because it's Thor's helmet, he wears it for like two minutes in the movie.

and it speaks in Chris Evans voice

Chris Evans actually typed my last post.

 

[Guerrilla]

There should've been other items from the other Avengers: Hawkeye's bow and arrow, Black Widow's underwear...

Hulk's police car boxing gloves

 

[The Caped Knight]

It's The Big Three

 

[Kirk Langstrom]

Anyone else psyched about the potential 150 min run time that was put out there? Its not official or anything but I hope to hell that is accurate.

Thats exactly the frame that I hoped for but didn't really think we would get.

Yeah, i am.

I think that run time is PERFECT!

Thor has a helmet? THOR HAS A HELMET? EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[captainrogers]

Wierd. delayed Double post.
Disregard.

 

[Captain Marvel]

Yep, and it's sitting in his closet in Asgard under a pair of smelly socks, a stack of Valkyrie-on-Amazon porn DVD's, and a jock strap. I'm sure he'll put it on again eventually.

150 minutes would be a dream come true.

*On a separate note, anyone catch that pic of Wasp & Banner I posted before it got removed?

 

[protocida]

Darkseid should be the villain in a Man of Steel movie first. It would be like Doctor Doom being the main villain in an Avengers movie before the Fantastic Four(even though that can't happen).

Darkseid grew into a JLA villain, especially after the reboot. He's the ultimate evil in the Universe. Having him being defeated by Superman alone and then confront the Justice League would decrease his badassery.

Not to mention his Generals (Granny Goodness, Doctor Bedlam, Steppenwolf, Kanto, Kalibak...) Those guys are a pretty great Anti-JLA.

 

[Captain Marvel]

Yeah, if the choice is between Darkseid as a Superman villain or a JLA villain, then he should be a JLA villain. Whatever the case, if he were to ever be used in a Superman movie, it should be in the very last movie of any Superman franchise. He's the villain you end a successful Superman franchise with. Not the one you start one with.

No. Why did it get removed? Was it a HUGE spoiler from the movie or something or was it inappropriate.

I'd say neither. But the mods probably thought differently.

If it is the photograph I am thinking of, and is a spoiler, I will eat my sweater. Especially since Giant Man and Wasp have been confirmed to not be in the film.

I just realized that in the comic books, Fin Fang Foom is a member of the alien race called the Makluans.

So here is a new theory:

The alien invaders in the movie are the Makluans, that is the "Leviathans". The humanoid blue/grey aliens are just a nameless subjugated race that serve the Makluans and were made up for the film.

So the real enemies are the gigantic serpents/dragons that made a pact with Loki.

The Makluans also make it possible for the Mandarin to appear in IM3 - his ten rings are of Makluan origin! And all that talk about the Mandarin being "a racist caricature" is just a diversionary tactic. As was calling the Makluans "Leviathans" in the script... so that the true identity of the aliens remains a secret.

Thoughts?

 

[protocida]

^ I don't see it.

It's just aliens with advanced technology that includes giant mechanical serpents.

 

[SpideyFan866]

I'd say neither. But the mods probably thought differently.

I wish I had seen it now. I'd say pm it to me but the mods might bring down their wrath.

 

[Incredible Hans]

Well, Whedon confirmed that he aliens in the movie are based on something from the comics books, right? So they cannot be "just aliens"...

 

[protocida]

^ That doesn't really mean much. It's a C-list alien race like the Alpha Centaurians or the Sons of Muspell or the Knights of Wundagore. It won't mean anything aside from "Hey, guys, they were in the comics!". Their basic function is blow stuff up and fight the Avengers.

 

[Incredible Hans]

^ That doesn't really mean much. It's a C-list alien race like

... the Makluans?

I mean, aren't the Makluans a fine example for a C-list alien race (along with nameless humanoid auxiliaries)?

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

I wish I had seen it now.

Oh, trust me, you do

 

[SpideyFan866]

Oh, trust me, you do

WTH was it?

 

[protocida]

^ It's not the Makluans.

As for the picture... Is it boobs?

 

[darthmagic]

I think the Alien Race is being over analysed. So far we have evidence of the Knights of Wundagore, Fing Fang Foom, Dark Elves, and the Annihilus. I believe Marvel are putting together an Alien Horde of characters that comic fans will recognize. Characters that have a long standing history in comics but would never have the chance of being in their own move. So while we may know that the creature is Fing Fang Foom it won't really be called that or even discussed. I see it as a tribute to fans while giving all these baddies a chance to shine.

 

[protocida]

Isn't it pretty much confirmed it's just one race, though?

 

[Incredible Hans]

Maybe... and maybe my whole Makluan theory is as wrong as it could be.

But on the other hand... the Lego alien gliders show a symbol that could be interpreted as the stylized head of a big creature.

So perhaps the big serpents aren't the aliens' vessels, but their masters.
