Avengers Movie *Spoilers*

[lead sharp]

Such a thing would tank in massive ways undreamt of by feeble human imaginations.

Iron Man, Spider-Man's 1 and 2, Superman 1,2 and 3 and indeed many others have, if not been huge then moderately successful and been faithful to the comic.

Scott Pilgrim and Kick Ass both lifted pretty much straight from the page and are both cult hits.

In fact let's be honest here. If the Thing and Doctor Doom had been cgi and the scarred ruler of Latveria respectively then the Fantastic Four would have held up a hell of a lot better.

You can adapt, fiddle, galvanise and adjust the costumes all you like after all artists have been doing it in the comics forever. But the basics and the soul has to be there.

Yes OK Batman wore armour in the films, but we know it's armour in the comics it just looks a little more armoury in the films. If the cape wasn't scalloped or the ears weren't there or they missed off the chest symbol or wrist spikes or utility belt then complain because it's something that's quintessential to the look of the character and the look of the character is a big part of what makes them come to life in an adaptation.

If Hawkeye is just going to wear a leather one piece (example) then he's just Hawkeye in name only. He's a superhero. Superheroes are supposed to be larger than life and make a statement. The only statement he seems to want to make is that he got lost on the way to the archery range.

they need to just get this over with. Baccarin as Jan and Nathan Fillion as Hank.

This is the closest thing to a Serenity sequel we're gonna get. And honestly, I think it would be even better than a Serenity 2. They are both fantastic actors, and would be great in supporting roles. Dang. I really really want this to happen. They would both be perfect for those roles. And the dynamic they had in Firefly/Serenity, is the kind of dynamic Janet and Hank should have. Or at least thats what I get when I read interactions between the two.

So is this the way Cap will look in the Avengers Movie? I havent really seen anyone talk about it.

Im wondering about the fighting and interaction. Personally I thought this scene was done damn near excellent! The action wasnt alot, but I think if you put Roth in a Cap costume and substitute bullets for the shield, you would have a good action scene.

I think they have enough characters. If they want to include them, cameos would be okay I guess.

[Brother Justin Crowe]

So, uh, someone photoshopped Justin Hartley, and, uh...



Yup.

[Free-Man]

Add in a LOT more black and I actually like that suit.

Here's something. Adrian Brody is apparently interested in playing Ant-Man:

i'm referring to the sequel.

[DeadXMan]

In fact let's be honest here. If the Thing and Doctor Doom had been cgi

The thing looked great in the movies and Chiklis kicked ass.

Plus why make Doom CGI? it seems to be a waste of money.

So, uh, someone photoshopped Justin Hartley, and, uh...



Yup.

That's awesome!!!

Yup.

Never really thought about it, but that outfit works way better as Hawkeye than as Green Arrow.

From news article in worstpreviews website:

We've been hearing that in "The Avengers," Loki will brainwash The Hulk, which will eventually bring Captain America, Thor and Iron Man together to stop the green giant.

There has been zero confirmation of this, until now. In a Deadline article about Cobie Smulders being the favorite to play Maria Hill in the film, the site mentions that Tom Hiddleston will return to play Loki. Ok, it's not a confirmation that Loki will brainwash anyone, but it's something.

"The Avengers" will be directed by Joss Whedon (Serenity) and is scheduled to hit theaters on May 4th, 2012.

Should have been Enchantress instead. But I guess that would be too much like what happened in the toon.

Don't have much faith in this considering it's Whedon. But at least we might be spared a "Buffyesque" female. Or Summer Glau wankfest.

The Enchantress was not even in the original story, so you shouldn't let the cartoon be your guide.

[Monty_Cristo]

i looked up Jacoba Smulders. i can see it. she has a Maria Hill look to her.

I was thinking the exact same thing.
