Unfortunately, every time I publish the vid, it freezes at that point. Totally forgot I could just link you to the full episode. http://www.etonline.com/full_episode/111836_Daily_Full_Episode/index.html it begins near the 3-minutes mark.

Based of Twitter, it seems like everyone got their phones back and the movie is over.

The Avengers - Epic. EPIC! Everyone fights everyone, but it does deliver. Marvel's movies get better every single one. Hulk! HULK!!

Yet, X-Men and Hulk had famous tv shows. While TIH and First Class raked in modest numbers at the Box Office, they still remain far more popular in the GA's minds.

I think the big green muscular beast is just as recognizable as Supes.

world wide, the most recognizable heroes are easily Supes, Bats, Spidey, Wolverine, Hulk, and Wonderwoman imo.

To be fair he specified Wolverine, not just X-Men.

True. But what I was thinking of was all of the hype and "blockbuster" status assigned to X:FC by fans and critics, when in fact it made significantly less than CA:TFA domestically and less WW. It doesn't make sense to me when you compare the performance of the two films.


Also, despite Hulk being an overwhelming favorite among comics fans, his films have performed woefully at the box office. That suggests to me that the character doesn't resonate with the GA in quite the way fans (and studio execs) assume that it does. That can chance with a proper script, of course, but as of now he has not demonstrated the popularity most ascribe to him.

A random fan loves it...

THE AVENGERS. Finally, a Marvel film with a rousing finish. I'll deal with the first two acts in my review.

May 4th.... where are you?

Most excellent. Keep em coming!

 

[flickchick85]

Peter from Slashfilm and Steven from Collider are probably standing in the cellphone line together because they both have yet to tweet and both promised to when it was over, lol.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I agree. Iron Man will probably be on that list soon.

 

[Xeno]

I agree. Iron Man will probably be on that list soon.

Iron Man already is on the list, IMO.

 

[Gamma Burst]

Well, Smallville may be popular here in the U.S., but I don't think it has a global audience like the way blockbuster movies have. If The Avengers really turn out to be a huge phenomenon, people will start mistaken Green Arrow for Hawkeye.

Yeah, people couldn't care less about GA.

 

[flickchick85]

That'll do, Joss, that'll do.

That E Online video isn't working for me, I need another link.

Looks like another random fan:

Rick Remender ‏ @Remender

Just got out of the Avengers premiere. My favorite superhero film ever, no hyperbole.

This one cracks me up

Zeb Wells ‏ @zebwells

Finished watching #Avengers but can't get up on account of this visible erection.

 

[flickchick85]

I'd tweet about The Avengers but my body is still recovering from non-stop geeking out. So, so, so much fun (for the most part).

Yeah, people couldn't care less about GA.

And where's your evidence on that?

I wonder what he met by "for the most part".

 

[Mysteryman]

Looks like the film will live up to its hype.

Looks like another random fan:

Remender is a Marvel comics artist.

Reads like some enjoyed the hell out of it but there's some noticeable flaws in it.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Iron Man already is on the list, IMO.

I'm not so certain on that yet. Iron Man just recently got into the spotlight in 2008. Spiderman, Superman, Hulk, X-Men, Batman and JLA have been on tv for years, on the other hand.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

I agree. Iron Man will probably be on that list soon.

I usually explain my list by the idea of "if i take an image of this character to any part of the world.. who are the most recognizable... even in third world countries.

 

[flickchick85]

Sounds like there are some reservations about the first half of the film, but they don't seem major.
