Avengers: Age Of Ultron - 10 Previous Mistakes It Must Avoid

1. Include More Character Building Scenes

Earlier, I argued that the first act of Avengers Assemble was too slow in pace, as fans were keen to see the team united finally on the big screen for the first time, but of course, maintaining a constant fast pace would be exhausting to watch. Slower character building moments are also crucial for audiences to become invested in the story and to care about the people involved. Whedon did an admirable job of trying to balance pace with characterisation in Avengers Aseemble, but inevitably, some of our favourite heroes didn't receive the screen time they deserved. While characters like the Hulk and Black Widow had quiet moments which explored their personalities in more detail, others like Thor and Captain America were neglected somewhat in the grand scale of the movie, aside from the occasional line of dialogue within larger group scenes. Of course, it makes sense to prioritise character-building for the heroes who are not scheduled to appear in more solo outings in the near future, but we would liked to have seen more of Thor and Loki's rivalry or Captain America's struggle to come to terms with living in the 21st century. One thing most fans should be able to agree on though is that Hawkeye's first big cinematic outing was severely underwritten. After a brief cameo in the first Thor movie, Avengers Assemble was Clint Barton's time to come to the forefront, but in the end, Hawkeye spent the majority of the movie as a mind controlled puppet, unknowingly doing Loki's bidding. Jeremy Renner himself has openly stated he was unhappy with the treatment his character received, despite being one of the six core team members. Reports suggest that the role of Hawkeye will be increased for the upcoming sequel and with the current popularity of his solo comic book series, Whedon would be foolish to make the same mistake again. What do you think? Can Avengers: Age of Ultron surpass the original movie or is it destined to make the same mistakes again? Remember to let me know your thoughts in the comments section below!
