    So

    I was thinking about how in the comics Vision had his brain patterns modeled after Simon Williams

    well, what if they introduced Vision in Avengers 2 but had them modeled after Coulson's personality instead?

    It isn't a perfect solution because he would be a superpowered robot instead of a dude in a suit but hey I would happily take it

    Christ I hate myself for clicking this
    I do too
    But I'd hate Whedon more if I hadn't. This way I'm not surprised by his BS.

    so I'm planning on watching each of the Avengers' respective movies leading up to The Avengers

    I'm gonna go chronologically, but should I watch Captain America last... or first

    I need the most optimal experience possible

    Well, the movies are all over the mark chonologically.

    Basically
    WW2 Captain America Stuff
    Incredible Hulk Opening Stuff
    Iron Man
    First part of Incredible Hulk (Everything up to him making it to the University)
    Iron Man 2/Thor/Incredible Hulk weave in and out of each other.
    Last two scenes of Incredible Hulk
    Present Day Cap stuff.

    The comic "Fury's Big Week" clarifies the interving of the 3 movies.

    Personally I go by theme, especially leading into the Avengers

    -Start with Cap, as everything sort of starts here: the super soldier program, the Stark dynasty, and the tesseract
    -Then go to Iron Man and Iron Man 2, as they work well leading into each other, establish SHIELD and reminds people of the cosmic cube
    -I put incredible hulk here because it leads off of Stark and I think thor goes better last
    -I put Thor last as it reveals the whole Asgard technology concept, as well as directly sets up the avengers at the end with Loki and the Tesseract.

    A Funny thing happened on the way to Thor's Hammer and the Consultant go before and after Thor, respectively.


    Ah, I had no idea that Iron Man 2/Thor/Hulk were so intertwined. Though now I'm remembering that Tony is onboard with forming the Avengers in the post-credits scene for Hulk, but not into it throughout Iron Man 2.

    Yeahhhh I'll probably follow the same order you've got there. Thor feels like it should lead into The Avengers (especially because of Loki's arc) and I like the idea of watching Cap first and then seeing super soldier come back in Incredible Hulk and Poppa Stark's legacy come back in IM2.

    Well
    I don't hate Whedon for killing off characters, I've watched almost everything from Buffy on and I know it's something he does a lot, and as long as there's meaning or at least emotional resonance to it then I'm fine with it

    And I should have assumed somebody would die in this movie

    I'm just mad that now I know who

    FUCK you guys, the spoilers are now unmarked because of the quote tree collapse

    you buttheads almost got me

    Quote tree collapse? Looks fine to me.

  • UnbrokenEvaUnbrokenEva HIGH ON THE WIRE BUT I WON'T TRIP ITRegistered User regular
    I think he means Blank's original disclaimer that it is a "heavy duty Avengers spoiler" was hidden by the quote tree collapse so he didn't realize what the spoilers were spoiling.

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Um, I tried to edit the post to include warnings, but I already edited it once and now the button is gone

    Can I seriously only edit a post one time here or what

  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    you know

    not that you guys didn't put shit behind tags or anything but

    I really really don't get the need to find this shit out before you even see the movie

    I don't understand it at all

    Guys I just read the first trade of Hickman's S.H.I.E.L.D. it is so good.

    also they snuck in a reference to Fraction's "Five Fists of Science" which is also great.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    So Avengers currently has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 6 reviews. I know not every critic will have a positive review but that's a damn good sign.

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!
  • DJ EebsDJ Eebs Moderator, Administrator admin
    or maybe someone just won't like it

  • nightmarennynightmarenny Registered User regular
    I look forward to the inevitable negative review that's just there for the attention.

    Though nothing will ever beat the Watchmen review in which the review cited every deviation from the normal world as flaw in an alternate history movie.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    I still need to see the extended version of Watchmen.

    I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!
  • nightmarennynightmarenny Registered User regular
    Oh surely there will be someone who truly doesn't like.

    But in any well acclaimed movie there is a first super negative review that is just silly.

    You do actually. The rest of that is speculation. Honestly if you read the first sentence you may as well read the rest.

    It can't hurt you anymore.

    Haha.

    I'm sorta amazed that with how much they've released I'm still not entirely sure what all is going to happen.
    LIke why does everybody fight Thor? Confusion when he's dragged out of Asgard? Loki trick?

    So everybody gets together and Hulk leaves after a fight with Loki. He escapes and gets his army by trading thanos the cube. Then what? What's his plan? What's with people worshiping him?

    I also watched the animated Iron Man movie that came out right before the live action one

    and I am so glad that the live action one was nothing like it

    Good Marvel animated movies (i.e. the ones I own)

    Dr. Strange
    Planet Hulk
    Hulk Vs
