I agree. Nolan needs to takeover and ground it in realism.

It can pretty much achieve anything in the right hands. Its miraculous properties are basically infinite.
that shit be broken tier
I don't know, that long, steady tracking shot following all the heroes taking their turns was quite spectacular. I was impressed by that much.

Gotcha. Deus Ex Machina is confusing stuff sometimes

What do you think of Transformers movies/Terminator 4?
In the show Rome they use the term "savage cunny".
Also not in standard use, but you get the picture better.

Did anyone notice that Ralph Macchio got a Special Thanks in the credits? What the hell did Daniel-san do?
Fun is gross dude. Boredom is what I'm into. I'm all like, 'man, that's just one fun moment too much, I am offended! These heroes need to sit around in a quiet room and read a little bit, maybe offer each other knitting tips.'

:lol I do appreciate that their deus ex machina macguffin is at least a thing they warn you about.

Ralph Macchio is also the name of a very prolific Marvel comics editor, so maybe it's him.

I prefer to think that it was the other Macchio.
Well there was that one agent....
(and the countless other agents but those didn't have old captain america cards)

You made it that far? I left when I saw that bald black dude from Black Snake Moan show up in a eye patch and leather coat. Yeah, I'm sure everyone in the military organization takes him seriously dressed up like a Spice Girl. Got my money back and had a splendid day at the aquarium.
It's not a deus ex machina, just your standard plot device. A MacGuffin.
I suppose you could argue it's a sort of diabolus ex machina.

Some more behind the scenes shots.
ILM photographers taking shots of NYC:
Example of a 360 degree capture:
Digital NYC geometry:
Example of a fully-CG city shot (would look much better at full-res, but can't find a shot):
Original plate:
Final comp with digital city backdrop and assorted debris/objects:

Well the first Transformers was a better movie no doubt. It set things up better, had a more cohesive plot. Better villains with more insight on their motives. It had some character development, not just quips after quips.
It wasn't perfect, but it was a solid action movie.
The 2nd & 3rd Bayformers are absolutely on-par with the Avengers as dumb summer CGI-shitfest films though.
Incidentally, both Transformers & Avengers have nearly the exact same 3rd half.
Interchangeable robot aliens fighting in New York, randomly causing property damage.
Pretty sure this was answered many many times, but I guess you would prefer to hate on the movie and not listen to reason. Carry on.

Someone would have accidentally beheaded him a second before the credits.

Are people really that stupid that they did not understand Loki's motives and the alien race's motives?
Loki was mad since his plan to rule Asgard got ruined and decided to rule Earth because he thought humans were weak and to get back at Thor. This was shown throughout the way Loki talked to humans and his speech to Thor.
The aliens just attacked seeking the tezzerrett.
Yep, the Bayformers were so much better.

Damnit, I always seem to end up posting stuff when the thread goes haywire so it'll end up getting lost in the crossfire.
I like that Nick Fury lacks so much confidence in the Avengers that he decides to con them all with a manipulative ploy. I mean, weren't they guilty enough that the agent died?
No, because the Avengers are assholes!
He made Cap feel like shit for not signing those cards.
:lol, really man, what is the matter with you?

He could still make a pretty penny on eBay. "Stained with the blood of SHIELD Agent! Captain America signature!"
The Avengers and Transformers are in two different classes; five classes apart.
Only thing comparable in quality are the special effects.
No, the stuff you posted was amazing. What you guys did were great.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I'm thinking Thanos won't be the main villain in the next movie, but will probably send another army, or villain, and Thanos will come to Earth himself in the third movie.
Because when you think about it, Marvel doesnt really have any villains they own the rights to who can out villain Thanos. Unless they do a Civil War take for the third film.
