Hi, my name is Ade and this is the Super Bowl XLVI extended trailer for the upcoming Avengers movie, directed by Joss Whedon.

OH. MY. GOD.

Finally – the trailer for the much-anticipated Avengers movie is out! And it looks absolutely amazing. Don’t take my word for it, watch it yourself!

Oh god, so many awesome moments. My favorite, of course, was Steve Rogers and Tony Stark snarking at each other. Will this movie be awesome or will it be awesome?

The Avengers is directed by Joss Whedon and starring Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow, Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Cobie Smulders (HNNNGGH) as Maria Hill, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner.

And I am angrier than ever. Why are X-Fans such masochists? Even more than Teen Titans fans but slightly less than Legion fans. God damn.

I’m an on-off X-Men reader, but I haven’t kept up in the last few years. Mostly because, well look at the cycle. So before going back, I asked longtime and hardcore X-Fans what I should expect. Most wondered why I even do this, I get more than enough masochistic RAGE from Teen Titans.

So here’s what happened while I was away:

Shadowcat is back:

We last saw Kitty Pryde at the end of Joss Whedon‘s very successful run in Astonishing X-Men, arguably one of the best arcs in the past decade. She’s freed from her giant intangible hollow bullet circling space forever and is back on earth, but with a catch: she’s stuck in her intangible form and can’t speak without wearing a suit. But she gets better. Don’t ask how but she does. But who brought her back?

Magneto joins the X-Men:

I think it’s no secret that I totally hated Hal Jordan’s costume for the Green Lantern movie. Seriously, look at it. It’s like they stuck a huge pile of moldy bacon all over Ryan Reynolds. I know it’s meant to be alien-looking and all, but it’s been a few months already and I still can’t get myself into liking it. Now they’ve revealed how the movie Power Battery looks like and it’s still very, very alien-looking and all – in fact, it’s a huge departure from the way it looks like in the comics – but here’s the thing: I actually like it. Huh.

To be honest, I don’t like the alien glyphs going all around the sides of the power battery – how Matrix can you get, really? – but I like the basic design well enough. It looks alien, which is pretty much the underlying theme in all of the Green Lantern designs we’ve seen so far. I can live with it. I hope this is how Hal Jordan’s CGI costume ends up, because it will destroy some mean shit. (continue reading…)

So. After the amazing Thor trailer was leaked the other week, we now have the SDCC 2010 teaser trailer for the upcoming Josh Whedon film The Avengers out as well.

There isn’t really a lot i n it. In fact, if you were expecting a lot, you’d be disappointed. It’s just Nick Fury (played by Samuel L. Jackson) narrating while we watch The Avengers logo (created by Ahmet Ahmet and Peter Frankfurt of Imaginary Forces) being formed.

Click on the logo below (or here) for the trailer. Quick, before it’s taken down!

Okay, it’s not exactly awesome, but it ain’t bad, especially for a film that hasn’t even begun production yet.

The Avengers is going to be directed by Joss Whedon and will star Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Clark Gregg, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner.
