Finally an Avengers film i would watch.

How does one do an Avengers/Wizard of Oz crossover and not make the obvious tin/iron man connection?

Eh, I don't think the Avengers have much to worry about....

That really was too painful to watch. An avenger-wannabe who's looking for a chance to prove himself is how people die. I bet his mother is proud. I hope no one goes looking for him, now that he's been on the news.

Laws about large/concealed blades vary, state by state. I know his sword would have been illegal in CA if it were sharpened. Otherwise I think they're considered ornamental decorations.

I'm not sure which is worse...the idea that he's just a total nutjob walking around with a sword pretending he's a ronin, or the thought that he might actually be well trained and proficient with it and thinks he's Kairo: the light rail avenger.

I would like to see Disney's Princess Avengers, actually.....

It's always funny when something with a long comic history comes into the mainstream and everyone debates it like it's something new that only exists because of other shows that exist in recent pop culture.

The real question is: Why are the Defenders -- who are basically Dr. Strange's "Avengers" -- comprised of the 2000s Marvel Knights minus Moonknight?

Why not Moonknight instead of Iron Fist?

It's not as simple as "punch-em-up" versus the graphic novel, artsy Alias side of Marvel. The Netflix version of The Defenders is weird and I'm just hoping they tie in Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange) and the "Matrixesque" side of Marvel with what is the "Lovecraftian" side of Marvel. The Defenders are more this dark horror magick side who fought against the Nameless One and his legions.

Careful Jan, or you'll get sued again!
Erdogan might find a fellow Avenger.

I couldn't think of any, but then the "I've got no strings on me" from the Avengers trailer came to mind... but did they ever actual use that theme in the movie? It's strange that they'll use a fairly oddball re-imagining of a Pinocchio song for a trailer and then they score the movie quite so blandly.

The only music I remember from any Marvel movie is the soundtrack from Guardians and the excellent use of NIN's "We're in this together" from the first Avengers trailer.

*quality stuff from Tony as always. Every Frame a Painting is probably my single favourite youtube channel.

Batman and Wonder Woman discuss whether they want to join the Avengers.

Fair and reasonable judge?

That. And avenging and compassionate angel.

I'm definitely not a film student (or a student of films). I'm not really savvy enough to confirm this guy's thesis about what Snyder is doing wrong.

But one part rang massively true for me -- when he talked about Avengers Age of Ultron and the farmhouse scene. Honestly, I didn't like Age of Ultron all that much, but that scene stuck out as a good one. From being a fan of Joss Whedon's TV shows, I think he is a master of making characters that we get invested in. We identify with them or see elements of friends / family / whatever in them, and that makes it much more rewarding to watch them do amazing (or even mundane) things.

That farmhouse scene in Age of Ultron was a really good example of that. And I didn't feel anything like that, at all, for any of the characters in Batman v Superman.

I don't know that Whedon's very character-centric approach is necessarily a whole lot better for creating extremely compelling storylines either, but I think it can cover a lot of blemishes in that department.

Agents of SHIELD had a somewhat weak start, though decent. Season 2 was an improvement on 1, and season 3 was excellent in my opinion. So far it doesn't connect too directly to what happens in the films, but does seem to be doing a lot of legwork to set up for one of the future movies. If you like super hero stuff in general, it's worth a watch.

Note that Legion won't have any connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (Avengers, Dr Strange, SHIELD, Daredevil, etc), as it is part of the Fox / X-Men universe instead. I've no idea if Fox will tie it to their film franchise, though I'd assume it would be pretty minimal as this appears to be set in our current era vs the films right now being a few decades back.
