      On the main. There are exceptions and I think DC has made a better job over the years. Batman is still my favorite hero of them all and he has some pretty dark stories. But most DC heroes aren't quite as believable as Marvel's. All of Marvel's heroes are flawed as men. Spiderman is always the reluctant hero, as are the X-Men who are so often persecuted. Tony Stark has his drinking problems and an arrogance that is only rivaled by Thor's and The Hulk needs to explanation for why he's a flawed personality.

      By contrast though while I think the Marvel Heroes are generally better written that DC's I do think that DC's villains are more interesting than Marvel's.
      Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

        But you get my general notion right ?

          I really hope they do this! I'm not sure if I can wait until September 25th for the DVD!


          I personally was quite amazed by just how good The Avengers was, but then it was directed by Joss Whedon. If anyone could pull off this kind of film it is him. The dialogue is sharp, the characters maintain their depth even though they have to share the screen, the action is not overdone and Loki is the perfect villain (yeah, I'm a little biased). I have now seen the film four times and love it more with every viewing.

          As for the Justice League, I'm not entirely sold on it. I liked the build up to the Avengers, how it was premeditated, all the little snippets with Nick Fury at the end of the films. The DC films have not done this, and as such J.L. seems like it just wants to snatch up some of the success of the Avengers.

            I so hope this is true and I can't wait to see it again!

              The movie was GREAT!! It had a good storyline with amazing actors. (I'm surprised they got them all together; they were terrific!).
              However, I wasn't impressed by Loki. He just seemed...weak. A "Puny god." He did some planning but his sceptor did a lot of the work. Though I laughed at Loki's reaction when he had to watch Thor battle with Iron Man and Captain America.

              The Avengers had way more humor than I had anticipated. It'd be great to see again.

                  I honestly thought the scene with Loki and Hulk was actually pretty stupid both in and out of universe.
                  Spoiler:
                  Loki's strength is supposed to be manipulation and trickiery rather than brute force like the Hulk, but he just forgot about all that for some reason when confronted with the Hulk, plus he's still an asgardian. He's still stronger and more durable than most of the other characters.

                  But I guess it's supposed funny to see a dimwitted rage monster squash a pompous demi-god so it happened anyway. Whatever.

                  I hope they keep Coulson dead. I really enjoyed that character but his death was kind of an important part of the movie. I once saw this thread somewhere discussing if he was really dead or not and almost everyone seemed to want him to have actually been a life model decoy robot. That would totally cheapen the movie, imo.

                    Not really ... as it was shown in the movie that Fury was willing to lie to the team about the playing cards... plus with the fact he was 'called' off camera...it's quite easy to 'leap' to the conclusion that he's still alive somewhere.... i doubt the Son of Coul fans will let his death go quietly

                      I agree with I-P. Would definitely cheapen the movie if that were the case. Besides, it seemed pretty blatantly obvious to me that Cobie Smulders was brought in to fill the exact same role for the lead-up to Avengers 2.

                        This has now hit $600 million is the US, becoming only the 3rd film to do so, not adjusted for inflation.

                            Why so many disks? The movies would just need one for each. Is that four disks of extras then?

                              Because it includes The Avengers and all five build up movies (Iron Man 1+2, Incredible Hulk, Thor and Captain America). I'd assume it's 6 discs for each movie (naturally) and if any of the other films had multiple discs then they'd be included as well.

                                The Avengers will probably take 2/3 discs as this would probably include the extended verion of The Avengers.
