Re: The Avengers: The Motion Picture Discussion Thread
Okay, so other than the heroes being in the same scenes together and RDJ hurling Joss Whedon one-liners at Cap & Hulk, name one thing in this trailer we haven't already seen before.
Still anticipating the film, but sorry... the trailer left me kinda cold. After all the hype and build-up, I came away rather "meh". And I'm now too old and tired to geek-out just to geek-out, as if it's an obligation or something.
Silly, unnecessarily personal hyperbole in that analogy, dude.
Seriously, if I'm going to be raked over the coals for not blowing my wad over this trailer, I can live with that. Even if I'm the only one. It is what it is.
I just sometimes feel like we've seen everything. Bring something new and different and come big, or stay home. That's actually supposed to be the Marvel Studios motto.
Not saying that the AVENGERS movie itself won't do that. It may very well blow us all away. But this particular trailer sure didn't. That's all.
I don't think it is fair to say this is "just another superhero movie." The fact it is even getting made is unbelievable to me. If this comes together the way it should it will be a game changer.
It is THE Superhero movie which 10 years ago, Hell even 5 years ago they said couldn't get done. There is a lot riding on it being successful from all sides but in the trailer they didn't show us anything we haven't already seen save The Hulk.
Oh man, that was just great! Iron Man stole the show in this trailer. Now, where the hell can I get a HT Mark VI
? Do you guys think we'll see a Mark VII at all in this movie?
Absolutely, the leading thought is that it will be a necessity of damage and from look in the tailend of the trailer it seems to be confirmed.
Maybe I shouldn't have read all of the exclamations of ecstasy on Facebook before I watched the trailer myself for the first time. One chick actually that she was "literally crying and shaking right now" upon seeing the trailer. Then I watched it and the first thing I wondered is she must be in low blood sugar crisis right now. I mean, really?
Typical Fanboy outcry, same thing happened for TDK and will happen for most of these kind of movies.
is DC going to come out with a Justice League movie?
They gave themselves a timetable of a JLA movie by 2013, although I doubt it'll happen. Given that GL didn't do as well as expected and that there is still the jury out on whether they'll continue with it (the actors have 5 year contracts so they'll have to either pay them out or wait them out or they'll be in breach) and that Nolan has been constantly quoted that his Superman will not have interactions with other heroes in the DCU and that the Batman reboot is supposed to set Batman in that world, there is a lot still not done. It is on the planning board though, Geoff Johns spoke about it as late as the con season of last year.
They have officially stated that they are afraid to even try to compete with Marvel.
Where? I've never read that. I've read that they respect Marvel's plan and that they are different but never fear.
Seriously though... what a waste of opportunity for DC. They should be using this superhero movie craze to make Batman/Superman, Flash and Justice League movies but it's almost as if they aren't trying. Green Lantern was ok but it was still a poor effort on their part.
Blame Nolan in some part who strictly decided that his Batman was a standalone. So literally it means they can't build off of it. The reboot is supposed to do that. Also blame WB for being shortsighted. Marvel Studios had this plan back in Iron Man which was in 2008, this is the product of planning far before that. WB looks at properties as standalones where as Marvel wanted a universe.
that was sick !! but man that dr banner looks so goofy.
As he should, it helps sell the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde comparisons that the character was built from. The geekier Banner looks, the tougher that Hulk will look.
Hulk looks kind of dumb as well (to be fair though, you can see Hulk really was based on Mark Ruffalo)
I'm glad, the Norton Hulk had characteristics as did the Bana Hulk but this one really sells that it is Banner in there.
Where is the Disney logo, I saw Paramount!
I am officially hitting the emergency button with this one, aka Mike!
Ohhhh Mike
From what I can find it was a mistake on the part of the trailer editing. That the Disney logo will be placed perfectly by the time the full theatrical trailer is up. I've also read that it might be fixed on this with a secondary release.
Evans signed a six movie deal and slj signed for nine
Yes but that includes cameos. For example RDJ's contract was for four films, his cameo in The Incredible Hulk counts as one. So Evans admitted he probably won't be cameoing in various films.
it's confirmed that the skrulls are in this. actors in mocap suits were seen filming some of the outdoor battle scenes and apparently those would be replaced by cgi skrulls...
It's confirmed that the Skrulls were the villains of the game. It is confirmed that the villains will be CGI. Not who they are yet.
