Movies The Avengers
was going to post in the previous thread about this, but it's beyond page one so i thought would be proper to make a new one.

So, the movie is upon us... some reviews are in, all hugely positive. Seems like is nothing short of a homerun for the entire endevour!

I already got my Ticket (Debuts April 27 here!) and now i'm just waiting to see this beautiful thing!

Also, i checked online as i always do to see if there was going to be any Post-Credit stuff on this one... and it turns out it DOES have. It wasn't even shown to the Critics... so i'm going to post it here, in spoilers, and if you don't want to see it, please, keep away from it.

So, in the Post-Credits, Thanos is revealed. Quick, short and sweet scene showing him basking on Loki's defeat and turning an eye towards earth and the Avengers with his trademark grim... and that's pretty much it

Eh, it's got a 50/50 chance of being good based on the Whedon part. That said, it actually looked more vapid plotwise than Iron Man 2. That's pretty vapid.

I'm skeptical because it's got four big-name heroes and two "hey we're here too" heroes who all have their own personalities and stories crammed into a 1-2 hour long film. Not much time to delve into any meaningful character development or plotline other than something along the lines of: "HEY GUYS GO BE ON A TEAM." "NO WE DO NOT WANT TO BE ON A TEAM BECAUSE THE HULK IS A TERRIBLE TEAMMATE AND ALSO IRON MAN IS KIND OF A DICK." "LOOK, I DON'T CARE, GO BE ON A TEAM." "OKAY FINE. OH LOOK VILLAINS! LET'S FIGHT STUFF." "HULK SMASH!" "OKAY COOL NOW WE ARE A REAL TEAM CUZ WE FOUGHT STUFF AND LEARNED VALUABLE LESSONS ABOUT TEAMWORK. OH, AND ALSO THIS NOT-COOL-ENOUGH-FOR-HIS-OWN-FILM ARCHER DUDE AND THE OBLIGATORY HOT CHICK ARE HERE." THE END


On the other hand, I'm excited because Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man is the greatest thing (even though the sequel's plot was pretty terrible, I still liked the character) and I look forward to Iron Man being a jerk to everyone else.

I don't really get the "how will they give personality and character to all the leads" arguement that people keep making, since A) we've already had several movies establishing most of them anyway, and B) there aren't that many characters to worry about really. There's essentially 6 (7 if you include Nick Fury, which I do) and Loki as the villain, all of which have already had screen time in previous movies (except Hawkeye really) and which is still about the average number of protagonists for your average action movie, and they'll all get a lot more screen time than a lot of other major characters from most other action movies.

So that arguement just doesn't work.

And besides which, individual character developments are for individual story arcs in each of their respective movies, Avengers is about them all getting together, shit blowing up and the heroes kicking the crap out of aliens (and probably each other).

Also, it's like two and a half hours long! (With a reported 30mins of deleted scenes that'll eventually see home video release...) So I wouldn't worry about lack of character development moments.

Isn't being 2 and 1/2 hours long a bad thing? Like this is supposed to be an action movie- pack it out in 90 minutes- like I don't want to sit through that long of a superhero film.
