    I remember that old TV show ...lol If I'm right they even had a movie in the 90's called the Avengers.
    Hulk have to be around 10 ft in this movie, the poster looks great!

    I like how the city is under attack and Captain America is busy attempting a heroic pose. Is there someone painting his portrait off camera?

    Terrible photoshop, kids. Everything I've seen from the Avengers has so far looked shockingly vanilla.

    I really don't understand why they keep doing these terrible composite images, where they just slap pre-existing photos together and pretend they were all really there like that. This doesn't look good to me at all.

    Yeah ever since I saw the trailer, I've felt like this movie is just taking way too direct translations of comic books, which doesn't necessarily work in live action.

    Where's the Black Widow's ass?
    The Punisher: I’m going to cauterize your rectum, sealing it shut, so when you turn those delicious Pink Pants™ Fruit Pies into waste products the bilirubin in your feces will leach into your bloodstream and you’ll die screaming! And I’ll watch while having sex with this grateful prostitute!

    Trussed-Up Hooker: Blueberry are my favorite!

    In other words, what StoneGold said.

    I kind of wish the article was a critical look at the poster rather than just an advertisement for it. It's just bad, and that really needs to sang from the tops of the mountain so someone involved with these posters understands that.

    Still better than the Thor posters...

    Not to just jump on the bandwaggon here, but this poster is just garbage. It is amazing to me that Marvel doesn't know piss poor design when they see it. I wish they had gone with a classy painted image like Star Wars, or Indiana Jones posters used to have. They could have given us something with style and a sense of grandeur, and instead they continue to give us garbage photoshop barely worthy of a six year old's birthday party paper plates. Black widow's face isn't even really in focus. I keep thinking they'll reveal the good poster soon, but the movie is only two months away.

    Oh well. I still liked the trailer, so all is not lost. I just hope this doesn't keep people out of theaters.

    I'm totally overjoyed that they've tweeked the title for us stupid British people.

    Because as a culture we're soooo proud of The Avengers Ralph Fiennes/Uma Thurman film.

    And I'm sure there will be loads of Welshmen that are unable to understand why a Giant green man has replaced John Steed...
