glimpses of cool scenes to expect Bad Trailers- Amazing Spider-Man 2, Avenger's- Shows way to much and a lot of the ending... Hence Hulk catching Iron Man or Spidey jumping at a falling Gwen...
As to your thoughts about the TV show not influencing the movies, I would be curious as to what you think will happen when the Inhumans film comes along considering how they are introducing some of those characters through the show?
***** Ahh... so I take it that doesn't include any of the ones introduced on the tv show so far? Admittedly, I don't read the comics, so would have no clue.
AMC Theatres I never saw this as a job i just thought it was something you all did in your free time for fun, i would love to just sit around and talk about movies/tv shows all day and get paid for it so yes that is my question.
***** But we wouldn't get paid for it, and from what ive learn so far they do. I was just interested cause i always saw this as being something i would love to do just never knew they got paid for it nor do i even know were to look for a job like this, so does AMC pay them or do they get there income from youtube?
Just take a look at all the AMC Movie Talk/Mail bag video thumbnails. 99% of them are comic-book related. It's laughable. Also there should be a drinking game, every time they mention 'MCU'. You'd be drunk in 60 seconds.
deganhardt77 I can sort of see both sides though, the question was more who will be more beloved in the eyes of the fans, and while George made the original trilogy, he also made the prequels and sort of destroyed Indiana Jones 4 aswell. So there's this tarnished reputation that surrounds Lucas from the fans, but if JJ knocks episodes 7 and 9 out of the park, the fans will view him as like the saviour or something. So that's where I think the question is more aiming at. Yeah, George transcended pop culture with Star Wars, but he also crushed everyone's hopes with the prequels, and he also ruined the original trilogy with the special editions. So a lot of fans feel a lot of distain towards George Lucas. That's why I can sort of see the opposing view to John, as well.
Funfact: Alan Rickman got dropped early during filming so his expression looked more surprised when he was falling. He wasn't acting, he actually didn't see it coming haha
I can't see any of the new Star Wars movies beating Empire Strikes Back. I can see some beating New Hope and Return of the Jedi, but not the second one. Empire Strikes Back was so well done and so great, that no future Star Wars installment will ever top it.
Taylor Huston You never know man. There is no such thing as a perfect movie. Lucas also didn't write or direct Empire Strikes Back either. And given that he nearly single handedly also destroyed the franchise, if JJ brings it back to life and makes it anywhere near as good as the original films, I think the fans will view him as The Saviour of Star Wars. Which is why I don't necessarily agree with John's view. Yes, Lucas' films are the reason JJ is even making these films, but that doesn't mean that the fans have to like Lucas more than JJ. He did also make the prequel trilogy and ruined the OT with the special editions. And he pretty much ruined Indie 4 too.... Just to add salt to the wound.
InFiiLtRaTor I'm not saying it was perfect. Even the original trilogy had its problems, despite if hardcore fans will admit it or not. Maybe some will see the new one as better than any of the original movies, but what I'm saying is that to me, Empire Strikes Back holds a dear place in my heart and nothing will ever replace it. It's the same way I see Back to the Future as my all time favorite movie in the world.
He didn't see the finale of Agents of Shield considering it's weeks away, he must have meant the last episode before ultron hit theaters but that wasn't the finale.
on trailers i am 100% confident zach snyder edits his own trailers he has had way too many phenomenal movie trailers(300,watchmen,MOS,BVS) for this to not be true
Will smith as django is very interesting. I respect Jamie foxx but I feel that will has more character. I definitely can see will and Samuel l Jackson in that final scene lol
Allan Rickman's performance was him getting pushed early. Which is why it looked so real.
ThatOnePixel i was about to say the same thing, he was caught off guard.
ThatOnePixel he's said in interviews that that was the first and only time he'd done the fall too.
Love the show, been watching for 26 Months!!! been through all phases with you guys and can't wait to see what the future holds for my favourite TH-cam channel
That wasn't the finale of season 2. We still have 3 more episodes
Exactly.
Colton Roberts I was literally about to type that.
Waiting for the guy the put the time for each question.
Vasanth Subramanian If its you who asked the first question. Episode 19 wasn't the final episode of AoS Season 2. There are 3 episodes more to go and i'm exited to see them =D

What's John talking about? Coulsen passed information to Maria Hill regarding the location of the scepter who passed it on to the Avengers which leads to the opening scene of the movie.
What if Coulson is in a coma and Agents of SHIELD is all a dream?
