Today was the day: the second full-length Avengers trailer hit the web. Boy, was it worth the wait. Some thoughts:
- I like that most of the major characters got equal screentime. The quick intros to each major member of the team were really well done. I do wish we got a little more than just a few glimpses of Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye...not even one line of dialogue for him? Really?
- You can never have too much Loki. Seeing that he'll be the clear villain in this film is crazy exciting on all kinds of levels.
-Obviously Tony Stark/Iron Man is getting put front and center here and in other places in Marvel's advertising, a move that I don't totally love, but do understand. From a marketing and advertising standpoint, his character is the most well-known to general audiences. Still, I wish the movie was being pitched more as the ensemble piece I'm sure it will turn out to be.
-I'm still on the fence about Cap's new costume. Still, I remember before Captain America came out, I wasn't really loving his costume there either, and ended up really liking it in the actual film.
- The shot where Iron Man is falling through the air and the Hulk flies up out of nowhere, grabs him, and surfs down the side of a skyscraper? MIND. BLOWN. WITH. AWESOME.
-Also, money shot at the end with the giant metal snake thing? Totally unexpected and freaking amazing. Should I know what that thing is? Or is it something totally new to everyone?
May 4th can't come fast enough.
