They've all been mediocre at best, so it wouldn't be hard for this to be the best.

Like I said, jon isn't the first person to claim Hawkeye is the weakest Avenger and not in this movie much, whilst you originally said he'd be in the film as much as the "Big 3".

It's just funny seeing you now turn this around.


So he gets a decent amount of screen time.


So you didn't actually read this then?

And yes Twigg, I totally troll you :roll: because I'm totally the one calling you a girl or constantly questioning your masculinity or calling you names. :roll: (though I do readily admit to calling you an idiot or thick headed every once and a while)

me:
Surely Hawkeye will be a supporting character


Doomy
Hawkeye is a lead in the movie, so is Black Widow. They aren't supporting characters. Renner wouldn't sign on unless he was being used just as much as the big 3.


Jon
Hawkeye isn't in the film as much as them.

Not really sure who's trolling who, but Hawkeye is most certainly not in it as much as the Big 3.

He gets some time in (1 particular talking scene) but I think he's in it the least.

:smt102 apparently I made some stupid comment that I don't even remember claiming that Hawkeye will in the movie as much as the big 3.

Mind you I still say when it comes to all the characters in the movie, Hawkeye is very much a Whedon character. (like a Wash or Xander type)

Agreed. Bunch of bastards. We're supposed to get the good movies first.

Ok.

A film like the X-men had a tighter script, and the story served the larger purpose.

The Avengers feels more like a series of moments that never quite come together for an epic film. There is never a true "hero" moment or any time that you feel the characters are really risking it all (bar one).

The preview would also lead you to believe that the invasion is the huge part of the story. You would be wrong.

So who exactly is the invading army in the film? Is their identity central to the plot given how secretive Whedon has been about them?

Their identity has nothing to do with the plot. They could have been any alien race in there and it would have made no difference.

It was the Chitauri, the Ultimate Universe's Skrulls. Except they don't do any shapeshifting that we're aware of. They're seriously just cannon fodder.

I went to my LCS a little earlier, and all the usual employees (there's usually 3 plus the owner) were gone except the owner working the counter.

They went to an Avengers screening tonight.

I still bought something. But I hated every minute of it. :x :x
