Hmmm, Cap is wearing an older version of his costume when Thor is attacking him. Maybe it is a Skrull thing going on :D

I'm also still weirded out that Hawkeye is in it, when he hasn't had his own movie (or Black Widow for that matter). But they do have to round the Avenger's out I suppose. And what about the other members down the road, are they going to be added in sequels naturally or will it be forced (ugh) such as Ant-Man and/or Wasp etc?

Well, Black Widow and Hawkeye were both featured in Iron Man 2 and Thor (Respectively). So, they're not coming out of the blue. Not that I don't think they would be able to introduce someone new in this movie. There's really no difference in introducing them here or in one of the other movies...

It will be interesting to see though. It looks like it's going to be a decent movie. At least I hope it is...

Easy. Just use any big names in the Avengers (say Stark). Then you will connect the universes together.

The problem is much bigger than that. Marvel Studios does not technically have the rights to Spider-Man movies, Sony does. They have since the very first movie.

really? you must be a dc fanboy because this trailer blows tdkr out of the water. i think this will be one of the best movies next year. ill also say the hulk looks great although i will miss ed norton.

Im not a dc fanboy, Im a good movie fanboy. If you really think that this movie has the level of refinement of anything made by Nolan or Snyder then be my guest... I guess.

First class and Thor were good.

Come on man, Thor was like a dream come true for fat metal-head teens. In my city just looking at the movie lines you could swear Harry Potter turned goth and made a new movie about it.

Okay it might not be as good as you think I think but still 7.25 out of 10 for me, it is.

It was good except for the romance part between Portman and Hemsworth

It's the suit you see hanging behind the glass plus the one you see him wearing without his mask on. It's noticeable due to the mask, the flap on his chest the metal parts on the suit. It might be a shot of when they're testing a possible new shield made by Tony Stark.

Black Widow and Hawkeye both had cameos in previous movies. Perhaps they wanted to create a "oh, that's the guy from Thor who wass hanging in the basket" kinda effect.

@sanctified: It's all a matter of opinion really. Sure it's not the same as Nolan's adaption of Batman. Though that depends on what source material they use. Had Nolan used a different, more light hearted type of Batman comic, then his trilogy wouldn't have been as dark, etc.

Also, have we really reached a point to where we now have to compare each comic book adaption to Nolan's Batman Trilogy?

I believe I might've taken things out of context with Nolan. You weren't talking about him specifically, but about the difference between Iron Man and the movies that followed that movie. It really depends on what the director is capable of doing, not about Marvel. It's true that Thor and Captain America weren't as good as Iron Man. They where enjoyable though. The romance in Thor was just too cliché. but I guess that's what you get when you're adapting a comic book that's pretty dated.

But I wouldn't judge this movie by only the trailer. It only showed flashes of the movie. Flashes that can't really be used to judge the movie if you ask me.

Thats what Thor was always supposed to be like anyway, old fashioned norse mythology gone mad. I personally enjoyed it and I respect your personal opinion on the film.

I'm looking forward to Avengers, but I'm trying to not get too worked up over it.

Oh and where was Black Widow in Iron Man 2? I don't remember seeing her, but I did watch it a long while ago. I might put it on tonight to watch again

I watched Thor last weekend and CA this weekend. Thor was cheesy but watchable in the same way that fast-food is edible.

Captain America was the worst movie I've seen in a long time. The plot was tedious, full of holes, unbelievable, etc. It also felt like they'd bitten off more than they could chew and tried to cram too much into the story. Steve Rogers was boring.

First Class, it was decent, true. Thor and Captain America? Felt like 90's all over again

+1

IMO, the only great Marvel films were the first two X-Men films. Everything else has been pretty ordinary.

Me too, Avengers could be a big hit and it may battle The Dark Knight Rises since both are gonna release within a period of one month.

Black Widow's character was rather briefly shown in Iron Man 2. She appeared mostly in the last half an hour or so.

I have a lot of faith in this movie simply because it's being directed by Joss Whedon. I loved Firefly and absolutely loved Serenity. And from what I've seen of The Avengers so far, it looks like it'll be amazing. I look forward to seeing Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Captain America, Hawkeye, and the Incredible Hulk all fighting together in one movie.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
