The Avengers thread(may contain spoilers)

Just caught APGIL's Damage Control suggestion.  MAKE THIS HAPPEN!  Plus it would be a fun way to get lesser characters who would never get their own movies to show up.  Oh, can She-Hulk be their legal consultant?  Oh, Oh, and have Rick Jones as the lead!  Poor guy got kicked out of the Hulk movies, so he needs his own series.  And a HAM radio!

There is nothing to not like in the above post.

[Pak-Man]

Heck. Just give me a She-Hulk TV series and base it on Dan Slott's run. One legal battle after another. You still get to meet lots of obscure Marvel characters, and the courtroom setting means you don't have to blow the effects budget on battles every week. (Though there would be battles...)

[Tripe]

A combo of both of those ideas would be good, The Damage Control-She Hulk Metafictional Fun Hour.

Or Clean Up & Order.

And it'd be so easy to expand the universe without breaking copyrights.  Example: have some workers grousing about having to clean up webs around the Flatiron District.  Or so many power outages and freak snowstorms in the middle of summer up in Westchester, NY.  Don't have to show anything or go into too much detail.

Who's this show through again, I could see about pitching the damn thing.

"The Walt Disney Studios has announced a release date for Marvel Studios' sequel to the biggest Super Hero blockbuster and third highest grossing film of all time, Marvel's The Avengers. Joss Whedon returns to write and direct the UNTITLED MARVEL'S AVENGERS SEQUEL set for release May 1, 2015."

THREE YEARS?!?!?!

[Tripe]

Aren't there going to be individual movies between now and the next team one, Thor 2 I know but I thought another Iron Man and one for Widow as well.

I know a fair number of girls would like a Loki stand alone too....

Iron Man and Thor in 2013.  Spring and Thanksgiving, I think.  Captain America and Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014.  Spring and summer maybe.  Ant Man doesn't have a release date.

[ScottotD]

I kind of hope they don't try and explain away why the Avengers aren't there during battles in the solo movies, although I assume the Eberts of the world will be all about it in an attempt at humour.

Iron Man 3 - May 3, 2013
Thor: The Dark World - November 8, 2013
Captain America: The Winter Soldier - April 4, 2014
Guardians of the Galaxy - August 1, 2014
Avengers sequel - May 1, 2015

The individual movies are likely to be much 'smaller scale', and so the lack of other Avengers won't be unusual ('Dark World' sounds like it's not on Earth; 'Winter Soldier' is [spoilered for plot point for those who don't read or know about the comics]
the return of the assumed-dead Bucky Barnes
and, likely, Guardians of the Galaxy will also probably have nothing to do with Earth).

Apparently the Avengers opens in Japan soon and the movie's tagline is literally "Hey Japan, this is a movie."

I guess it has offended some people over there because it seems to be telling Japan that they don't know how to make movies or something.

You can read a lot more, including some reactions from some Japanese writers here:

I think Trey Parker and Matt Stone already gave us a Thanksgiving-timed Thor story.

So, finally took a pic of Ann in her Loki Charms shirt:

That's a happy girl right there.
