Marvel

So this week topic is Marvel.  More specifically the movies based on Marvel characters and their comics.  Now a good portion of us have seen the Avengers movie (or you could go to YouTube and just watch all the leaks from people and watch the trailers to basically watch the whole movie.).  This movie not only brought in a lot of money, but a lot of new ideas and concepts that are going into play even now. Some of them are (things I learned) how Marvel might be doing a little t.v. show of S.H.I.E.L.D. to keep viewers interested during the off season. Also how now movie companies are working together.  Like when you think of a certain movie, like X-Men belongs or is known for the Fox company.  Sony has Spider-Man.  Now these companies might be working together.  Different companies working together for a common goal, (just like the Avengers!).  And as an added bonus....people there will be an Avengers 2 and a Iron Man 3.  Just saying. For opinions.  I think what Marvel and the director has done for these characters is great.  Also I like how they enticed the viewer.  By that I mean, in the one Incredible Hulk movie, at the very end we saw Betty's father (can't remember his name) speaking with the one and only Tony Stark!  Or like in Iron Man 2 when Tony was building that huge contraption to make the new element, he used Captain America's shield to level out the pipes.  I didn't notice that at first but my brother pointed it out to me.  When he did I got so excited!  It was like that moment of "Hey I know what they are hinting at!" kind of thing.  Little things like that is what keep people interested in the movies.  It's like saying, "here is this story.  If you like it maybe you will like this one as well" and then they drop the subtle hint at the end of the movie.  They did that at the end of the Avengers movie as well with the villain.  This is a great way to get people to not only see the other movies but give us little hints to the final collaboration when all the Avengers came together.  As for a question...what will Marvel think of next?
