Alexei, you're a dark cloud on this thread. Take your negative opinions about other movies to their corresponding forums. This is the Avengers movie thread, let us talk Avengers movie in peace, please for the love of god.

Hell, they haven't been able to top Iron Man's numbers but people still say Thor & Cap did well with the GA.

Iron Man's opening weekend was FAR bigger than Thor's and Cap's so the fact that it made more money doesn't have anything to do with it being a better film.

 

[marvel_freshman]

Hell, if anything, you should accuse Hemsworth of doing it only for the money. He said himself he applied for Thor just because he really needed a job.

To be honest, I imagine the initial motivation for an actor when doing a movie is that they're getting paid. It is "work" for them after all. Hemsworth is just one of the few actors that have admitted it.

Yep and he still gave us a great performance in THOR and Chris Evans also did extremely well as CA:TFA.

 

[Crimson King]

I can already see it. Chris Evans, out of profound disgust for the franchise, drops out prior to Avengers 2 & publicly flames Marvel/Feige's mindless popcorn antics. But what do the fans do? Dismiss Evans. "He's just mad because he didn't get his way...Marvel knows what they're doing...I'm glad to see him go..." It just baffles me how even after RDJ & Rourke publicly badmouth IM2, people still refuse to accept the fact that those responsible for its failure are still in charge of making these films. How bad of a movie does Feige have to make before the fans finally say ENOUGH? Chris Evans pretty much confirms through every interview that he agreed to do Cap strictly for monetary gain. What's that say? Things have gotten really sloppy since IM2. The franchise is pretty much reserved for the purists now. Hell, they haven't been able to top Iron Man's numbers but people still say Thor & Cap did well with the GA. Honestly, if Avengers ends up being another cardboard "B" movie, I'm giving up on Marvel Studios.

I don't see how you're allowed to continue to flame these boards. Your opinions-stated-as-facts routine is tiresome, condescending, and only serve to drag the thread down.

You hate Feige. Great, we get it. You can't stand Marvel films post-TIH. We're familiar with that stance too. The day you came on the boards to announce your hatred for IM2, Thor, and Cap, no one got their panties in a bunch because you were just stating your opinion. But to come back again and again, spouting the same anti-Marvel, anti-Feige criticisms is out and out trolling.

***Memo*** Actors do jobs for money! <shock and awe!>

On a side note; didn't one of reliable our posters here say that he'd have something potentially to reveal to us last Friday regarding a tip that he was given off from a source working on the film?

Hehehehe

Yep, the same reason every other person in the world does their job.

Yes, it was R Hypotheleus I believe (I may have spelled his name wrong).

exactly. I love my job, but I sure wouldn't do it for free.

Dragonator, the "Evans quits the franchise" bit was [obviously] a hypothetical example directed at those who even after Norton, RDJ, Rourke (& to some extent Evans) have expressed disappointment with Marvel, still continue to side with the studio & ignore the talent's very valid complaints. Being a fan of these characters doesn't require one to accept every stupid move these Hollywood producers make. I'm a fan of the comics. I love the Captain America character. Does that mean I have to excuse the mediocrity displayed in the film Marvel Studios made based on that character? No. I know people here have this idea that being honest about the decline in the MCU's quality somehow makes them "bad fans". It really doesn't.

Honestly RDJ only expressed dissapointment in Iron Man 2, so I would call that being dissapointed in Marvel Studios as a whole.

No but you have berated those of us who actually like these films. And believe me I don't just accept any crap that's put to film just because it's based on comic material that I like (see Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and Green Lantern).

You have gone over the top in your dislike of the films and have bashed those whose opinions are different and disrespected them, accused them of lying and have been warned by mods to discontinue that behavior, and yet you still speak with arrogance and self righteousness that your opinions are all that mattered.

Indeed. Hemsworth has much more reason to be more open about it, though, since before Thor, his popularity wasn't that high amongst most people (not sure how popular he was in Australia, though). His biggest role at that point was being Kirk's dad in the Star Trek opening sequence (my favorite scene in the film even before Hemsworth was cast).

 

[TheDragonator]

Alexei's also insanely redundant, bringing up the same dead arguments over and over again.

He's beating a dead horse with another dead horse.

And I think maybe you need to learn the concept that people have opinions that will differ from yours and that they don't need to be educated by you about what to think about the movies they like.

Actually, you've been warned multiple times to quit this attitude, so you need to learn now to play nice and respect the opinions of others on this forum (even if you disagree with them), or you won't be posting here much longer.

 

[TheDragonator]

Oh ****, danoyse's here.

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

Dragonator, so I guess you think Rourke is beating a dead horse too, right? And so was Norton?

Have you considered that maybe we say we like the films a lot because, god forbid, we like them?

 

[TheDragonator]

They at least are respectable people.

[The Infernal]

Sweet avatar. Though it reminds me of how much I miss seeing MJF onscreen.

 

[TheDragonator]

Speaking of you, I checked out something on Parkinsons the other day. The average age to get it is after 50.

MJF got it at age 30.

Damn.

 

[The Infernal]

Really? That young? I didn't realise he hid it for that long. I knew he kept it under wraps for a while, but that must have been quite the feat.

 

[TheDragonator]

Apparently it started right around the time BTTF part 3 came out, while he was shooting Doc Hollywood. It wasn't diagnosed until the year after, though, but still.

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

Danoyse, for starters, publicly threatening me doesn't exactly add much needed maturity to the atmosphere of this thread. You shouldn't address me like a child. I've dealt with you before in the X-Men forum & your concept of moderating is pretty much "Stop having an opinion that doesn't sit well with others or I will punish you." Not exactly the best way to represent a message board as a moderator (if you ask me). Now, this is NOT the "Marvel Studios Support thread" where any negative comment about the studio is grounds for punishment. This is the "Avengers News & Speculation thread". Mickey Rourke recently spoke out on Marvel's poor judgment with IM2 & a poster here brought it up. I agree with Mickey. Most people here don't. You can't come after me the way you are because I agree with Mickey. I have the right as a poster here to dislike the way the studio is handling these movies. Posters here don't like that because they take my negative opinions on the MCU personally. You as a Mod can't possibly do so too.
