Whoa, wait a minute! If you drink his radiactive blood you die, yet if it gets mixed into a cut on your head you become the Leader?
I have such mixed feelings about this movie, i need a second viewing to solidify an opinion. But i did feel the FX do be inconsistant from sequence to sequence and im already tired of Marvel desperately trying to tie there movies together. Avengers movie my ass! talk about counting your chicks before they hatch: Thor will never be able to stand in his own film.
Couldn't disagree more. I think Thor will be a huge underdog success in the same way this Hulk was. And as for "counting chicks before they hatch" Look what DC did in not preparing, look how many times and ways a Justic League film has already been shot down.
Now if Justice League happens, It won't be with Routh or Bale. In fact they tryed to squeeze in a new Batman while we still would have gotten Bale as Batman in a 3rd and people freaked. How does that make sence?
Marvel knows exactly what there doing, making sure that all the actors and players are on board from the get go w/ this Avengers film.
We already know people respond very well to Iron Man and Hulk. Thor and Captain will be period pieces, in WWII and Asgard. Worst case scenario if the idea of say Thor in Asgard did fail at the B.O., your not trying that again, your putting him in modern day w/ Avenegers and a fresh slate.
Also now they don't have the issue of how do you give all these characters backstories. I don't want to spend the first hour and a half of the film learing about the team w/ 20 mins of action. We will already know what drives all of them, and what brought them togeather. That means we get more time for them to bond togeather and become a proper team, and more room for equal action for everyone's favorite Avenger.
Imagine if DC does Justic League. Who the hell is Green Lantern? I mean I've heard of him, but I never read it, or Wonder Woman so I dunno what drives them, and I wouldn't care to learn one character after another w/ little or no action. Plus then when do they fight as a team? Its a movie about the team right?
DC Would have to spend alot of time giving each character a back story. If they don't people won't care. Also Batman isn't being played by Bale, so is it still that same Batman. Or is this a differant Batman w/ a differant back story? If thats the case, DC wants me to care about 2 Batman movies? No Thanks, I'll just stick w/ the regular ones.
I really think this will be the first movie of this kind, that truely does work, and it's because of Marvel's prep. I also have little doubt others will try to ride the wave, like DC w/ a Justic League film, but I think its Justice League that will fail.
