I've said it once and I'll say it again. None of the Avengers are interesting superheroes. I'm constantly baffled that it has become such a media sensation. I saw Iron Man and it was meh. No reason to watch even more meh movies about even lamer superheroes.



I love the Hulk. I always loved iron man too. The iron man movies were well overhyped as is the whole marvel thing.

New Extended Trailer ... it starts out fun ... it's not a parody trailer (I wondered for a moment).

Pretty cool but I have to stop watching this stuff. The movie comes out in May,I don't need to see it in pieces until then. It seems like Marvels over-hyping is at an all-time high.


Thanks for posting!

I wish I still had my old comics collection. I had more Avengers comics than anything. It makes me ill when I see what some of those old '60's & '70's comics go for. I always liked the Vision.

Jimmy you can reread alll your old stuff directly from Marvel for $9.99 a month via your devices via Marvel Direct. It is worth it. For non Marvel I use comix on my fire. Yo get lots of stuff cheap.

This is about the time I stop watching the trailers. I feel like we've already seen too much.


That new one is awesome though...

Sounds like they cleaned up Spader's voice. Or recorded that v/o the other day.

Full disclosure. I'm a DC guy.

I get that Marvel is number one right now in a lot of people's eyes, but let's pump the brakes just a bit. No one cares anymore? Gotta disagree. There will always be an audience for Batman and Superman. Always. So why wouldn't you take them, along with Wonder Woman and introduce everyone else? People love superheroes. As long as you make good, interesting movies the rest will take care of itself.

Yes Warner Bros. has dropped the ball for the most part, but I for one like where they are headed. Since Geoff Johns got some power and Kevin Tsujihara (he's a comic fan) became CEO you've seen a plan starting to take place. Flash and Arrow have been great. Gotham I'm disappointed in, but again it's Batman related so people will eat it up. Suicide Squad has the makings of something special and B v.S is Batman and Superman together on the big screen. As long as the flick isn't a complete failure, things should work out for DC and WB just fine.

You can't look at DC as anything but a failure when compared to Marvel. All they are doing now is reacting to Marvel's successful blueprint. and I'm sure they will butcher JL. I have no faith in DC to do anything right when it comes to film. Batman trilogy was great because of the strong vision from the director. I am happy with what they are doing on the small screen though. Big fan of Arrow, Flash and Gotham.

Now, just as they are developing a plan for the big screen Marvel jumps ahead again by developing original material for Netflix. DC? Nothing, but Im sure they will copy Marvel in that department as well several years too late.

I'm not a fanboy of Marvel or DC, I like both and have read both, but I gotta say as I get older I'm finding the Marvel characters and universe to have more depth and feeling to it than DC. For one, it helps being able to associate it with real settings. I can go to NYC and see the bridge where Gwen Stacy died. I can't do anything like that for DC characters. But, other than that I feel like many of the DC characters are wooden goody two shoes types. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Hal Jordan, Barry Alen, Aquaman...where is the personality there? Who's the comic relief? Who's the bad boy? Marvel's characters are much grittier and more relatable. They deal with real life problems when they aren't in uniform. DC characters don't seem to have real life problems other than typical back story revenge stuff or love interests.

I honestly feel that the only way JL has a chance is if DC goes the road less traveled and picks Guy Gardner to be the Green Lantern. At least then they will have at least one smart ass bad boy who doesn't fit in.

THey messed up GL with casting Reynolds as Jordan. He would have made a better Flash,he has the smart aleck feel. Better Jordan would have been Fillion. Or my first choise David Boreanez
Bad news is with JL is the rumor is they are going the Stewart route. Totally going to kill the thing, he has no charisma or anything. Unles they do a killer job casting him and not following the comic book character.
THe problem with the DC characters is they are god like. THey are designed to be unbeatable. Hell,Supes does have a weakness beyond Kryponite but almost no one knows it.
I like all of the DC TV shows so far even COnstantine,I just wish it could be darker. GOtham is rocking but all of a sudden Shield is blasting bombs out of the park every week.
Plus, the casting of Wonder Woman is a total fuck up. bad casting all around. If she was younger by like 5 years I would have said cast Lucy Lawless or hell go full bore bad ass and cast Rousey.

Three trailers most of which use recycled footage time and again from a two-and-a-half hour blockbuster movie .... I think you're just fine.

True.


I still wish I had the will power to not watch any of them. Just not possible.