That would be awesome considering AOS is a shit show
Aaron Hernandez AoS isn't a "shit show" ... I can understand when people didn't like the first season, but especially the final episode of season 1, the "crossover" with Cap 2 and the whole season 2 is really good, with the fact that they started with the Inhumans
Then it must be a nightmare
Fanboys United lmao!
Jaspreet Dhanjan good idea because it sucks so much he can wake up LOL
Yeah I'm 18 as well and even though I did in fact grow up watching the prequel's . When My parent's showed me the original trilogy that's when I knew I loved Star war's.
***** Yeah I agree with you bro, I'm so looking forward to the force awaken's also. The new star war's movies are going to make our generation get into the star war's mania. By the end of next year you will see much more teen's and younger people into stars wars than are already
I loved Avengers: Age of Ultron. It was more Emotional, more Deeper and Darker. I loved Ultron as well, with all his kinks and quirks, mirroring stark in a way.
Also, "If you get hit, hit back. If you get killed, walk it off". God, I love Joss Whedon.
The last episode of shield wasn't the finale
The Hype I know it was a minor detail, but that also bothered me when they were discussing the question
"The bank robbers have taken 7 hostages. Quick we must sing and dance" I was on the floor laughing for a good amount of time. I am still laughing.
***** I think your right as far as joss' films go but what about films like the inhumans, which is being heavily focused on with daisy Johnson right now in the series.

They really did drop rickman surprisingly. He wasn't expecting to be dropped when he did. That expression on his face is real!!!
Warden Norton blowing his brains out in The Shawshank Redemption was pretty gratifying
I was introduced to Star Wars through the prequels Phantom Menace was the first movie I ever watched. The prequels will always mean a lot to me because they were a big part of my childhood.

That is a solid list
Vikas Ahuja Bull shit, man
I would say watch anurag kashyap movies instead.
Dev.D , Gulaal , Gangs of Wasseypur 1-2 , Ugly
Priya gupta Yeah, but those don't capture the spirit of Bollywood films. Those look like Hollywood drama films. The uniqueness of Bollywood lies with its commercial cinema. I personally like Anurag Kashyap and can't wait for Bombay Velvet.

i thought as a character ultron was very weak , in the trailers he felt more menacing
Agreed, I think his humor kinda' ruined it for me. I'm not as threatened by a guy who keeps making jokes and gets so sad when his allies leave him. I didn't like Loki as the main villain either.
Timppa 3 lol they made Ultron a funny character? Damn,everything in MCU is comedic even villains....i had so much hope in Ultron,that he will be first good villain in MCU,yet again i heard we had MEH character....Im afraid Thanos the big bad will be the same,MCU have so many movies and 0 good memorable villains,even Loki is not that great for me
Timppa 3 totally agree with you.
Timppa 3 loki is good...ultron, not so much
Dionizos666 He was still good(best in the MCU) and menacing from time to time, but yeah, he does make couple of jokes that don't fit in my opinion. They also altered his voice to be more scary for the trailers.
There is a good reason why Ultron makes jokes though, so I don't think they will have Thanos doing the same.
It takes years of scripting and storyboarding and casting and scouting and pre-production to make a movie. A TV show has a couple of weeks. So clearly the movies will always lead the way and TV will adapt accordingly.
@33:00 the bollywood image is from 2 different movies - the female (deepika padukone) is from Dum Maaro Dum and the male (shahrukh khan) is from an event called IPL
I agree with John about the Age of Ultron promotion including teasers and trailers. I have had Avengers fatigue for the last 3 weeks, and I LOVED the first Avengers film. So I had to see it last night on opening night or I would have been so sick of it if I had waited I might not have gone to see it in the theater at all.
This is the best May/ weekend ever.
What happened to the pod cast of Mailbag this weekend? Listen to you every day on my commute to work and hate not being able to do so.
There is a robbery happening and 7 people are taken hostage lets sing and dance.
Hahaha love your expression on that John.
Did you know in the Die Hard death scene of Hans Gruber, he didn't know he was going to fall. The director would let him fall on the count of three and they dropped him on two for an authentic expression.
True Lies had a few awesome death scenes, bathroom fight drowning in the toilet, the chick in the limo falling off the bridge, the bad guy getting shot with the missile at the end.
John, I really thought you were going with Darth Vader for your number 1 death! Good call with Hans Gruber!
Could Gollum, in Lord of the Rings be considered a villain? Because if he can, then his death would be my number 1.
