Bull. Iron Man and Thor were almost B level characters to non-comic fans before their movies released. Me personally, I never 'got' Thor but I liked his movie. Even Captain America was kind of second tier. It was always Spidah-man and the X-men with marvel for the longest time.hermes200 said:Because Superman and Batman are the only characters regular people (not comic book fans) seems to care.For.I.Am.Mad said:I bet DC and WB are face palming right now.

Green Lantern was bad, but its not like Superman and Batman didn't had their share of terrible movies. Yet those were, at least, commercially successful.
Of course they are. Every character in Marvel that isn't Spiderman and Wolverine (not even the X-Men) are quite unknown to non-comic fans. That doesn't mean they didn't try it (when even Electra gets a chance at the box office, you know they have scrapped the bottom of the barrel) and there wouldn't be an Avenger movie if some of the movies were not extremely successful (as in beyond-our-wildest-expectations successful).For.I.Am.Mad said:Bull.

People didn't see Green Lantern because it was a bad movie not because of the character.
I thought it was already confirmed to be..WolfThomas said:I love all the speculation about the invaders I've heard the usual Skrulls/Chitauri and Kree suggested, but also stuff like the Shi'ar, Badoon and Break-worlders. The last one isn't too crazy as Joss Whedon created them in his comics.Nerdstar said:i'm banking money that the scrulls are involved somehow! the ships lend credence to the theory plus in the ultimates they were the first threat for the avengers, and the movie draws at least some inspiration form the ultimate universe. alothe your idea for jourgumound is an intriguing and equally valid theory as well. and keep in mind that bit in Thor were they made a comment on how the asgardian magic may just be super advanced tech(Clark's third law and all that) so the serpent hypothesis is perhaps more valid then you think
Honestly I'm hoping it's Fin Fang Foom. Giant Space Dragon (who's now a robot?Hero in a half shell said:Anyone else got thoughts on this?
I've heard it can't be Skrulls cause they are tied up with the FF rights that Fox owns. Though Marvel has mentioned they are interested in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, so they definitely want to bring Cosmic Marvel into this.WolfThomas said:I love all the speculation about the invaders I've heard the usual Skrulls/Chitauri and Kree suggested, but also stuff like the Shi'ar, Badoon and Break-worlders.

Marvel has said they are not going to make Black Widow anyone's love interest. They don't want to tell a love story, they want a super-hero movie.SecretNegative said:there's a girl and possibly lovestory in it
Loki didn't die at the end of Thor. He was sucked with the Bifrost into magic-space.and Loki has apperently become alive again somehow.
Opinions may vary on this subject. But I think a trailer shouldn't spoil too much. Instead they should leave the trailer intentionally vague, but still interesting. I have seen a lot of trailers practically explaining the whole story. That is even worse.The_Waspman said:Actually, I thought the first trailer was much better. At least the first trailer made me interested in seeing the movie. Sort of. This one though... meh, its about on par with most trailers today, too much time shown on money shots (including, probably, the end), no incling of the sotry (like thats going to important in the film anyway)
Hey! He has only directed one movie before (Serenity) and it was awesome.The_Waspman said:...and some below par dialogue (which is expected, since this is Whedon we're talking about).
A lot of trailer music is made by the same studios. One of the more famous one is: Two Steps From Hell [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Steps_From_Hell].The_Waspman said:And why is it that almost every major trailer nowadays has to have some kind of riff on the Batman/Inception music? Yeesh.
