Yes, because DC heroes all have the silly weaknesses like a magic rock, the color yellow, or hands behind their back. Marvel's heroes on the other hand, all have personality flaws. Bruce - short temper. Thor - young and cocky. Cap - too trusting. Stark - cocky, drinking womanizer, fratboy. That's what makes marvel films more engaging. They don't depend solely on FX shots. | |
Dangit, where's the upvote button on this forum? ... And I can't downvote the forum for not having one either! I've been spoiled by reddit. | |
I love you, Bob; but you sound like those same nerd purists who got mad over the Dragon Age trailer. Hard Rock is not the devil and as I have been hearing the same fucking string compositions and arrangements for epic movies for as long as I have been alive. I really wish that it would die or at least evolve. I think that things are moving in the right direction when composers start using more electronic sounds in movies. Even heavy acoustic rock is better than an orchestral score, to me. I have nothing against the symphony, I play a Viola from time to time, I just think that you are falling into the same love of cliches that you fault others for from time to time. | |
"Also: Whoever's been cutting these at Disney/Marvel? Look, I like Tool and Nine Inch Nails as much as anybody; but it's time to cool it with the 90s Metal motif for all these trailers. This is the first continuity-driven superhero-epic, guys... let's get something orchestral going on with the proper amount of portent and gravitas already." My thoughts exactly Bob. I was hoping for more from the first trailer, something more epic. Not to say that I'm not happy with what I've been given! Of course not! I'm just sayin', I'd like something a bit more epic for the next trailer that rolls around. | |
It's funny that you said "Iron Man 3: Guest Starring The Avengers", because throughout the trailer, he completely steals the show with his snarky lines. Robert Downey Jr. is just so charismatic and funny that it's hard to take my attention away from him... | |
i think the lyrical content of the song had a lot to do with the choice. | |
Heh heh, in some ways I wish Whedon had had a chance to write some Deadpool into that series, I think he would have written a mighty fine dynamic between Logan and Wade. | |
"00:44 - 00:45 Captain America meets his new 21st Century uniform. I'm really curious as to the context of this scene - the outfit is preserved like a museum piece, as in "this is Captain America's gear;" but it's NOT his actual gear (it can't be, he was wearing said gear when he was frozen) and in fact looks like a modernized version of the "costume" he wore at USO appearances. I'd really like it if there was a "bit" about that in there, re: Cap's legend having gotten exaggerated/embellished in the 70 years he's been "away."" I wonder if it's a reference to the imposter Captain America that was active during the Cold War whilst Steve Rogers was still frozen? Perhaps the "new" Cap updated the uniform and this is one of those iterations. It's a bit of a stretch but who knows, it could happen. | |
BOB! you missed something crucial the iron man suit pilot is dizzy / confused when he / she switches from vertical to horizontal flight does someone steal the iron man suit? there's a foreshadowing hint at this when mr america taunts him about it too. | |
It's because DC suck at getting their movies off the ground in this way. There hasn't been a very decent Superman film in a while, and certainly none that really captured the essence of the Big Guy in a context that would work with other heroes. | |
In 3D ! What seems strange to me, BLack widow looks like she is in custody too at 0:48. | |
This was on the Thor Blu-Ray: OT: I'm so excited for this film. I agree that the trailer is very Iron Man heavy. I want to see Iron Man taking the piss out of everyone though. That will be some of the best bits of the film. | |
You know what sold me on this movie? Captain America: "Big man in a suit. Take that away and what are you?" | |
Why did I had the souvenir of Fury talking to Ross, while it was Stark? Well, it doesn't matter! This is perfect and pretty much the answer I was looking for. So thanks a bunch. I'm not that much into Super Heroes movies. They all are the same... Origin + Villain introduction. But, I finnd the over-arching story line more interesting that the movies themselves. I mean... IT IS EPIC! I just hope that the main villain in the Avenger will be just as epic. | |
I think you'll find the most well known team is the X-Men. The rest is leagues behind them to the point where trying to figure out who is no 2 is rather much a moot point. The general public really doesn't know. Especially outside the US. | |
"Um... incidentally, why has nobody said "Avengers Assemble!" yet?" Because you'll only get one shot at delivering that line. One. The movie could be a two hour long nerdgasm, but if you mess up that line, it will all be tainted. It will be in the movie, without a doubt, because if they do get it right....Oh Sweet Jesus. A lot of fans will gladly sign their souls over to Marvel. | |
I think the Fantastic Four is a close second, some years ago they'd likely be in front, but given that the recent fantastic four movies were pretty bad and the X-men ones on average decent, they've likely been overtaken. Also I think the Justice League is more the sum of it's parts popularity, than the actual team itself.
