I would say the humour is being kept, this looks like action, something i felt was always ruined in the third act of the past two films.
I hate when there is a good gag or line and trailers ruin it. I must say bond done alright I took a look at the final trailer and they seem to have just reused what we already had seen so no more spoilers.
Interested to see how the Mandarin angle plays out. In the cinematic universe, the "Ten Rings" (his traditional source of power) were the terrorist organisation from the first film. In the comics, a magic dragon taught him how to cast spells. No prizes for guessing why they dropped that bit.
But no Fury or Black Widow? Shame.
As I recall, Whedon wants to make Avengers 2 more personal. This may be the first step!
Well, with
So far, the Marvel Cinematic Universe always has, and always will.
If DC are going to do this Justice League gambit, they'll have some big shoes to fill. All they have is Batman that is a sure-fire hit.
DC's problem is that they don't really know how to put their characters on screen. Batman is easy, as he's human. Superman, on the other hand, is an unstoppable juggernaut from another planet who's only real weakness is his home planet. It's tough to put together a movie for a guy who can blow out a sun like a candle. The Green Lantern has a special ring that can practically solve the whole universe's problems so long as they aren't the color yellow. The Martian Manhunter could very well be explored the same way Marvel did Thor, but I'm certain DC would never want to do that. It'd probably be tough to put Wonder Woman on screen without maker her Xena (which DC technically did, in the animated Justice League: The New Frontier film). The Flash can run really fast, and as such, doesn't really lend himself to a movie where he's the central star. The Green Arrow, I feel, works better on TV (I loved how Justice League Unlimited used him). Most of DC's characters don't feel right outside of the comic book medium.
Marvel, on the other hand, has a whole plethora of characters that can be explored in many different ways because they're all multifaceted characters. They work well no matter how you reinterpret them (except the Punisher, let's never have another Dolph Lundgren type, please). Also, Marvel's characters are more rounded, personality-wise. They feel more like actual people, even when one of them's a hammer wielding demigod with daddy issues.
DC did well with their DC Animated Universe cartoons from 92-06, but I don't think they can break into a shared film universe like Marvel has any time soon.
Though, I will say, Marvel's gonna have a hard time selling the Guardians of the Galaxy to me. Even if they take very special care with the characters, two of them are still a rocket-launcher wielding raccoon and a talking tree.
