1. [+552, -27] Huk, Seoul got 20 minutes of screentime???? That's actually a lot if you think about it

2. [+543, -29] I think that's actually the longest Seoul has ever gotten in the history of Hollywood movies. I'm actually really proud now.

3. [+483, -60] I'm so proud that the movie captured Seoul like that ^^ one of the top 5 cities in the world, the top 12 economies, and the top 7 30-50 night clubs ^^

4. [+32, -2] To all the people asking why we should be proud, don't you know what it means for Korea to be featured in a movie seen all over the world? Marvel featured Korea as an IT powerhouse which is basically promoting to the rest of the world that Korea is strong technologically. Be proud that you live in such a country.

5. [+27, -5] I remember walking out of the theater and everyone whispering among themselves, "When did our country look so... Sangnam looked so nice... did it always look that nice?"

6. [+24, -2] I expected 5 minutes of screentime so this is pretty nice

7. [+20, -5] Didn't expect that much but I'm glad they filmed here~!! ^^

8. [+17, -4] Stop arguing about the screentime, 20 minutes is plenty. And to all of you whining that they didn't capture Korea properly or that it doesn't really look like Korea... imagine the positive effect it will have on our tourism, especially considering how lesser known Korea is compared to China and Japan in the world. It's not like we have beautiful buildings like Hong Kong either. To be featured as one of the main backdrops in a global movie is huge... Don't act so cocky and wait for Korea to slowly build its name up more and more in Hollywood movies. It's bad to be so greedy off the start, just be patient.

Article: "This is the #2 subway line?"... 'Avengers 2' films it in CG

1. [+8,074, -200] It's honestly understandable, I wouldn't expect them to actually film there considering rush hour and everything

2. [+5,800, -202] Just watch the damn movie and stop checking how many times Korea is flashed on the screen ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+446, -45] I can already see the restaurants who had their signs flashed on the screen putting up signs now like 'As seen on Avengers 2', ugh

4. [+284, -9] Stop being so obsessed with Korea being in Avengers... so what if they CG some sets they need like the subway, it would be more bothersome to everyone else if they filmed on the subway anyway.

5. [+262, -10] Aww, our street signs look so dirty..

6. [+263, -12] Our street signs look so outdated, please get rid of them

7. [+236, -8] As a photographer, even I admit that Seoul is a hard place to capture beautifully... at most, the best you can get is probably a nightscape with the city lights.
