The Avengers

Does Nick Fury have a Batmobile?

[rmoxon]

Nick Fury is just a special agent guy, right? I mean he doesn't have powers or anything? I think that would be a bit of a deal-breaker in a series of superhero films.

You do realise that Hawkeye is in this and he has no super powers too right? And Black Window?

The Avengers don't all have Super Powers.

[Dogg Thang]

Yeah and they don't have their own movies either.

[rmoxon]

Yeah and they don't have their own movies either.

You mean they don't yet.

You mean they don't yet.

They had their own comics.

Even were in comics together actually outside of the avengers.

[Dogg Thang]

Yes and I think they'd have a harder time with those movies - that's why I was asking about Fury in answer to a post speculating that a Fury movie could be the first of the Marvel batch to fail. Hawkeye and Black Widow would be a tough sell. That's not to say they couldn't happen and couldn't be good. But I think they'd be much tougher.

Eventually there is going to be a law of diminishing returns kicking in here. They're not going to combat that by using smaller, more regular Joe heroes.

The last punisher movie was really good, he doesn't have any super powers.

Having said that I don't know wether it was classed as a success or not.

[Dogg Thang]

I haven't seen that one. There are plenty of great ass-kicking movies with normal people. It's really not that I don't think they could make a good movie out of any of these. It's just that these are all coming together as a series. Going from Iron Man to Thor to Captain America and then to... Hawkeye, dude with a blank stare and a bow well, it's going to harder to get people going about it. If anything, these Marvel movies could do with feeling bigger. By its very nature, Avengers will hopefully do that. But, again, to go from a film with all these people plus the Hulk to a film with just Scarlett Johansson doing her posing thing, it's just a tough sell that's all.

[rmoxon]

I don't know, I'm sure there are plenty of people who will pay to watch her pose in her cat suit for two hours to be honest..

I mean, the "hot woman in tight leather" factor is surely the only reason why the Underworld series is so popular after all, right?

[Dogg Thang]

True. Definitely a harder sell though for Nick Fury. I seriously don't want to look at Sam Jackson contorting in a cat suit. That's the kind of thing that cost the man his eye in the first place.

[teddymeow]

just Scarlett Johansson doing her posing thing.

I would totally pay for 2 hours of that!!!

Interesting to see that after all the chatter about Hulk and Marvels hiding of him for a long while it turns out he looks... well, pretty similar to the previous Hulk film.

Until I see proper insane levels of Hulk smashing and F'ing stuff up (for at least 10 mins!) Im still holding my reservations about this movie. And the trailer stinks of Ironman and the Avengers just like the Xmen trilogy ended up being Wolverine and the Xmen.
