Maybe they should have put “not to scale” in there for all you sharp-shooters out there. For a second there I thought I was reading comments at Big Hollywood.
Ouch, babe — serves me right for actually stopping by there yesterday to read the Act of Valor column.
Still, not our fault it looks an awful lot like someone got busy cutting-and-pasting covers from the Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk movies, plus whatever they could find for the characters minus their own flicks.
Actually Hulk was one of the original Avengers back its debut in 1963. They wrote him out and then written him back in again in the comics probably a dozen times.
Henry Pym joins pretty quickly afterwards though. Also, I had forgotten the original storyline of the Avengers back in the 60s and it looks like they might be pulling material from it as Loki was the villian back then too.
Never gonna happen, Stosh. There’s dozens of great comic book series that Hollywood hasn’t touched yet- enough material for decades of good movies, if it’s done right.
Latest joke in that part of the world: Hey did you hear about the underwear bomber? No, what’s up? Well, now that he’s been convicted, he’s gonna have more than just a bomb in his shorts!
Actually the French Batman is Muslim I think. Comic writers are hoping if they appease them enough than the Islamist will kill them last (h/t Churchill).
I hope Wheedon took note of the DC Universe Online trailer and was inspired by it. It would be kick ass to see one superhero/villain fight in the foreground, and see another in the distance simultaneously. That’s where the X-Men movies bombed in my opinion … boring ass fights. Instead of a team, they centered on individual fights at a time.
Where’s Diana Rigg?
+ ’65-’68
Really looking forward to this! Betting at least ONE guy won’t stink. Think we all know who that will be.
True… though I have high hopes that Jeremy Renner might steal the show — or share it with Downey. Hawkeye has great potential.
That would be cool! Liked him a lot in MI:4. Excellent film, BTW.
and he’s the new guy in the Bourne reboot (I posted the trailer a few weeks ago)
Yup, the guy’s goin’ places! Maybe Cruise can retire in the next MI and let Renner take the lead. (I know, dreaming here.)
When did the Incredible Hulk become Henry Pym, aka, Giant-Man?
Bad perspective eh Daniel? Cap is too tall too.
How tall is Hulk supposed to be compared to the others in the books?
About 6′ 5″.
Worst case of photo-shopping since the last Avengers poster hit the interwebs.

I do think Capt. America looks a little silly at nearly 12 feet tall
I think he’s supposed to be standing on a pile of rubble.
Or a pile of his DVD/Blu-Ray covers.
Or the cash he made from them.

I thought Samuel L Jackson was Mr. Freezo
I thought he was Mr. Glass.
No, he’s Captain Obamavoter
Not to be confused with the Captain’s alter-ego, Super-Jackass.
No, he is just a racist ass hat.
I thought he was Bad Mother Fucker since it’s the written on his wallet.
I’m not sure how it couldn’t stink? Once Hollywood gets away from the single-hero motif, things typically go wrong. Still, it will make a fortune.
Robert Downey,Jr. and Mark Ruffalo…Zodiac!
Just one question:
What happens to the movies when they run out of comic books?
Never gonna happen, Stosh. There’s dozens of great comic book series that Hollywood hasn’t touched yet- enough material for decades of good movies, if it’s done right.
Since they botched the Dark Phoenix storyline with the first X-trilogy, suppose I shouldn’t get my hopes up for anything related to the Brood saga.
If only Bryan Singer hadn’t walked away from the X-Men movies to make that crappy Superman reboot. Oh, what could have been…
Next movie to be made from comics will be the new improved gay Archie Comics characters!

*Eye-roll*
Tell me!
Kazaam.
Then we go old school and start milking Archie, Little Lulu, Nancy and Sluggo, etc., for movie material.
Archie’s getting milked…check my link above.
Jug+Head may take on a whole new meaning it that one.
What,no Koran Comics?
They have no sense of humor! Besides that, how can you make a 90 minute movie about a bunch of guys doing unspeakable things to camels?
I’m sure the Japanese have those somewhere.
