Twitter while on the shitter?
I've become one of those.
That poster is about as bland as the original poster.
Poor Sam Rockwell.
Looking very likely that Joss Whedon will be directing The Avengers.
I'm fine with that. His Astonishing X-Men is the best X book I've ever read so he can do good team stuff. Not a fan of Firefly, hated Dollhouse and haven't watched more then an episode or two of Buffy but I think he's a far better choice then I expected them to make.
The Avengers will be cancelled about 43 minutes in.
Actually, I don't know how accurate it is to say other directors. It's actually interesting to think about how when they cast Captain America, Thor, etc, they had to think about how those actors fit into the Avengers movie or in cameos in each other's movies.
Chris Evans will be 30 by the time Captain America comes out. That's about right.
Tony Stark and Bruce Banner should be much older than him anyway.
Chris Evans is exactly the right age. Steve Rogers was 19 when he took the Super Soldier serum, and he was 28 when he was frozen in the block of ice. Evans looks about in between those ages.
You know what, you're right, and I knew that while I was writing my post, but... Evans? I have nothing against him, but he's perfect for the Human Torch for a reason. I don't know how much maturity and presence the guy can convey as this big strategic and military leader.
I give you:
THOR!!!!!!

Looks kinda stage-y. Branagh's doing, I suppose. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Eh, he's a Norse God / superhero with the power of thunder. I think going all stagey and Shakespeare on this is a pretty good idea. I still see your point, though.

It's really quite extraordinary that we've come to the point where Kenneth Branagh is directing a comic book adaptation. I suspect that Mr. Branagh is going to treat the material with the utmost reverence and that we get a kind of movie that is closer to The Dark Knight than to Fantastic Four. Yeah, I really feel that Thor could be one of the best superhero movies ever made.
