First Look: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

Just saw the AVENGERS trailer and yes I  know everyone else has as well.......ok, ok, ok. Why are they hiding the Hulk? Is he just going to be a major green skinned badass and just holding him in wait?


And at first look: I am not liking this David Banner played by  Mark Ruffalo

(sorry, Bruce Banner**).

                

Ed Norton is kinda hard to replace. This guy ain't doin it for me. And he kinda looks like Donny Osmond* Again, just at first look.



 You go from the Bill Bixby/Lou Ferigno HULK....
(who honstly is a legend and kinda set the bar) 
 to Eric Bana, 
who wasnt horrible. I mean he was no Dolph Lungeren in Masters of the Universe...(ya know I could have gone on a Halle Berry tyrate but I will show sum Fanboy restraint...(deep breathing) and then Edward Norton just killed it! So this dude have a lot to live up to. 

Oh yeah, nice tag line by Robert Downey jr. "if we can't save the world, we can Avenge it!"



**For  those of you Fanboys and Fangirls  who  did  NOT grow up in the 70-80's;  The incredible Hulk TV series...
1977 to 1982.It starred Bill Bixby as Dr. David Banner and Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk.
The series is a cult classic.  The David Banner/Bruce Banner mix-up is out  of habit.... you see even tho as a Fanboy, I  am quite versed in the comic book history  of the Hulk, but  every Friday we were glued to the TV to  watch  The Incredible Hulk.....

The HULK's alter ego's name was changed from Dr. Bruce Banner, to Dr. David Banner. The CBS network executives thought that the name "Bruce" was deemed "too homosexual."....

Are you  kidding me? Has anyone ever heard of BRUCE WAYNE??  YOU  walk up to BATMAN and tell him his  name is homosexual, ad see what  happens! 

Not that  it  matters! No Fanboy would really care!!!. It  is an ICONIC comic book character brought to  life!! Instead of worrying about  the sexual affiliation of names, someone should have stopped Ben Aflec from ruining the DAREDEVIL franchise! 
 
Ben Aflec is more of a Blue Beetle or a Booster Gold
 NOT  a MATT MURDOCK/ DAREDEVIL!
But alas that  is a rant, for another time.... TOP TEN ACTORS/ACTRESSES WHO  SHOULD HAVE  NEVER DONNED A CAPE!

Goodnight Fanboys and Fangirls... I  leave you  with that  hauntingly sad music from The Incredible Hulk TV series..."David Banner is dead, and he must  let the world think that  he IS dead, until he can find a way  to  control the raging spirit that  dwells within him...."








 *ok, I  had to  add the Donny  Osmond Soldier of Love video!
