BioShock Infinite is like playing some homeless guy's vivid imagination
Just saw the movie. Thought it was pretty good. I'm not a big fan of comics, be it books or film, so I was in no rush to see this one. I hadn't seen any of the individual films in the universe, but I didn't really feel like I missed out. The beginning and middle were alright, while the last half hour or so was great. Funniest moment was the "You've got a condition, son" line.
Still don't care to watch Iron Man or Captain America or Thor or whatever. Batman seems to be the only superhero I give a crap about.

I wonder how much the Blu-Ray alone is going to make them.

You should blame network execs for requiring the show to be less dark during the second season, and not they way they implemented this demand.
No worries about the double post, but I can't help with the unintelligible question :-/
I remember Pepper Potts asking Agent Caulson how was Callie(?) or something and somebody else mention that name again later in the movie.

I think she meant Cali, as in California.
The person she asked about was an unnamed cellist.
Doesn't change what I said about it being the worst version of she hulk though.
He's clearly the best out of the lineup. It's weird that they're flexing him for only 3 payments.
I'm personally just picking up Hawkeye. I already have the first Thor and modded him to be a bit more bulky, so I'm set.
Is that figure as good as it looks on the pic? Which company made it?

So. Just learned that the idea to kill Coulson was not Whedon's, but Feige's.
So.
You know.
That settles if he's coming back or not.
I don't know shit about The Vision other than he's a robot.

Wasn't Vision an android based off the original human torch from the 1940's?
his personality was taken from wonder man, and his design was based on jim hammond
Is it me or the Iron Man fights in the Avengers were a lot better than the ones in the 2 Iron Man films?
Disney and Marvel is going to make a ton of money on that. Hopefully the Blu-ray comes out before the end of the year.

Hulk fighting the Abomination was cool though.
I doubt they'll make Coulson the Vision. They'd need both Ant-Man and Ultron and they won't have time in his movie (especially if Wasp or Scott Lang are involved) and I doubt many will remember Coulson by Avengers 2.

Yeah, I guess. But the rest of the movie was so awful by the time that fight came up I'd already lost interest. Plus there was that bit in the fight where he said 'hulk smash!' and it wasn't half as awesome as it was in the avengers.
Cap did have a good fight with Red Skull toward the end. Thor's end fight was terrible. Iron Man really didn't have to fight if he just used the tank missile to blow people up.
Coulson is the fabric that ties the MCU together. Ofcourse everyone will remember him, he's been in the most movies.
If the Ant-Man villain is Ultron, they'd for sure have him ready by A2. Not that I'm anticipating it, but still. Especially if Ant-Man is slated for for late 2013/early 2014.

Yeah, there seem to a lot of people missing this point. They need not be slavishly devoted to origin stories, and really haven't been so far.

Eh, he was never a big role in any of the films. To me he was just a faceless suit, and until the avengers there was no real character development into him. In fact, he kinda came off as a jerk in Thor/IM2, only to turn around and be a lovable dorky fan in the avengers. If I remember him its only because of people here have brought him up so much.

So I just read the Thor/Destroyer/Marnot story in Mighty Thor Vol. 2... and wtf? The Destroyer is a beast. I see why people shit on the movie version now. :lol
Hot Toys makes those figures and they are amazing. I have the Bruce Wayne/Batman Begins Suit and first Dark Knight Joker figure and love them. The detail is so good. I'm planning on getting the 89 Batman and Joker next week. I think I might get all the Avengers ones as well just cause they look really cool as a group.
Here are all the available and pre-order Avengers ones...
Loki
Capain America
Thor
Hawkeye
Nick Fury
They've only teased Hulk, Iron Man, and Black Widow so far.
Here are some of the older Marvel ones
Iron Man Mark 1 (2.0)
Iron Man Mark II
War Machine
Suit-Up Gantry Iron Man in Mark IV Armor
Iron Monger
Red Skull
Odin
Captain America First Avenger outfit
There are plenty more Iron Man versions, but I can't find them on the site anymore, they're probably sold out.
EDIT - Found them, they were hidden...
Iron Man Mark III
Iron Man Mark IV (Secret Project)
Iron Man Mark IV
Iron Man Mark V
Iron Man Mark VI
Thor from his own movie
Tony Stark
and Phil Coulson should have been Phil CLAWson.

Thur would have been better, duh.
I liked some of the Iron Man action scenes.
Just saw it for the 2nd time in a pretty full theater. Not as fun as the midnight showing but it was nice hearing some dialogue that I missed. Took my 11 year old brother along as well for his birthday, he lost his shit throughout and kept elbowing me during the last 30 minutes. Knew it was Thanos during the credit scene as well.

This. All this!
I want them all! Now I just gotta get rich. ;[ The level of detail is amazing.
This. Really thinking about picking up a couple, but I really shouldn't. That payment plan is very alluring.
payment plan for a toy? i say pass on it.
Rewatching The Incredible Hulk (the only one I skipped marathoning prior to the Avengers). It's just really mediocre, ultimately. I don't have any serious problems with it... it's like the absolute least amount of work you could do with a great cast (I love Tim Roth and and Edward Norton seriously) and the character of the Hulk to create a movie.
This certainly isn't a fair comparison, but I was watching it while playing Arkham City and I couldn't believe how much more compelling the in-game narrative was than that of the film.
I did catch the usage of the original "sad walking" music from the Hulk TV show, which I missed the first time around. And I do like the conversations between Blonsky and Ross quite a bit. But really it's Ruffalo's character now- he just owns it.

The Incredible Hulk is quite passable as a film. It's alright, but not offensive in anyway.

I can't remember the last big blockbuster they had a big final battle this good. They didn't feel airless and obligatory, or have bullshit shaky camera. Where the movie actually BUILDS UP to these huge moments, and the action is built around the characters. There's drama, jokes, surprises, suspense, and goddamnit, the Hulk interrupted a dramatic Loki speech to beat the shit out of Loki like a ragdoll. It's absolutely amazing.
Exactly how I'd describe it.
It's funny- every single film I've rewatched has been made better by the Avengers in retrospect... except TIH. Captain America arguably has benefited the most; nearly every line of Evans' is given new weight. But when rewatching TIH I'm just wishing there had been a Ruffalo Hulk prequel movie.
I dunno. Norton does a perfectly decent job. It's just too bad, really. I'm hungry for MORE. IM3 can't come soon enough.
