The Avengers Where they have gone wrong with the avengers project so far

[BigThor]

Yeah when he said "Thor is just a regular guy with a hammer", that was enough for me to stop taking him seriously.

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Good choice.

 

[wobbly]

Whether or not Thor is just a regular guy with a hammer is a debate for another day (he is), the real question none of you have answered is:

How does TIH -- aside from the tacked on Tony Stark afterward -- do any better a job correlating to the Avengers movie than the 2003 HULK film? If they wanted to keep Eric Bana on board and released a special edition dvd of HULK with a similar Tony Stark scene at the end, the characters position going into Avengers would be no different.

I'm not saying there aren't dramatic story elements in the 2008 TIH film, but that film's story is still the one least necessary to be told leading up to the Avengers -- especially considering it's a fighting story.

Ok...To answer your question. Ignoring the ending there were references to Shield and Stark industries within the film, but these I would grant were only subtle.

What was not subtle however was Blonsky being treated with an unstable version of Captain America's super soldier serum, and in that discussion Blonsky had with Ross it was revealed Banner's work was in part an attempt to recreate a working formula (Banner was not aware of Ross' hidden agenda). This was a rather major plot point of the film that will tie TIH and Banner to Avengers directly: Banner's becoming the Hulk was an accidental result of a program that was basically trying to recreate Captain America.

The 03 Hulk has no connection at all.

As for your Thor comment....A regular guy? Only when he assumes the 'Don Blake' form. As Thor, he is an immortal god with Hulk level strength and invulnerability without the hammer, which is vastly powerful on its own as well.

^^ Don't forget ... The hammer can turn into a walking stick

Lets not awaken the Fatal Tiger !!!!!!


We might regret it guys.

Actually, I did forget about that and you are totally correct. My question has been (finally) answered and so I will again return to the lonely shadows.

Without the vision and the scarlet witch
I don't think i'm going to enjoy "much" this movie
those characters are the soul of the avengers for me

problem is they haven't been introuduced yet
those Xmen movie could have use the scarlet witch at least once.
iron man with all his advanced technologies could have created a cybord
and download a man soul into it
I know it's complicated to do it exactly like in the comic books
but i'm not too crazy about the black widow in the avenges which i believe belong more to the champion team
and nick fury assembling the team !?
c'mon now!
"even though it' seems logic for the movies"
they are coming up with scenarios for people who don't know nothing about the comics
but at least be faithful to it.

 

[Diamondhead]

^^ Don't forget ... The hammer can turn into a walking stick

yes indeed and people seems to forget that because of all the alter ego version who did'nt need a walking stick
that's why i'd like to see a few adjustment when thor is using his hammer in "combat mode"
the hammer could shapeshift a bit to the will of thor depending on how he needs to use it specially in the handle which could get a little longer
why not !
i've seen different version of thor with a different hammer
after all he his a god and imposing his will to mjolnir is not a far strech.

 

[BigThor]

^^^ Wow

What about singing? It's not such a stretch to say that a god may have a nice voice.

Thor could sing ole Asgardian folk songs during a banquet. Maybe Sif could do the backing vocals.

I also like Kid Rock. He bends the rules.

Back on topic, I read a Thor comic today. Turns out his hammer has many unique properties and capabilities similar to the weapon Tommy used as the White Ranger.

[Mrs. Sawyer]

haha @ Hulk as Yellow Ranger.

 

[Van Petrol]

Lol! No wonder he's pissed.. t:

 

[steintym]

Nice

 

[BizarroAids]

Lol! No wonder he's pissed.. t:

Lol, he's pissed because that tiny helmet won't fit on his huge head. t:

 

[Iron_Stark]

LMAO! That's friggen awesome.

But shouldn't the Hulk be the Green Ranger, Cap/Blue, Iron Man/Red?

 

[Chewy]

If I remember my Power Rangers the red one was the leader and the blue one was the techie

 

[UltimateJustin]

Accurate.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

It's because of the earlier joke where UJ joked that Thor was like the White Ranger (in which the Green Ranger became).

If I remember my Power Rangers the red one was the leader and the blue one was the techie

Haha, and the Black Ranger was there just to be badass. Plus the Pink Ranger was there to look hot so all of them are pretty accurate.

 

[BigThor]

The yellow ranger was pretty hot as well in my opinion.

 

[Chewy]

Fun fact: the yellow ranger was a dude in Japan. This explains why only the pink ranger wore a skirt

 

[BigThor]

Cool, I always wondered why she didn't wear a skirt.
