Okay, I loved that trailer. Well, RDJ makes everything better and the other eye candy certainly doesn't hurt. Captain America being snarky to Tony Stark was great and Tony's reply was priceless. I'll definitely have to see this in the theatres. Bruce Banner not being scrawny doesn't bother me, he just looked like a regular guy which is fine. Anyone who suggests Shia Lebarf for anything should be burned at the stake.  |

I'm sure LaDouche has already been cast for Avengers 2. It's required they have a different actor in every movie for Banner.

I'm looking forward to cap and thor fighting for what I assume is leadership of the team. Expecting a very cool hand luke type win for the cap.

I dunno...I would have liked to have seen another movie for Thor to develop his individual character a bit more. Seems like they're just rushing to cash in on the fan-boy train by throwing him into a new Iron Man + some other people movie.

The plan for IM2> Thor> Cap> Avengers was announced back in 2008, so no. |

Something I forgot to mention yesterday was that Tony Stark is wearing a Black Sabbath t-shirt in one of the scenes. It's the little things that make me smile.

You know what I find most interesting ?
That trailer was the CLOSEST we've come in years to the 'Spandex, colourful Superheroes' that we grew up with.
I find that interesting.

I'm sure they'll hand him his suit and he'll say "At least it's not purple!" Half the audience will then laugh and half will facepalm.

Archer Guy is still incredibly fucking lame.
Question for the comic guys, there's nothing actually preventing Tony Stark from making like, dozens of IronMen is there? I mean from a 'technological' stand point. I know he has his own personal reservations with distributing the suit and stuff, but if he was so inclined, anyone could have one of those suits right? He could make enough suits for an entire team of SHIELD Agents or whatever?

Yeah, IMO the 2nd Iron Man movie nicely addressed that his technology is going to get out sometimes. *Edit* Being inspired by Armor Wars, etc. |

BW doesn't look so hot in the movie. Hmmm still confused why they don't replace hulk with giant man or something. Would've been easier to swallow. Hulk is just......a brainless mass of muscles.

Hulk is one of the original Avengers. If anything Black Widow and Hawkeye should have been booted for Ant-Man and Wasp. I think they are going to show up in Avengers 2 though, if they finally get that Ant-Man movie out before then.

I'm sure that they'll include Ant-Man and Wasp to the delight of geeks and the derision of just about everybody else. I know very little about the comics but they both sound very silly. Black Widow and Hawkeye are characters I can understand and get behind. Two people who shrink in size? Find the idea hard to take seriously. Having said that, a while back Production Weekly alluded to the fact that they might appear in one form or another in this film (maybe like the appearance of Hank McCoy in X-Men 2). |

Hawkeye is really incredibly lame. He has a bow and arrow...that's his power? Lol? His outfit is ugly and his personality is grating. He was even the worst part of the recent Avengers cartoon.

Well, yeah, that's as maybe - but you say to me "bow and arrow" and I think, yeah, that's cool, kinda like Rambo, Robin Hood or even Legolas. You say to me "Ant-man" and I'm thinking "Boiling water?" |

Doesn't Ant-Man also grow to like 50 feet tall?
If you take Green Arrow, then remove all the camp and charm and try to make him 'gritty' you get shitty archer guy from the Avengers here.

Huh. It's interesting to note that Henry Pym (a.k.a. Ant-Man) was intended as the "other scientist" noted in the Thor movie, that had previous experience with SHIELD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antman#Film |

Ant-Man is also Giant-Man and can grow, and The Wasp is often written as comic relief or as the reader stand-in.
I agree that "people who can shrink" isn't an exciting super power but at least they have personalities. Hawkeye is just a smarmy douche.

There's a line in the latest trailer: "you were made to be ruled". The voice I think belongs to the actor who played Loki, but the sentiment suggests the Kree.

Werent the Kree the main villian in the "Avengers Assemble" animated movie thing they did a few years ago? Almost exactly same cast and story setup as the current movie series tie-ins, but they put together the team to stop an alien invasion. I think the only major difference was that Thor was not trapped in asgard, but instead was actively out and about on earth at the time. |

You're thinking of Ultimates, which is where the Marvel movie-verse pretty much comes from. I believe it was the Kree who invaded Earth. Thor was an environmentalist kicking around the world and no one could figure out whether he was crazy for claiming to be the Son of Odin or actually a god on Earth.

I look forward to seeing how the interaction of the personalities and the team Forming, Storming, Performing, and Reforming will work out for the Avengers films.
Hank's marriage and abusiveness seems to be the main quality that separates him from Tony Stark; they have similar archetypes when you consider the brilliant, arrogant scientist background. Powers are different, sure, but its the personalities and their interaction with each other that people seem to get more of a kick out of seeing. Janet, depending on her implementation, could add a less serious, more love-oriented role to the team that isn't present in the current roster.
The fact Tony / Downey would overshadow Hank / (?) in achievements / acting performance would be good fuel for Hank's anger and feelings of inferiority climaxing with the eventual release of it towards his wife. The reaction of the different characters towards that dysfunctional marriage is the money shot of the subplot.
I noticed none of the initial team members are dealing with any kind of intimate relationships, though Hawkeye and Black Widow haven't been explored too deeply. Any type of character flaw exploration would appear to be through personality and priority clash. The first movie should appeal more to the target demographic as a result.

Spousal abuse is never going to be included in a summer blockbuster unless it's by the villain. Sorry to rain on all the marvel geeks parades and what-not but take a step back and think about how colossally stupid that would be.
Maybe if marvel did a "gritty reboot" like batman begins it might work but the current avengers are anything but gritty.

I love Whedon (Angry rant from you know who in 3...2...) but I wasn't really looking forward to this. However, the trailer looks quite cool and I'm actually thinking I'll have to see this now.
One thing that's cool is Mark Ruffalo called Ed Norton and got his sign off to take the Hulk role. I am not sure he is up to this role but he seemed alright in the trailer. I have a sneaky suspicion that Cap, Thor and Iron Man will dominate this movie if only because the three actors involved seemed to be the most talented in the cast IMO.

Don't count Renner out, he has acted his ass off in other flicks. |
