While it is accepted that all the Marvel ‘Avengers’ solo movies lead into the massive super hero team up film, there has been some inconsistency from fans as to which events came in what order. Obviously, Captain America’s World War II mission is before Tony Stark built his first Jericho missile, but when Did Thor fight The Destroyer and when did Hulk fight The Abomination? The answers may surprise you!
A book called The Art of Marvel’s The Avengers has the full time line spelled out in relation to the event of Tony Stark admitting he’s Iron Man. Goes back as fas as when Odin left the Cosmic Cube on Earth and leaders up to the very first scene in Avengers. Since many events overlap, there is never going to be a proper order to watch the films in, unless you want to sit at an edit bay and cut together a 10 hour movie of the 5 films before Avengers.
The video above has some great behind-the-scenes looks at the Hulk and the special effects that brought him to life. Mark Ruffalo had a much more active role than I would have imagined, wearing the motion capture suit on the set and actually participating in the fight with Thor. Very cool.
Spoilers ahoy! Do not listen beyond the 55 minute mark if you have not seen Avengers!
I’m joined again by Adam and Jim, with Sean and Captain Genius returning after several weeks away. We dig deep into the Avengers film series and hold a couple of inappropriate off topic discussions along the way. I also kept my promise to Jim to not make the podcast 2 hours long. 1:52:44 ain’t bad!
Hasbro has sent along two additional images to us. Each photo is of a 3 3/4 inch figure from the movie toyline for The Avengers. The two figures are soldiers in Loki’s army. One is a standard soldier, the other is part of a Power-Up Mission Pack with additional accessories including aerial speeder of some sort.
If you liked the teaser with Black Widow under interrogation, you may just like this new teaser for Marvel’s upcoming Avengers movie. In it, we see Loki (Tom Hiddleston) locked up in a cell having a conversation with Nick Fury (Samual L. Jackson).

Here are forty three seconds of Avengers. Sure, thats shorter than any of the trailers, but its an actual clip instead of a bunch of jump cuts from all over the movie.
Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is tied to a chair, seemingly captured by three men. She’s on the phone with Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), who delivers some bad news. Whatever plan she had up her sleeve is cut short when she starts beating up all three guys while still tied to the chair.
Director Joss Whedon loves to make his female characters spin around and kick dudes. I can’t decided if he’s as in to female empowerment as many have credited him, or simply thinks this is as totally hot as most of our male readership does.
Oh yes. You definitely read that right. JADS International has debuted a set of cologne scents for the Avengers and made the debut at Toy Fair 2012 in New York.
As seen above in the banner:
“Patriot Cologne, inspired by Captain America, pays homage to the confident, stand-up-to-bullies, hard-working average Joe in everyman. The cologne features hints of green lime and white pepper with finishes of dry oak wood, sandalwood and tequila.”
With Fear Itself over, Marvel has just announced the next big event, starting in April 2012 with a prelude issue in March. It will be a 12 issue biweekly series featuring the Avengers vs. X-Men. The series will be written by Marvel’s “Architects” Brian Michael Bendis, Jason Aaron, Ed Brubaker, Jonathan Hickman, and Matt Fraction.