That graphic they were talking about in the end and was from movie krazzy4 and actors are shahrukh khan and priyanka
But the original Star Wars trilogy does not require the viewer to have previously seen the prequel movies... Does that mean that the Star Wars prequels are not actually prequels? No, Mr. Campea, I respectfully disagree with your definition! Because very much like this Agents of Shield episode (btw: I haven't actually seen the episode, so I can't comment on how much this resembles an actual prequel for AoU), the Star Wars prequels were written and produced a long time AFTER the release of the original trilogy. They offer more insight into the events that lead up to the original movies, but aren't in anyway necessary in order to understand the other three, hell they even spoil several plot twists that made The Empire Strikes Back so shocking back in the day.
As long as an episode of a TV show or a movie is designed to fit in front of another movie, it can be considered a prequel.
Kevora92 I think they are more like tie in episodes for the viewers of the show to be prepared for the movies. (And help for those who likes it all to be in continuity).
Kevora92 To add to what you're saying, aren't all PREQUELS technically designed to "fit into" the original film? I mean, that's literally what makes them a prequel, they are made after the fact.
Ryan Purvis Yup, that's actually what I was getting at, I just gave Star Wars as an example. There are countless others like The Hobbit or X-Men. ;)
We get it John, you saw the movie before us...love you guys :)
I'm 14 and i get the Original Trilogy. I completely understand how beloved this movie is now.
Trailers misleading? One of the best (as a joke) is on the Fight Club DVD - a trailer of Fight Club presented as a rom-com. Perfection!
Where's the Age of Ultron spoilers review?:c I want to see you guys geek about Vision! Nice mailbag today:)
Realistically the TV shows will always have an easier time to adjust to the Movies than the other way around. The weekly episodic pace leaves time to constantly plan for each movie coming out. The budget for the movies is another reason that the TV shows should follow the movies's lead. The movies' goal to reach many more people is another reason for them to lead the plot of the TV shows. AoS tied in to AoU with just a short simple scene that probably did not cost too much verses having to time in the TV show to the movie.
John, the dead of Hans in Die Hard wasn't a great performance for Alan Rickman, the director drop him without telling him, so the reaction he make is real. For me that actually make the movie even better.
AMC Theatres 26:26 Best villian death in a movie. My own first immediate though, after Ashley announced the question, was also 'Die Hard'...I mean Hans Gruber...what a perfect scene that was...he was terrifying and a menacing danger till his end...and Alan Rickman, he played that role of a highly intelligent and fast adapting terrorist so perfect, only Philip Seymour Hoffman as Owen Davian, Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa, Heath Ledger as Joker and perhaps Gert Fröbe as Auric Goldfinger could be compared to Hans Gruber in some aspects, but you only get the whole package with Alan Rickmans performance, in my opinion.
anyone else notice how in ironman 3 war machine turned into iron patriot, then just ditched the outfit in avengers age of ultron? anyone else remember how at the end of ironman 3 tony blew up pretty much all of his suits and quit being ironman? then in the beginning of avengers age of ultron tony is already fighting with the avengers, without any explanation on why and how he came back?
I agree the vision quest for Thor was out of no where but I Love how the Avengers break apart and figure things out in there own way. He goes to the scientist to figure out all of the mythological stuff because Thor "comes from a realm where science and magic is the same thing"
Hulk was Amazing, Ruffalo went on a Bill Bixby level. He wasn't funny but he was so emotionally engaging.
The movie did reaffirm events that happened in the t.v show.
Fury not being director
Shield taken down by hydra
I'm pretty sure they are other references in the movie, will need to watch avengers again to pickup on subtle lines
I agree with John about the T1000 death. Its death was so freaky and satisfying.
It was NOT the finale!
At the beginning of The Age Of Ultron, the Avengers are in Sokovia BECAUSE the Agents of Shield directed them there. THEY found Strucker, and relayed that information to Maria Hill. That's a pretty direct connection.
Just because the Avengers don't know that Coulson is alive, doesn't invalidate the premise that he's still alive in the movie universe. Comics do that kind of thing ALL THE TIME...If the character is beloved, they will re-appear.
I don't even think QUICKSILVER is dead! For all we know, he'll end up hiding with the Inhumans... like he did in the comics.
John says that the SHIELD episode can't be a prequel because people (including myself) have seen the movie before it aired and didn't need the episode to understand it. Well, by that logic, the Star Wars prequels are also not prequels. You don't need prequels to understand something, you need it to understand better.
There's no such thing as "one way" connection. If it's the same universe and the show canonically establishes that Coulson was the responsible for finding Loki's scepter location and therefore he sort of caused the events in Age of Ultron, you don't need more connection than that. But if you want some, well, Dr. List, Strucker's right arm, that appears in Winter Soldier and AoU has shown up in Agents of SHIELD, also, SHIELD introduced the term "enhanced", used a lot in Ultron. I also highly suspect Sam L. Jackson will be guest starring again in the show, because he does says during the movie he's got help from "some old friends" and I think it's Coulson and Gonzales.
