spoilery speculation on the aliens.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the SHEILD veterans, Hawkeye and Widow, who have been the best they have, almost becoming the WORST overnight as all these superheroes just magically join the team. I love that it will be addressed that suddenly these two feel very overwhelmed.
In Iron Man 2 she basically kicked all kinds of ass,
stuck the director's head in between her legs,and was visibly annoyed at babysitting Stark. She stepped in and saved the day barely breaking a sweat. She thinks Iron Man is an amateur. I'll will love watching Thor going all "ye charming earthly wench" and getting verbally spanked.Yeah, that's kicking all sorts of ass all right
Still, the aliens must be something.
It's not alien army all on her own ass.
I'm just saying I liked the moment when she's with Hawkeye - the only guy she really KNOWS on this last-second save the world team - and is like, holy shit this is way beyond what we're trained for.
In Iron Man 2, she takes forever to beat up a bunch of overweight security guards (who probably wouldn't have been fighting if she'd just explained she was from the government and that Whiplash had turned on their boss).

He sees it at the end of Thor. That's all we know.
I assume we will see him actually obtain it during Avengers.
and then I assume we will see him get the shit kicked out of him.
Figures out his plan AND gets him, if I remember right? Pretty cool imho.
I like a lot what they did with the SHIELD agents in the movies, both her and Coulton.
She doesn't bust Vanko. As I recall, she just gives War Machine control of his armor again.
And her spying isn't all that impressive, especially since it revolves around Stark allowing her to get close because he likes looking at her giant cans. I mean, that's the only reason he lets her get close to him, right?
Potts is much more impressive as a character. She takes charge of the company, keeps her head during the droid attack, and shuts down secondary antagonist Justin Hammer.

Those probably are
I always swing for the park on these things.
@robots mmmyeahh, I can't remember. She did run to Vanko's hideout in Happy's car, right? I think she forced Vanko to abandon the droids' remote controls, and shut them down? Nevermind anyway. She's cool anyway. And she had and impressive curriculum, up to speaking fluent Latin, no?
We all loved the giant cans, tho. She's so awesome she should have refused to wear goddamn high heels on her combat suit.

Of course, we'd likely know if Namor was in this movie, so that probably won't happen. I can dream, though.
I'd like that a lot, especially if it means that Loki has nothing to do with the invading horde, and he shows up, all being, "Give me the power to rule and I will defend your people from this invasion," and SHIELD's all, "Don't do it, earth, we got this, just give us time."
But yeah, I guess I could believe Namor being a concealed carry-on part. He's not huge in the public eye right now. I guess...I dunno. They could get, like, Javier Bardem to play Namor. Might not be too tough to do.
from what i've seen, this is in fact Namor's response to everything, and he could probably have it tattooed on his forehead
Yeah seriously Black Widow's a bad-ass but anyone can guess the result of a fight between her and Hulk/Thor/Ironman/Cap.
I mean ironman has those crazy any personnel homing bullets.

Isn't that something Loki did in the first issue of the Avengers anyway? Turned the hulk against them? I would not mind this. In one of the shots in the trailer it looks like the Hulk is chasing Black Widow as well
Eh, I don't see it. Javier Bardem is a brick wall of a man. Namor is a toned swimmer-type.
I actually think Mark Strong or Rufus Sewell would be great for Namor. Somebody who's good at playing nobility combined with arrogant contempt.
Excellent choice, sir. I'm ashamed to say I was choosing Namor strictly on actors with compatible hairstyles. Mr. Dark City deserves more choice roles.
im pretty sure they just dont have the rights to use the skrulls. so theyre using not-skrulls or chitauri or some other skrull-like alien nonsense.
In a way I'm glad its not skrulls. Because If they don't shapeshift, they ain't skrulls. and if they shapeshift, you have to use that as a plotpoint in the story. because shapeshifting has like a million plothooks and is awesome. You cant waste skrulls on a non-shapeshifty plotline. generic alien race FTW!
Then I don't think you have been paying attention.
Several major people in the crew said that it is a specific alien race that already exists in the Marvel Universe and isn't either the Kree or Skrull. If it were the Chitauri why wouldn't he just say?
People are always pushing the idea that "maybe the movie maker is lying" but most often nobody can give a reason. If there is no motive you shouldn't treat it like a credible theory.
And they don't even look like Skrull!

Which sucks because I love Namor. The Namor mini series about his son or whatever, after Civil War when he decided to put Nitro in his Atlantean prison, was so great.
Also - as a die hard Captain America fan, I absolutely love his loyalty to Cap. When I heard the Invaders were in Cap, I got excited until I realized it was just Dum Dum and company.
I'd love to see Captain America 2 feature Namor and Human Torch (the android - who has a cameo in Cap 1).
Would they be able to use the android version if Fox still owns the Fantastic Four? I understand they're separate characters, but I feel like that's just the sort of thing Fox would be a bitch about.
Incidently, it's been a while since the last FF crapfest, does Fox still own them, and if not, what are the chances we could get a good film out of that one?
They just made a 3rd fantastic Four "movie" to keep the rights. Not even releasing it in theaters.

Wait, what?
Last I heard they wanted the guy who did Chronicle to reboot it and they can't already be in danger of losing the FF rights, if they still have the Daredevil ones despite that movie coming out in 2003.
occasionallywearsahat.com, my rambly ramblings of ramble
Yeah, give us some more on this, sources or something. Not saying I doubt it, but I wasn't aware a company could make a movie but never release it and still retain the rights in the process.
Aaaaaaaaah!

Well, there's one, for starters. I don't know about the other two, though.

My new novel:
Maledictions: The Offering.
Now in Paperback!
The only movies I'm seeing are the notoriously awful and not-released 90s one, and the two big-budget ones.
