Isn't that the Negative Zone? I'm fairly certain it works like however Marvel wants it to work. Sort of like the Power Cosmic. Stupid review judging it as a movie outside the bounds of comic book conventions.

Comics are silly, convoluted, and prefer form over function:

1. Thor and Iron Man are required to have pissing contests.
2. Sunglasses and eye patches make people without super powers look badass.
3. Banner on a motorcycle is a good juxtaposition against his Hulky-jump-through-the-air travel form.
4. Loki is a conceited god so the Iron Man delay works -- didn't this reviewer. already assess that Loki was there to convert and not kill?
5. Of course CAPTAIN AMERICA just jumped from a plane. Idiot.
6. Did he just judge the movie according the Captain America's silly costume? Idiot.
7. No lap dance? He wants to watch the Russian dude give Black Widow a lap dance? I'm confused.
8. Bad guys running laps happens in... most action films with bad guys that need to fill in some time and guide direction visually. Reeeaaaally dumb criticism.
9. Plasma screens? You'd prefer to see a cell phone and then a split screen with 4 other people on cell phones? WTF
10. Loki's scepter is also a space phone??? My phone is also a camera, GPS, medical adviser, blogging tool, gaming device, and if I could download an app that performed mind control, I would. Loki is a god so he can.
11. The hellicarrier was created by Jack Kirby. Fuck you, this is an Avengers movie.
12. Sweeping cameras may sound silly, but comic book logic dictates that this is fine. Why not?
13. His criticism of little girls being able to find Bruce Banner is a criticism of our emotional attachment to the Gavroche, not the Avengers. Is the mystique of a street smart urchin gone from our collective unconscious?
14. Hawkeye's virus arrow is perfectly executed and makes sense according to his abilities.
15. Thor being easily tricked by Loki using low brow tactics is true even in Norse mythology. What exactly are we critiquing here?
16. Loki's objective in being captured is partly him being an overly confidant asshole god. He's just sort of going around half cocked because he can and likes to do so. The gods aren't smarter than us, just more powerful and with magical abilities that trump technology. In fact, this means they don't need to try as hard and would definitely be candidates in the personality disorder department. Hell, for all we know they could suffer from intellectual disorders that would never have become an issue (aside from making them stupidly violent) considering their power.
17. Hawkeye versus Black Widow is not cool? Damn.
18. Fury also gave an intimidating death stare in Jurassic Park when Nedry's "Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word" security screen pops up. HOLD ONTO YOUR BUTTS. I liked the half reference.
19. If you have trouble understanding the powers of Mjölnir, why do you also complain about the plodding exposition?! These things require exposition and it's so arbitrary that it becomes plodding. Comics are FILLED with plodding exposition because of this and there's a point where you just have to know the characters. Do they explain superman's laser eyes in the movies? Actually... do they?
20. Black Widow is a weapons expert, including theoretical weaponry.
21. In the comics Hulk learns to control his powers and can even be intellectual in said form.
22. The alien invasion would do more damage than a nuclear bomb. These villains enslave entire worlds.
23. The ending requires homework??? THE ENTIRE SERIES OF MOVIES REQUIRES HOMEWORK.


That being said, I agree with a good number of the points:

1. The tesseract was a rebranding of the Cosmic Cube which has a long history in the Marvel universe. (So I guess this movie was made for comic book fans?)
2. Well lit facility. There should have been some sort of cloaking shield around it, which is perfectly acceptable in a comic book world, if not the real.
3. Cap's bet. I don't believe Cap would have done that because it isn't just.
4. Speaking in English to Germans. It would have been cool to hear him speak in German. Damn!
5. Hawkeye's arrow fucking up the hellicarrier. However, I could see this happening in a comic book, I just don't like it.
6. Captain America's ear piece and bad aim.
7. Tesseract mind control wearing off after blunt trauma.
8. Cap's super powers are kinda lame in these movies, but I'm sure if they weren't, then this review would contain criticism about how his human fists can smash through metal.
9. The aliens are a pretty shitty replacement for the Skrulls. This is what makes me the saddest.
10. Imiatating transformers... this bugged the crap out of me when I first saw the trailer. UGH!
11. Thor's lightning must have a long cooldown.
12. Yeah, it was pretty lame when the aliens died after they were cut off from the mother ship. Inferior to the Skrulls fo sho.

Not really sure Cenk is bad journalism. I see it as reactionary, not as much so as Fox but still reactionary. I see them doing their homework though.

Is pulp fiction less appealing because we never get a reveal on whats in the case? Who really cares what the tessaract is? We know its a source of power what more do you need? And homework.....really? If you don't know Thanos on sight then you don't know ANY Marvel villain and it wouldn't matter who was at the end.

The technology for firearms exist, they will always exist now. If someone truly was willing and dedicated to kill people with a gun, they will. You can make a gun with the right materials, though obviously not the same craftsmanship as a manufacturer.

I can totally see how banning guns can save lives: If a parent, or roommate, etc, owned a gun, and someone who knew that completely legal gun was able to be reached and used to kill innocent people. Then yes, banning guns would have stopped that. But if they are, then there's a small line that guy needs to cross: to reach out to whoever to find an illegal weapon.

I for one believe they should be legal, and I also believe that if someone wants to own one, they do their damned homework and train in the ways of a gun, that would save more lives than anything else. Reckless use of a gun is stupid and deadly to the gun owner him(her)self. Would be like a knife wielding junkie going against a samurai, if you do not know how to handle a gun, or handle being under pressure, you are the junkie.

