Avengers Assemble!!!
bminor:
Concerning the Avengers movie.
Look at the trailer, at 1:30 Loki grabs Tony Stark throws him out of the window, but it is Steve Rogers that lands in the street on top of the car!?
I am a uber geek for noticing this? Is this a case of a trailer cutting a bunch of different scenes together?
Is is a skrull?
You know I am not talking about this with my wife, she thinks that I am weird enough already, down in my man cave, amongst my old comics and movies....
Maybe I just need to get a life!!!

"How's that for an obscure group?" Yoc
Oh yes, I do like obscure. How about The Defenders around the time of, "Too Many Heroes"? Or is that just silly?

Now that is also an interesting topic - the attitude/reaction of significant others, friends and folk who stumble into our world.
My wife, while being very understanding and tolerant of my comics hobby, is still somewhat bemused by it and has a complete lack of understanding of the attraction for me. That is, apart from the regular admonitions to, "tidy this room up, you're running out of space". I did try explaining Cap's origin when we saw the trailer and the blank look followed by a yawn told me all I needed to know, so I haven't broached the subject again. Friends still look at me as if I was daft but others who are also comic fans look in turn at them with pity. I attend French and Italian classes and both teachers are native speakers. Both ladies read and are aware of the great comics histories of their respective countries. Wish it was the same with the ordinary Scot in the street.
Back on topic, if there is a serious continuity glitch, that will spoil the film for many fans but it will be a while before I see it. And I still like the idea of The Swordsman.

If it were only possible a mega cross-over of X-men/Avengers in a movie would make them all a ton of cash. You'd need a trilogy to get all the actors screen time and of course you'd need Magneto and say Red Skull or Dr Doom and the Skrulls to keep them all busy!
Yoc:
Hmm, this got me thinking.
You do an X-Men movie with a villain/villains and CONTINUE the plot in an Avengers movie (with cameos) just like they do all the time in comics.
Sounds like a good plan to me.
watson387:
I understand that they wanted to put a woman in the team for the movie, but why the Black Widow? There are plenty of better women characters they could have used. The Black Widow has nothing compared to the rest of the team. It should have been The Wasp IMO, although I don't know if the storyline is based on comic events that involved the BW or if it is an original screenplay.
