You know it's funny I have been reading a lot of the reviews of the new Marvel Comics movie Avengers. I was a big comic book fan as a kid, (I still like them but I just don't collect them any more) and as a kid I used to have a bunch of Avengers Comics.
Now if you go around and read some of these movie reviews from critics most of them seem to believe that the Avengers movie was just a reason to tie all their previous movies in together to get another block buster movie on the screen. This may be some what of truth but I think the reason for the previous releases were so that Marvel could do this epic film which could amount to another great trilogy if they handle it right.
I mean how do you follow the Spiderman, Ironman and X-men trilogies. Well you create a trilogy of that has all the elements of the previous movies and most of the characters. Though I think they could have done with out the Hulk version. I am not a big fan of the Hulk as a comic nor the movies. Also I don't think the Hulk was ever on the team with Hawkeye and Blackwidow. Beyond that if I was going to push a character to replace the hulk it would have to be Vision, or the Beast if you want a bulky monstrous type character to the movie. Hell adding the Beast would be a good way to get Wolverine involved in the trilogy... since he too was once an Avenger.
And just to make another point I find it's also funny to that I didn't get a lot of response when I pointed this out on FB. I think my geek exceeds that of many of my friends. I may have just been disowned by most of them.
