jerrygoodman Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I haven't seen a thread for this yet, so I figure I may as well get the ball rolling... After the successes of Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger this summer, I imagine there's got to be more than a few of us who are psyched to see Earth's Mightiest Heroes coming together on the silver screen next May. So my question to you is...what are your thoughts on the film? Quote
durendal Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Avengers? Can't wait! Though I've heard rumors that there would be skrulls in it. I can't dispel this rumor because I saw marvel showcasing the Infinity Gauntlet in their road show. So the Avengers movie is going cosmic? I wonder how they're gonna pull that off? Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Somehow I think Loki and the Cosmic Cube (or Tesseract) will play a major part in the Skrulls' appearance... Btw, check this out... http://video-embed.cleveland.com/services/player/bcpid649725534001?bctid=1115496319001 More on the way soon, so stay tuned... Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Footage from the filming in Cleveland, this is gonna be epic Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 And here's Chris Evans in the updated Cap suit http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/168209-captain-america-on-the-cleveland-set-of-the-avengers I dare anyone to say that this movie won't be awesome!!! Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Just found these off of SuperHeroHype. it's from the Cleveland filming: Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 This just in: Two of the summer's biggest heroes gearing up for the Avengers! Cap and Thor practicing fight choreography Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 THIS. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS: Cap and Thor: ROUND 2!!! Quote
durendal Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 WHAT!?!?!?! CAP GOT SHOT!!! That's heresy! How in the world would the world's greatest fighter get shot point blank during a fist fight? Also, both of them looks a lot thinner than they did in their respective movies. Quote
Salkafar Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Captain America is super-human, not superhuman. He can be shot. It's just not very likely. Also, the Marvel movies are winched just that much closer to reality than the comics. Is it me, or will dr.Erik Selvig be filling the role traditionally taken by Hank Pym? I don't mean that he'll grow to giant or shrink to tiny size, but that he's gonna be their science guy... It kind of bites me that they left out (Gi-)Ant-Man and the Wasp. But I understand. It might seem goofy, and this movie can't afford to be goofy. They already tried the light-hearted approach with the Fantastic Four movies and it didn't work for me... and yet, I understand that, too. The Avengers are a team. The Fantastic Four are a family. Quote
durendal Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I think it would still work if they include Pym, but not as his super hero alter ego. Pym was better known for his scientific achievements than his heroic exploits. So the skrulls angle seems to be true. I just wonder who's going to wield the infinity gauntlet. Most likely Loki, and probably less powerful than its comics counterpart. Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Nah, durendal. I say if anyone's gonna wield the Gauntlet, it's most likely gonna be Thanos. They'll probably do an after-credits scene or something where he breaks into Odin's vault and makes off with the gauntlet...but that's just my guess. Edited August 21, 2011 by jerrygoodman Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Avengers footage screened at D23 Expo! Quote
durendal Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Wheres the footage? Didn't anyone have a camera to get a shot at the footage? Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 Probably, but no one seems to have posted it yet... If I find anything, I'll let you know! Quote
Salkafar Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Man, I can't say how much I love it that Robert Downey is Iron Man. The man is a diva. The Infinity Gauntlet? I sure hope not. It was a pretty poor plot device in the comics... I think it would be a total failure in the movies. Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Actually, Salkafar, the Gauntlet could be a very real possibility... Quote
durendal Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 I don't know. Since the gauntlet was shown prior to the Thor movie, I think they intended it to be used in the Thor Movie. This could be one of the treasures in Odin's treasure room, or an easter egg in the Thor Movie. Perhaps it is a ploy from Marvel to mislead the fans from the true story of the Avengers movie. We have nine more months to speculate before we actually find out. Besides, the Gauntlet looks more Asgardian than cosmic. And even if the Infinity Gauntlet were true with Thanos in it, I definitely hope that they will depict the scene were Cap was the last man standing facing off against Thanos. All we've ever seen of the Avengers movie are short clips and action scenes. So we still have no idea what the movie will be about. Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) Also found another tidbit regarding the filming in Cleveland... ...and boom goes the dynamite. Edited August 22, 2011 by jerrygoodman Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Agent Maria Hill talks about The Avengers! And Cap comes to save the day! Edited August 23, 2011 by jerrygoodman Quote
durendal Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 I just can't help but think Robin Scherbatsky every time I look at Colbie Smudgers. I think it's too much How I met your mother for me. But cool. I hope we get to feast our eyes on some more eye candy soon. Though I have a feeling that the cast are deliberately leaking false information to protect the story of the Avengers. Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Maybe, durendal. I did remember hearing a story about the Avengers script being stolen a while back... But then again, Loki could still be up to his old tricks... Edited August 23, 2011 by jerrygoodman Quote
jerrygoodman Posted August 24, 2011 Author Posted August 24, 2011 Something has occurred to me -- we've been seeing plenty of footage of Cap, Thor, and most recently Loki -- but where the heck are Tony, Clint, Natasha, Bruce, and Nick? Quote
