Thanos is a great character -I loved him in the Silver Surfer toon!
Yes, as stated Red Skull WILL pop up again -either in a Cap or Avengers sequel -assuming Hugo doesn't have a conflict.
I thought Loki would be the Villain in this from the time they announced the Thor movie. I figured that Ultron or Kang would be next. Maybe the introduce Pym in 2 and gives us Ultron in 3.

This is one of the best comic based movies I've seen. It may be the best movie I've seen in years actually. My only small gripe is this. Why was a earth nuke powerful enough to take out a space craft. It can withstand the rigours of space travel but not one nuke? Then again may it was not a regular nuke. With that small gripe out of the way I loved how the characters were handled especially Thor and the Hulk.Leave a comment:

"Humans are unruly and therefore cannot be ruled. To fight them would court death."
Thanos turns and grins.
Just got back from my second viewing. I saw/heard stuff I didn't the first time because of people reacting to the action. The audience was having a ball. I'm already looking forward to the DVD so I can catch all the details.
The council Fury talks to is listed as the UN? security council in the credits. Powers Booth and Jenny Agutter are listed as members.
As for the JLA there is no way for DC to catch up (Marvel has been putting out super hero movies for over a decade) but they can go their own way.
If you look at the Pixar and other animated movies, a lot of their scenery and backgrounds and even some people are photo realistic. I think a photo realistic animated JLA movie would be the way to go. Get big name talented actors who may or may not look the part and build the characters around the actors and go to town. We all know some costumes don't transfer to live action and need to be changed to avoid looking silly.
As great as the Avengers is, and it is, something is lost bringing them to live action. The fantasy element, artistic license, what ever you want to call it. The Incredibles is a great superhero film. Somewhere between that and live action could be a super JLA movie.Leave a comment:

Hey for all those who didn't get to see the last end credit. Quite a few fans have posted the Shwarma scene on youtube, check it out before it gets taken down.Leave a comment:

I think they should just do it. For all the characters currently not in movies, just include them anyway. People that aren't geeks will figure out soon enough the guy in red with lightning bolts on his costume is fast, the guy with fins and scales on his costume can swim well, etc...just use the JLA as a springboard for individual franchises, rather than having to go through the obligatory origin movies first.Leave a comment:

I hear you Anthony. I'm kind of at the point where I'm not sure if I really want to see a JLA movie. If it can be done as well as the Avengers, what's the point. I don't think Warners would trust anyone enough to do with it what Whedon did with the Avengers.
If I was Warners I'd try to steal Whedon away and see if he could duplicate the formula with the JLA. If it works, it'd be more than worth it. If it doesn't, they would at least be betting on known quantity.
At least under Timm's direction we get some decent cartoon movies with DC characters.Leave a comment:

Haven't seen the movie yet but as a traditionally DC fan I already feel sad...Leave a comment:

Man, Marvel does movies better than comics now a days. Avengers was really fun. Real tip of the hat to Whedon for getting that monster to work.
As impressive as the action was, the little character pieces really made the film work. Whedon did a great job of letting the interactions between the characters better define the individuals. It really meant something for Cap and IronMan to go at each other, point out each other's weaknesses and then redeem themselves in the other's eyes. To me that kind of stuff has always been the best part of team comics and Whedon captured it about as well as it could be done.
The three-way fight between Cap, IM and Thor was really cool, and Hulk really stole the show in a couple of scenes. To me, Hulk is generally at his best in the comics as sort of an unwilling teammate or an adversary of a more standard hero. Whedon got that. Sure hope he's involved some way in the next Hulk movie.Leave a comment:

You're not referring to that cheap pirate DVD theater hack that I heard cuts off before the end credits? I can't believe that's already being passed around, if not, I apologize. I can't believe they already have pirates of that movie. Where and how do people get in theaters to do that?
I understand some countries that don't have movie theaters and have to resort to piracy. For gosh sakes somebody send movie theaters to Austria!!! LOL
I'd rather see the movie in the theaters first. I'm going today. Excited after reading all this stuff. I have not seen it.Last edited by Cosmicman; May 5, '12, 10:39 AM.Leave a comment:

I wish Hulk would have just punched people all through the movie: When he and Thor are done fighting back guys, and he just casually punched Thor sideways...great fun...
I thought the movie had a lot of humor, without making it silly.
My only disappointments are Loki's troopers, which were kind of bland CG, and Hawkeye's lame costume.
And Hulk-again-showed us that instead of talking to a villain, you just need to grab him the first chance you get and smash him to bits...Last edited by Gorn Captain; May 5, '12, 9:54 AM.Leave a comment:

I definitely would NOT be surprised at all to see THANOS pop up (in same way, shape or form) in IM3, THOR 2 and CA2, even if it's in post-credit sequences just to up his recognition factor. MARVEL and Disney, I think, took a HUGE leap forward in the grand scheme of the Marvel Universe by introducing the Mad Titan in THE AVENGERS and I hope it really pays off....Leave a comment:

In the scheme of things Thanos is obscure to the general public. His greatest nemesis is Marvel's Captain Marvel, who doesn't even have a high profile as far as the masses are concerned.Leave a comment:
