As I had mentioned in the previous thread, I hope that each of the Avengers are given some specific tasks/missions to do during the NYC battle other than just defeating any and every enemy/soldier that they encounter. I think it would make things interesting in a way (not that they already aren't of course.lol)

wow. TM has a busy day today.

To JB from the last thread(wouldn't let me quote for some reason), I thought JC was very entertaining but i am no critic. It was fun and kept me interested almost the whole movie. Like i said previously, the only part that made me skeptical is how the movie opens(really slow). I really only went to see the Avengers trailer on the big screen but i ended leaving the theater more satisfied than predicted.

BTW when ppl saw the Avengers trailer, almost everyone was whispering to their friends that "they were going to see that for sure." I did hear one person comment on BW only having guns tho

When I read that quote one image came to mind.

Chewy my man, this picture came to my mind as well and if I ever get to see a "Ultron, we would have words with thee" on the big screen I do a back flip in the theater.

Yeah I too hope this happens. Leave the biggest threats for Thor and Hulk; Cap, Widow and Hawkeye need to be more strategic since they are the weakest and Iron Man can take out the aerial threats along with Thor if he's free.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

I am fine with that.

Nor do I

Well we can't expect everyone to have good taste.

Just to answer someone on the previous thread, there are no plotholes in the plane crash ending of CA:TFA. The plane had lost it's power source and the control panel was damaged and thus had lost most of it's controls, including landing gear. Bombs based upon cube energy were still on the plane. The were going to reach NA relatively quickly. CAP made the best decision he could that would guarantee no civilian casualties.

Good to hear about the positive vibes. I hope JC is a great success mainly for the fact that there be greater exposure for THE AVENGERS trailer.

A lot of times I cannot completely separate my fandom from my objectivity, so I always tell people who ask me about MARVEL movies that I am a fan which may influence my judgement. However this is one time I can separate the 2 and I can say with all assuredness that THE AVENGERS theatrical trailers is one the best trailers ever made.

Thread Manager doesn't let me properly quote it, but xeno000 said something in the previous installment of this thread that bears repeating:

Folks keep referring to only two sequels, like it's set in stone that all movie series will be trilogies. In The Avengers' case I hope that's not true. With the massive roster of heroes who have been Avengers over the years, the series can go in for many more than three installments. It should be more like Bond, which keeps chugging along with changes in the cast. As long as Marvel can keep the series fresh and quality high, the team can shuffle the roster indefinitely and soldier on.

Avengers should definitely be an *open-ended* series, not set up to be a trilogy. It's a franchise unto itself, so trying to make a beginning-middle-end trilogy would be mega-fail on Marvel Studios' part.

Very true, I would like to see this happen as well because what's the point of each members having different abilities if they're all doing the same thing.

Im glad that Marvel is keeping most of their villains alive...makes it great for recurring appearances...hopefully we get to see Skull and Abomination again in the near future in conjunction with new villains.

Yeah but when we refer to the "trilogy" most of us are referring to number of The Avengers films we'll most likey get with the current actors and core roster.

Another thing to consider is a potential 4th film is at least 10 to to 12 years away at best.

Personally I don't care to speculate that far ahead. It's hard enough waiting 2-3 years for a film to be made and released.

Same here, that's another reason why I refer to it as "trilogy" becaue we barely have enough info to properly speculate about the 2nd film itself.

While I would like Avengers to keep going indefinitely it can be a tricky thing to apply the 'timeless' factor of the books to a live action franchise. It can be done, James Bond is evidence of that (ran for around 40 years before getting rebooted) but I think the main trick to making it work is to make the continuity looser down the line. Easier to accept inevetible cast changes to major roles and the changing times if the later films are not overly dependent on the current ones.

The later films *don't* have to be overly dependent on the current ones. That's the whole point. When you set a franchise up to be open-ended, then you don't shackle yourself to a "beginning-middle-end" plot structure (however loose it may be) that requires you to "wrap up" loose ends in the third film --- a la TDKR.

People keep bringing up 007 as a good example, and yes, that's what Marvel should strive for for longevity's sake; Dr. Who is another good analogy.

If the Avengers franchise is as big as Disney wants it to be then it won't be just a trilogy, just look at the Pirates franchise. That was a trilogy with a clear ending but was way too profitable to stop with the 3rd movie.

Plus with The Avengers they have the option of changing the line-up if certain actors don't want to do more than three.

 

[liveman789]

And luckily Hemsworth and Evans are still young, as they're the bigger 2 of the big 3 as far as Avengers are concerned.

Agreed again. You're on a roll dude.
