Which can be good or bad. In a movie like Thor where the main characters are safely established, the lack of a compelling antagonist in the sequel was a big letdown.

In a movie like Guardians where Gunn has to split his focus between introducing so many cosmic elements to the MCU, introducing all these characters and villains, and bringing them together as a team worth rooting for, I don't mind if the villains take a backseat.

I just hope Ronan isn't the caricature he seems to be from the trailers and that they don't just kill him off and neuter future development. He deserves a lot more than that.

I completely agree with you. In fact I prefer it in the case of something like Guardians.

TBH I'm still not on board with Ronan completely. I don't really like his look, it lacks the nobility and he just looks one dimensionally evil. I'm more used to him in the comics recently though, reading up on wiki it seems like he was initially introduced with that sort of temperament. Perhaps there are more political overtones in the film though.

Variety's review is fantastic. I can't wait for this film.

It also spoils a rumoured cameo, watch out for that third paragraph. :3

 

[Discotheque]

Apparently interstellar's new trailer might be in front of this too

For those who have seen it can I get rank of this film compared to the other good marvel studios movies.

Yeah not a huge deal, just might be a surprise for anyone who was trying to avoid any minor fanservice details like that.

HYPE IS EVERYWHERE WE CAN'T TAKE MUCH MORE CAP'N

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

I have a quick request.

Can anyone provide a rundown of which of the 4 Infinity gems we've seen in the MCU so far.

Cap 1 = Tessearct = ??
The Avengers = Loki's Staff = ??
Thor 2 = The Aether = ??
GotG = The Purple Orb = ??

which of the 6 stones are those supposed to be?

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

So while I was at work for 13 hours, Droid got selfies with Burt Macklin and the most attractive man in the world.

I need to sort my priorities out.

I don't know if there is a definitive source on any of this. But I guess:

Tesseract - Space? (Not blue, but it opens portals through space)
Loki's Sceptre - Mind? Soul? Reality? It can control people with "heart" and apparently it can grant powers to someone like the Twins
Aether - Power? (it's red and was literally the source of the Dark Elve's power)
Orb - Reality? Space? We've seen a lot of purple in the GOTG promo material and that kinda makes sense for the setting of the film.

Edit: Whoop nevermind I do remember either Feige or Gunn confirming GOTG's orb to be the Power gem/stone as pointed out above. Makes me wonder what the Aether was supposed to be, because that was a dead ringer for what I would expect the "Power" stone to do.

CBM's GotG Review

So apparently Thanos is fine. Of course, the review is glowing like 95% of the others.

I thought the Aether was power?

I don't know if they've all been confirmed but I'm pretty sure

Cap 1 = Tessearct = Space gem (You saw the space portal it opened with Red Skull)
The Avengers = Loki's Staff = Mind gem (He used it for mind control)
Thor 2 = The Aether = I originally thought power gem but they confirmed the orb to be power, so I'll say this is Soul
GotG = The Purple Orb = Power gem

Nope, half Iranian and half Finnish

Whedon was there too and he had a cane for some reason. Guess he injured himself on set.

 

[mreddie]

Feige confirmed it was Power. I'm guessing the staff is reality and Tesseract is space. Aether is soul I think.

Thor 2 = The Aether = Power Gem

and if The Purple Orb is power, then they really got the colors all mixed up in the MCU

Marvel wiki says Tesseract is the Space Gem

http://marvel.wikia.com/Space_Gem

It has been revealed that the Tesseract of Earth-199999 is actually the Space Gem.

Not sure what the source on that is though, or if it's different in MCU

 

[enzo_gt]

Just an FYI, the MCU wiki has spoilers. Just saw a minor one of the Infinity Stones page.

Thor 2 = The Aether = I originally thought power gem but they confirmed the orb to be power, so I'll say this is Soul
GotG = The Purple Orb = Power gem

Loki's staff and the Tesseract are both blue. Both of them aren't gems, only the cube. This will be confirmed for you when you see Guardians. Six different colored gems.

 

[mreddie]

The Orb was confirmed to be Power.

I meant the orb was power.

Pretty similar to my list, I agree on all but I'm up in the air about Aether. I really though it was power until I saw they confirmed the GOTG orb to be power.

What did the Aether do in Thor 2 aside from make Malekith super strong, and protect Jane/itself from harm? Doesn't seem to line up with Soul or Reality to be honest...

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I know. I'm so hot.

Oh ok, thanks. So the staff isn't one at all - interesting. Many people assumed so after the Cap post credits scene.

What about the rumor

Spoiler

the staff is the reason Scarlet and Quicksilver get their powers?

 

[enzo_gt]

Seems like Reality is the best bet for the Aether then. I guess the Space Gem is the only one we have confirmed as being the Tesseract.

All these reviews and I'm sitting here waiting for August 13th... It's been a long time since I've been this hyped for a film, even more so than The Avengers!

 

[Amagon]

Okay, who is she?

 

[mreddie]

Likely, I just think some people didn't pick up on it. But jury is still out on whether it's a gem.

 

[J10]

That might have been heavily implied, but it doesn't mean it's one of the gems. It's something else. And honestly, if Loki had two gems and still couldn't win, that's just pathetic.

Naya Rivera from Glee. (Thank you Google image search!)

he's lame. I think he looks stupid and he doesn't do much

Very nice. No dragging parts. Only one tiny con is that the facial expression of the villian were not that good sometimes. Finale was very good. Glad i could see it with original dub.

Off to the spoiler thread.
