[Starman!]

I can't wait for this movie!

[Darth Geek]

I want Black Widow to get her own movie.

I would like to see that. My only real problem with her character is that I have a hard time believing she belongs as a ranking member of the Avengers alongside a god, a super suit, and a monster. But on her own I think it would work.

Now you can smell like the Avengers!

Six 'Avengers'-Themed Colognes To Assemble At A Store Near You

JADS International, LLC, which has produced geek-friendly fragrances based on Star Trek and Star Wars, is marketing their latest creation, a set of six different colognes based on the upcoming Marvel Studios summer superhero team-up epic The Avengers.

You can read descriptions of each fragrance here below.

The themes of each cologne is a different member of the Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk, and Nick Fury) and the film's villain Loki. I've never seen cologne used as a marketing tool for a tentpole superhero movie but if the Avengers set smells as good as the descriptions sound I may have to pony up for the six-pack.

Infinity Formula

"Face danger with something dangerous. Activate the Initiative.
Colonel Nicholas "Nick" Fury. Paratrooper, Ranger, Weapons and Demolitions Expert, Aircraft Specialist and Pilot, Green Beret. Veteran of every US War and Military Conflict since WWII. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. "The single most powerful, most important organization on the planet Earth." And the only human strong enough to bring together a group of remarkable people who would fight the battles no one else could."

Patriot

"Your Attack Plan.
A cologne that pays homage to the confident, stand-up-to-bullies, hard working average Joe in every man. PATRIOT Cologne is both reserved and sexy; like a symbol on a shield or a moniker ona motorcycle helmet. Fresh notes of green lime and white pepper are the first to hit with dry oak wood, sandalwood and tequila accords finishing the adventure. Perfect for any time or place, PATRIOT Cologne puts the Novus Mundus in your strong, sensuous hands for you to embrace and discover."

Mark VII

"Armor Up.
A resolutely sophisticated cologne forged from the sea, the sun, the earth, and a touch of devil-may-care whimsy. Transparent, aromatic, and modern in nature, Mark VII combines mandarin, neroli, nasturtium and jasmine layered with light patchouli to create a contemporary expression of "I don't play well with others" confidence; leaving you always ready for whatever a genius, billionaire, playboy-philanthropist might encounter along the way."

SMASH!

"Be Angry.
Very unusual and rare materials have been brought together to create a woody aquatic cologne evoking both a serene sense of timeless freedom and a single-minded, unbridled passion for life. Yuzu, bergamot and tarragon create clean, clear top notes along with unexpected accords of water lily and nutmeg. SMASH! then carries an intense woody drydown enriched with Indian sandalwood, vetiver, musk and sharp cedar. Complimentary to a full range of emotions, it wears well no matter where-at work, the lab or an evening out on the town."

Worthy

"Possess the Power.
This woody citrus cologne is a unique, meaningful combination of bergamot, frozen ginger and wheatgrass blended with a hint of fresh natural grapefruit and layered deeply with aromatic cypress. Basenotes are possessed with sensual, seductive tones of dark amber and cedarwood, protecting and enhancing a deep, dry masculine (dare we say almost God-like?) musk."

Mischief

"Made to Rule.
Possessed of Superhuman strength, Genius-level intelligence, Mystical powers, Telepathy, Flight, Clairvoyance, Therianthropy, and Teleportation... who could blame you for becoming the greatest trickster of them all? So wear your crown of baleful maleficence with pride; let mirth and mayhem stand ready at your side, anticipating your every command. Test their mettle knowing you have nothing to fear; you are Mischief and you were made to rule."

The SMASH! description just kills me. HULK REEK!!!

[Darth Geek]

Hmmm...no Hawkeye or Black Widow fragrance? Gee, it's almost like NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THEM.

[ScottotD]

...or that they haven't had their own movies

[D.B. Barnes]

I give a shit about Black Widow. She's my favorite Avenger!



You got a problem with that?

"Widow, I know you're not going to believe this, but I think I'm gay... but I want to make sure so if you'll take off your clothes I can know for sure."

[Jito463]

They have eight characters and eight letters in AVENGERS, and they can't figure this out?

Pretty sure those are eight separate posters. It wouldn't make much sense to have a poster of Chris Hemsworth inside the letter "N", would it?

I think they would get into trouble if they had Sam Jackson as the N.

I'm so glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that.  It would have ended up all over my computer and my keyboard.  I think I laughed for a solid minute straight before I regained my composure.

I don't think I want to smell like the Hulk.

I don't think I want to smell like the Hulk.

I can't post it because I'm at work, but it makes me think of the In Living Color skit about Jim Carrey's character Vera DeMilo's perfume that smelled like a sweaty guy.

Pants-tighteningly awesome

[Darth Geek]

I just hope they do a good enough job setting up the Scrulls, since they have to set of the establishment of the Avengers, Captain America's coming to grips with modern day, Hawkeye, and hopefully some more about Black Widow.

[Prince of Space 5049]

I forgot, who's gonna play the Hulk/Banner in this one?
