In a very clever mashup of art and geek culture, Ann Marcellino has put together the anime Sailor Moon with the comicbook Avengers. Okay; perhaps the movie Avengers – but the results are still surprisingly good. Do check out Ann’s tumblr for more examples of talent. Sailor America Sailor Thor Sailor Hulk Sailor Black Widow […]
The Avengers (kinda)
The Avengers is not yet out here in the UK. Heck – they’re even going to rename our version of the movie to The Avengers Assembled just in case we confuse Thor for Mr Steed and Black Widow for Mrs Peel. What shall we do in the meantime? Why not watch this budget version of […]
Did LEGO leak an Avengers spoiler? [spoilers]
This post contains speculation and spoilers. If you’re trying to avoid either of those then skip to the next article. In the Captain America movie Hydra and the Red Skull are trying to use a device known as the tesseract with weapons of mass destruction. It has been suggested that the tesseract is a cosmic […]
Avengers trailer: We have a Hulk
This is my favourite trailer for the Avengers yet. We see both Nick Fury and Tony Stark talking to Loki. Stark oozes his usual bullish charm. He runs through the Avengers – two master assassins (an interesting way, I think, to refer to Hawkeye and to admit on Black Widow), a super solider and a […]
Hulk stars in the 4th Avengers trailer
This is a two minute plus trailer for The Avengers. What’s rare about this trailer is that it doesn’t just feature Hulk but it’s got the Hulk in some pretty impressive scenes. I had thought, without spoilers, Black Widow’s tactic might have been to get the Hulk to chase her and then run in the […]
Who fights who? The Avengers Vs X-Men match ups
Marvel announced a series of Avengers Vs X-Men titles. There’s a webpage up over at Marvel.com/AvX that’s worth checking out if you’re a fan. I want to know who will fight whom. After all – are they realling going to put Iron Man up against Magneto? It looks like Marvel have been scattering exclusives of […]
How good is The Avengers trailer?
It’s out. It’s out. I’m this excited – and it’s only the trailer. What are your first impressions? I like that we don’t see too much fighting. I suspect Iron Man will get a host of good lines. Loki’s clearly up to mischief. If Joss Whedon has a mega-hit with this… what does that mean […]
Captain America: The First Avenger trailer
We’ve had clips and sneaky stills smuggled from teasers for the Captain America: The First Avenger movie for a while now. We’ve not had a full trailer. Until now. Got to say; the computer wizard who “de-buffs” Chris Evans is very good at their job. I wonder how much of the movie will focus on […]
Thor Super Bowl trailer
The Super Bowl was a good one for movie trailers. It always is. One of the movies that featured was Thor. I have mixed feelings about this movie. I want to be good but for some reason it’s generating a nagging concern that I can’t seem to shrug off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTTGL-OxzGY What do you think? Compare […]
The Avengers: Will it be Avengers versus Avengers?
There’s always a good backstory to the creation of a superteam. There’s conflict – typically a misunderstanding – but then everything comes together nicely. When we’re talking about the creation of the Avengers we also have to consider the role of The Hulk. Will he be a hero from the outset or an anti-hero? It’s […]
