As most of you now, I used to have a strong disliking for Nolan and his batman movies. I kinda grew up though and realized they are great movies, though not perfect, and am eagerly anticating a certain Dark Knight's Rise.
On the other hand, I did grow up with Marvel and Spiderman and I think Avengers will be one of the best movies of all time.
But, after seeing a recent article, I have come to a stunning revelation: we are why nerds get picked on. We, the very people who claim to be so smart, are fighting and splitting ourselves apart.
For Nolanites: Yes, The Dark Knight was amazing. Yes, it provided an accurate yet realistic portrayal of all it's characters. But was it perfect? No. Does its greatness slate Rises for the same thing? No. It looks great. Totally. Great cast, great filmography, and Bane's Gotham in ashes line is one of the best things I've heard IN MY LIFE. But stop acting like Nolan's God. Please. You come off as jerks.
For Whedonites: All the lead up films have been great. Great FX, casting villains, you know, the sort. But, Avengers will be EXTREMELY hard to pull off. Am I saying it will be bad? No. But they have hit a few hitches. Cap's makes being one, the lame toys(though not indicating anything about the movie's quality) being another. Stop acting like everything we've seen is EPIC OMG ITS AMAZING EXPLOSIONS PEW-PEW LASERS JIZZ IN MY PANTS. You come off as jerks.
If I have any point at all, it's this: Guys, we are getting Tom fricking Hardy as Bane. We are getting a Batwing, bad guy Tumblers, mercenaries prepared to take down Gotham, Catwoman, and maybe Ra's Al Ghul IN THE SAME FILM. Directed by one of the greatest directors of ALL TIME.
On the other hand, we are getting Captain America. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. The best Thor EVER. Super FX Hulk. The lovely(and I do mean that) Scarlett Johansson, Samuel Jackson, Jeremy Renner, and unknown Aliens IN THE SAME FILM. Directed by cult classic and God to many fans out there Joss fricking Whedon.
Do we have to worry about which one has better trailers?
