Im gonna watch the Avengers and i probably will like it, but enough of the TDKR talk and how it sucks, right before this movie comes out obviously everyone will talk about this movie and it will be hyped, a lot of people downed TDK when they first saw Iron Man in the theater but as soon as late july rolled around everyone STFU

Galactus I guess he doesn't ever visit CBM? Just wondering since he didn't say he liked it. BTW I understand if you can't answer that or something. Just curious. :)

@Gusto: lol. I obviously like to hear this from anyone involved in a CBM, but when it comes to the actors I never really understood what it means exactly. As you say, when you are saying your lines in the costume you were given doing what the director tells you, how exactly does "respect the fans" play into that process?

It's not like he can say "I was going to play Thor with a shaved head and a Russian accent but then I thought 'No, I must respect the fans!'

Jesus tits! Why can there not be one article where no one has to start the tdkr vs. avengers fight? Lets not kid ourselves. We will ALL see BOTH films! Id like to know why people have to draw a line in the sand. What real point is there to the whole battle?
