The Avengers The Avengers: News and Speculation - Part 27A sub-se - - - Part 12

I took that as him meaning technology can run off of a power source that wouldn't run out, meaning we would be living in an energy efficient world that doesn't run on dwindling natural resources. This would also push the advancement in natural technology.

Compared to his other cameos, there's just something different about his delivery.

Hulk performed a feat of valor in the end of TIH. He's more likely to do it again than Abomination being a do-gooder on a team of superheroes.

I have to rewatch TIH, but I'm sure it was mentioned that Blonsky did outstandig jobs on many military missions. And he seemed a lot smarter than Hulk in his Abomination form

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Abomination retained his intellect as far as we know.

That was before two rounds of the serum that clearly had a negative physical effect very similar to what happened to the Red Skull. We all know what that meant. Then with the gamma radiated blood poured on top .... he became an "abomination".

When you guys saw the trailer in the cinema, did it have these black bars at the sides? Like, it wasn't widescreen.

 

[BatmanInc]

I wonder when some idiots on this site are going to realize that Thor is going to have his cape in the film. Seriously, almost nobody would be complaining if Thor had his cape in the Helicarrier shots we saw.

Ignoring, of course, that Thor had his cape at the end of the trailer.

Ok, something's been bugging me since i've seen the teaser.

Is the Avengers being shot entirely in a different ratio to the normal widescreen version. When I saw the trailer right after cap, just seemed like a bit of a shock.

(Inc. Sarcasm) Thanks to the ever reliable IMDB, it's even been noted down as 1.85 : 1 in ratio, compared to the regular 2:35 : 1 version.

If so, I wonder what reason for the change can be?

He's sleeveless when he fights too. Its not just a "hang-out" look.

My money's on the SDCC concept art and the toys being innacurate.

He must have 2 suits in the movie.

Marvel has already proven that they can make good movies with a lower budget though, so with a high budget like 260M, it's reasonable to expect an epic.

Holy s***. 260m is much higher than I expected. You're right, Marvel has done solid work on relatively low budgets, and with Serenity, Whedon was able to do wonders with less than one-sixth of that budget. Epic, it will be.

Check my post, it had black bars, didn't it?

I'm sure it's because it was kind of just thrown out there. Effects were pretty much the priority. Not the colour correction and aspect ratio.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I agree.

True that, flickchick85.

They already have a super soldier in Cap.

.... and how do you propose "controlling" him?

The only way this works is if Fury has bad agendas.

Not really a BAD agenda, just a "succeed at all costs" mentality. The threat is probably sufficient for Fury to consider ALL options. He's in that gray area anyway, never really fully trustworthy.

Remember also that the Hulk disappeared, while Blonsky is in custody. Fury probably sees them both as equally dangerous initially but at least Blonsky was a soldier and trained. A bird in the hand. It was probably also never even put on a report that the Hulk did anything "noble". It was probably just reported that they tore up the city trying to kill each other.

Seems like they might have to hunt down and capture Hulk, a prospect he might not have wanted to have to mess with.

If Thor doesn't come in the game till a little later then Fury could have been desperate for a "Heavy hitter". Cap is Bad*** and all, but he's no Abomination/Hulk.

The recent incarnations of Fury have always been a shady "do whatever is needed" type.

Here's my theory on sleeveless Thor. That's his look at the beginning of the movie for some reason. The fight scene where he's sleeveless takes place BEFORE the Hellicarrier scene, which is the aftermath of the fight scene. Then later in the movie, Thor gets the costume we're more familiar with.

I think that's the case.

I mean, I doubt that they'd keep promoting Thor with his original look if he weren't going to actually wear it even once on screen for the film.

 

[BatmanInc]

A 260 million Budget?

Holy crap, they ARE going all-out with this one. TDKR has a smaller budget (by a little, but still). Avengers is at least going to be a visual effects Oscar Nominee, considering Serenity had damn good visual effects, and it's budget was ****ing nothing all in all.

Yeah, I got the bars, and hopefully your right about what you said.

Still, I thought the aspect ratio depended on the camera it was shot with. Not something altered later on.

I heard this size helps when converted onto IMAX screens (apparently, it would fill up the screen more), and maybe that's why they chose to format it this way.

Or maybe i'm just looking too much into it. We'll see soon enough.

I've got another theory: Maybe the sleeves will be in the film, but CGI'd in so that Hemsworth has better movement in the costume.

 

[PWN3R]

This is funny as hell, but I still don't see a problem. He looks better in every way. He's ****ing even more huge, too.

Still can't believe these are wigs. Man, the wig stylists know their business.

 

[darkslayer101]

i actuallly love the sleevless look especially when hes not fighting....
but he doesnt fight sleevlessly through the entire fight and mabye summon the chainmail in the middle of the battle...

 

[Herolee10]

For me, it's just really his hair that I'm going to have to get to used to. This will likely happen when better shots of him appear since I think his longer hair looks great in the shots of him throwing the hammer, along with the group shot, but the one with his arms crossed, where his hair looks more conditioned is the one that I don't like.

Hemsworth has been growing his hair out though. This time around I'm pretty certain they just added extensions. For his solo movie, it was no doubt a full wig.

 

[Spideyfan93]

I dig the longer hair.

 

[JB-the-Hunter]

This guy just posted tis on IMDb:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/board/thread/186297755
He only has one post in his history, but I thought to post it here anyway. It's slightly plausible. The only thing I find odd is Louis Leterrier directing TIHR and a few other things, but whatever, we'll see when the time comes.

 

[Spideyfan93]

Thor 2 in late 2013?

and Avengers 2 four years after this one?! And late 2016? I'm doubtful.
