...who is Johnsen to say the elves weren't perfectly happy with the current placement of the boulder.

I'm assuming it's from "The Art of the Avengers" book.

That's the one! I really need to pick up another copy of that. If I can find one with the original illustrations.

Me too. It is difficult to read "The Enormous Egg" as a child and not have that be the case for triceratops.

"Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" has completely ignored the whole "spousal abuse" thing, so I don't see why the movies couldn't do so as well.

Since the obvious answer to the headline title is, "It would be AWESOME, and the only question is, HOW awesome"... what really first struck me about this article is: why the need to be so defensive about spending time speculating? The introductory paragraphs go out of the way to call it "totally puerile" and to quote…

That's okay — the name "Chitauri" is from the more recent Ultimates line of comics, but even then, the aliens in the movie bore no resemblance to the ones from the comic, they just had the same name. The Chitauri are the Ultimates version of the Skrulls, shape-shifting infiltrators.

"Bad lie, Bruce!"

My thing about the Blue Ringed Octopi is that they are actually extremely tiny and cute and pretty, and they look exactly like the kind of octopus that you would like to interact with, but NO, try it and DEATH. That just seems intentionally mean.

For my money, the best part about this video was that when I first watched it, one of the "related" videos afterwards was a short piece about a golf course located near a river, and how, during some floods, some very large sharks got washed from the river into the golf course's artificial pond... where they are…

Yes, I'm pulling for Ultron, too. I think that would work great, if they can figure out a way to set it up, given the way the ball's been dropped on the Pyms. (I'm not a purist, I don't need it to work the way it exactly worked in the comics or the recent cartoon show, and I don't even need Hank and Janet on the…

"I don't think Marvel has many GREAT villains to pull from ..."

Well, I couldn't help but notice that they hung the "LMD" gun on the wall early on (Tony's reply to Coulson on the phone), and then never did anything else with it. Could have been just an in-joke for fans, but... hmm.

Except, by all reports, that's exactly what is happening. It's definitely not on any of the existing international prints. It's definitely on the North American prints. Whether it will be added to the international prints after tomorrow, who knows.

Yeah, I felt like Zep hit the list a bit low... but then I got to the Holst listing and forgave them everything.

Indeed, I know better. ;-)

Haven't seen 'em yet. I'd have to assume that the animated Ultimates aren't quite as ADULT, though?

I think "Velvet Belly Lantern Shark" may win for "best shark name ever".

I didn't write my post for the "extremely confused", though; I wrote it to address the writer of the piece, who seems more knowledgeable, and my point is — telling folks to get background for this movie by reading The Ultimates is only going to confuse them MORE.

I agree, it was really interesting stuff for the comics to do. But I just don't see them taking a chance on making one of the film heroes THAT incredibly unlikeable. Just like they skirted/adapted the hell out of "Demon in a Bottle".
