Marvel Cinematic Universe Running Thread

[Centurion40]

Like me, some of you are die-hard Marvel movie fans.  So I though that I would share this with you, in case you are interested and unaware.  The web-page touches on Avengers 2, along with the next Captain America (now filming) and other tidbits.

I am not an avid comic book reader (I stopped reading comics around the time that I was 9 years old), so I appreciated the level of detail (provided by the cinemablend website) that allowed me to research the comic characters background, and get a solid sense of where the Marvel movies will be going with the Avengers characters franchise, that I so love.

I have a confession to make here today.....

I have not yet watched the Avengers.  I even have it on DVD.  The DVD is sitting next to the DVD player and has been for quite some time.  It's sad but true.

Wow.  I mean... wow!  Cap utters one of the greatest, dead-pan orders ever: "Hulk, smash."

You need to rectify that immediately.

It looked like you fell and broke a hip I was just coming over to see if you were ok.   :P

I want to know how they're going to introduce Ultron w/o introducing Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne first.

I mean, seriously...  You can't introduce Batman without killing his parents.  You can't introduce Ultron w/o the reason for Ultron's existence.

Looks like they're going to introduce Hank Pym through the Ant Man movie

Which still makes no sense, because the Ant-Man movie happens after Av2.


(Also, technically the 2008 Hulk movie wasn't a sequel to the Ang Lee film, it only has a few similarities to how that film ended for sake of pseudo-continuity. The origin and action and characterizations pre-film are almost entirely different. It was a reboot that simply skipped the origin events, like they happened in a previous movie.)

[MetalDog]

I was a little bent, ok, a lot bent, that Pym and Van Dyne weren't in the first Avengers.  But you have to know who Pym is before Ultron.  Period.

[bayonetbrant]

You have to know who Janet is, too...

Too bad Marilu Henner wasn't younger....
