Good gosh, this has to be one of the most exhilarating Marvel trailers I've seen in a long time. I'm reeled in, and ready to go. Only one thing left to do: watch the first Avengers...

Saw this at like 2am, when I should have been sleeping   so excited for this now! (not that I wasn't already lol)

Here's my take on stuff.

Of course, I'm just a fan speculating on one trailer, some comics and a lot of internet rumours, so I could be totally wrong.

"Nothing goes down 'less I'm involved. No nuggets. No onion rings. No nothin'. A cheeseburger gets sold in the park, I want in! You got fat while we starved on the streets...now it's my turn!" -Harley Morenstein

And youtube isn't working again.

Ha ha, forgot that! Excellent point. I assume Andy Serkis is doing motion-capture in Star Wars, whereas here he's actually acting, which is new to me.

I hadn't properly realised how much Marvel are cramming into this film. As I said before, there's a significant new character not even shown in this trailer, and quite a few scenes not directly related to what we thought was the main storyline, suggesting they're setting up lots of things for Phase 3. I hope they don't cram too much in to too short a film - I'd happily watch a 3 hour long Avengers film.

Thought it was pretty boring, honestly. Trailer-wise it's just like every other super hero trailer released the past five-or-so years - and there's been far too many for me to keep caring about them.

I'd have to concur with Willow Tree and Filip; I've been getting rather bored of superheroes of late.  Not that I don't like superhero movies (far from it), but there's been such an over-saturation of them that it's beginning to feel stale.

Personally I thought The Avengers was pretty underwhelming--you already knew how it was going to end before it started.  This looks like more of the same, really, i.e. an over-the-top action movie set to Inception rip-off music that values style over substance.  Mostly this trailer just begs the question of why the Avengers are apparently more pre-occupied with fighting each other than dealing with this new threat, who these random people with superpowers are, and who the sweaty guy with the hipster haircut and beard, who appears for all of three seconds but otherwise has no apparent connection to the rest of the movie, actually is.

At least, that's my take on it.

(The "Pinocchio" thing is actually pretty clever, though.)

Well, you saw what Thor did to Iron Man when he tried to get a line in. Can you blame them?

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm actually pretty hyped. Especially after I spent a large amount of my summer absorbing Buffy/Whedon stuff so I'm pretty excited about all that stuff. Plus I'm just a huge super hero guy who couldn't give a crap about over-saturation cause I'm all about that stuff.

So brave

Youtube @TheRealSonjira I consider it a personal defeat if my pee is not perfectly clear every time.]

True--The Dark Knight is one of my all-time favourite films and I really like Man of Steel, but it getting repetitive.  In the past few years we've had 2 Spider-man movies, 2 Captain Americas, 3 Iron Man movies, 2 Thors, a bunch of X-Men films, and the Avengers, and it feels like it's just getting too much for me--and now DC is jumping on the bandwagon with Batman vs Superman.  (And not all of them are good; I found Dark Knight Rises pretty weak in comparison with the rest of the trilogy, and Iron Man 2 sucks.)  It's a bit like eating delicious chocolate cake every day for a year; while it tastes good, but I'd still be tired of it at the end of the year.

Maybe I'm a bit biased, but it seems that for Marvel especially these films are beginning to get pretty formulaic.  The good guy always wins, the outcome is predictable, just the scenery is slightly different.  As I stated before, The Avengers was underwhelming to me because you already know exactly how it's going to end, i.e. the heroes save the day and capture Loki, etc.  By contrast, The Dark Knight is much more suspenseful and engaging because we literally have no idea what The Joker is going to do next, and the film isn't afraid to take risks.  Loki is basically a spoiled brat with superpowers; The Joker is genuinely terrifying, and he doesn't need super-strength to prove it.  Heroes having to work together to beat the threat was a huge theme in The Avengers, but judging from the trailer they clearly haven't learned their lesson, so it just feels like more of the same to me.  (Not to mention, Fury unites the Avengers in the corniest way possible with Coulson's death].. except it turns out he didn't die] after all, which removes any emotional weight and significance.)  And when a superhero film actually tries to do something different (like Superman killing Zod] in Man of Steel)... well...

I'd much rather see films that focus on much more obscure comic book characters, and ones that aren't afraid to take risks or kill off characters.  There's plenty of fresh and interesting material there if done right, and it makes a nice change from the endless Brotherhood of Justice Avengers films we're getting.

You're absolutely correct in saying that superhero movies aren't the worst thing in film these days, it's much better than lame Hunger Games rip-offs and Michael Bay films.  (I genuinely don't get why people still pay to watch his movies.  Everyone knows what his films are like and talks about how bad they are, but stick Optimus Prime on a robot dinosaur and suddenly everyone, in true internet fashion, is like OMG GUISE THIS IS GONNA BE LIKE TEH MOST EPIC AND AWESOME THING EVAR!!!!!11!!)  Still, I'd much rather see original well-made films than these endless superhero films.  Again, I'm not against superhero films, I love me some superheroes, and I'm definitely open to seeing a superhero film that manages to do something interesting and original, but at this rate I feel like the whole superhero fad is getting stale pretty quickly.

(tl;dr:  I love superhero movies, but it's just getting bland and repetitive at this point and I'd rather see something fresh and new.)
