Absolutely love Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, that alone makes me want to watch this movie, the rest is just gravy :)

Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow?

The Iron Man movies were one long nerdgasm from beginning to end. The Thor and Cap were rather "meh" in my book.

Awesome. If it's any good, I can see myself watching it in theaters more than once.

Shhhh... Trying not to suffer the GF's wrath here xD

Hulk catching Iron Man is pretty awesome.

Not a huge fan of Cap's new look. One from the first film was batter.

Hum. I can accept a lot of silliness (it IS a superhero movie, after all), but Captain America... I don't know. He's just silly ^^

Please, don't suck.

Please, don't suck.

Please, don't suck.

I really want this to not suck. Your girlfriend should be worried about you if you aren't seriously attracted to Scarlett Johansson.

I agree, I love how they worked the straps and buckles into a stars and stripes look.

Just watched the trailer linked above. Awesome! So Hulk will be one of the good guys here? For a while I was worried he would be made evil, 'cause according to the Wikipedia article here, it is a possibility:

"Leterrier made the film's final shot of Banner ambiguous; the thought being if there is a sequel, it would mean Banner finally masters control over his anger; if there is not a sequel, the shot indicates instead that in the scheduled 2012 feature The Avengers, he becomes a menace."

I thought it would be a mess, but then I saw Joss DAMN Whedon in the credits and all worries were put to rest. The man can write with large ensemble casts and make jawsome movies/tv programmes.

Yeah, except he is going to kill off main characters because he's a jerk. And that is how he works. Granted, I love him. But: jerk.

I am moderately excited for this movie, it definitely doesn't look bad. But I don't know if I'll actually see it in theaters. I am not the hugest superhero fan and so I'm not really nerdgasming as much as I could be over here.

Well, in the comics he sort of did sort of didn't (he was deceived by Loki). However in those, he'd left before Cap'n USA showed up, so I guess they're taking their own course with these films.
The thing I like best about Joss Whedon is the lack of character immortality. It's refreshing to know that when the guys are in trouble, they might not all come back out smiling. Compare that to the X-Files, where Mulder would jump into the water infested by fluke/shark/alien etc. and you just knew he was coming back out. It became tedious rather than tense to watch those scenes.

It's a comic book, how many times have most of these characters died? Yep, a lot. It lacks the impact Whedon likes.

Oh I totally agree. And it makes seeing the characters actually survive that much better. But damn is it horrible when they die.

haha, valid point. I guess that is a problem with not having your own world and rules entirely when telling a story. I'm sure he's done normal Whedon-esque things though.
