Again I was just reminiscing about one of my favorite comic book series which Thanos was the main catalyst. I did not mean to imply that the next avengers story with Thanos would be the Infinity Gauntlet story line.

The Cosmic Cube story line seems correct since that is why he first came to the Earth.

watching the Avengers movie reminded me of a Marvel team that Black Widow was part of in the mid 70's.
They were called "Champions'.
They consisted of Hercules, Iceman,Ghost Rider and Angel....I think DarkStar was part of it.
anyhow I have their 1st issue somewhere in a box buried.
They didn't last too long,like 15,16 issues.
I had the one issue where they fought Dr.Doom and Magneto.
I was always a Defenders fan more than Avengers.
Call me crazy I guess.

Josh Brolin does a pretty good Tommy Lee Jones.

I'm actually surprised that I never noticed how much they look alike when I watched No Country for Old Men.

I must say, I think I'm to the point where I will watch anything that Joss Whedon does, the guy is just hilarious.

I've seen exactly two movies in the theatre in the past year, all my other theatre-going is live. Those two are, The Cabin in the Woods, and The Avengers. And I've never laughed so hard in either. And I think he did it tastefully and respectfully in the Avengers so that it added to the movie and not detracted from it.

My first real exposure to Joss was during the writers strike when he just randomly created Dr. Horrible's Sing A-Long Blog. I didn't know who he was but that it was brilliant. Then I looked back and saw all of the goldmines that he was involved in: Toy Story, Buffy, Firefly, etc.

I'm in theatre and I can't stand Shakespeare, and my wife works at a large regional Shakespeare Festival. It's just not my cup of tea. But I'll tell you this, I can't wait to see his Much Ado About Nothing film this year.

He just makes me laugh and I've gotten to the point where I'll go see anything he does because I know it will be gold.

We figured it was only a matter of time before we got the official word, but this quickly?

Aw, yeah.

Disney's Bob Iger has answered every fanboy and fangirl's biggest wish, today confirming plans for an "Avengers" sequel.

And if that wasn't enough, the Disney CEO had even more exciting news. Here's what he had to say (during a conference call with analysts, mind you):
•"Marvel's The Avengers" shattered U.S. box office records with $207.1 million in its opening weekend.
•It has brought in more than $702 million globally to date.
•Some Disney theme parks are making room for "Avengers"-based attractions.

[Related: 'The Avengers' spoiler: Who was revealed in the final scene?]

Iger also repeated previous anouncemnts made by Marvel Studios:
•The third "Iron Man" is scheduled for 2013.
•"Thor" numero dos is also on the slate for 2013.
•A "Captain America" sequel should happen in 2014.

While we now know there is, in fact, an "Avengers" sequel in the works, Iger did not disclose a date for it. (Though Reelz.com has speculated it could very well be May 16, 2014, as the studio has already reserved that release date.)

Joss Whedon has yet to say whether he's writing and/or directing the next installment. But he has been quoted recently as saying, "You know what, I haven't really thought about it. It's time for me to rest, and then see if that's even feasible."

And no one has spoken yet on which actors are returning for the sequel.

For now, we'll have to savor the tease to part II that was revealed in the final scene: During mid-credits of "The Avengers," the franchise's next villain was revealed to be... [ SPOILER ALERT !!!







the death-worshiping Thanos -- a villian that first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1973.

alot of good stuff in that link, but there are some things that may be considered spoilers, so I'll just post the confirmed stuff here and leave it to you if you want to delve into the rest.

Quote:


The next three films confirmed on the schedule for Marvel Studios are Iron Man 3 and Thor 2 in 2013, then Captain America 2 in 2014. Marvel has also booked another film for 2014 that hasn’t been identified yet, though speculation points to another Hulk movie (based on the character’s popularity in The Avengers), a solo spinoff from one of the other Avengers characters (like Hawkeye, Black Widow, or Nick Fury), or a completely new character or team, such as Dr. Strange, The Inhumans, or The Guardians of the Galaxy (which have all been mentioned by Marvel execs recently). A sequel to The Avengers would then hit after that.

There’s also been enough talk of the long-gestating Ant-Man movie written by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, that we can probably expect to see that project in the next few years, too.

They need to bring on Black Panther.

And people make fun of Ant-Man, but I say get his solo movie going (Edgar Wright is awesome) and give him an Avengers supporting role, too.

Are you saying that Issac Asimov ripped off the Ultron concept back in 1950 when he first wrote the I,Robot short stories? (or is it the other way around)

Because Asimov's work would have pre-dated the creation of Ultron who first appeared, according to Wiki, in 1968.

And don't forget that I Am Legend was terrible. Smith did a good job, but I can't think of a movie w/ more unnecessary CGI. CGI lions and CGI deer.There was a scene where they used a CGI SUV. What the heck for????

I was just poking fun of myself for my I Am Legend tangent.

I was always more of a fan of Image and Valiant comics moreso than Marvel. Can't say why...I just liked them better....Then when I turned 15 I became more of a fan of girls than comic books so my days of reading comic books kind of drifted away....

I finally got to see The Avengers last night. Saw it in a Cinemark XD-3D theater, and holy cow, is that the BEST viewing experience I've ever had. Beats the snot out of the IMAX 3D screens.
The movie absolutely ROCKS! Totally worth every penny.



p.s. Skin-tight leather-clad Scarlett on a giant screen in 3-D.... umm, more please??!!!!??!!!

Is there such a thing as a "not nice" butt shot of Ms Johansson?
