Avengers budget = 0 million

A dose of malaria vaccine = .

In America, you can be spoon-fed endless summers of regressive infantile pleasure for the slight cost of 2,200,000 non-immunized individuals.

Also that actual characters beating the crap out of each other is more entertaining than generic cgi alien jetskiers.

How many malaria vaccines did it cost to get you on a computer connected to the internet and post that comment, you CHILDISH NAZI PIG RAPIST

The malaria-stricken will be there always, and you can help them any time you want. But "The Avengers" will be at theaters for only a limited time.

The Avengers made money and stimulated the economy, specifically 1.5 billion dollars directly, with the jobs created and sales stimulated by it's production and sales even bigger.

Of course not making the movie would have meant those people wouldn't have had that money, some of which they donated, or paid in taxes to programs to aid sick children, or covered their own childrens medical costs. In fact it's failure or lack of production could have put Disney into a defensive position following the failure of John Carter, causing them to lay people off, charities to suffer, and children to die.

I guess I just want to enjoy a movie and see children live, but we can agree to disagree.

I suppose you'd prefer all the people who worked on this movie to be unemployed and unable to provide for their family's?

In Dinkin Flicka's defense, that pig was totally into it..

Two lessons I learned about making an avengers movie that work are

1. Take care with the talk scenes, and the action scenes will take care of themselves. I read a review that was all about those long second act dialogue scenes on the skybase, or whatever you call it, comparing it to some Howard Hawks/John Wayne movie I'd never seen. Those talk scenes were really solid.

2. People love to be surprised by the familiar. The "puny god" line, and when Captain America say "Hulk? Smash!" are two of the the most satisfying moments in the movie.

Someone once said, "Brilliant writers always make the symbolic violence spill into the literal and not the other way around." Fuck their "talk scenes" -- they have like 10 little prequel films they can refer to for hours. These scenes do nothing for the action. NOTHING! COME ON. If someone gives you 0 million dollars and you aren't unrelenting to be as brilliant as you possibly can be, then you're a Fucking Retard.

Also, anyone you say "I read a review that said _____ " to who doesn't tell you to be more rigorous with the way you make an argument for or against something, is a fucking retard. I love you, John, but there hasn't been a mentally nourishing thing written in a review of anything since like 1959.

And I can say that with authority because, apparently, I'm Ron Paul.

That's why I stick to POE.

Yeah, he's easily one of the most overrated writer/directors in recent history with a fanbase of mostly drooling retards who think that Firefly was somehow "groundbreaking".

I enjoyed Avengers and I think he did a good job on it, but holy fuck his fans are awful. I actually had a co-worker I had known for about a year literally stop talking to me because I said I didn't like Buffy or Firefly or any of that bullshit.

I don't like things that other people like because I define my taste in opposition to the mainstream. I wear tight jeans and thick rimmed glasses and dance around. dodeedo look at me.

If you don't like barefoot lesbian kung-fu then you have no place on this site.

Good day sir.

Yes, because I clearly could possibly be evaluating it on it's own merits (or lack thereof).

you fucktard.

I liked Firefly but I agree his fans are annoying dicks. And I especially despise his fetishes being trumpeted as feminism.

I also think the best part of this clip is Johansson's line right at the start of this clip.

Barefoot lesbian Kung Fu sounds like a Tarentino thing.

What kind of comic book conventions are you guys hanging out at where retarded Joss Whedon fans are unavoidable?


Loved the Avengers movie. The Dark Knight Rises mostly pissed me off, though I admired it.

"awkwardly ignoring his barefoot lesbian kung-fu fetish."

Ignoring it? Why do you think we're fans?

If you couldn't enjoy Firefly at least a little, I doubt you can feel joy at all.

After this towering achievement, I don't think it's possible to overrate Whedon. But some people are WAY too into Buffy.

One of these days, I'll find out what "Firefly" is.

Cabin in the Woods was great, so was this and Firefly. How can you not like Whedon?

After about the fourth hour of CGI action figures beating the shit out of each other yet causing no visible damage I was pretty desperate for this movie to stop

Well, there was plenty of Bruce Banner. In my opinion, Hulk was used brilliantly in this one. The thing about the Hulk, when he's not being awesome, he's not that interesting. This time out, other characters could carry the story, and they saved Hulk for some of the best KICKASS action moments.

This wasn't even Hulk's best moment, in my opinion. The best Hulk moment was when Hulk caught Iron Man in mid leap, as Iron Man was falling to Earth. Remember that? Fuck, that was cool! Thor (puny god!) had barely managed to start swinging his hammer, and Hulk just came out of nowhere.

I've never enjoyed the Hulk this much before.

The Hulk catches Iron Man moment would have been awesome,

if I hadn't seen it in every trailer and tv spot beforehand.

This scene made me laugh in the theatre. I thought it was fun.

Clearly, they should have cared more about pleasing you, the guy who hates comic books, and cared less about pleasing every other person in the audience.

If it helps, you've probably spent your lifetime developing your soul from the American consumer larval form it was born with, and most people, especially people who like this movie, probably still have.

You might be the single stupidest person I've ever come across, Holmes.

My favorite moment for Hulk, if not the whole movie, was when he and Thor tag teamed that flying thing, almost immediately after which Hulk just punches Thor off screen.

Yep, the Thor punch makes me laugh every time.
