IDK. Avengers is stuggling now. The hype has been overshadowed. 2012 is a bad year for everyone else who believe they have a chance.

Lots of good comics(I hope)are coming out the next couple months.


@nuck82 they should have put Maria Hill on there rather then Loki.

@Marvel: I thought the same thing, but as long as it doesnt "spoil" the progress of the movie, I might check it out.

"look at the username, nuff said."

LOL. Oh boy. SMH.

@TheGothamLegend: Are you only saying that because of that leaked TDKR prologue? I hope not. LOL

I hope this actually supports the story and isn't just a money grab.

@nuck - Haven't you heard the theory? Loki is going to end up helping the avengers against Thanos.

Jesus does Cap's costume look goofy as hell next to the other Avengers...I didn't know America's flag was colored Red White and Teal! Big fail with his look. Still holding out hope that this movie will be good.

"The movie event of 2012 = The Dark Knight Rises (Period).

And how you figure that?

IllWill:
"MARVELS VERSION OF IMAX & A PROLOGUE lmao ....PATHETIC.... LIKE SPIDEY :)"

Pathetic like an unattractive Catwoman, Bane's sex slave mask, and bobble-head Batman? Lol.

From set pics and a poster than only shows a portion of his suit? the same thing was said about Cap's costume from CA:TFA and it turned out perfect in the movie.

Is that what you say to the people that shit on the way Bane looks?

And the only cool thing about Cap's outfit in TFA was the helmet and shield. The rest of the suit looked dumb too.

It's still possible to enjoy the movie despite what a character looks like, true, but Cap's look is almost the opposite of what they should've done.

Whats wrong with Cap's suit from CA:TFA and Avengers?
I guess its all about personal opinion I guess. But I thought Cap's suit from his movie fit the timeline as it was more of a parashooter outfit, not a superhero suit.

But Bane's mask................SMH. It wouldve looked better if they had more of his head covered.

"over hyped, lame ass prologue shit here. Even the Ghost Rider trailer was better than that shit."

You're one of.....one person who had that same opinion. You have a right to your opinion just as a lot of people (including me) have the right to think it's incredibly wrong.
