Awesome Avengers

“So… anybody can be an Avenger now?” CollegeHumor pokes fun at the ridiculous number of characters who turned up in Avengers: Infinity War, imagining a MCU crossover film where the entire movie is spent simply assembling the endless Avengers.

Avengers: Infinity War is almost here. If you need a refresher of what has happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far, Variant Comics has you covered. Watch the video and look back at the past 18 movies in the MCU, from the first Iron Man to Black Panther.

Hot Toys has a new Movie Edition Captain America action figure based on the hero’s appearance in Avengers: Infinity War. Not only does it come with Cap’s new pair of Wakandan shields, it also has a “mystery weapon” that will be revealed after the movie’s release.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Avengers: Infinity War, artist Steven Richter created a clay sculpture then cast and painted this impressive handmade mini bust of the film’s villain, Thanos, complete with light-up LED eyeballs for added effect.

The Mad Titan is here to wipe out half your annual toy budget. Hot Toys’ new Thanos action figure is over 16″ tall and comes with two interchangeable LED-lit left fists that are wearing the Infinity gauntlet. It also has an extra head and four swappable hands.

As if there wasn’t already way too much going on in Avengers: Infinity War, Aldo Jones had to go and add even more characters and insanity to the film with his latest weird trailer. Honestly, we’re surprised that Shrek didn’t join the Avengers sooner.

“He only ever had one goal: to wipe out half of the universe.” Gamorra reveals that Thanos has a simple plan to bring balance to the universe, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes assemble, and Spider-Man thinks something is strange in the new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War.

Spurred by David Fincher’s comment that Marvel’s three-act structure is constricting and formulaic, Lessons from the Screenplay sets out to define what exactly an act is, using The Avengers as an example before even beginning to issue a verdict on how Marvel uses acts.

Mashup maker Darth Blender chopped up bits and pieces of classic sci-fi, superhero, and fantasy footage to create an awesome retro take on the Avengers: Infinity War trailer, had the movie come out sometime in the late 1970s or early 1980s. I-ron Man is the best.

The Avengers get ready to take on their ultimate foe as the evil and powerful Thanos (Josh Brolin) wields the Infinity Gauntlet, and attempts to collect all six Infinity Stones so he can dominate the universe – threatening Earth and life as we know it in its wake.

FINAL JUSTICE! Kaiyodo follows up its instant classic Wolverine action figure with Captain America. The 6.5″-tall action figure has an amazing 38 points of articulation. You can place its shield on its arm or on its back. It also comes with a bullet ricochet effect for the shield.

Marvel rings the bell for the hype train with a short interview with the cast and crew of Avengers: Infinity War. The two-part film is the culmination of nearly a decade of after credit-scenes. Seriously though we hope they can make Thanos interesting.

The Film Theorists share interesting trivia behind the production of The Avengers, including how Marvel retained creative control by funding its own movie studio, and how director Joss Whedon saved us from a potentially disastrous script.

“If we can’t accept limitations, we’re no better than the bad guys.” MCU Exchange did Marvel a huge solid with this awesome montage of clips from past Marvel movies and TV series that point to the big confrontation in Captain America: Civil War.

The latest Minute Match-ups from YouTube member ismahawk pits that guy in purple against, well, the finest archer ever known. It’s a well choreographed and shot piece which will keep you quite entertained for about three minutes.

Illustrator Josh Lynch has an ongoing series of illustrations where he turns Marvel superheroes into dogs. We can’t decide which one we like best. MODOG is probably the right answer, but we love the Mr. Fantastic dachshund so much.

After pointing out what Ultron should have done in Avengers: Age of Ultron, How It Should Have Ended demonstrates how the heroes could have made their lives easier, if time and licensing (and stupidity) were not issues.

There’s a lot of head-scratching moments in Age of Ultron, but How It Should Have Ended focuses on the most important one, showing how simple it should have been for Ultron to beat the Avengers. So… part 2 is a DC movie?

“Hey! You have been texting Rachel adorable emojis and that’s creepy!” Bad Lip Reading turned Earth’s Mightiest Heroes into squabbling rednecks, arguing about pork that tastes like monkey, Cap’s disappointing grandma and more.

(SPOILERS) Avengers: Age of Ultron is packed with characters, teasers for future Marvel films and as Mr. Sunday Movies points out it, references to the comic books that casual fans won’t recognize.

SNL pokes fun at Marvel’s seeming inability to deliver on a compelling female superhero on screen, as they completely miss the point of Black Widow, and cast her in a romantic comedy. It’s not like DC has done any better.

“Buildings, roads, regular people. These are not superheroes, yet they are consistently shown throughout the film.” The Onion satirizes the overabundance of characters in Avengers: Age of Ultron by demanding the exact opposite.
