Okay, so there is one one image in my life that consistently makes me happy no matter when I think about it, and that image, that one image, is your big...I mean the Avengers movie. AVENGERS, on film, each character standing together maybe posing, not needing a back story because they have had their own intro movies, a movie which is nothing but kick ass the entire way through. Filled to the top with super people doing super things, not crying and coming to grips with being super and being different, explored that in X-Men lets let go of the analogies to modern life, or being gay. Evil Villians, crazy evil plots, action, costumes and effects up the ass.

USA Today has this piece on the Avengers, Favreu director of Iron Man had this to say,

"but the ones Marvel is talking about now are Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man and Iron Man. I would love to see that."

I agree, except on the Ant-Man, keep Pym as an antagonist in the background i say. Ant Man should be the newest version of the character, a normal guy with a suit he stole, a fuck up. That is the movie, Edgar Wright of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz fame should be making. We now know that Black Widow is in the Iron Man 2 movie, setting up another character for the Avengers line up, and it might be Scarlett Johansson?

Here is Robert Downey Jr talking the Avengers Movie,

“If we don’t get it right it’s really, really going to suck,” said Downey. “It has to be the crowning blow of Marvel’s best and brightest because it’s the hardest thing to get right. It’s tough to spin all the plates for one of these characters.”

So its going to have to be done really well, and the end of the Incredible Hulk, where Bruce Banner starts to control the Hulk made me very happy. Next Captain America, Thor, Iron Man 2, once the ball gets rolling I hope it never stops.

Next Ultimate Alliance game looks nice too, here is some Deadpool, more Deadpool, bring on his movie!
