> [@Sage\_Rat](#): > > Alien - 8 Cute. I haven’t seen all the superhero films of this year (I think there were only two that relate, _Thor_ and _Capt America_) and have never been much of a superhero fan anyway. But this looks fun, and a proper crossover team-up is something that is past due for live action. ---

Maybe some day, we’ll see Vision. ---

> [@Uosdwis\_R.Dewoh](#): > > For a guy who got his powers from steroids, Captain America was being kinda snooty towards Tony Stark and his suit in the trailer. That’s something that really jumped out at me too. “what are you without that suit?” “As in, what are you without the body full of super steroids?” Tony’s comeback is funnier though 😃 ---

I would pay good money just to see two hours of Robert Downey Jr. reciting dialogue written by Joss Whedon. ---

> [@](#): > > That line is the Whedoniest. No, the Whedoniest is Banner’s simple, sincere-sounding “Thanks”. And **JThunder** , we got at least two shots of Hawkeye: One of him deploying his bow, and one of him shooting at something. Which isn’t bad, for one of the two least-powered characters on the team. ---

It looks like Whedon avoided turning it into the Black Widow show, so I think we may be in for Good Whedon, rather than Bad Whedon… ---

Which isn’t bad, for one of the two least-powered characters on the team. I acknowledge that. Remember, I didn’t claim that Hawkeye wasn’t depicted at all. Rather, I said that we didn’t get enough of him. The two scenes that you mentioned were all too brief, especially in comparison to the exposure that the other characters received. Heck, the other less-powered character, the Black Widow, got considerably more screen time.than he did. ---

It’s a trailer, not the movie itself. They’re not going to sell the movie on a character most people have never heard of, and whose entire screen time to date was a 2 minute cameo in “Thor.” Especially not when they have Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johanssen in _already-recognizable_ roles to choose from. ---
