Saw the new Avengers trailer in IMAX 3D tonight before John Carter.

It looked really good honestly, a little better than I expected. The Iron Man flying scene is really busy and could be tough to look at if your to close in 3D.

It was awesome though.

So how was John Carter?
 
Dat feel when the Hawkeye Dr. Pepper will be the best Dr. Pepper of my life. :D
 
I have never understood how people could pay to see a movie only because they wanted to see a trailer before now. The first time I heard of that happening was when the trailer for The Phantom Menace was attached to some movie -- Meet Joe Black, I believe. Obsessed fans went in droves, only to leave the theater as soon as the trailer played. Back then I thought they were crazy. Now I kind of understand.
I would never pay and therefore support a film that I wouldn't have seen anyway. Also having paid I would bloody well stay and watch whatever film I'd paid for :woot:
But I can understand others doing it, even more so if we didn't have the internet to give us infinite viewings.

I loved it.

I can't understand the criticism by some honestly. I really hope it does well.

DAMN Lynn Collins is finer than a new set of snow tires btw. :jedi





Damn.
 
It's a joke from a couple years ago when they were casting Avengers. Every few days a new piece of "news" would come out (usually on CBM) about a role Pennington was "up" for. Captain Marvel, Iron Fist, Quasar, Human Torch in a F4 reboot, Iceman in an X-Men reboot, etc

Man I remember that and the funny thing is he would play it up on his twitter...Time just flew by.
 
You think he's going to be less important than Black Widow, shouldn't they be about even?
Nah because Widow will be involved with the Avengers from the beginning, whereas Hawkeye has, uh, other things happen to him
 
May I ask. If you are not a big comic book reader, and aren't a fanboy like myself, what is it that got you so interested in marvel recently? Just curious :)

I dunno, liked Ironman, and i've always enjoyed superhero shows like Xmen: evolution and stuff when i was little. The thing that drew me in initially was that it was going to turn into a huge interacting universe of characters which is cool and never really seen

Welcome either way. Hope you dig into the comics with the movies.
 
Reading Joss's latest interviews, I really liked on how he said that he wanted to make "The Avengers" film into War Movie.

If the film is like anything that he's saying it is, then that means that we can expect all of HELL to BREAK LOOSE upon the world by Loki.

I definitely want to see the Avengers pushed their breaking points...to where people wouldn't probably think at first that these 6 would be able to defeat Loki's army.

i know it kinda a cliche, but i want a scene where when the avengers reach their breaking point and when all hope is lost, some member catches a break and brings the team back to win the war (i hope its either cap or hulk)

Has to be cap, it has to be. Ironman is well, ironman. Thor is the most powerful avenger, so you would expect a game changer. Hulk is pure strength, and will do some big things, but its almost expected. With cap being the weakest of the four, but with him being the leader, and the guy who is out of place, I am sure there will be no bigger tear jerking moment than cap doing something heroic, to get the fight back in favor of the avengers.
 
I'd rather the battle be a constant struggle than them reaching a breaking point then mircalulously turning the tide which has done to DEATH.

I just hope it isn't all in New York. At least show some news footage of **** happening in other parts of the world.

It'd be cool to have a quick mention or even glance via news footage of War Machine and the military fighting the invasion force somewhere else in the world. It'd explain why Rhodey isn't in the movie and that scale of the threat, 2 birds with one stone.

I'm kind of fearing the same that all of this crap takes place within one city and within the one (albeit pretty long) battle, similar to the climax in TF3.

It seems like the only times that the Avengers come into physical conflict with Loki is in Germany and on board the hellcarrier, but other than that, I'll honestly be SURPRISED if the film has the team going up against Loki's army prior to the NYC battle.
 
Were the any added bits in it? Such as the German bit?

But if Loki opens the portal right above New York it makes sense for the entire invasion to be centered there

I agree, though you do kind of have to reach a breaking point usually to make things as difficult as possible. Just no need for a "turn of the tide" moment where a character catches a break, it's becoming too standard issue for action movies.

I think a good example to follow would be MI4, where [BLACKOUT]they have that moment where "The missile has been launched" and all is lost, but instead of catching a break the team kicks it into high gear and goes for it anyway. There's no glorious comeback, things are still made difficult as possible, especially in the automobile place the final fight is in. Hell, up till the very last second it's a struggle, with the abort button not working.[/BLACKOUT]

That movie was great with just continuously adding obstacles at every turn.

It really did seem impossible at certain points in MI4.
 
People seem to forget this isn't Loki forces vs the Avengers. This is Loki's Army vs the World and the Avengers are just one unit in the battle. Earth as a whole can be losing the war and the Avengers can just win strategic battles that turn the tide of the entire war. If this is a global threat, then the avengers can't be every where. Loki's will pretty much dominate 95% of the globe.
 
We know the film will have a bit of globetrotting what with Banner in Indian and the event that happens in Germany but I think the big battle will be centered in New York, it makes sense if that's where the portal is opened from.
 
I'm really sorry for suddenly changing the subject, but don't you find that whenever you see Jake Gylinehal (excuse spelling) you see Wonderman?
