I’m eagerly anticipating the movie. I love Wheadon’s work, and the crop of Marvel movies that have come out in the last few years (Emo Thor my least favorite, but still enjoyable). This trailer looks decent, but the music turned me off. It felt like a 1996 action film or something. I would have rather had the film’s score or something with less lyrics maybe.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Wheadon can toss that melting pot together dialog-wise in only under 2 hours of play time.. It’s going to have to not give much of any backstory, it’s going to hurt new watchers of the franchise in understanding; can’t wait to see how it gets pulled off.
I don’t think there’s going to be that much to juggle. The lead-up to The Avengers has assumed a focus on The Big Three – Cap, Iron Man and Thor.
That said, I can’t imagine Wheadon giving a bunch of dialogue to Thor. He’s the muscle – central to the plot largely because Loki is the villain and not because he has much of anything interesting to say.
I agree that the music didn’t work too well. However I’ve been excited about this movie, and still am. Still a little bummed about the lack of Ant-Man and Wasp, but oh well. Something to look forward to later.

I got that 1996 action movie vibe, too. But damn if chills didn’t go up my spine when the music scaled up and the title card appeared.
Maybe a little cliche use of the music, but effective.
Maybe I don’t read the text on this site enough (go comics!), but is there a reason everyone is spelling “Whedon” “Wheadon”? Some inside joke?
Nope! Just crappy copy editing on my part!
You’re soaking in it!