One of the key things I liked about Thor was that it wasn't your classical origin movie, where a good person becomes powerful, he starts the film with all of his might and abilities, it was more about his shift in behaviour to become a better person. | |
Okay i'll agree the Xmen are the top, but the justice league is second by a long way, IMO. They've been around on TV for our parents, us and depending on your age our kids. The JL is well ingrained into the public conscious. | |
The only thing that annoyed me was when Hawkeye unfolded his bow they used a shotgun pumping sfx. A part of me cringed pretty badly at that. | |
Yes, this is awesome. I like the comeback that Tony says to the Captain. Truly great. | |
I am kinda looking forward to seeing how Robert Downey Jr. is fit into the film since he seems to be an automatic scene-stealer. I hope they work it into the plot, say Iron Man doing his own thing that blows up in his (or more likely Capt. America's) face. | |
The Justice League is the best known superhero team by far; it's just that the NAME they're "best known" by isn't The Justice League - it's The Superfriends :) | |
Further, there isn't enough information to assume that Loki has been 'arrested' at all. He gives Scarlett a creepy stalker look, so he might just be throwing illusions into the HQ to have some fun with them. He's Loki, and all, that's the kind of thing Loki would do. That's something we saw him do a lot of in Thor, now that I think about it. | |
Well I think it's safe to say the vastly better version of this trailer is below /shamless plug | |
Oh yeah, the Superfriends I vaguely remember that one from way back. Maybe it's my local situation. The JLA cartoon never aired in The Netherlands (so they aren't on tv for anyone slightly younger than me and beyond), I had to download that thing (Superfriends did though, see above). But I really think the difference between the US and Europe is massive when it comes to these things. You people mostly don't know who Asterix is (as evidenced by Stuttering Craig in a short on an Asterix game in a horrible way at one point), whereas everybody does over here and I do mean everybody. Even among my rather geeky friends the name Wonder Woman makes most go "who was that again?" Most have trouble keeping the DC and Marvel characters apart. Every random passer-by on the street has some vague notion of what the X-Men are though. But apart from my local situation I must really stress that Superhero comics are a uniquely American invention, a point which Bob missed completely back in that episode where he defended Superman walking around in the US flag by posing that every country probably has a character like that. They don't. They really don't. Unless you count Asterix, Bryant the Brigand (horribly translated name) and a couple more like those. The cultural difference in outlook on comics is extremely big. Holland's most persisting comic series is Jan, Jans en de Kinderen, we're talking about a family comic that rose to prominence from the back page of a women's lifestyle magazine. Can you imagine that in the US? And as an aside: | |
*double-post, move down....* | |
Yeah, but the problem with that is Chris Nolan, believe it or not. As long as Nolan is running his Dark Knight trilogy and insisting that Batman stay as realistic and believable as possible, we're very unlikely to see the current movie incarnation of the Dark Knight meet up with Superman from the upcoming filmThe Man of Steel[1] at the end of The Dark Knight Rises to arrange the formation of a team. Reinforcing this is Bale's similarly lunkheaded commitment to a realistic portrayal, extending to his threat that he would leave even if Robin was introduced to the current film series. On top of this is the fact that the Nolanverse is now thoroughly ingrained in the public and critical conciousness, thanks to the great first film and the phenominally popular and well-recieved second film. So, to put it bluntly, a JL film is probably only going to happen without Nolan and/or Christian Bale on board, and switching out a now-popular and well-loved version of the character for, at the very least, the same one with a different actor just wouldn't go over that well with the general public. The only way we'll see a JL film is if they start again a few years down the line, although with the aforementioned upcoming Superman title and the fact that we'd all love to see a reboot of Green Lantern since the original was shit, that doesn't seem too far-fetched. It's just, that Batman problem again. He's going to be the main draw of anything like this, and switching out Nolan's version for a new one just wouldnt work too well unless the planets were perfectly aligned. I'd love to see another take on the big bad bat, but it probably won't work out if it goes ahead. So yeah, at this rate the only way we'll see a good JL film is if Nolan and Bale (and anyone else with similar obsessions with "realism") drop the pretentious attitude and give it a fair old whack, an unfortunately unlikely scenario. Oh, and like I said, they'd have to reboot Green Lantern like they're doing with Superman just now.
Maybe they get Ross to use his resources to find and capture Hulk. y'know, kind of a "if you do the capturing for us, we'll take care of The Hulk and ensure that you guys don't have to mobilise just to stop him accidentally killing innocent people" deal. That'd make sense. [1] Yup, I'm aware he's producing this film, but I'm not sure if that makes it more or less likely to see a JL film | |
Darn - with all the action I was really hoping this thing would be produced and directed by Michael Bay! ;) | |
hell yeah! I remember seeing it in the Iron Man 2 game (which was...surprisingly entertaining) and was like "man this is so cool"
LOL hilarious. as are many other points here. still, I gotta say that the teaser did its job. the music fit to give it a fast paced edge and all, but I do agree on something more suitably grand and epic for the full trailer? I dunno, this IS the ultimate assembly that Marvel and fans have been dreaming of :D | |
I'm glad I'm not the only person who was irritated by the music. It seemed incredibly out of place, and wrong for a reason that i can't quite put my finger on. | |
I really hope we don't just get another 'evil Loki'. He's my favourite god, dammit! It's him and Hades against the world, just because the shiny gods like Thor don't appreciate them... | |

My theory is that the justice league's villains would have to be covered in kryptonite, which would be rather expensive for the prop department, rendering the movie financially nonviable. That will continue to be my theory forever, no matter how many intelligent people tell me it's a stupid theory.
