Yeah, I see where you are coming from there.
Ant man did save Iron Man after he knocked out the Hulk and lost power to his suit, and once again when his armor was locked up by a virus ( a virus that was in Tony’s lungs, and played havoc with any other armor wearing hero (and villain), and he was stuck out in the desert. Geek question: Who was the that invented the virus?
I liked him as Yellow jacket, felt very bad when he had his breakdown, of course didn’t like him when he abused Janet. Liked him a lot when he joined up with the West Coast Avengers, and had more respect for him when he didn’t laugh in Tony’s face with his perm and 'stache look…

Though I am a bit insulted that you didn’t include Iron Man with Thor and the Hulk, That would be the original team for me…

Ant man was supposed to be in the line up of the Avengers movie, they just didn’t get his movie finished in time (or at all!!) It seems that they have a good formula to push the individual hero’s movies first, then “assemble” them.

So I guess I’ll give him a chance, like I said, I love the way the portray him in the new cartoon.

Where are you seeing that? I think I remember hearing a rumor last year about Wash playing Ant Man in Avengers, but nothing came of it. As for the larger issue, while the balance wasn’t bad here, I think adding someone else could make it tough to give everyone their due. While there’s one person who was significant in this one that won’t be in Avengers 2, they’ll probably have to do more to establish the villain they hinted at unless he’s in one of the in-between movies.

Only character that really didn’t seem to have much personality in this one was Fury’s deputy (the other SHIELD lady).

I do a lot of reading on the various sci fi sites.
I believe the info came from Stan Lee about the director being unable to complete the Ant Man movie.
Also his who would you like to see join I Believe he chose Ant Man.
SYFY did their group of comic Avengers they would like to see in a live action movie, Ant Man was the choice.

My first post on this was about the Thanos reveal. Add the Infinity Gauntlet, and it does get a bit more Galactic, and off planet (I would think).
Don’t know if the Avengers should go off planet, but if they follow the Infinity Gauntlet story, Avenging half the planets population is one reason to do it…

I wonder if any crossovers will occur? I would like to see Beast show up, or Reed Richards. Beast was a regular on the Avengers back when I used to follow the comic (late 70’s to early 80’s). Spiderman already made a very short cameo at the end of the film, so crossovers seem likely. A STARGATE would be a very funny way to get the Avengers off planet! :smiley: But my money is on the Shi’ar if intergalactic travel becomes necessary, or perhaps the Eternals; after all they are based in our solar system and Thanos is a former member.

I would love a Doctor Strange movie… And I trust Joss not to wuss down Thanos the way Galactus was wussed down in FF, that was a travesty. :mad:

What do you mean Spider-man showed up?

And don’t expect any Fantastic Four, X-men,or Spider-man characters in Avengers until Disney gets the rights back from Fox, Fox, and Sony respectively

#86

Spiderman was swinging on the Stark building at the end as the camera was backing away. It was quick and he was in shadow so you could not even see the colors on his costume… Now I know why he was in silhouette if they do not have the rights, cute. :slight_smile:

#87

You did not see what you think you saw lol

#88

Saw it for the second time today. The ending was edited. It was shorter, showed less of the STARK building and did not pull back as far and show the devastation of the city. And yes, Spiderman was missing this time… In fact the section of the building he was on last time was not even ‘in frame’. I bet he was added as a gag, and the footage was not supposed to be released to the public. Must have been done to poke fun at all the rumors of him appearing in the film, a running ‘in house’ joke that accidentally made it out on a few copies that shipped it to theaters. The trailers were different too…

Oh well this is not the first time I have seen an early version of a film that became different a short while later. Time Bandits was trimmed down from the early American version I saw at a ‘prescreening’, must have been in response to the questionnaires we filled out afterwards. The same with Conan, the final cut was way different from the ‘prescreening’ I saw a 2 month’s prior. And STTMP was a Frakking mess when I saw it on opening night, sound was missing, mattes were missing in scenes. The worst thing was the giant 1000 foot tall human where a star field was supposed to be, we all burst out laughing at that. There where space was supposed to be was a studio tech doing touch up work on the star dock model, needless to say that reel quickly disappeared.

Oh well, since that is no longer in the movie I dare not speak of it again. People will think I made it up, or was tired and mistook shadows moving across the STARK building for something else. Hell, over time I may even begin to doubt my own memory… :stuck_out_tongue:

I just watched a second time. Just as good, but I noticed something I missed the first time.

In the closing credits, one of the things they used to represent Black Widow was one of the things she had on her wrists, but I don’t recall them being used in the movie. Did I miss something, or will they be explained in a deleted scene or something?

#90

When she’s fighting solo on the bridge she uses it once

#91

I have officially hit geek rock bottom. My mom has seen Avengers and I have not. blubbering sob

#92

I saw it this afternoon.

Such a fun movie!

#93

You might be right about Spiderman, check it out before it gets taken down!

I feel your pain. Since I have small kids, I will not likely get to see Avengers on the big screen. I will be getting the BluRay when it arrives.

#95

This is worth big-screen viewing if you gotta go 8 p.m. on a Monday night*. You’ve been waiting your life for this moviegoing experience, whether you realize it or not. Or, rather, I had been; maybe you are too.

*Which is when I saw Hellboy when my kids were wee ones.

Image too large to embed - it’s a timeline of events leading up to the avengers

#97

That’s pretty sweet.

Now all someone needs to do is cut all the movies together so they follow the timeline. What would that be, about 15 hours? Anybody who’s done a Firefly marathon can handle that.

#98

Or watch two of the LOTR trilogy movies. smirk like Kirk

#99

Another little quibble I just thought of. Jarvis called the new suit for the final battle the Mark 7, but I only count 6:

The “in a cave with a box of scraaaaaaaaaaaps” suit
The silver suit/War Machine
The first Red/Gold suit
The Suitcase suit
The Triangle chestpiece suit
The “Mark 7”

Did I miss one, or were they assuming that one of the ones that was in 2 movies was actually two separate suits?

#100

Didn’t he have a different red/gold suit at the beginning of Iron Man 2?
