OK, who's psyched about The Avengers next week?

**Onikuno** · 04-25-2012 09:04 PM

I'm an unapologetic nerd for the comics. The Avengers was a comic I NEVER thought would get a movie let alone the build up and star power it has behind it. All of my friends read X-Men when I was a kid and I was the only one who hated the X-Men. The Avengers had so many epic stories and characters. I had to break out my old collection and start thumbing through some books. All I know is that next Thursday night I'll be like a ten year old again who used to pump quarters at the arcade playing the classic Captain America arcade game wishing for this day to finally arrive. I am so amped....like first game of the FOOTBALL SEASON amped!

It's rare that I get THIS excited for a movie anymore. I just can't wait.

**Shooterms** · 04-25-2012 09:10 PM

I predict great things for this thread.

**Aurora** · 04-25-2012 09:13 PM

**WFSooner** · 04-25-2012 09:20 PM

Got my tickets for IMAX at the Warren next week. I can't wait. It's been getting good reviews on Rottentomatoes.

**SoonerBeerSnob** · 04-25-2012 09:24 PM

My wife already bought opening night Warren IMAX tix without me even asking or suggesting it. There is a reason i planted my seed in her.

Big nerd day too. May the 4th is known as "Star Wars Day" (May the 4th be with you)

**SoonerArtillery** · 04-25-2012 09:25 PM

I was wanting to take my boys, but I will probably be in Houston next week for work...they'll have to wait until I get home.

**Stinger_1066** · 04-25-2012 09:39 PM

I'll wait for the DVD.

**silverwheels** · 04-25-2012 09:41 PM

New Dark Knight Rises trailer will premiere in front of the movie, too. I'll see it at some point, but not opening weekend.

**JayMay** · 04-25-2012 10:55 PM

Meh. I'm not totally familiar with many of the characters. I never even heard of Iron Man until the movie a few years ago. I'm sure I'm not the target, however.

**barlowd** · 04-25-2012 10:59 PM

Nerds and the director/producers of the movie.

**drumhead23us** · 04-25-2012 11:03 PM

Man, I'm not even a comic book guy at all, but I have to say it's pretty cool to have all those characters in one movie together. But, that also means that they could turn it into a convoluted train wreck and piss off legions of comic nerds.

Oh it is guaranteed to piss off hardcore comic nerds but fans of comics should just be happy that it is happening. Just wish they could have Wolverine and Spider-man in it but that will never happen.

**Palmbeachsooner** · 04-26-2012 01:09 AM

Going to the sneak preview Tuesday.

+1000000 for Dark Night.. ****ing love that movie.

**veyron_80** · 04-26-2012 06:29 AM

Oh.. And I am excited to see Avengers as well.

**AcousticSoup** · 04-26-2012 07:05 AM

Taking the day off Friday to take my boy to see it.

**waynepayne** · 04-26-2012 07:28 AM

I'll go see it but not opening day.

and I have had July 20th circled on my calendar for some time now....

**SirPrize** · 04-26-2012 08:09 AM

In the Director's Suite at the Warren.

Yes, I'm a comic book nerd.

**macdaddybuff** · 04-26-2012 08:26 AM

I will be sitting on the edge of my seat litteraly. I can't bend my knee well enough to sit back in the seat so I will be sitting on the edge for the whole movie but I am going..

The Prize always has booze at hand. I'll be the tall ****er that is drunk, talking like Thor.

**SoonerBeerSnob** · 04-26-2012 08:40 AM

this is on the Cap blu-ray. Funny as hell.

The only clip i could find of this one. The full one is on the Thor Blu-ray

**SirPrize** · 04-26-2012 08:41 AM

At least I won't stick my **** in crazy.

**Sancho** · 04-26-2012 08:49 AM

I think it looks like a fun movie and I am certainly excited to see it. It just bothers me that in this universe Thor co-exists with mortal superheroes. Ironman, Hulk, et al are great on their own or even along side each other... but adding Thor to the mix makes it completely unbalanced and makes the rest of the heroes irrelevant. I mean come on, Iron-man has a cool suit but Thor is a ****ing GOD. Go home, Ironman, Thor is here now... the world has no need for you. Hawkeye is complimenting Thor in fighting evil? Please. It would be like God himself appearing on Earth to fight off a horde of demons and asking me to help him because I am OK with a shotgun. I am fine with suspending disbelief enough to accept a world with superheroes... but it still needs to be an accurate depiction of how the world would be if said heroes existed.

Thor lacks subtlety (and in this universe an from an alien race that were worshiped as gods) . Black Widow and Hawkeye are Agents of Shield first. They are like spies. Don't underestimate their ability to kick **** with trick arrows and Bullseye-like accuracy. Also Hulk smashes WAY better than Thor. /nerdrant

Marvel Universe The Asgards are an alien race that humans worshiped as gods...duh ! Don't get me started nerding out.

Theoretically, Hulk is the most powerful of them all as his strength has no limit.

**AcousticSoup** · 04-26-2012 11:55 AM

Well played, SirPrize.... Well played.

**oklahoma_kracker** · 04-26-2012 12:02 PM

I got an e-mail yesterday from a vendor we work with that is having an appreciation event at the opening of The Avengers at the Warren Theater in Moore. A guest and I will get a ticket, popcorn and a drink each for the 1:30 showing. Both my wife and son wanted to go, but she (being the awesome mom she is) bowed out so he can go. I told him I'd pick him up early from school so we can go up and enjoy the movie.

What's better than a move you're stoked to see? Seeing it with your kid while someone else pays.

Getting ready to see avengers in 20 min. Opened early here in Thailand.

I'm not one to write a review after one viewing so I probably won't be back to say much. I'm sure it'll be awesome.

I will say theaters are packed for this movie more than any other we've seen here so far.

Drunk Sooner · 05-01-2012 06:46 AM

I am trying really really hard not to bully all you nerds.

**cosmoxl** · 05-01-2012 08:15 AM

Hulk is the baddest of the bunch!

I saw the sneak preview tonight in Imax in 3D. I'm not a comic book guy and even I thought it was incredible. I loved it.

**Pat Sajak** · 05-01-2012 10:30 PM

I'll be excited about this movie if, and only if, someone tells me Scarlett Johansson goes topless for at least 30 uninterrupted seconds in a well-lit scene.

Yeah, that's right. Thirty seconds. That's all I need.

Me either. i've never seen any of them, the XMen, or the Fantastic Four films so I'm not the target guy either. My daughter wants to see it so maybe I'll go with her. I'm sort of wanting to see Battleship.

Theatres here are showing all the films of the characters leading up to the midnight showing of The Avengers. I believe the ticket for the marathon is like 45$. My sister tried to do that but it sold out fast.
