Jesus Christ... this again??
I respect the man. I appreciate all he did for Marvel in the past... but the man is DEAD! You need to LET IT GO!!!
Geez...

I'm free to decide for myself, as are you.

A creator recently addressed the fact that there is plenty that viewers can do about this. Go to abuckforjack.com and donate some money every time you go see Avengers. Proceeds go to the Jack Kirby Museum.

spoilers:

Somebody on another thread mentioned that actor could come back as a certain super-hero. I thought it was an excellent suggestion and hope it comes thru. That actor would totally fit that super-hero!

I've heard this rumor and it does sound kind of neat. That said, I doubt it. I can't go into my reasons without spoilers and since I don't recall how to do tags, I'll have to leave it be.

Ehh, seems to me you're just trying to spin some negative vibes. Wonder why...

I don't see much negativity in his tone. It IS a shame that Jack Kirby got screwed. That said, I'm still going to see this movie eighteen times in theaters and buy like forty-two copies on Blu Ray.

The forty-third is going to Kirby's familty though right?

I suppose I could do that. Which Avenger did they create again?

Anyone here ever actually had shawarma? Is it good?

We have at least 20 in our city (and the size of my city is nothing to brag about), so they're easy to get he.

And yes, me and 2 of my Avengers seeing co-workers had them today for lunch, prompted by the movie. And they were delicious.

Ok, I'm back. Shawarma? Goooood stuff! I got a chicken one and it's a little big for me, but delicious. Now I want to try more food from this cafe. Look what you started Joss Whedon and Tony Stark!!!!!!

Bottom line: recommended. The meat is very flavorful and the hot/cold mix between it, the veggies and the neutral pita ... mmm, mmm good.

spoilers:

As noted, the actor has been in talks for further Marvel films as recently as December (Which was after Avengers finished shooting). I sincerely doubt this is actual the end for said individual.

end of spoilers

Unless that was all misdirection to keep things secret. Wouldn't be the first time we've seen that in Hollywood.

[Darth Tigris]

Jack Kirby would have bought a ticket to see this movie himself. I guarantee it.

Hardly! TPTB wouldn't let Kirby spend one cent on this or any Marvel movie. He'd have had a cameo (if he accepted) and would've had VIP seats for the premiere.
