    With just under a month to go and 3 weeks after AMC announced it they have sold out of the Avengers all day marathon. They are adding more cities&shows now.

    Sure, these are diehards but it's a good sign for sure.

    Yeah. I mean, I can see some of the complaints. The lighting does look a bit flat and tv-ish and I don't think the Black Widow fight scene looked entirely convincing, either, but as long as there's a good story, well-written dialogue, good acting, and some fun action setpieces, I'm not going to nitpick any of those details. And I don't see any reason to doubt that Whedon will deliver on all of those points, so far.

    From what I remember, neither Thor or Captain America got one, only junior novels.

    A 30 sec TV spot that highlights that awesome Stark/Loki chat from the longer trailer.

    "We have a Hulk"

    "I'm starting to worry" posts about movies and TV shows always make me laugh.

    I "start to worry" if I get mail from the IRS in June or a doctor frowns at my lab report. I don't "worry" about entertainment - it's either fun when it gets here or it's not.

    We understand the attitude very well, no need to waste your time re-articulating it.

    It's rude to teach English composition anywhere but English class.

    Look up "hyperbole" in a good dictionary. But if someone were actually suffering mentally, why would that be funny? What kind of person would actually laugh about this?

    Enough said.

    PS Stating the obvious, quoting the subtexts.

    Why are you getting so defensive? He's right, worrying over something as trivial as entertainment is silly.

    I don't get the lighting complaints. It looks pretty much like the exact same cinematography and lighting style as in the other Marvel movies so far-- which I'm sure was the intention.

    And it's not like Captain America or the others didn't have plenty of those flat, greenscreen-pretending-to-be-outdoors shots either.

    Why? Because there's something obnoxious about someone taking the trouble to be so sly about being gratuitiously offensive. If there really was somebody genuinely worrying, surely they're already punished. It's not like this was friendly advice.

    But this makes me think: Why are you offended by something as trivial as an internet post?

    There's at least one shot of the adversaries in one of the latest trailers; not very Skrull-like.

    ^ What are you referring to? The only thing I can think of is the "Shockwave" like mechanical being that has been shown in multiple trailers and tv spots. I've read some interesting and amusing theories about it. The best one is:
    That it is the MCU version of Fing Fang Foom!!
    I don't think it is that but I did think that was kind of cool.

    Watch the clip where Cap says 'Hulk, smash' and you'll effectively see Hulk smashing a not very Skrull-like alien.
