What You Should Have Seen #22

The Avengers

The wait for this movie, the build-up, the prequels and the non-stop advertising…they’ve all been worth it.

Real quick, I feel the need to let anyone reading this know that there will be spoilers. I’ll be as vague as possible in most instances, but there’s going to be some details I’ll have to talk about. If you haven’t seen the movie yet and don’t want to know anything other than what’s been shown in the trailers, then read no farther. Just know that this movie is worth your hard-earned coin. ALL of your hard-earned coin.

Also, if you haven't seen it yet, stay through the credits. It's pretty much a must-do now for all of Marvel's movies, but it needs to be said here. Stay until all the credits have rolled. You won't regret it.

TRAILER FOR IRON MAN 2!!!!!!!!!!!

If you would have told me 5 years ago that one of my favorite comics each month would be an Iron Man comic, I would have laughed at you. I've never been an Iron Man fan. I've never been a big fan of any of the wealthy superheros out there. I guess I just can't relate.

And then Civil War happened, and Tony Stark became Mr. Awesome in the Marvel Universe. And then the Skrulls launched their Secret Invasion, and his world went to hell. It has been a wild and awesome ride.

Also in that time, Robert Downey, Jr. starred as Tony Stark in the Iron Man movie, and he owned that role. That was hands down one of the best comic book movies I've ever seen.

So we're only a handful of months away from Iron Man 2 being released, and the first trailer is finally out. I'm not lying when I say I love this so much that I want to take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant (I've been watching too much 30 Rock).

[For some reason, I can't get the trailer to play at the correct size. Grrrrr...]
