[QUOTE="Lord Mhoram, post: 5909266, member: 4789"] Finally dropped into this thread - big comic book fan and superhero movie fan (my avatar being my longest played Champions character - going on 25 years or so). Before the Avengers my favorite superhero movie was the Chris Reeve Superman. I didn't feel there was a single false note in Avengers - the characters were all in character, the story worked; even if a bit thin. As for Loki being a bit out of character, I'm thinking the Chitari had something over him - maybe they saved him at the end of Thor, and had some control there - using him for their plan - and he went along with it, to try and conquer Earth, but not really expecting it to work. He did say something to that effect in there. I have never liked the Hulk - brainless monsters don't appeal to me as a protagonist. The Ang Lee was a waste of film, the one after was pretty fun, and the performance of Ruffalo in Avengers was fantastic - I want to see a Hulk movie with him in it. Every hero got a "crowning moment of awesome" and the dialog, pace and action was there. As for possible new Avengers - personally I've always disliked Pym and Janet, so if they never show up I don't mind. Stark could built Ultron. And for Vision-- he is someone with memories of someone else - that could be how Coulson comes back. The humor was perfect. Too often Superhero movies forget that Superheroes are also supposed to be fun. I was completely surprised. Whedon is someone who's work I am usually at best neutral towards, and often disliked (I could never get into Buffy or Angel, and I think Firefly was canceled before he could screw it up in second season - part of the reason I think it is so well regarded). So Whedon doing so well really surprised me. I plan on seeing it at least twice more in the theaters. [/QUOTE]
