New Avengers Trailer Warps My Fragile Little Mind

It’s just so beautiful. This trailer is like a glorious comet of righteous awesomeness sailing across the sky of my dreams and delivering the superhero extravaganza I have been waiting my whole life to see. Don’t take my word for it. Watch it now!

The brilliance of this trailer is astounding. There are a few odd moments, like an out of place line or two from Agent Coulson, but otherwise it’s two minutes and 30 seconds of outright geek bliss. What’s more, this is the first real trailer to feature footage of the heroes interacting. Cap and Thor, Hulk and Iron Man, Steve Rogers and Bruce Banner, Black Widow and Hawkeye; it’s fantastic! This movie is going to rise and fall on the heroes interacting, whether it be fighting, bickering or the final assembling; and this trailer is proof that it’s going to be amazing.

Look at me, I’m gushing.

Avengers Assemble — In Other Places, to be Photoshopped Later

A new Avengers movie posted was unleashed upon the world today – and it’s hideous!

Why use Photoshop if you don't know how?

I hate, hate, hate the modern trend in movie posters to just take random pictures of the characters/celebrities and then just photoshop them into a group shot. It’s ridiculous and it’s disgusting. And it never looks good. Ever. Why do they keep doing it? During all of filming, was it really that difficult to get everybody to take a group photo in costume together? Because the alternative is this piece of garbage!

None of those characters are standing in the same room (let alone on some city street), and I wouldn’t be surprised if that Iron Man picture is him with a helmet on, and they just photoshopped Robert Downey Jr.’s face over the helmet.

This is the biggest movie in years from both Marvel and freakin’ Disney, but they couldn’t hire a competent movie poster guy?

Requiem for an Ant-Man

They killed the badass Ant-Man.

No, that’s not an oxymoron.

Marvel Comics and writer Rick Remender have gone and killed Eric O’Grady, the foulmouthed, perverted lout who dared to call himself a superhero! Those bastards! Eric O’Grady was an awesome superhero! He was uniquely uncouth in a world of boy scouts and white knights. He was a sleazy douchebag who literally used his shrinking powers to spy on women in the shower. But that was an endearing quality!

Don't pretend you wouldn't do it

The O’Grady Ant-Man is going to be missed.

And his death is actually a very good example of what’s wrong with death in comic books today. Follow me for more after the jump.

So I Hit a Parked Car Today

That’s my biggest news of the day. And man did it suck! The Nissan came out of nowhere, right in my blindspot thanks to my overly frosted windows. I think there’s something wrong with my windshield because it gets frost on the inside. That’s not supposed to happen, right? But it’s impossible to completely clear up in the morning, because my heat only comes on when I’ve been driving for a few minutes. It won’t get warm if I just idle. So there I am moseying down the small alley behind my house, I can barely see out the driver’s side of my windshield, let alone the passenger side, and I go to make my turn and CRUNCH!!

How embarrassing.

Fortunately, no harm no trouble. Some plastic broke off their rear bumper, some plastic broke off my front bumper.

Oh, and my passenger side quarter panel bent so that the passenger-side door is wedged shut. Wonderful! That’s gonna need to get fixed.

On top of all of that, there’s absolutely nothing worth blogging about! No good comics to review, no good movie clips, no good comic book news. I thought about going to see the new Ghost Rider movie, but I’m not sure I could squeeze it in.

But rather than leave my blog empty, here’s a funny picture I’ve been holding onto. Laugh at it and laugh at my bad luck Someone should.

The Ultimate Avengers Trailer

I know I posted the real The Avengers trailer only a week or so ago, but then some fans at ScreenRant made this amazing extended trailer. They use footage from all the individual movies to build a larger story, then use all the footage that’s been released so far for The Avengers. This is a movie trailer on steroids, people. And it is gleeful.

Thanks to Topless Robot for the find.
