I couldn't be more excited (unless Spidey was in it too)...
I imagine you all know that I am among the dweebiest of nerds. Especially when it comes to comic books (you only have to look at the background of most of my vids). I guess that you are also aware of the fact that The Avengers movie is coming out next month.
This is a MASSIVE deal.
Just incase you are not as excited about the prospect of this film as I am. I'm going to wet your apatite with a very quick bio of each character.
TONY STARK/IRON MAN
Billionaire, playboy, eccentric, genius, former douchebag. And that's before he dons his suit! He can fly, he's super strong and he can fire repulsers from the palm of his hands (as well as missiles from his writs and bullets from his shoulders etc etc etc). All of this is powered by a mini Arc Generator (that only Tony Stark knows how to build) which also serves the purpose of preventing shrapnel lodged in his chest from piercing his heart.
BRUCE BANNER/THE INCREDIBLE HULK
If there is one thing we can learn from Bruce Banner, it's that playing with gamma radiation is really really cool! Or that you shouldn't make him angry. Some people get aggressive when we're emotions run high... Bruce Banner goes green and gets massive. Then, he throws his toys out of the pram and tends to go on a destructive rampage, the likes of which would make Godzilla jealous (but all for a good cause).
STEVE ROGERS/CAPTAIN AMERICA
It's what's on the inside that counts. Of course being an experimentally enhance super-soldier won't do any harm either. Picked for his valour, his strength and stamina now match courage. Also, his shield is made of a lightweight, uber-metal called vibranium... when Captain America is angry with you, the chances are that he'll throw this at you, it'll ricochet of your head and return to his hand.
THOR, GOD OF THUNDER
Not my favourite comic book, but one of my favourite super-hero films. Thor is known to the Humans as the God of Thunder (to the people of Asgard, he is just Thor... although, he is a prince). He holds a hammer with immense power called Mjolnir that allows him to control lightning and do cool things like bash the ground and create destructive ripples and send baddies flying.
NATASHA ROMANOFF/BLACK WIDOW
With no super-powers (unless you count the ability to squeeze into a skin tight leather cat suit), Black Widow has become one of the worlds greatest spies and most deadly assassins. She can use pretty much any weapon and kick your ass in myriad ways!
NICK FURY
What he lacks in depth perception (due to only having one eye) he more than makes up for with just being a Badass. He is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D which basically means he knows everything. So when then world is in danger, he is the man who can make the Avengers Assemble!
I do have a two concerns about this film though:
Firstly, I just wish they had included Spider-man somewhere... It could have been a great intro for the new 'amazing' Spidey (played by Andrew Garfield)
Also, I'm a little worried that with all of these super-heros in one movie, it's going to be very difficult to get much of a story in. Most of the characters have at least one film of their own, so t'll be interesting to see how the developers have overcome the issue.
I hope I've got you a little excited about it now. If not, just check out the trailer below:
