Ultimate Avengers: Difference between revisions

* [[Made of Iron]]: In the first film, Captain America gets punched about by [[The Hulk]], ''a lot''. He is still conscious at the end of the fight and suffers little in the way of any real injuries.

* [[My Country Right or Wrong]]: Subverted with Black Panther. He wants them to be away from their isolationist stance. But his people, especially the elders, were not happy with their king's decision, especially when he brought the Avengers along. They had him de-throned, but the elders were proven wrong and Black Panther re-took the throne, and the Avengers defeated the aliens.

* [[Pragmatic Adaptation]]: Given that pretty much all the heroes in the Ultimates comic book [[Took a Level In Jerkass]], they're considerably [[Lighter and Softer]] here. Mark Millar's controversial, less heroic re-imaginations of the characters were replaced with more traditional ones. Hank Pym is still the group [[Jerkass]], but that was a step up from the unstable wife beater he was in the comic. Thor and Captain America's political views are far less extreme (in fact, they barely come up at all). In a nutshell, it takes the contemporary setting and origins from the Ultimates, but uses the character personalities of 616.

* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Hank Pym's death seems to play with this trope. He didn't really do anything evil beforehand, but he had been a major [[Jerkass]], especially to Janet. And it seems his sacrifice was in part to show her that he could be the man she wanted him to be.

* [[Rock Beats Laser]]: In the second one, Iron Man's missile launcher is destroyed by a Wakanda warrior's spear and his armor is wrecked by a swinging log. For the record, Wakandan warriors wield vibranium weapons - and vibranium beats non-vibranium every time.

{{quote| '''Iron Man''': Well that's embarrassing.}}

* [[Takes One to Kill One]]: a technological example -- [[Green Rocks|vibranium]] [[Made of Indestructium|armor]] can only be penetrated by vibranium weapons.
