The Avengers Movie

My only quip with the movie was this.. Spoilers.

kinda feel like Cap got a little dissed. There wasn't much focus on his adaptation to the new world, or any scenes beyond his intro scene that were truly "his." They made him somewhat inept in the fighting, where he needed Iron Man's help taking down Loki, or when he got pinned down by gunfire, blown out a window, or tagged by a shot. I kept expecting their to be some redeeming moment where Cap's superior skills or what-not overcame some big enemy and redeemed Cap, showing what a bad dude he is, but it never came. It was also never balanced out by establishing that Cap is the group's leader and it's glue, either, which is what had always made Cap so essential to the Avengers.

I read in an interview with Joss Whedon that the film's original screen time was almost 3 hours, and that the deleted scenes were almost exclusively Cap stuff, so I wonder if the bulk of Cap's plot development was axed for the sake of time.

Also wouldn't have hurt to get some more Cap shield bashing in. There was a distinct lack of it in his movie, and I figured they would make up for it here, but it seems like Hawkeye got more "action-time" than Cap did.

Anyways, Cap's my guy, so I'm obviously a bit biased, but I just feel like their is a lot of untapped potential there that they've just pushed to the side, perhaps because they're scared of "banging the drum" to international audiences or the currently large amount of people in this country who feel it's cool to dislike America, or a variety of other reasons.

Hopefully they'll do a better service to Cap when his sequel and the Avengers sequel come out in two or three years, respectively, but I remember hoping that same thing after CA:TFA came out last year.

Anyways, all that said, I loved the movie. Probably one of my favorite movies of all time.

With the exception of the Nolan Batmans, DC hasn't had an even decent film of one of their characters made since 1978. Marvel was the same until they decided to ditch the third parties and start making the films themselves. If DC wants the same kind of success, they need to ditch WB who is interested in churning out garbage like Green Lantern and Superman Returns and Catwoman that are riddled with input from non-creative executives and thrown together for the simple reason that they have the rights and might as well try to make a buck.

With the news that when Nolan is done, they're rebooting Batman again with the same dude who played Green Lantern, don't expect that to happen any time soon. If they ever do make a Justice League movie, expect it to be a pile of poo just like all the rest of their films they didn't get a lucky fluke of a producer/director for.

And on that same subject, expect several more shitty X-Men, Daredevil, F4, Ghost Rider, Punisher, Spider-man, etc. movies and reboots in the coming years just because FOX and Sony have to exercise the film rights or they revert back to Marvel. The only rights Marvel has that would be of interest to anyone besides the Avengers that we've already seen are Black Panther, Luke Cage, and Ms. Marvel.
