First off I'm from Australia... just saw it. absolutely epic... and as per usual with marvel... stay till the end of creditz! and OT of film continuity. the continuity concept in movies will be a hell lot harder to maintain from ageing actors and what not. just because Thor won't suffer from ageing doesn't mean Chris Hemsworth won't. Just to say best continuity concept for a single character in a filmed production... let's say it contains "Regeneration".
Perhaps I should leave it lie, but I have to say the phraseology of your posts in this thread seem excessively venomous and would be difficult for me to pass by regardless of who it was directed at.SpiderJerusalem said:
The Justin Bieber analogy does not seem to apply to this case, as your original claim was that Bob is not a critic (even if you stated it in a rather... unnecessary, spiteful manner that suggests certain emotions on the topic of Bob that I am as yet not privy to) and that Justin Bieber is not a musician because he isn't skilled at music and that is a part of the definition.
The definition of a critic, on the other hand, is different from that of a musician. In short, from dictionary.com it is "a person who judges, evaluates, or criticizes". You could claim he isn't a GOOD critic, but it's hard to make the case that he ISN'T one. Then we get into what makes a good critic versus a bad one, but that's a different subject.
Venom and spite aren't needed to get your point across. It's entirely possible to say "I don't think Bob's a good critic and here's why I don't agree with him this time:" instead of using sarcasm and veiled insults. In fact, as soon as I see someone use insult-tactics I don't WANT to believe them. I don't WANT to side with them no matter how good their points are. I have to fight just to remember that despite the venom and destructive criticism they might have a good argument.
Anyway, I know that saying all this may not accomplish anything, but I wanted to put it out there.
Same here, taking the missus who has only seen Captain America (but enjoyed it) so am going to be explaining everything to her on the way to the cinema. There's also gonna be a new Dark Knight Rises trailer before The Avengers, so I may just nerd all over the floor.zombie711 said:
Not sure if like...<.<
I mean the prospect of cross overs and such is enticing... but I'm afraid it may bring up the same problems present in comics... you know that the continuity will become as twisted and impenetrable as a granite octopus... as well as destroy the idea of new IP's in movies... like you said why just make another ten commandments movie when you can stick it on the end of Indiana Jones? I mean there's already a problem with that already... and chances are it'll be used less as light fan service and more to boost the profit of other movies in a series...<.<

ha, joke's on you Bob, I get to see it in a couple of days as well! Not due to advance screenings, but because it comes out earlier here in the UK! Hahahahaha!
Jocks no. A crap movie? Yes.Soviet Heavy said:
I thought they were going to do that starting with Green Lantern. They had the DC version of Nick Fury (can't remember her name) but GL was garbage so I don't know.
Man, a Justice League movie would be...Orgasmic, and if you wanted to make it dark, go with the blackest night story arc
Although, on that same subject, the fundie christians would FLIP. And it would be hilarious, trolling on a massive scale.DVS BSTrD said:
I just thought troll hunter. I don't know how, and I don't know which movie, but hans would have to re-appear at some point. Maybe he gets to spain, only to find out about a quarantined block of apartments, a la rec? Maybe he could turn up in a "night watch" film? Hell, him popping up in doctor who would be silly, but also kinda awesome.
Can't wait to see how many videos he makes nitpicking and bitching that the Avengers didn't flawlessly follow pre-existing comic cannon.
I also like the always present hypocrisy that having crossover continuity for comic book movies is fine, but having crossover continuity for any other kind of action movie is not. Though, I'm sure if The Expendables 2 was about "real" military people instead of mercenaries, he'd be drooling all over it.

Hey Bob, guess what!
I saw The Avengers today (because it was released today in Australia). I don't think you need me to tell you that it's fucking awesome but I am going to say it anyway.
The Avengers is FUCKING AWESOME!
Easily THE best Marvel superhero movie I have seen. I also thought you over-hyped the hell out of Captain America but I don't think it would be possible to over-hype this movie. Can't wait to see you try though
Joss Whedon needs to make more movies...the comedy scenes in this movie are icing to the cake made of pure awesome (and are completely Whedon-like if you have seen anything else he has done *cough* Firefly *cough*)

I just came back from the move theatre. Ha haa! It's good to be a Kiwi. Not to mention not having to wait months after release for a US film to come out here, like it used to be. Avengers was awesome! It's definitely has the Joss Whedon vibe. I'll leave it at that.
I hate the idea of this kind of continuity. Not really interested in seeing different movies blending together, suddenly you have to watch all kinds of different things just to enjoy the movie you really wanted to see. I would also argue that the whole avengers setup was the main reason Iron Man 2 ended as a bit of a drawn out mess.
Guess you have to appreaciate superhero comics to appreciate this sort of thing. But then again, continuity is one of the main reasons i don´t really read SuperHero comics. Prefer spending my time reading graphic novels.

I think continuity is awesome. I enjoy series in general, and I absolutely loved watching all the Marvel movies, picking out characters and things from the other movies. I find it a lot of fun, and the Avengers is probably the moving I am anticipating the most. Still have to wait another week and a half to see it though, boo.
