Geek Chic: Fashion Inspired by Avengers: Age of Ultron
*BEWARE, SPOILERS AHEAD*
Did you go see Avengers: Age of Ultron yet? I caught a showing over the weekend with my roommates. While I definitely enjoyed the movie, I wasn’t blown away by it like I was with the first installment of the super-hero-palooza franchise. Still, it was a lot of fun!

Know Your Geek: About Age of Ultron
In Age of Ultron, the Avengers unite to retrieve Loki’s scepter from a HYDRA outpost in Eastern Europe. There, they square off against the Maximoff twins, two mutants, ahem, “enhanced” who display remarkable powers that rattle the team.
The biggest threat is yet to come though, in the shape of Ultron, Tony Stark’s sentient robot creation. Although Ultron’s intended purpose was to protect humanity and ensure peace, he quickly concludes that the only way to achieve peace in our chaotic world is to force humanity to evolve via mass annihilation.
Age of Ultron was directed by Joss Whedon and stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, and Paul Bettany.

The Maximoffs
“He’s fast and she’s weird.”
In Age of Ultron, we welcome two new members to the avenging team: the Maximoff twins Wanda (who has mind control and reality-altering powers) and Pietro (who has super-human speed, endurance, and reflexes).
Although they’re initially on Ultron’s side, the twins eventually realize that their supposed leader has got a few loose mental strings. Their goal of destroying the Avengers quickly shifts to the goal of preventing global human annihilation. A worthy goal, I’d say.
