Spidey 2 and Death Death Death

One reason why I didn't like the Amazing Spiderman (though it was better than Spiderman 3 and possibly 2) was the costume:

He looked like a Power Ranger and with all due respect to Andrew Garfield, he doesn't look like a superhero.  I guess that's the point of Peter Parker but I don't take him seriously.

Well the new pic for Spidey 2 is out:

 

Looks MUCH better.

Speaking of Marvel, Joss Whedon stated what he's going to do with Avengers 2 and that's "Death death and more death".

Oh yay.

Now one reason why I stopped watching anything that has to do with Whedon is the fact that he not only kills off characters like it's a trend, but I think he actually LIKES doing it for some reason.  If he owned the Avengers, actually created the characters, then he would have killed off at least a few of them. 

Not saying that death can't be great drama, especially if one's characters face danger and evil all the time, but it just got annoying after a while.  And when you actually expect it, then it's no longer shocking nor a surprise.

I hope he remembers that he DOES NOT own these characters.

Tony Stark's Dilema

The new Superbowl commercial for IronMan 3 shows people falling to their death and only Tony Stark can save them....at least four of them...out of thirteen.  Quite the feat, for any superhero.

Which brings up an interesting dilema:  What if he truly CAN'T save them all?  That might be the focus of this scene and an important plot point.  Though he ends up saving some, a few (possibly most) die and instead of being seen as a hero, he might be instead blamed by members of the press, the goverment and the public.

 

Sure, superheroes can do incredible things, but they can't do everything and though Tony is smart, I wonder just HOW is he going to save all of them?  Maybe the film will be bold and not give the scene a happy ending like John McClain in Die Hard 2.  An entire PLANE of people died despite him trying everything he could.

 

 

 

I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

 

I'm still annoyed by the new armor, though.
