Sorry, can’t help it: I’m just kicking into full-on fanboy mode for this thing, and I’m afraid there’s no turning back, because fucking A, it’s a Joss Whedon movie about the Avengers. So. Here’s the extended version of yesterday’s Super Bowl ad. I have now watched it an embarrassing number of times.
With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com. More by Erik Henriksen
Scarjo looks so out of place, I can’t get over it.
And it still looks like it’s going to be Iron Man 2.5, with a little bit of assembling and avenging.
The Wasp would have defeated Loki’s army in the first reel with her power of ultra-winsomeness.
The bow and arrow looks way out of place, too. Always did.
Still wish The Vision somehow made it in.
THIS WILL BE NEARLY AS GOOD AS WHEDON’S OTHER PROJECT ‘DOLLHOUSE’.
I really hope there is a moment where Cap picks up Thor’s hammer. “You dropped this.”
I’ll still see this. But omitting Wasp is a grievous error. Not as grievous an error as General Grievous in the SW prequels, but up there. Just, you know, generally a grievous error.
