Trailer for The Avengers - first "real" one

[kirke_novak]

We still don't know who the enemy is (my money on Skrulls), I don't believe it's Loki
I already ship Natasha/Loki
Steve has a gun, all is right with the world
Don't like how they just attached Hulk at the end - is he in the film for just 3 seconds?

[meowshi]

I'm pretty excited!!!

[mullon]

*Babble incoherently*

*Faint*

*Come to hours later*

*Wonder if the entire movie is just Tony Stark being an ass for two hours with 20 minutes of actual action*

[kirke_novak]

So you wonder if Avengers will be Iron Man 2?

ZIIIIIIIING!

[abriel]

Sorry, can't come up with a coherent response other than EEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[rdfox]

I really, really wish this had been them finally letting the REST of us see the one they released at D23, but it's still good. Somewhat similar structure--they only had Hulk at the very end there, too, presumably because very, very little of the footage of him is ready yet.

[tacitoz]

I really need to calm down about this because IT WILL COME OUT IN MAY HOLY SHIZZLES HOW WILL I HANDLE THIS but
just
Tony
Please be snarky like this forever <3 -insert incoherent ramblings and lots of flailing here-

[hiratsu]

:D I am so excited for this it's ridiculous. And I am so going to have this huge grin on my face for like, the rest of the day week.

[drmcninja]

We can be grin buddies! Because it's going to take battery acid to wipe it off my face!

[renie_sulaweyo]

I'm just happy I'm not the only one freaking out. So far, it looks good and I don't think Natasha and Clint will get too little focus. I agree that the lack of Hulk is probably from lack of rendering.
But none of that can compete with Nick Fury and his bazooka! /dies from heart attack

[crabby_lioness]

Steve Rogers and his machine gun can try.

[drexer]

*faints*

That is all really.

PS: I think the limited ammount of the Hulk must be due to the CGi still not being all set...

[filthysize]

Yep. The movie's still 7 months away. They've barely begun post-production.

"We still don't know who the enemy is (my money on Skrulls), I don't believe it's Loki"

[espanolbot]

Judging from the cancelled tie-in game, Loki is teaming up with Skrulls.

Though the game had Skulls with X-Men and Fantastic Four powers, when both groups don't exist in the Marvel Movieverse as far as I'm aware as they're owned by different film studios.

Re: "We still don't know who the enemy is (my money on Skrulls), I don't believe it's Loki"

[mrstatham]

Well, given they're a primarily FF associated thing, it's a surprise Marvel can use the Skrull at all. That said, they might have sold their rights to characters like the FF and X-Men, but there's no way that they could've sold the rights to the specific powers Skrull are known for having.

And X-Men/FF are both Fox owned movie properties, which is a damn, damn shame.

[ar_feiniel]

All I can say is that it better be good enough to warrant all the setups they've been doing in the other films.

[drmcninja]

Even if every other inevitable sequel and Marvel movie with these characters fails miserably, I think this will work out to be amazing. FIve years of teasers and planning, a weall picked and talented cast, and a director who is not only talented but can really get behind the source material.

After this, who knows. THis, will be good.

[schmevil]

TONYTONYTONY.

My day is immeasurably brighter. BRUCE. CLINT. EVERYBODY. EVEN COULSON, I SEE YOU THERE.

[moodring54]

There's so much to process from this, but my one domineering thought?



Thor's hair is AMAZING.

[dewinged]

It's very cool, but I find the lack of more female Avengers really annoying.

[baihu]

Well, only the Wasp was in the original line-up as a female, I guess it's unfortunately fairly accurate.

I seriously do NOT want the soap opera level drama mess of a team that is the West Coast Avengers anywhere near this movie. Scarlet Witch, Mockingbird, nonononononononononono...

Tigra would be cool though. And I expect Wasp would appear sooner or later in one of the movies.

[chocochuy]

Yes! Yes!! YES!!!!

This trailer made my day and I loved the interaction between Tony, Steve and Thor.

[mastiff]

I think Stark/Downey Jr. will be much more interesting in a group dynamic. Competition amongst proven equals makes for much better snark potential than Iron Man 2, where he had no equals, just underlings. He seemed bored in the last movie, though maybe I'm just projecting.

Oh, and squee!

[baihu]

I don't really like the sleeveless look for Thor's costume. Maybe it's because he hadn't bulked up enough, but it's making his top look oversized for him and making him look smaller relatively.

I'm so glad for more Loki <3

[sindra]

There will be banter.

Oh yes, there will be banter.

*squee!*

[thatnickguy]

HULK HATE BANTERRRRRR!

Wait, hang on...

[sinisterlink]

Oh look, Steve and Tony are already flirting. :p

I am excited for this. So excited. If this movie isn't good I will cry forever.

Lastly, Tom Hiddleston, I love you. Please marry me and let me have your babies forever.

Oh, and lastly lastly, did anyone else have a condom add they had to watch before the trailer started? Random.

[salinea]

well, that was underwhelming.

[lieut_kettch]

They could've thrown in Wasp for a little more diversity. Or included War Machine.

Thanks kirke_novak

[glprime]

I agree, despite all those explosions at the start (thought I'd been trolled and was watching a Transformers clip), a lot of the preview just didn't add up to anything for me. Re-watched one of the trailers for Watchmen the other day, and felt how supremely it made it seem to be about a group of masked adventurers, AND THAT STORY'S NOT EVEN ABOUT A TEAM! IT WAS A MARKETING TRICK!

One thing in particular I didn't see was ANY snapshot of Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill (she a one-off like Olivia Munn in Iron Man 2? We'll see). Remains to be seen how much of the actual Avengers team she'll be.

One possibility I wonder about (especially with Whedon at the helm) is a scene of Fury going over a database list of potential recruits, and that lists more female names.

All in all, beyond wondering what course the plot of the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes, I've not seen the "reason" I will love this movie.

And yet, I remain convinced the final product be more than the sum of its parts.

Re: Thanks kirke_novak

[drmcninja]

I'm going to be honest, I would love for Hill to not show up at all. I just hate her as a character.

[darkblade]

I love how they could make a trailer that full of shit blowing up without once showing us who is doing the blowing up of shit.

[sir_mikael]

My thoughts exactly.

[thatnickguy]

Anyone know Joss Whedon's address?

I should just mail him my wallet now.

[harpers_child]

with all the blowing up at the beginning i thought optimus prime would show up.

things that caught my attention but aren't full thoughts:
- steve's woobie face looking at his memorial case
- natasha is clearly out of bubblegum
- thor and tony can has bromance?

[khamelea]

So, given the choice between Wasp and Hawkeye, they pick Hawkeye?

FANTASTIC.

[mrstatham]

Hawkeye was already set up in Thor a little. And again, Wasp might be tied up in the stuff surrounding the Edgar Wright Antman movie that's still being produced.

I think she could be one of the trickier characters to do, anyway. Unless you go the Ultimate route and blandly make her a scientist, you have to explain what a non-genius socialite is doing with superpowers on a government payrolled superhero team.