VPTurnerBR That's kinda true, but didn't they say in the movie that they were shutting hydra bases one by one or something? (as an explanation for those who don't watch AoS) Anyway, for us who watch the show there is a visible connection, but it's not like they said: Hey, Coulson sent us the coordinates, Coulson is alive, let's hang out with him when this is all finished.
Can't wait to see Avengers Age Of Ultron Tonight!!!
Thank guys for your hard work!
I would watch multiple stand alone muppets movies just to see a team up Avengers parody movie. I would be the only to watch them, but I would love it
Agents of Shield is basically a substandard tv show that hangs off the coat tails of the Marvel movies. Without the success of the movies the show would have been cancelled after 1 season.
A little pointless nitpick, but the last episode of Agents of SHIELD was not the season-finale, there are still two more episodes for this season
Far as the Muppets movie goes...ABC is working at bringing The Muppets Show back to TV so not sure how long it'll be till we get a movie, but so long as the pilot goes good we'll be getting them on TV soon :) Plus it's supposed to be for more adult audience since they seem to know most of the fans are grown ups hehe.
I nailed that Hans Grubber too XD
Great villain deaths: the alien mother in Aliens. I was so ready for her to get hers.
I'm a new viewer and I don't know what phase 3 is. Was there a time when this show wasn't this awesome?
Yep. Originally they filmed in, as John puts it, a converted storage closet in an AMC theater, then they moved to the stream.tv studios, now they have their own studio and multiple shows.
the scene of Rickman falling was for real.. he didn't know they were going to make him fall.. though obviosuly it wasn't from a fatal height
Hi AMC love phase 3, I was wondering how to send in applications for your future BOLLYWOOD show? Thx NADINE
Favorite villain death is Frank Nitty getting dropped off the building by Elliott Ness in the Untouchables
Animated movie final results, I am so hyped.
OMG! AMC is also promoting Bollywood Movies! I love this Channel!
***** But question, when it comes to SHIELD, what about the Inhumans? The show is doing the Inhumans origin story before the movie in like 2018
John! Hans Gruber/Alan Rickman was NOT ACTING!
In interviews he has said that the director had given him instruction that they would count to three and then let him go. BUT! The director decided to be sneaky and let him go on one! That was ACTUAL shock!
I love Hans Grubers death. But Alan Rickman does actually not act when he falls, what you see is real fear. Alan Rickman was supposed to fall on three, but the security people let go of him on two. So that is why it looks so real, because it is real.
Another reason to love Die Hard.
I know you don't like the star wars pre quills but I enjoyed them..
That guy was right about trailers, I wish I never saw the 2nd terminator genesis one
For some reason I don't see as one way streak. I see MCU and MCU Television universe all connected. Shield's downfall was due to the events of Captain America The Winter Soldier that affected the Shield Show, Also regarding the inhumans storyline you can say that Agents of Shield and Age of Ultron are the launching point to an Inhumans Film. Dr. List who was first introduced in the post-credit scene of The Winter Soldier also bridged the connection of the inhuman's experimentation between Age of Ultron and Agents of Shield. I feel everything is connected.
I must nitpick a bit about John's prequel talk. As I see it the definition of a prequel is when you make backstory (A) for something (B) after that thing has been released. If A is made before B then it's not a prequel to begin with, then B is a sequel to A. So talking about prequels already directly says that it's made afterwards.
Also I don't agree that you needed A to understand B in order for A to be a prequel. The Star Wars prequels aren't at all necessary to understand the original trilogy.
***** Ugh, don't mention that guy.
I would actually go with the first Terminator's demise, but Hans Gruber and Wicked Witch is up there, no doubt. But there's that nasty, nasty Emperor Papaltine who got tossed over the edge by -Darth Vader- Anakin Skywalker in ROTJ.
The Dancing/Ballet scene in Avengers 2 of Black Widow's memory stem from Agent Carter
They both stated "The Red Room"
Is there a specific way you have to write a mail bag question for it to get noticed
Good Trailer- X-Men Days of Future Past, Captain America The Winter Soldier- Didn't show you anything "Spoilerific" for the movie or ruin any surprises. Small glimpses of cool scenes to expect
Bad Trailers- Amazing Spider-Man 2, Avenger's- Shows way to much and a lot of the ending... Hence Hulk catching Iron Man or Spidey jumping at a falling Gwen...
As to your thoughts about the TV show not influencing the movies, I would be curious as to what you think will happen when the Inhumans film comes along considering how they are introducing some of those characters through the show?
