    They're about friendship aren't they? Much like Captain Planet. Are you saying that Captain Planet has no heart?

    Oh, great. Now, you're bringing in the stupid the Captain Planet metaphor into it. For christ's sake.
    Come on now, no need to get snippy.

    I noticed that there is a bit of a comic book movie fatigue out there but what people don't realize is, they have the power to stay home and either wait the comic book movie to come out on DVD/Blu-ray or they could simply skip that comic book movie all together. With me? I skipped Fan4stic. And I'm still debating whether I should buy a physical copy of Fan4stic or if I should download and watch the movie digitally.

    I have to take the blame for that, I know first hand how Captain Planet brings it out in people. Me and my big mouth.

    Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I guess it was the fact that I got into a shouting war with my younger brother while I wrote that. We say some pretty nasty things to each other a lot. And we're at each other's throats pretty much all the time. I guess I took some of my anger out on you. Wrongfully so. Sorry.

    Now there's a name I have not heard in some time...

    I did a review on it last year.

    Usually when someone dumps on Age of Ultron I feel the need to release a deadly toxin into the air, but Bioware shall be spared since he was actually consistent with his Avengers hate, as many of the complaints I see aimed at Age of Ultron can be said about the first movie which they turn around and praise to the moon.

    Ayen, are you familiar with a YouTuber by the name of NecroVMX? He reviewed The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron.

    I'd like to take a minute to stop and look at this exchange. Chances are Pheesh wasn't even too concerned because he's pretty level headed.

    However, once the person saw how their words may have come across as pretty aggressive (interpreting intended tone in written word is difficult), they apologized.

    I probably sound cheesy or whatever, but it's good to see that. People all over the internet seem so hostile and quick to turn bull-headed right now. I'm glad this didn't turn into that.

    No, never heard of him. Only critics I really pay attention to anymore is the Nostalgia Critic and the Angry Video Game Nerd.

    And Ayen's Reviews. I heard they're doing some pretty great things down there.

    It was good. Funnier than your typical Marvel film. I thought Paul Rudd carried it and he was very likable. Kate from Lost sucked though.
