What Avengers: Age Of Ultron Would Look Like If It Came Out In 1995

Avengers: Age of Ultron is what’s happening now, or at least, very soon. But that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t be fun to speculate about what it would look like if it came out 20 years ago.

Impossible, you say? Not so much, thanks to the folks at Vulture. They’ve put together an Age of Ultron trailer that’s so 1995 you’d think the people who made it actually lived through it (and they just might have). My favorite part is that someone might need to adjust the tracking. Kids, please ask your parents what I mean by that.

Also incredible: the part of the trailer where it starts listing the actors. Downey Jr. Evans. Hemsworth. I feel pretty confident that at least one Schwarzenegger and/or Stallone film used that exact tactic to promote itself.

As Slate notes, 1995 is when Batman Forever was released, pitting Val Kilmer in his one and only outing as the Dark Knight against Jim Carrey’s Riddler and Tommie Lee Jones’ Two-Face. You might know it as the film that started the downhill slide of that particular series of Batman films. It would have been interesting indeed if Marvel was in the movie-making business back then instead of being just a year away from filing for bankruptcy, but we’ll have to settle for this as the next best thing.

Oh, and Marvel? If you can get this on the Avengers: Age of Ultron Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy combo pack later this year, we’ll be friends forever. Thanks!