***** Ahh... so I take it that doesn't include any of the ones introduced on the tv show so far? Admittedly, I don't read the comics, so would have no clue.
***** Thanks for clearing that up.
What about the end of exorcist??? It was super scary
There are 2 episodes left in Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD. The finale will be a 2 parter.
does anyone know if john or anybody on this mail bag/movie talk get paid to these talk shows?
SoluriZe Your grammar was bad. Don't understand what you're asking. Are you asking if the AMC Movie News staff get paid to do their jobs?
AMC Theatres I never saw this as a job i just thought it was something you all did in your free time for fun, i would love to just sit around and talk about movies/tv shows all day and get paid for it so yes that is my question.
In other words, yes, they get paid to do their jobs lol
***** But we wouldn't get paid for it, and from what ive learn so far they do. I was just interested cause i always saw this as being something i would love to do just never knew they got paid for it nor do i even know were to look for a job like this, so does AMC pay them or do they get there income from youtube?
SoluriZe not TH-cam,,,TH-cam doesn't pay anyone unless they are working as TH-cam staff which the AMC move crew dosn't. they work for AMC
It was also rumored that when Marvel was looking for Capt. America they were considering casting Will Smith.
Just take a look at all the AMC Movie Talk/Mail bag video thumbnails. 99% of them are comic-book related. It's laughable.
Also there should be a drinking game, every time they mention 'MCU'. You'd be drunk in 60 seconds.
I'm not the only one noticing the typo in the title right?
Totally agree with you John about Star Wars.
deganhardt77 I can sort of see both sides though, the question was more who will be more beloved in the eyes of the fans, and while George made the original trilogy, he also made the prequels and sort of destroyed Indiana Jones 4 aswell. So there's this tarnished reputation that surrounds Lucas from the fans, but if JJ knocks episodes 7 and 9 out of the park, the fans will view him as like the saviour or something. So that's where I think the question is more aiming at. Yeah, George transcended pop culture with Star Wars, but he also crushed everyone's hopes with the prequels, and he also ruined the original trilogy with the special editions. So a lot of fans feel a lot of distain towards George Lucas. That's why I can sort of see the opposing view to John, as well.
Funfact: Alan Rickman got dropped early during filming so his expression looked more surprised when he was falling. He wasn't acting, he actually didn't see it coming haha
Disney needs to make the Muppets spoofs and parodies from Sesame Street as movies, either in theater or VOD.
Very few villains have left me more satisfied with them dying than Guy Pierce's character in Lawless.
Get Josh, Finstock and JTE from Schmoes Know, to do the Bollywood thing. It would be so funny.
Don't forget John Campea, Val Kilmer was supposed to play Morpheus in Matrix
How is everyone today?
I can't see any of the new Star Wars movies beating Empire Strikes Back. I can see some beating New Hope and Return of the Jedi, but not the second one. Empire Strikes Back was so well done and so great, that no future Star Wars installment will ever top it.
Taylor Huston You never know man. There is no such thing as a perfect movie. Lucas also didn't write or direct Empire Strikes Back either. And given that he nearly single handedly also destroyed the franchise, if JJ brings it back to life and makes it anywhere near as good as the original films, I think the fans will view him as The Saviour of Star Wars. Which is why I don't necessarily agree with John's view. Yes, Lucas' films are the reason JJ is even making these films, but that doesn't mean that the fans have to like Lucas more than JJ. He did also make the prequel trilogy and ruined the OT with the special editions. And he pretty much ruined Indie 4 too.... Just to add salt to the wound.
InFiiLtRaTor I'm not saying it was perfect. Even the original trilogy had its problems, despite if hardcore fans will admit it or not. Maybe some will see the new one as better than any of the original movies, but what I'm saying is that to me, Empire Strikes Back holds a dear place in my heart and nothing will ever replace it. It's the same way I see Back to the Future as my all time favorite movie in the world.
I wonder if when thanos has the reality gem, he can go into different reality's, like the X-men reality, and other ones.
The agents of shield show is not in finale episode yet!
Still has 3 episodes(1 next week and 2 the week after[the finale])
He didn't see the finale of Agents of Shield considering it's weeks away, he must have meant the last episode before ultron hit theaters but that wasn't the finale.
on trailers i am 100% confident zach snyder edits his own trailers he has had way too many phenomenal movie trailers(300,watchmen,MOS,BVS) for this to not be true
I thought for sure the Emperor's death was going to be in John's top 3!
Will smith as django is very interesting. I respect Jamie foxx but I feel that will has more character. I definitely can see will and Samuel l Jackson in that final scene lol
