With all the anticipation surrounding
The Avengers and who should direct it, I thought I would throw my two cents in.
There are many directors out there that could probably kick out an epic movie with the characters involved but I think one stands above the rest. This is due to the fact that he has already directed a very similar movie with just as much (maybe more) history and weight attached to it as
The Avengers. Not only did this director please the hard core, decades old fan base with a movie that people said shouldn't be done, but he blew their minds with this movie and gained new fans in the process.
First let's take a look at
The Avengers and what makes them special.
1.The Avengers have been around forever.
They have been a staple at
Marvel and in the fans hearts for over 40 years. They have been all over the galaxy, encountered aliens, gods, monsters and traveled through time.
Sounds similar to another franchise we all know.
2.The Avengers have many members but six stand out as the central core that holds the team together and keeps the fans interested.
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hank Pym
Janet Pym
Hawkeye
3. Of these six, three could be considered the nucleus.
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
4.This core and the nucleus within it is there because of trust and friendship. This friendship is what makes the group dynamics click within the story and what continues to draw the fans after all these years.
Again this sounds very similar to another franchise we are all familiar with.
Now revisit points 1-4 and everywhere it saysThe Avengers replace it with..... Star Trek.
For point #2 replace....
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
Hank Pym
Janet Pym
Hawkeye
with...
James T. Kirk
Spock
Dr. McCoy (Bones)
Scotty
Uhura
Sulu
For point #3 replace....
Captain America
Iron Man
Thor
with...
James T. Kirk
Spock
Dr. McCoy (Bones)
Star Treks followers are some of the most passionate, loyal fans of any franchise existing today and JJ Abrams left them wanting more.
I believe with the characters and action that both of these movies bring to the table it would be difficult not to want Abrams in the directors chair for
The Avengers.
There are too many similarities to be ignored.
JJ Abrams is by far, the best choice to direct The Avengers!!!
