is it worth it to see?

im already peeved that they have fiddled with the Avengers storyline, but now Thanos is involved and i am worried they will destroy the Infinity Gauntlet saga.

also i just read online that whoever is producing the Avengers doesnt have the rights to the word "mutant" so im wondering if theres even any future in this series. anyone seen it yet?

The movie, while slow with a bit of a childish feel to start, exceeded my expectations overall.

No, it's infinity stones/gems. They will certainly twist the story around a bit to fit the established continuity but to try to force it to be "more like the comic book" would be a terrible decision. These are movies based on the avengers stories and nobody promised that they were going to be lazy and copy the comics word for word so anyone expecting them to do so is basing that expectation on nothing.

Spider Man either. Avengers took place in New York and Peter Parker was on vacation or something. You just kind of deal with it.

i dont really expect them to use the comic book as the actual script, but there are some creative liberties they have made in the Avengers that i do not think retained character detail or storyline from the original.
of course this is to be expected anytime a good story goes to hollywood, i just hoped that since everyone involved with these movies claims to be a fan, that they would have a little more respect for the basic principles of the stories in order to not alter them.
the infinity gauntlet is epic, and if the movie fails to produce this, its just gona be another full shelf at blockbuster(old-age metaphor).

Not sure what "mutant" would have to do with anything. Any Avengers we ever see just won't ever be mutants. They're being allowed to twist Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver into something else, since they're a grey area between Avengers and X-Men properties. Avengers movies have been doing fine without mutants, so far. Guardians of the Galaxy have no mutants, so it's cool.

the infinity gauntlet is supposed to involve many members of xmen and other x-related groups, and spider-man plays a pivotal role.

im worried they are going to either rebrand all these characters (once again) or just awkwardly avoid dialogue that involves such copywritten words.

your gosh darned capitalism is ruining my childhood fantasies.

Spider-Man's role in the Infinity Gauntlet story was hardly pivotal, and none of the other heroes was especially necessary. Spidey did nothing the whole story beside run his mouth unnecessarily.

Marvel won't rebrand any characters. A big screen adaptation will simply be what's necessary: Thanos vs a bunch of heroes (all Avengers and Guardians). What may suck is that there's no Warlock (yet).

I hate Spiderman anyway so him not being in Avengers is a plus for me.

Is this in 3D? I ask because I usually wait for the Blu-ray and wanted to pick it up when it comes out. I never go to the movies...always taking a chance some kneegers and their sprogs will ruin it with TNB.

Sit behind them and kick the seat in front of you occasionally/"accidentally"
