Aaaaaggghh!! The Avengers is tonight!!
Today’s the day! Tonight’s the night! The Avengers debuts in the United States at midnight tonight! I have my ticket, I have my Captain America T-shirt and I have my bag of candy that I’m going to proudly sneak into the theater! Man, oh man, am I ever excited. I just…aaagh! I can’t contain this excitement! So I think instead I’ll celebrate this excitement with another Avengers commercial that blows my fragile little mind!
Why isn’t it Midnight yet!!
All the Last Avengers Parody Videos
The past few weeks have been rich with Avengers parody videos online. Seeing as how the movie debuts tonight (squee!) I don’t want to be posting too many more of these. But I found these two just today, so I thought I’d share. Because no doubt everyone else in the world is just as excited as I am to see the Avengers tonight!
First is a music video parody by the Screen Team.
And then a pretty funny video about the ‘Official’ Avengers video game!
Review: Avengers vs. X-Men #3
Now that the big brawl is over, it seems like the real fun is going to begin. I really enjoyed this issue of Avengers vs. X-Men, as the story moves from the rather sudden, impromptu fight of last issue to some downtime that raises the pacing of the series even higher. I’m glad that this series isn’t just going to be a big brawl to end it all, because that would have become real boring real fast. Instead it seems there’s going to be more to Avengers vs. X-Men than just fight scenes. This issue contains strong dialogue, some excellent character moments and what I consider to be a real exciting shift forward.

And with Captain America’s actions this issue, I’m confident that siding with the X-Men is the right call. Cap kind of crosses a few lines here. He almost seems out of character.
Comic rating: 4/5: Good!
This issue starts with some great dialogue between Captain America and Iron Man as they try to assess the consequences of their actions. I really liked how it felt, especially coming from Iron Man. Then the X-Men pull a fantastic twist, and the story jumps into a whole new gear. This series is 12 issues long and now I have no idea what to expect. Avengers vs. X-Men is definitely keeping my attention, though the issue doesn’t end as strongly as it started. Still, I like what I’m seeing. The story is told very clearly, the events are ramping up and getting more exciting and I don’t feel lost when it comes to the central conflict. This event feels as important as it should feel.
Even though some of the individual players are a little off, it still makes sense for these two heroic teams to come to blows. And best yet: I don’t have any complaints about the art this issue! So we’re looking at another solid chapter of Avengers vs. X-Men. Nothing to blow me out of the water with excitement yet, but maybe we’re getting there.
6 Avengers That I Absolutely Want to See in Future Movies
Anyone who has read my blog over the past few weeks has seen an abundance of Avengers coverage. Because I am absolutely off the wall with excitement for this movie. I’ve got my ticket for midnight Thursday, and I may even see it at least once more this weekend. I have been waiting for a movie like this my entire life, and I have been waiting for The Avengers for 4 years. The anticipation is mind-numbing!
To celebrate the release week, I knew I wanted to do an Avengers-themed list. But since I haven’t seen the movie yet, I’ve decided to focus my list on future sequels. From the early reviews and the few spoilers I’ve read, I know that The Avengers is not filled with tons of character cameos and Easter Eggs to comics fans. Though you should definitely stay and see the after-credits teaser. So I thought a good idea for a list would be ‘6 Things I Want to See in the Sequel’, but then I realized that the list would just be different comic book characters that I want to show up…so I’m just going to write that list!
Or you can check out an earlier list I wrote about 6 Avengers Who Won’t Be in The Movie. Either way, click the jump for 6 Avengers that I want to see in future sequels.
You Won’t Like Him When He’s Drunk
Yet another day, yet another Avengers parody trailer. This one modeled after The Hangover, made by the guys and gals at Slick Gigolo! It’s pretty funny, I highly recommend watching, enjoying and perhaps even laughing.
