Okay, so I think this might be the last “The Avengers“-related article I write for a little while. The media rush seems to have died down (even though ticket sales are still going strong), and it’s starting to feel like I can get back to my normal routine again. With that in mind, here’s a [...]

Even my “Adapt This” column gets the Avengers treatment…

It feels like I’ve done nothing but write about “The Avengers” this week, and I’m sure it feels like you’ve read nothing but stories about “The Avengers” here, too. But such is life on my side of things, true believers. (Yes, I’ve got Stan Lee-isms on my brain right now, for obvious reasons…) And so [...]

May 9th, 2012 · No Comments
With all of the fuss over the post-credits scene in “The Avengers” and what it means for the scope of the franchise, I got thinking about Marvel movies past and all of the great post-credits scenes those movies featured. Ever since Nick Fury introduced himself after the “Iron Man” credits rolled, Marvel has really planted [...]
What’s next after “The Avengers” in the Marvel movie-verse? Funny you should ask…

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of “The Avengers,” but when the credits rolled on Marvel’s blockbuster team-up, I did have a few questions. Over at IFC, I wrote up the five biggest questions on my mind after “The Avengers” — including the whereabouts of a certain super-weaponized version of Tony Stark’s armor. [...]
“The Avengers” is everything “The Dark Knight” is not… and that’s a good thing.

Ever since I left the screening of “The Avengers” last week, I’ve been trying to figure out exactly why liked the movie so much. The answer started to materialize recently when I was explaining to someone why I liked “Iron Man” better than “The Dark Knight” when both films premiered in 2008. I wrote up [...]
“The Avengers” 101 (a.k.a. What you need to know from the previous Marvel movies)
May 4th, 2012 · No Comments
From the sound of things, many of the people I know attended last night’s midnight screening of “The Avengers,” but for those waiting until this weekend to see the film (like normal humans), you might want to get up to speed with the Marvel movie-verse before you hit the theater. With that in mind, I [...]
