The Avengers!

[TitanoGoji16]

Blah blah blah, Spider-Man shouldn't be an Avenger, yadda yadda yadda

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the original intent of the Avengers simply "Hey, let's throw all our top characters together in one team"? Wouldn't it be a little weird to leave Spider-Man out of a top Marvel character team?

[KaneLocke]

No, it wouldn't. Fact is, most of the Avengers (Hawkeye, Wasp, Giantman/Yellowjacket/Antman/Asshole Extraordinaire) aren't huge Marvel draws. Ironman, Thor, and Cap are the Big Three of Marvel.

Avengers is where you go to be ELEVATED to a top draw.

This movie has no subtitle...yet!

Discuss!

The Avengers: the avenging avengers.

Well from what comic book movies says, Hulk and Loki will infact be the villians of the movie but Loki being the main one.

I don't like the idea of Hulk being the villian for the movie, UNLESS they do it like in the first issue where Loki tricks Hulk and makes the heroes think he causing some destruction and they fight him until they learn of this misunderstanding. Also... you know, let there be a BIG GLOBAL THREAT AS IN JUSTICE LEAGUE SECRET ORIGINS level threat.

[Hellspawn28]

I was hoping for Ultron in the movie, but the movie should be great neverless.

I was hoping for Ultron in the movie, but the movie should be great neverless.

So was I and many others, but I think why we won't have him until a sequal is because they're still working out the antman movie. After that they could be like "Oh hey! We should go check out this Pym fellow for these random robot attacks!" Thus he tells everyone his work on Ultron and thus issue a big fight.

Hell, maybe they could Introduce wonderman and have him sacerfice himself to defeat Ultron thus setting up a 3rd film with the vision.

[Hellspawn28]

I was hoping Ultron for the first movie, and maybe Thanos for the sequels unless Fox has the rights to use Thanos for a SS movie.

[godzilla1996]

The only Avengers I have ever read is the first issue, but that doesn't seem like a very realistic plot for a movie. However, I could see Hulk as a villain, but The avengers join together in order to stop a bigger threat.

[Hellspawn28]

So we might finaly see the Skrulls in the movie.

Skrull rumor just got debunked http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=72714

Too bad, like this much better then the Avengers vs. Hulk idea.

[Hellspawn28]

I remember in the first issue of The Avengers that the issue deal with Loki taking over The Hulk's mind. As long we don't see a major repeat of the Loki battle in Thor then the idea should be okay. I think Iron Man in the movie will end up having a new suit for him to go head to head with The Hulk.

[HeiseiGodzilla117]

See, I love the Avengers vs Hulk and Loki thing. It's more in line with the early Avengers. I can't wait.

[zilla103192]

Disney has acquired the rights to Iron Man 3 and The Avengers, but they want to buy back the rights to Fantastic Four, X-Men, Daredevil and Spider-Man as well, meaning they could be incorporated into the Marvel Movieverse.

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/ ... s/?a=24129

you know spider-man was supposed to be incorperated? there was a scene in an early draft of Iron Man that revealed that Tony made the mechnical Arms for Otto Octavious.

[HeiseiGodzilla117]

I would LOVE for them to buy the rights to those characters as well. The "Marvel Movieverse" is just so much better than what Sony and Fox have done with the franchises.

[Hellspawn28]

Too bad Fox refuses to let go of X-Men, F4, and Daredevil. Its good to know that Marvel was able to get back the rights to Blade, and Punisher though.

[TokyoVigilante]

I wish F4 could get sent home and be given better treatment. And I'd love to see Spider-man brought into the Marvel fold also, but he's gotten a decent treatment under Raimi and his High School Reboot sounds like it'll be at least entertaining.

I can understand why they're keeping X-Men rights, because that encompasses a ton of characters. And that's a lot of toys and more franchise material. It's a shame that they only need to make a film every couple years to keep the rights. Luckily for me, I don't like X-Men at all so it doesn't bother me. And I think X-Men wouldn't really add much to the Marvel Movieverse. However, I would love to see Wolverine fight The Hulk. I think everybody would like that.

Spider-man should have ALWAYS stayed a street level hero for the most part, like Daredevil. That is where his appeal was. He is just NOT important to the Avengers.

Quoted for the absolute complete and utter truth. Probably my biggest gripe with Marvel/Spider-Man in general is when he's thrown into grander scale stories then his character can allow for. Spider-man is strongest as a spunky kid cleanin' up New York and just sticks out like an utter sore-thumb when he's fighting alongside The Avengers in outer space on some planet. Which is why I enjoy Spider-man moreso as a film character then I do a comic book character.

[Hellspawn28]

I think the only issue with The Punisher in the Movieverse is that The Punisher rarely is part of any major Marvel story. Punisher and Captain America only fought like once IIRC?

[mecha-gino]

Punisher had a part in WWH, Civil war, and I think Secret Invasion. And MAAAYBE Siege, if you count the frankencastle stuff.

I'm kind of dissapointed now that the skrulls aren't 100% confirmed for the movie, as I feel in order to do an EPIC team up you need to do what Bruce Timm's Justice League did.

In the miniseries Avengers and the Inifinity Gauntlet, Thanos's attempts to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet were opposed by a group of Avengers consisting of Iron Man, Spider-Man, Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Doctor Doom, his attack on the universe ending when Spider-Man acquired the Gauntlet and used it to undo Thanos's godhood (Simultaneously erasing the entire event from the memories of all but himself and Thanos, much to his slight annoyance at the idea that none of the other Avengers would know of the role he played in thwarting Thanos's schemes).

In a reality where Doctor Doom retained the power of the Beyonder, he acquired the Infinity Gems from the Elders of the Universe and used them to defeat the Celestials in a 407-year-long war before finally forsaking his power.[17]

In an alternate reality where the New Fantastic Four- consisting of Spider-Man, Hulk, Wolverine and Ghost Rider- stayed together after the deaths of the original FF, this team- with Iron Man replacing Ghost Rider- were the only heroes available to fight Thanos. Despite Iron Man's use of Negative Zone-enhanced Celestial armor, Thanos still easily defeated the team, separating Bruce Banner and the Hulk just to show that he could. Fortunately, Wolverine was able to trick Thanos into erasing Mephisto from existence before proceeding to cut Thanos's left arm- and therefore the Infinity Gauntlet- off after tricking him into lowering his guard. With Thanos powerless, Wolverine gave the Gauntlet to Spider-Man, the web-swinger using it to undo the events of Thanos's godhood.[18]

The Reed of Earth-616, in an attempt to 'solve everything' meets with a council of alternate-universe Reeds. Three of them wear Infinity Gauntlets, which only work in concert with their respective universes.[19]
