Avengers Line-Up Revealed

[Synch]

Hulk does not suck, hulk smash! I rather enjoyed the last hulk movie my self I thought it was quite good!

I can see it now, Loki plays with Hulk's mind making the Hulk a puppet. That brings Thor into the fray because Loki is involved. Iron Man is involved because he's the one that tussles with the Hulk in the beginning of the movie and wants to get to the bottom of it. Nick Fury is Cap's babysitter helping Cap adjust to the ways of the modern world. And then everybody gets involved to deal with an out of control Hulk. Once they bring the Hulk crisis down, Thor figures out it was Loki responsible and everybody (including Hulk who wants payback) goes after Loki. Well, that's how I see it. No matter what direction the Avengers goes in, I'm looking forward to this movie either way.

I'll rephrase.

Hulk in any movie = Fail.

Hey, Hulk 2003 was pretty cool.
And Lou Feringgngnnggno.

Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Blade, X-Men, X-Men 2, Iron Man.

That's a decent track record.

Three out of five's not bad
But... Yeah.


I guess this has potential to be better than we would've expected a year or two ago. Zak Penn isn't really known for being a very good writer but it should be cheap entertainment.

It would've been cool to see Ant Man, Wasp, Hawkeye et al in there too seeing as they're the original members of The Ultimates, though.

You didn't like The Incredible Hulk? Didn't think anyone would dislike the movie

Same here. Especially when compared to Ang Lee's snoozefest, the new one felt exactly like how a Hulk movie should be. The little references to other aspects of the Marvel universe were also pretty amusing.

I'm shocked. With your love of the big beefcake, I'm surprised Hulk isn't one of your favorites. Any reason?

Also, on Ant-Man: Hank Pym is bar-none one of the most horribly utilized characters in the Marvel universe. The height of his character was wife-beating, and he only hit her once in a panel back in the day. Past that, his defining trait is the fact that he's an utter failure. No one has ever made him truly click (except marginally in his asshole Yellowjacket persona) and as such, he's bounced around from characterization to characterization.

So while I'm sad to miss out on what a fresh pair of eye could do on the character, I can't say I'm sad to see him go.

You've never read Steve Englehart's West Coast Avengers, have you? One major subplot was about Hank getting past the wife-beating incident and reinventing himself in a way that actually works, as Dr. Pym, Scientific Adventurer. I always thought that was his best identity, and Englehart actually knew how to utilize his character. Unfortunately, no writer since has bothered to write him well.

Edit: As for the movie itself, I'll say that while the Big Three are definitely the most important and iconic Avengers, doing a movie with just the Big Three is like doing an X-Men movie with just Scott, Jean, and Logan. It doesn't make sense.

It's a movie about the formation of the Avengers. What's so wrong about leaving out the auxillary characters? If they're comfortable with 4 main characters and SHIELD, i'm down with it. I'm more concerned about a tightly written story than making sure the kitchen sink gets thrown in.

Man I miss Englehart. Too bad all he does now is bitch on the internet.

"The Ultron Initiative" was the last Avengers story that was worth a **** , AND it repaired Hank and Janet's relationship to boot. Honest sincerity and maturity in THIS title is a thing of the past.

For once I agree with KingRanger. Cap Thor and Iron Man are considered the big three founding members of the Avengers, everyone else are just revolving door members IMO. Plus this isn't the comic book, so its even possible that SHIELD will found the Avengers this time around, similar to the Ultimates.

When your talking about Avengers founders you cant forget Hulk in the mix. But he might be the villain of the movie, which wouldnt be that bad since he was already established in the Marvel Movie world.

**** HULK.

The Incredible Hulk = :castlerock:
