Avengers Assemble!

[Martin]

Just to clarify, I'm not trying to sound stand-offish or anything regarding my opinions on the film versus Bobberino's, I just don't see them as truly fundamental problems in the movie (save for the lack of a tie-in to the porn parody), especially knowing full well what type of movie it is (FLUFF, delicious fluff), and what its purpose ultimately is (sell the populace on the characters as a united brand, get them to spend money on the new merch and to keep them hooked for the NEXT BIG THING FROM THE STUDIO THAT BROUGHT YOU THE AVENGERS to come down the pike).

That's pretty much my stance. Bobby's way fine to don't be liking The Avengers, really, but I just don't get his reasons why!

[B_Metal]

Yeah, hate to be the echo chamber but Bobby you're welcome to your feelings on the flick even if they sound like gibberish to me and Spongebob.

[Martin]

WE SHALL ECHO CHAMBER YOUR HEAD BOBBY UNTIL YOU SEE THE TRUTH.

I see it as a willing suspension of disbelief UNLESS authorial intent is to weave said subject into the fabric of the story. Moore is fantastic at it and I wish other writers would approach cape comics in a similar fashion.

When was the last time Superman got blamed for a Jonestown incident because he was who he was?

Yeah, it's been too long.

If things ever got bad enough at DC, where I got to write Superman...that is where I would start.

Seriously, I've got a treatment for it anything. Superman's too powerful? You scare him out of being the Big Blue Boy Scout. Make him too afraid to exist, thus negating him. The Cult of El would be a start.

[Captain Russ]

I'd like to see that storyline be developed.

[B_Metal]

Yeah that would be a cool angle.

What I want to know is if this leaked deleted scene had been included would it have effected anyone's opinion on the finished flick?

  Spoiler: CLICK ONLY IF YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE; POSSIBLE SPURLUR 

[Timothy225]

Rep B. Rep him NOW.

[B_Metal]

I'm just the messenger Tim, a messenger of hope and peace.

[Abraham Smashington]

So this thing is printing money. Here's hoping to a fucking ridiculously bigger sequel.

[B_Metal]

1 Billion worldwide in 19 days.

[Timothy225]

That should ease the pain from the $200 mil they lost on John Carter quite nicely. How much was The Avengers' budget again, all said and done?

220 after ads.

Disney should be kissing Marvel's ass from now until forever.

It also became the fastest movie to reach 350 mil ever over the weekend and it's going to hit 400 mil by Wed/Thurs.

[Timothy225]

$780 mil on a $220 mil investment, with no sign of stopping? Disney's got its lips firmly on Marvel's pooper right now, and will likely do it all over again when the DVD/Blu streets.
