OK, so there's definitely something wrong with her hair.
 
ruffalo looks like the jewish kid from freaks and geeks

lol Samm Levine (Lil' Wolverine).

Anyways being banned for a week sucked. Finally get to say something about the film after reading through this thread every day. Saw it twice. Imax 3D at midnight and RealD.

PROS
+ Hulk
+ Tony Stark and Bruce Banner movie please.
+ Has the greatest concentration of fantastic lines in probably any movie I've seen.
+ The pacing once they get to the helicarrier was fantastic.
+ Clever use of all the characters powers against enemies and against each other. Hulk trying to use hammer, Iron Man + Cap shield combo etc.

CONS
- RealD 3D sucks
- First 30 minutes are a little slow
- Still think Hawkeye needed a little bit more. Maybe let us know him a little before you turn him bad.

My super heroes based on comics list as it stands now is probably

The Dark Knight A
The Avengers A
Batman Begins A
X2 A-
Spider-Man 2 A-
Iron Man A-
X-Men: First Class B+
Hellboy 2 B+
Spider-Man B
Superman Returns B
Batman Returns B
Thor B
Batman B
Hellboy B-
Captain America B-
Superman: The Movie B-
Iron Man 2 C+
Hulk C+
The Incredible Hulk C
X3: The last Stand C-

All the rest are complete trash or I haven't seen em.
 
No Unbreakable?

And what the hell at Supes being a B-. Your face is a B-.

Super Heroes based on comics, but yeah Unbreakable is amazing. I didn't watch the Donner Superman till 05. I just didn't like it that much. The spinning the earth to change back time bit was dumb. It just felt a little too dated for me I guess.
 
Not going to lie...browsing this thread at the airport in public is getting a little uncomfortable. :lol

I can agree with this. Him and Selvig going bad never seemed much of a threat at all, and the story didn't have the same impact as if obviously Cap or Stark had been tricked.

I would've loved it if he turned Maria Hill into a goon and then had some awesome Hawkeye action in the jeep/character development instead.

Superman '78 still has one of the finest moments ever filmed in any superhero movie.

The scene where Lois is in the other room, and Clark decides to tell her the truth. He takes off his glasses and morphs into Superman on the spot. No CGI, no makeup, just straight up acting. He then decides against it and *boom*, he's Clark Kent again. Superman has without question the stupidest disquise/secret identity in all of comics. Christopher Reeve sold it and made it work.

Wow, that would've probably been infinitely better than turning him. Dude needed more good guy moments
 
The Avengers: The High School Years!

Renner mullet!

High school Mark Ruffalo kind of reminds me of a skinny version of Hot Pie from Game of Thrones. Time has been good to Iron Man. Jeremy Renner's pic, I don't know why but it's just funny.

Renner's pic reminds me of a kid who's trying to hide the fact he's wearing braces.
 
Ruffalo isn't acting, he just really is The Hulk.
"You know, we could save an assload in post if we just use this guy. He literally can transform into that big green thing naturally..."

Oh good lord.

I yoinked the Iron Man one. Thanks Sentry!

Can somebody remind me what this is based on?

Not sure if this one was posted from DevArt (was an ode to Sendak with the Avengers)

Is it where the wild things are? There's this story I remember with a parade of figures that it seems SO close to, and it's on the tip of my tongue, but I guess Hulk's style means it's definitely WtWTA
 
You're kidding me. I've never seen it. In fact, I still don't understand what it is.

I'm sure you've seen one! Usually right next to the Donner Kebab meat.

What is a shawarma?

Are you talking about Shwarma? Shawerma? Shawrma? Chawerma? Gyros? Gyro? Doner Kebab? Kepap? Sandwish bil hummus?

Is it the one from Abu Dhabi? Syria? Turkey? Lebanon? Iran? Greece? Mexico? Stop with the chest-thumping cultural wars over who first invented shawarma please - it's good, who cares, eat it....!

Shawarma (the closest English translation to the Arabic) is all of those things, and more. I like to think of shawarmas as the "Arabian Taco," because of their ubiquitous and inexpensive nature. (You heard the term here first).

I loved her drop and roll fire at Hawkeye in the jeep move. She was pretty smooth up until she got parked in the Hellicarrier bridge.

Protip; they're not giving a thumbs up here (:

Yep. Like I said, the artist who drew this was commemorating Sendak's passing while also doing an Avengers piece. Go here.
