Does anyone own one of these:

Iron-Man-2-Mark-IV-19.jpg


I think I want one. F'er is pricey though.

i own every single one that's been released so far.
 
Hope it's not posted yet:

http://www.vulture.com/2012/05/how-much-screen-time-does-each-avenger-get.html

Hawkeye: 12:44. It’s no surprise that Jeremy Renner’s assassin was the recipient of the least screen time. His talent involves being a really good archer with a really awesome collapsible bow and really explosive arrows. His longest scene (2:40) is a conversation with Black Widow following a brawl between the two of them.

Thor: 25:52. Chris Hemsworth gets more than his share of hitting people moments, yet is limited to only one extended dialogue scene — a 2:13-long conversation with brother Loki atop a mountain at night. (Though his perfectly timed “He’s adopted” line got maybe the third or fourth biggest laugh of the film.)

Bruce Banner: 28:03 ... if you're combining the double-duty Mark Ruffalo pulls as both Banner and the Hulk (and you really ought to, since the actor donned a motion-capture suit to play the latter). Still, Ruffalo's unchanged mug gets 20:29 minutes of screen time, which is more than is afforded Renner.

Black Widow: 33:35. The most surprising thing to emerge from our little experiment was the fact that Scarlett Johansson’s three-point landing super-assassin got the third-most screen time of all the superheroes. In fact, she got the most unbroken dialogue scenes of any of the six: her introductory interrogation scene (3:14); recruiting Banner in the slums (2:49); a face-off on the Helicarrier with Loki (3:30); and a conversation with Hawkeye following their fight (2:40). Looks like Whedon realized he needed to give one of the film’s two strong female characters lots of talk time.

Iron Man: 37:01. Not surprising, given the manner in which the Downey Jr. one-liner has become the most reliable part of a Marvel movie. His Tony Stark also gets several extended dialogue scenes: particularly one with Pepper Potts and Agent Coulson (4:48), and another with Loki right before the film’s third-act battle scene (3:52).

Captain America: 37:42.
He squeaks by Iron Man, which makes sense, since much of the film’s internal debate about selfishness versus selflessness occurs between Chris Evans’s Cap and Downey’s Stark. He shares substantial scenes with almost every character and is one of the last faces we see on screen, as he rides off on his motorcycle.
 
The SM movies could really use more comedic moments and less drama. The Raimi ones at least. The new one at least has some quips.

What? There's tons of comedic moments in the SM movies, they just don't stem from Spider-Man's quips.

These Marvel movies could use more drama and less comedic moments.
 
Didn't even catch this in Thor

But I'm guessing Avengers 2 won't be out for years and a bunch of individual movies would have been made by then.

Soo...is there ANY chance of some Avengers mention in the new Spiderman? I know Sony does Spiderman movies and Marvel...Marvel movies but it might still happen right? Especially since the new Spiderman talks about Peter's parents and we all know what organization they were part of...
 
For the record; not saying Spiderman 2 is bad. By any stretch of the imagination. Just has more cringeworthy/plain bad bits than I remember.

Still Citizen Kane meets Lord of the Rings compared to Spiderman 3.

I will let you come to my house and eat all my cereal and use my toilet and not flush if Sony or Disney ever mentions the others' franchise in film.

Watch Avengers in 8 years and you'll see the same thing. It happens. Doesn't mean that which was great 8 years ago isn't still great. Sensibilities change over time though.

The Infinity Gauntlet is in Thor?
Man, we need to pay more attention to some of these crappy films.

Different things though... as long as Whedon still directs Avengers 2, we might not have a problem.

Watching Spiderman 2 after 3 lets you see some of the goof that would eventually develop into this...

There is no way you can justify that. At all. Untill Bruce Banner is doing ballet...

ALSO; watching Spiderman 2 it is HEAVILY hinted that Aunt May knows Peter is Spiderman

That must be the other Infinity Gauntlet. The one Thanos used was for the left hand:

Spider-Man 3 has way worse problems than dancing Peter. That's a highlight.

Now dig on this!

And Ant-Man levels of women abuse. Let's not forget that.

Because y'know, portraying a dark side of a person's character is ALWAYS dancing like a 40's swing reject to make someone jealous then casually slapping her upside the head.


Am I the only one who constantly forgets that two Fantastic 4 films were made?

I think we'd all like to forget that ever happened. Jessica Alba in a blue skin tight suit was probably the only redeeming factor.

Both of those are the embodiment of eveil
 
best thing about the FF movies were Johnny Storm and Silver Surfer. now one of them is Cap and the other is on some HDD somewhere.
 
Honestly I never got the Mary Jane/Spiderman relationship in those movies.

She epic blanked him as a popular throughout school, then suddenly they're best friends?
 
Spider Man 2 had a perfect balance of cheesy campiness and affecting sensitivity - a balance none of these Marvel films have been able to find.

Camp is crap.
People think that they know what it means and then point to horrid examples.
Spiderman 2 was good, but the garbage teary eyed crap and the forced attempts at humor really held it down
 
Also, Drag Me To Hell redeems Raimi 10 times over for whatever atrocities he may have committed with his final Spidey film.
 
Still don't understand why people only like Thor's Asgard scenes. There might not be ice giants and giant rainbows and sunshine and farts, but Thor's misadventures on Earth are just so god damn fun.

This drink, I like it. ANOTHER!
 
So the Avengers can never team up with the Fantastic Four right?

Legally, no. And even if MS owned FF, why would the Avengers want to team up? FF are a bunch of losers compared to the Avengers. Who needs a guy who uses flame when you've got a god who controls lightning? Who needs a strong guy when you've got the strongest guy? Who needs a rubber man to reach shit when you've got Iron Man flying around? Who needs an invisible woman when you've got the swag of the Avengers?
