Will the Avengers be based on Classic or Ultimate Marvel?

Dose it really matter?? It The Avengers Movie and it's something that DC can't even grasp the concept of.

Neither, the MCU is its own separate thing that uses the best fitting bits from 70 years of source material to create the universe that works.

Also Thor really isnt the god of thunder.... he is an Alien that uses technology so mind-boggling it use we humans consider it "magic"

They learn from the mistakes of 616 and Ultimates universe.

It's a bit of an original interpretation and best of both worlds.

(like @marvel72 said)

@ Paulley
I don't care what the movies say, he's still the Thunder God to me. (Although really they never mention technology of any kind as far as I can remember in Thor.)

Yea there is a lot of "technology" in Thor. Main example being the wormhole/portal guiding thingy :P .. also the science is magic speech.

The movie clearly shown that Thor is an alien from planet Asgard. But he was considered the god of thunder by ancient people due to little knowledge of universe or maybe science.... Remember, magic is just science we don't understand yet...

In the Thor movie, Thor's hammer is forged in the heart of a dying star. The lightning - weather effects are channeled through it, in the film it gives off radiation, radiation is simply particles and energy traveling through a space - it is never revealed what kind of energy - magical? the worthiness Enchantment placed on the Hammer aswell?. Loki is a sorcerer - magic. Yes they have a greater technology regarding the Einstein Bridge - Rainbrow Bridge- Bifrost, but nothing suggests that magic doesn't exist in the film. Heimdall seeing and hearing everything etc. Being immortal is also not explained hence earthlings thought them gods nor is The Odinsleep or how Thors "power" is taken from him.
The casket of Ancient Winters? Come onto f*** people, this debate about technology is pointless.

In my defense, I know that this movie´s universe is Marvel Cinematic Universe and that it is more or less the mixt between ultimate and classic. But what I mean with this article is trying to understand which of those universes the cinematic one has more elements of.

It's hard to say which is gonna have more elements. So far a little of both. I thin' they wanted to use the Classic Heroes for obvious reasons, but they had to form the group prior to the movie, which is why they used Nick Fury to show up in other movies. And who wouldn't want Samuel L Jackson in their movie? By havin' Fury form the team, they can now get to the story and not have to explain how everyone got together, they can skip the origin and get right to the story/action.
So to answer your queston...

"Will The Avengers Be Based On Classic Or Ultimate Marvel?"

Both.... or if you like, a little of each.

I would actually argue that Thor's look in the film is also a good mix of Ultimate and 616. He doesn't really wear the helmet in combat...it takes on a more ceremonial role in the film. He also has more of a Ultimate appearance as far as his beard is concerned. Granted, 616 Thor had a beard long before the Ultimates but it was mainly during the future Earth/Asgard storyline where Thor ruled Earth. Even then it was a big bushy beard. Ultimate Thor was the one to introduce the closely trimmed beard along with the handle-bar mustache thing. Thor’s chest piece is actual armor in the film much like the Ultimates chest piece. 616 always had essentially fabric with only the discs as armor. His pants are true to the original 616 depiction but the JMS run costume replaced the fabric pants with scale mail as well. And finally the boots, they are clearly Ultimate in design.

What Thor says to Jane in the movie is that in his worlsd, technology and magic are one in the same. I don't know what kind of tech could make that hammer work, anyway, but then I'm just a lowly Midgardian. His classic origin wouldn't have gone as well in a movie, and the Ultimates version is too...greenpeace. Movie Thor is his own thing.

as i whole i see 70% ultimate and 30% 616. personally i think it should be the other way around

The movies conceptually are what the Ultimates should have been, a modernization of the marvel characters we knew.

The whole 616 v Ultimates argument is void. There really isn't two universes. There is one. The story has just been told 2 times, 3 now when you consider the MCU. The original story will always be the real story. The retelling changes and they are interesting, but the truth is the truth. I don't know if that makes sense, but I see it as there are MARVEL characters and DC characters that go beyond how the stories are told. EVERYTIME you retell the story you have a different universe. There are really a multitude of universes if you really consider all of the times they have changed their own histories. Maybe some of these characters are from the Age of Apocalypse, they just weren't shown in those books.

Any time you retell the stories the universes change. By definition this is its own Universe. I know by know you saying DUH, but I am making a point. There is no way to modernize the marvel story without it looking like the Ultimates. Because by definition, the "Modern" marvel universe is the Ultimates.

The question is really, how many times are they going to be lazy (not meant in a derogatory way) and reuse portions of the last "modernization" of the marvel universe, directly. So far, I see only a few things that blatant. Nick Fury and Hawkeye. Some plot elements have been similar to Ultimates, but they all had enough changes not to be blatant. Think of it as what could a lawyer for Ultimates sue MCU for as copywrite infringement if MCU owned only the rights to the 616 universe.

WOW. I reread that, and I cannot believe English is my first language. I guess my name is right. It was just flowing. I was typing what the voice in my head was dictating, and he was talking jiberish.

Don´t worry about the errors, everyone makes them. Lokk at mine latest comment

In short, Ultimate is used because it's easier to translate into film. Thor especially because of how the Asgardians are known to speak and whatnot.

Agreed!

KnightWriter-well let me correct myself.

take none of this as sarcasm,im sorry if ive hurt you feelings.i was just assuming that you were one of those comic book fans that are really into comics but just choose not to face the facts such as the whole ultimate 616 dilema for that i apologize i did not know your back story and what i was saying was to answer your question my own opinoin and a false statement.

i had no intention as coming off as a dickhead and had no intention for you to take it personally.
now as for the faggots at you school [and nothing against homosexuals i just like that word cause its effective]any way.....as for the faggots at your school there dick heads dont worry about them and just from steryo typing im assuming you go to an american or italian school so dont try to fit in, blend in.

if a girl laughs at you for having a comic laugh at her for being blonde or acting blonde again based on steryo typing because if you do go to an american school the majority of the girls are interested in fashion and if she slaps you call her fat.now this is probbably going to get you into trouble but say this to the soccer jocks [this is going to hrt them unless thier italian]-you guys will never make it as soccer players due to the fact your american,in your teens,have horrible hand eye co-ordination so therfore you suck and the truly great soccer players are not from america so hence that you suck.

And if they say i bet that your not any better just say i have no intrest in soccer and your attempts to make all of you look any stupider than you already do and if they try to bash you or they do...inform their coach and im pretty sure theyll be suspended and if he doesnt do anything ill come all the way over there out of australia to personally kick all of their teeth in because im a soccer and rugby player and can kick the ball really high [i would say 30 feet high but that sounds to high plus im not good with math] well that and i havent been in a fight with anyone since year seven and would enjoy trying to beat the sh-t out of kids who are probably bigger than i am

oh and everyones a nerd in thier own way soccer jocks-love soccer hence soccer nerds/geeks. fashionistas as i like to call them are interested in fashion so you get the idea

oh and be proud to be a comic book nerd im a comic book nerd probbably the one of the coolest biggest nerds youll ever meet youll ever meet and im a bit of an anti bully instead of bashing the little dudes such as you self i like bashing the bigger bullys cause it makes me feel like a comic book character on steroids

stay cool buddy !!!!
