I liked the movies so far, but i've to say i dislike the Avengers.
Everytime somebody puts 'high power' heroes together with 'low power' heroes i'm critical.
It can work, but most often i think it's fucking stupid.

That said, i'm annoyed by Marvels need to have at least one afro-american in it. I mean i don't have any problem with afro-american superheroes or anything like that, but i'm fucking annoyed when they alter the background of a character just so they can say "Look we're political correct, we also have an important afro-american character in the movie!".
And no, i don't think there's another reason behind the change of Nick Fury.



Nice trailer though.

Actually the ultimate universe Nick Fury is black, and is based on Samuel L. Jackson. The movies are based on the ultimate universe, so it makes sense to have the ultimate nick fury. The ultimate universe has been going for 10 years, so its not like they said "Hey lets have a black Nick Fury" when writing the movies script.

So they're supposed to be based on the Ultimate versions? I mean okay, after i saw what they made out of Deadpool in Wolverine Origins it could be based on Mortal Kombat, but as far as i can tell Iron Man is definetly not the Iron Man from the Ultimate Universe and so i wouldn't have thought so.

But okay that would change it a bit - but than again i guess the reasoning for an afro american Nick Fury in the Ultimate 'series' was the same as the one i mentioned...

Hmm but maybe i'm just 'angry' because it seems as if Joe Carnahan won't do a Taskmaster movie/series, which i really would have loved to see ;)

Yes the Ultimate versions are what they are going off of, although they are taking the best from the original (616) comics and the Ultimates and combining them a bit.

They went with Ultimate Nick Fury because Samuel Jackson is the actor that Ultimate Nick Fury was based off of. So basically the artist of the Ultimates drew Nick Fury to look like Samuel Jackson, Sam digged it, and then he became involved with the movies.

I am also against altering characters for no reason. Deadpool was a major fuckup in Wolverine Origins, but that wasn't Marvel Studios.
Marvel Studios seems to be taking good care of their characters so far.
The high-powered heroes with low powered heroes complaint is silly....sorry. I don't know how it's stupid since most comics with teams are the exact same way. Hawkeye may not have powers,but he has the ability to take out the Hulk and has done so in the Thunderbolts.
They basically made a Movieverse(their quote not mine) with an amalgam of both comic series. The Ultimates was created to update the Marvel characters basically.
I actually prefer the Ultimate Fury because he is a breath of fresh air. Hell they could have the white Nick Fury as a LMD decoy!
 
They used a really obvious song for the trailer, but it was NIN so I can forgive them (anyone else notice a trend a song from the Fragile was featured in 3 big, blockbuster films, 300 = Just Like you Imagined; Terminator 4 = Day the Whole World Went Away; Avengers = We're in this Together Now).

Anyway I'm ind of excited for this, it looks pretty good, but I'm worried about it being a clusterfuck, with all these superheroes and (possibly) villains.
 
Whedon is the director, I hope this doesn't mean that Black Widow is gonna get mary sue powers and the male heroes would take a backseat to the story. At teh end of the Cap America Movie Red Skull looked liek he was transported to Asgard or Ygdrassil itself. Loki and Red Skull as villians?
 
I thought I would post this. An image of the avengers together, plus a first proper look at the Hulk.
