THE AVENGERS – TRAILER

October 11th, 2011 | by Tom

Okay, if you’ve been on the internet at all today, you know that the first trailer for The Avengers is tearing thing up.

(Although, oddly, when I tweeted about it without linking to it, several people wrote back “Uh, link?”)

So that’s what this blog post is for. If you haven’t seen the trailer for The Avengers yet, here it is:

INITIAL REACTIONS

Immediately I was impressed that there was an adversarial tone between the individual members of the team. “I don’t play well with others,” Tony Stark quips. “Big man in a suit of armor – take that away and what are you?” Captain America sneers. Oh, and is that Thor taking a flying leap, about to smash Captain America’s shield?

This is all very much in keeping with the comics. The “friendly misunderstandings” that lead to heroes battling each other before banding together to fight the common enemy. Total “Who Would Win in a Fight” geek bad-assery on display here.

Clearly Joss Wheadon is giving Tony Stark all the best lines – at least in the trailer. I hope this is the case throughout the movie. One of the biggest advantages to the Iron Man films was Robert Downey Jr’s motormouth style. With a script by Wheadon, you’ve got the best of both worlds when it comes to words and delivery.

What I really like is how close to the vest they’re keeping Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye and Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk. Barely any screen time or dialogue for either of them in this trailer. Everyone else we’ve seen in action in other movies. But these two are the last unknown variables. Expect Marvel to continue to keep fans on a string regarding those two.

What’s you reaction to the trailer? Personally, I think it was perfectly executed and it gives me high hopes for May 2012. Why don’t you leave your comments below. C’mon. You know you wanna…

TRAILER – THE AVENGERS, EXTENDED

If you travel in geek circles, the big news today was that Marvel aired the latest trailer for The Avengers during some… sporting event last night? Football? I don’t keep up on these things.

Let’s focus our attention on what really matters.

This trailer is the extended online edition which is somehow 30 seconds longer than what aired last night without telling us too much more about the movie.

I’d say Marvel is doing a pretty good job of whipping up a nerd frenzy. They’re showing us just enough without giving away too much. With each additional release, they show a little more, but they don’t go overboard. Clearly they know that the Hulk is their ace in the hole and they’ve done a good job obscuring him up to this point.

GeekTyrant did an excellent job of dissecting the trailer and grabbing stills – a few of which I’m going to share here. But you should really check out their article for more details.

Here’s our best look at the Hulk so far.

And because you all know what a huge Iron Man geek I am, here are the two stills that got my heart racing.

Suiting up…

The Avengers, Iron Man, Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr.

…and would you look at that? I see some additional back thrusters and shoulder-mounted weaponry in that still! Looks like Iron Man got an upgrade!

The Avengers, Iron Man, Tony Stark, Robert Downey Jr

Yeah, I know, I’m hopeless.

What’s your reaction to this trailer? Leave your comments below!