LIghts like these are critical to getting countries back up on their feet. Schools a few and far between. Education is hard to come by. Many of the kids will travel large distances every day to school and back. When they get home, they can't do any homework because they have no light. These kids want to learn, but they lack the tools to do so. Being able to do homework, or even just read books can make a huge difference.

I don't think this is naive, it's a genuinely good idea that could really make a difference. I wish them the best of luck.

I'm sure you're all far more stunned than I am.

Who would have ever believed a drifter from the wrong side of the tracks, with a penchant for mischief and nonconformity, would someday be crowned. Only in Siftopia may the lowest-of-low rise to such majesty.

But I couldn't have done it without all of you. And for that, I'm much obliged! Thanks, for watching my videos and begrudgingly upvoting 2/3 of them.

But seriously, special thanks to my friends: kulpims, geo, alco, enoch, kronos, choggie and blankfist (don't they have a reality show by now?), usesprozac, evildisco, lurgee (thanks, for the push), rasch, swarmy, marinegunrock (yeah, you! you big glug), bareboards, dag, chingelera, chichorea, Nicolebee (kicked my ass in Civ), pumkin, mint and netrunner (take me off block, dude), gwizz and lann, selter, lucky, rottenseed, gorilla, eric, playhouse, death kitty, laura, peggedbea (you're one of the best), and all the others (I've overlooked a lot of good ones, but I should be doing homework right now -- I'll promote your videos while you sleep, precious forgotten) wonderful folk who stomp the shores of Videosift.

And thank you, for not kicking me out that one time. Let this be a lesson to weigh dooming judgements when the waters are muddied by anger.

And to all the haters ... a motherfucking crown, mofos!!!

Now that I've finally earned the right to deflower every maiden on her wedding night, I'm starting to warm up to this place.

Now guzzle your drinks, and salute your favorite things!

That poor cop. Caught between a young kid that won't give him a word in edgewise and a old fuck that uses Scientology tactics of intimidation. Kudos to Officer Stan for responsibly handling the situation, although I would have liked him to have pressed the PR guy on showing him documentation that they needed a one million dollar insurance bond in order to film. At least the kids had done their homework and had documentation stating that they could indeed film at a TSA checkpoint.

Not one of those things fucking matter. How about something that matters you coward? How about "Mitt never supported a Genocide by providing weapons to the perpetrators" or "Mitt never imposed sanctions killing at least 500,000 children and strengthening a dictator who used that power to harm his people even more."

It doesn't matter that Chinese missiles can now accurately target American cities, where before they were pieces of crap? It doesn't matter that a former president is a sociopath who treats women like chattel and dishonors his marriage? Don't worry, there's enough clinton filth to cover everything, including "anarchist" millionaire Chomsky's talking points.

Seriously I'm gonna start telling you this more and more, Do Your Fucking Homework. Because you don't know shit about history, you don't know shit about how the World Works, and you're completely blind to actually learning anything NEW.

The world has been in turmoil for thousands of years before Christ, and the absence of the United States would change very little in the affairs of tyrants and kings in other lands.

clinton's a dishonorable piece of shit. Case. Fucking. Closed.

Mitt never let our national security get so lax the red chinese swooped in and stole our missile guidance tech. Mitt didn't built bureaucratic walls between law enforcement agencies to hide his own crimes. Mitt didn't lie under oath, which for you and me would mean serious prison time. Mitt never cheated on his wife. Mitt was never disbarred and disgraced. Mitt didn't tell subordinate women, "Suck this or lose your job", and if Mitt did any of these things, he sure wouldn't have in-the-tank, subservient media shills covering his ass like they did this clown.

If the Market didn't like Obama, why does it support him soo much monetarily? You need to do your homework man, it's the Rich against guys like us, join the proper side.

Spain is in serious trouble because it spends too much money, money it does not have. The Spaniards are rioting over ginormous tax HIKES, which is what American taxocrats continue to demand at every turn.
Obama has already brought market chaos and uncertainty. However you want to polish his crown jewel, the turd known as Obamacare, the results are/will be huge tax hikes, reduction in services, continuing skyrocketing medical costs, and STILL, by their own admission, 30 million without health insurance.
Even if reelected, Obama is a fool and will be forgotten as a symptom of a larger malaise that began a century ago.
At this point, no president is capable of stopping out-of-control government spending. President Romney will only buy us a little more time before imminent revolution; it won't be an MTV version of revolution either, with underwear models with little smudges of black on their multiculural cheeks beating back government stormtroopers with the force of love. It's going to be blood up and over your knees, cities leveled, hell on earth.
Hey, sometimes it's necessary.

Agreed, this sounds like some college kid's English 101 homework, where the assignment is to provide an outline for a bad Stephen King spoof.>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

I think I'll pass...rusty metal and standing water just isn't a good combination.

We used to not care about that kinda stuff. But then again my dads friend drowned while swimming in the old quarry...so who knows who's right?

I know...my friends and I didn't either. And there aren't as many of us as there used to be. In several cases, there's a direct causal relationship in that statement, too. It's only taken us 40-50 years to realize that we are indeed mortal.


I think it's sad...I recently bought a motorcycle and upon doing my homework I discovered that most fatalities now occur because of chest and spine trauma, not head trauma because of helmets. So I asked for my birthday to get a vest full of pads over the chest and stomach and a large back plate like a turtle shell. I bought this old motorcycle because I remember my dads old motorcycle, which I rode around with him at the age of 4 with no helmet at all. It's crazy to think about.
