    Yeah, I imagine the Avengers vs X-men comics are doing very well right now too. Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (cartoon) has very campy dialogue (it's meant for kids), but the action is some of the best I've seen in a cartoon. Generally cool stories and what not as well. It's on the 5th episode of season 2 I believe (first season is free on Netflix).

    Yea I think Aquaman can work with a balance of land and underwater scenes. Will cost a pretty penny.


    My mistake on the comment on a Green Lantern reboot. I meant to do away with Ryan Reynolds (ugh) "light hardheartedness" of the first Green Lantern.

    Coulsen isn't coming back.

    How else would you explain Stark getting all choked up? I don't think he could fake it if he knew Coulsen was in Portland taking a break.

    He wouldn't have known. This would have been between Coulson and Fury; like the cards between Fury and Hill (Fury is a master manipulator).

    8.5/10

    Cheesy dialogue /one-liners really bothered me.

    Fixed for you. :p

    Not sure how you can tell somebody to not be offended just because it doesn't offend you.

    I didn't tell you not to be offended, go ahead and show me where I said that:confused:
    I have every right to think people are oversensitive and express that feeling. When he makes a joke about Loki being adopted, and people are like "oh that's mean", it's too much to me.

    I adopted my oldest son, and my older brother is adopted. You would never joke about it in real life about them.

    It is just a joke, and they shouldn't need to apologize. If your 100% PC, you're not going to be as entertaining. It is just a movie. If they go back and remove the line in the DVD, then that is taking it too far.

    That's awesome that you adopted. What is offensive about the joke though? Maybe I'm missing something.

    Thor was trying to protect his brother while everyone talked down on him and criticized him. When he's told he has killed 80 people he tells them that although they are brothers they aren't biological brothers as to deflect blame from the Asgardians because Loki's people are actually villains which would explain his behavior. Thats how I saw it, nothing offensive.

    I bet Nick Fury got more time than Hawkeye or very close to it. Am I the only one who feels this way? Everyone else seems fine with Fury getting so much undeserved screen time. Now if he was a martial arts bad ass, that would be understandable, but after hearing that Sam L. Jackson specifically said he didn't want to run in the movie... I would have given him 3-5 minutes tops if I were the director.

    Exactly. What if he had said 'He's the middle child', would the Coalition of Middle Children be up in arms?

    The more outrage the adoption community shows and the more outrage we show at their outrage, the longer that organization gets their 15 minutes of fame, which is the reason for their fake outrage.
