Is it time for us nerds to start anticipating THE AVENGERS, directed by Joss Whedon?

It still has Avengers in the title though! I don't get how that title is less confusing.

lol at this btw

who knows how studio execs/marketing people's minds work really?

Maybe they could make it AV3NG5RS

eh?

eh?

I'll just wait for AVENGERS 2: THE AVENGERING

AV2 AVENGE THIS

"Avenged!" (with Liam Neeson)

Alternatively: "Avenge Harder."

I'll Always Know What You Avenged Last Summer

looks great! i like that they're including some of the less well-known avengers, like hawkeye and scarlett johannson.

It's lame that they went for the "kewl" Matrix style Ultimate Marvel redesign of Hawkeye's costume, though. The original costume has a classic design, all they would've needed to do was tweak the horns of the mask and the tunic, as they probably don't look that good in live action:

What's even lamer is that in the main Marvel continuity Hawkeye now has the same stupid Matrix costume, most likely for cross-marketing purposes.

i agree about ultimate hawkeye being lame - thats a design thats really aged poorly - but i've always thought all his iterations were pretty lame looking. at least hes not wearing wraparound shades in this

they did go with one of the most overtly comic booky costumes ive ever seen for captain america though

Yeah, Captain America is the one example where they could've modernized the costume a bit more. His helmet is especially goofy, as it makes his head look bloated in a weird way. Maybe they should've given him a hood instead of a helmet, like in the comics?

he sorta looks like an overgrown toddler now.

Captain America's costume looked great in his solo movie but the modern design is kind of terrrible

I dunno, I thought the helmet looked goofily big in that one too. Either he should have a hood, or a helmet that doesn't cover his whole head.

I guess the reason they didn't want to change Cap's costume too much is because he's the best known and most iconic of these characters?

Not really! I would say the hulk by far.

the hulk doesn't really have a costume to change though

That depends on how good Ruffalo looks in purple cutoffs.

Cap. America is a strict costume constructionist. He's all about tradition.

if they kept hawkeye's loincloth it would have bene ridiculous.

But couldn't they find some way to obscure Renner's pudgy face?

man that's a whole lotta 90s leftovers

ooh, exclusive Kasabian track

what the

glad to see some dude landed a job putting together 'the avengers' soundtrack

lol

i'm psyched about the new soundgarden song, i won't lie. i think....three? of the other bands have made at least one single i've enjoyed in the last few years.

I really don't think I should be looking at the soundtrack for a 2012 movie and thinking "the most appealing-looking song on here is the Photek remix of Evanescence"

yeah i didnt even know new soundgarden was a thing that was happening, so thats cool

thought about posting that pic in this thread the crow ost is the worst record i have ever heard

haha lol @ dom bashing the romeo + juliet ost in the third post

oh it totally belongs there (xpost)

"inspired by the soundtrack to Spawn"
but yeah, i thought of the crow thread IMMEDIATELY

Very Whedon-y

joss whedon just could not resist giving her a wooden stake at the end, could he

i am pleasantly surprised that Clark Gregg has parlayed that bit part in Iron Man into an increasingly large role in 4 of these Marvel movies, i like that guy

i was trying to look up who that is, i've always liked him!

married to jennifer gray, founding member of the atlantic theater company. huh, i didn't know any of that

to me he was "dude who has been knocking bit parts in law & order and mamet movies out of the park forever"

yeah hes been mametguy to me forever

they should get mamet to do one of these marvel thingies

oh god not now

misfit superpeople defending the_west from its enemies, or is it... from itself?

lol
