Avengers Footage

[spydermann93]

Well, the Hulk is CGI, so this is the first time they really have enough of that done to actually show.  Same with the spacecraft or whatever they are.

I'm just hoping the army is indeed the Skrull.

Found this exerpt from Empire Magazine via CraveOnline.

"Who said they were aliens?" he teases. Beings from the Nine Realms, then, ventures Empire? "Closer...It's not Skrulls, I've been clear about that. Beyond that, we want to hide it. The identity of the alien race is not impactful. It exists in the comic books, but we're not setting up the Kree-Skrull war or anything like that."

They look more like the Badoon race to me.

I'm just as happy it's not the skrulls personally. The Kree Skrull war is a massive, complex story, and Avengers has enough on its plate without having to begin work on that arc. I don't think it'll be Norse either... the quote says "Closer" when the norse stuff is brought up, which says to me that it might be more accurate than Skrulls, but not that it's what they're doing.

I feel like it'll be something more simplistic... a race or an army (I wouldn't rule out AIM/HYDRA personally) that fans have seen before, but that is relatively one note and can be forgotten if necessary.

[catwhowalksbyhimself]

I suppose Hydra is possible given it's already been introduced and has been connected to Loki would make sense.

[UnkoMan]

They look more like the Badoon race to me.

Wow... I've been seeing these rumours of a Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

If true, the Badoon would be the perfect race.

Oh, and the Guardians also teamed up with Thor before. And Vance Astro has Captain America's shield.

[BentonGrey]

Well, I'd love to see the Skrulls show up as the villains, but the Badoon would work for me too.  Whatever happens, they could be explained as a race that has connections to the Asgardians given the gods-are-aliens thing from Thor.  That'd be fine by me.  Either way, the trailer looked great, and I continue to grow more and more excited about this movie!

:EDIT: I just watched the trailer again...and it is even more awesome!  Cap looks like himself, which is fantastic.  I mean, the scene where he's got his helmet on in the street....that looks just like Captain America.  That's really great.  The scene after the "We have a Hulk" line is also amazing.  I love that he's jumping up to smash aliens, but one of them just crashes right into him and he barely notices.  This all seems just about right.

There's a Guardians of the Galaxy movie?

Well, isn't that a coincidence?

hey benton...do you have a link to that footage?

[BentonGrey]

Sure HD, here you go:

I was rewatching the trailer, and noticed at :31 a very brief shot of the aliens attacking that I hadn't seen before.  It's hard to make them out, but they would seem to be consistent with the badoon.

[UnkoMan]

I really was wondering about that proposed Guardians movie. It just didn't seem like a franchise that warranted enough attention for a movie. The Rocket Raccoon era team is pretty awesome, but the originals I always found them super ridiculous looking and kind of lame (granted, I didn't know THAT much about them). So Badoon makes sense...

Or! Looking at them again they look insectoid to me. Possibly a negative zone army? Where exactly did Loki get shunted to, eh? Just throwing it out there.

[cripp12]

That's funny to this day I always say when are the bringing back the original guardians.  I just finished reading the whole series again.  Comon a raccoon and a dog and a stick.  That's ridiculous.

Annihilus attacks?

Sounds good to me

-found this awhile back. best we're gonna get for the moment.

[Tawodi Osdi]

I finally got around to watching both Thor and Captain America.  I think both characters work though the Captain America thrust him too quickly into the role of hero.  I would have preferred a little more build up, but I understand they needed to make him legendary much quickly than was necessary for Thor and the fist Iron Man movie.  I still haven't seen the Incredible Hulk, but if the writing remains consistent with Captain America, Thor, and the Iron Man movies, I think this will prove to be a really good movie.

[XStream]

Incredible Hulk is as good as all the rest. I think it may be one of my favorites and I have never been a Hulk reader.

[BentonGrey]

Yeah, IH is pretty great.  It is definitely of a comparable quality with the rest.

[Talavar]

A new Avengers trailer is up, all over the interwebs, and I like this one quite a bit.  We see hints of the team's story arc, going from distrust and outright antagonism to working together as a team - I particularly like the shot of...

Spoiler

Hulk leaping to catch Iron Man

[JeyNyce]

That seems to be everybody's favorite part 

[BentonGrey]

It's here, for those that are curious:

AWESOME!  I continue to be very excited about this....although, having to wait until May might just kill me. 

Yeah, I think this one gives us a lot better idea of what's happening.

[Tomato]

Marvel, I see your awesome trailer... and raise you one awesome pony adaption

AWESOME!

I'll be curious to know (WARNING: spoiler for those who have not seen Thor ahead)

Spoiler

how Thor was able to reach Midgård once again, given that Bifröst was smashed to bits toward the end of Thor. (I must add that this was probably the most ridiculous event in that film, given that the bridge's destruction is not meant to occur until Ragnarök.)

Phantom Bunburyist and Whirled Braker

[Talavar]

In the film Thor however, the legends are just humanity's stories based on the real thing (other-dimensional Asgard) not the literal truth - Bifrost and what happens to it is just one of a host of mythological errors between the film and the actual myths (and the comics themselves aren't any better in this regard).

[JeyNyce]

I have to start watch MLP again.  I didn't know there were so much action in it.

That is all.

[Tomato]

Tomato approves of that shirt.

[Previsionary]

aliens?

[captmorgan72]

I think its almost certain the aliens are Badoon.

[style]

The aliens that Loki recruits are from Beta Ray Bill's race of aliens!!! Look at the new TV trailer and it makes the most sense!

[Tomato]

As style points out, rumor has it that the aliens might well be the Korbinites, of Beta Ray Bill lore. I have no idea how accurate the armor and stuff is, but based on This shot I'd say they look pretty darn close to Beta Ray Bill's general facial structure.

[captmorgan72]

Nice. It sure looks like they are Korbinites.
