This is exactly how I ranked them as well.

Yup. These are optional currently but I'm sure will be set in stone three days after the Avengers release.

I would expect a trilogy out of all of them, except for maybe The Hulk.

I hope WB doesn't rush out a Batman reboot the way WB did with Spider-Man. I mean give it a good six or seven years before you piss away Nolan's good doings.

I may be in the minority when I say this but I actually liked Ang Lee's Hulk and I prefer Bana over Norton as Bruce Banner.

The big dude was great and I always like Natalie Portman.
If the "tracking numbers" (which seldom indicate anything accurately) hold, don't look for Avengers or TDKR to end this trend.

Yeah I somehow doubt they'll wait more than a couple years though. Batman is hot right now so they'll try to bank off it as long as possible.

Re: Which Avengers Prequel is Your Favorite ?

I'd probably put Thor and Captain America at the top of my list, although I liked all of them.


I'm another one that really liked Ang Lee's Hulk. From reading the comics as a kid, some of the Hulk scenes at the desert base really captured the feel of the comics in my mind.

^ FWIW, Lee's Hulk was quite faithful to the Hulk comic series of the time it was made. Very moody and dark with little humor.

Which is too bad because (as I voted earlier in this thread) The Incredible Hulk has been my favorite so far.

Maybe Ruffalo's Hulk will be such a crowd pleaser they'll give him his own movie.

To vote and say that I liked Thor even though I'm usually not a fan of superhero movies. What was difficult to understand?

Because he and Robert Downey, Jr made a little movie together (the same year the first Iron Man came out) which featured:



Justin Theroux co-wrote Tropic Thunder.

I can't see how anyone would actually think those would signal the end.

I guess i'd figure people would hope for something that is closer to the realm of possibility

Because you called the superhero/comic book genre a bad trend and hoped for it to end. That's threadcrapping.

When did I call it a bad genre? I said I'm not a fan, which is just personal opinion and I thought there were too many of them. I then said that hopefully there won't be as many in the future. I'm hoping that the Avengers 2 will signal the end of multiple superhero movies every single year. I never said anything negative about the genre or ripped on anybody that likes the movies. I just said I'm not a fan and that there are too many of them.

Reading comprehension is an important skill pal.

Re: Which Avengers Prequel is Your Favorite ?

You said you personally don't like the genre and wish there were fewer. Well what about people that love them and want even more? That's crapping all over those people that can't get enough of it. What if I said I wasn't a fan of your own personal favorite genre and said I wish there were fewer. It wouldn't be so funny if the tables were turned now would it.

And logic is just an important skill as reading comprehension. The Avengers has been getting nothing but glowing reviews. None of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies have done poorly, and Avengers is said to easily top them all. So if you think (or hope) the genre is going to end anytime soon, you are delusional.

And anyway, I would say that the far more logical thing is that there are likely to be more superhero movies in the future, not less. If anything DC is probably going to want their own share of the pie and start their own cinematic universe within the next few years. So really its all just barely begun...

Superhero movies suck and everybody that likes them are morons.

Now THAT was a threadcap. See the difference?

Re: Which Avengers Prequel is Your Favorite ?

I dont know why some one would want a genre of movies to stop when they are obviously successful.
Besides that, even if someone doesn't care for it many people do so why wish for something to go away that so many enjoy?

My order is

Thor
Iron Man
Hulk
Cap
Iran Man II

What's the proper viewing order in terms of a timeline if there's one?

Isn't it just the order they came out in? Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America.

Lee's film took a lot of chances, but failed at almost every single one.

Leterrier's film is lifeless and sucks just as much.

In that regard, I respect Lee's more only due to the fact he tried to make something different rather than your generic, by-the-numbers superhero film.

Marvel needs to remove the franchise from Universal and develop a Hulk film in-house. Based upon early reviews, Whedon does justice to the character. If that's any indication, allow Whedon to have some involvement (writer or producer) on a new Hulk entry.

It's been Marvel's since The Incredible Hulk. Universal just distributed because failed to make a sequel in whatever short as fuck time frame they had for it.
