The Avengers The Avengers Post Screening Review & Discussion Thread (SPOILER FILLED) - Part 1

[Xeno]

Is there a non-spoiler post screening review thread?

Welcome to the Hype, Joeyjojo! We don't have a non-spoiler review thread yet, but one of us should start one once we've seen the movie on Saturday. I'm more than willing to write up a spoiler-free review afterwards.

 

[Quasimod0]

Oh yeah baby, no spoilers in the spoiler thread. Congrats people. Hopefully there will be some tonite.

 

[Raiden]

Damn, we burned through an entire spoiler thread with no actual spoilers posted. That's what I call failing upward.

I know. Isn't it great? t: Expect Echostation to write up another column about this thread's "epic failure" soon.

Welcome to the Hype, RunDTC!

SPOILER!

Spoiler

The movie will be epic.

Spoiler

The Avengers are in it.

Spoiler

Son of Coul will kill 100s of aliens....while fixing a sandwich...A KNUCKLE SANDWICH!

t:

Now I know the entire plot! I might as well stay home.

 

[MarvelKnight]

3 and a half hours until the premiere stream starts.

 

[Superhero 101]

Where is there a link to that?

So, it's not too long now. Will we be getting official reviews from this premier, or do we still have to wait until at least the 17th?

 

[Son of Coul]

I believe the embargo on official reviews lifts on the 16th, but reactions from guests, including journalists from entertainment sites will likely crop up online (Frosty from Collider will be tweeting initial thoughts, for instance).

 

[TX85]

Will the site have a replay video of it after the premiere?

 

[warhorse78]

I wonder if we'll see an Avenger get punked?

I hope "frosty" abides by the Son of Coul's commands.

Massive squeeing for 1st public screening of #Avengers 2ight. Love Whedon twists. DONT TWEET SPOILERS#WhathappensinAvengersstaysatAvengers

Anyone who tweets major spoilers should be shunned by one and all. You can't filter spoilers from Twitter results, so that's unfair to people who want to stay unspoiled.

Two and half hours until the premiere.

Dude I love that giant beetle, I always get a huge "lol" out of him saying "good good".

 

[bosef982]

Yeah, I'll be doing a sorta minimal review. I won't get into details just out of respect to the talent and creators. But it'll be enough to gauge how I felt.

But as of now, I got to go get ready for the PREMIERE!!!!!

You're going to the premiere?

Mmhmm.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Where's Echostation?

Who cares? Got sick of that guy when he went on his ridiculous rampage about how characters with no powers didn't add anything useful to the story.

Did he say characters with powers or without powers?

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Without, he was mostly *****ing about Black Widow iirc

I'm not the biggest Black Widow fan around, but anyone who know's anything about The Avengers should know that she brings quite a bit to the table.

Avengers have many members who don't have actual powers, such as BW, Hawkeye, Mockingbird, etc. However, it just shows that those people, if they have some special ability or skill that they are excel at, can make them just as big a superhero as other super-powered beings. Heck, even JLA has Batman and Green Arrow as their members who don't have any superpowers.

Exactly, if everyone was a "powerhouse" then there would be no variety or sense of relatability.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Yeah, Hawkeye was the other one he was going about. "All they have is a stupid bow and a gun" nonsense.

Anyway, if we keep talking about him he might show up so...

That reminds me, I think Hawkeye should be the next Avenger to get some tv spot love since he's been in the trailers/tv spots less than anyone.
