Here's that new Avengers 2 Trailer
Looks pretty snazzy, and like Superman/ Batman better not bring a knife to this gunfight when the JLA forms here shortly.
Of the various Marvel movies, Avengers still isn't my favorite. Doesn't have to be, because that's a lot of movies and I've liked all of them to some extent or other. Even both versions of The Hulk (don't judge me). So I'm not going to act like a goon and pretend for two seconds like I'm not pretty jazzed about this trailer and the ones that preceded it.
You may recall that I wasn't (and am not) much of an Avengers reader when it comes to the comics, so I don't have too many preconceived notions regarding Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In fact, I'm still confused about what happened to Monica Rambeau - Captain Marvel as she was in the first Avengers comic I ever read (she had a rad power set).*
Anyway, this looks like a pretty crazy summer blockbuster. It's interesting to watch the Marvel U gel and become something long known by comic fans but unknown in almost any other media. And these Avengers movies that pull the whole thing together are a pretty great idea.
So, what have y'all been thinking when it comes to Avengers 2 and the Marvel Cinematic U?
*I may have a comic with her in it that's sitting on my coffee table that I just haven't read yet. Is she in Mighty Avengers?
Film. Comics. Sci-Fi. Superheroes. Pulp. Noir. History. Superman. 20th Century Archaeology.
I'm actually a little worried about this movie. I guess it will all hang on whether they make Ultron an interesting villain, but in the trailer, at least, he looks like a pretty generic bad robot.
ReplyDeleteI was a little disappointed since this trailer differs in maybe two frames from the last trailer.
ReplyDeleteI'm not part of the Whedon-Brigade, and parts of Avengers still really bug me (particularly that Brady Bunch-like argument in the shop around Loki's staff), but we'll have to see. It may be telling that Whedon is already said to be out for anymore Marvel films.
