‘Avengers’ Trailer: ‘Walking Dead’ Creator Weighs In

Robert Kirkman tells MTV News, ‘I don’t know how this movie doesn’t make 10 trillion dollars.’ By Josh Wigler Scarlett Johansson in “The Avengers” Photo: Marvel Two days have passed since the first trailer for “Marvel’s The Avengers” burst its way online, and we still can’t get enough. From our own analysis of the trailer to commentary from assorted movie and comic book experts, we here at MTV News remain insatiable in our appetite for all things “Avengers.” It’s a good thing we’re not alone. Writer Robert Kirkman, creator of the “Walking Dead” comic books and executive producer of the AMC television series, is just as enamored with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes as we are — though he does have a few bones to pick with the first trailer. Kirkman, who is celebrating both the arrival of his first “Walking Dead” prose novel and the return of the television series this week, sat down with MTV News to take a big bloody bite out of the “Avengers” trailer. See what he had to say in our video, and read on for more of his thoughts. Loki’s Arrival Tom Hiddleston returns to the Marvel Universe as the trickster god Loki, this time terrorizing not just Thor, but his brother’s new earthly companions as well. But there’s something about his arrival in this first trailer that Kirkman thinks is a little bit off . “Loki’s hanging out in [some kind of alien chamber], and I don’t know … there are guys showing up, and he’s in this thing that’s not quite a prison cell, but he’s not in Asgard,” the writer said. “He’s standing there, but he’s not really doing anything. Then these guys show up, and he’s like, ‘I’m going to stab you!’ And didn’t these guys know he was going to stab them? I don’t know!” Getting Ready As the threat facing Earth grows increasingly apparent, Agent Coulson asks his supervisor, Nick Fury, what they need to do next. “We get ready,” is Fury’s stoic reply — a reply that doesn’t sit right with Kirkman. “Look, I’m very excited about this movie, and I think this trailer is very good, but is there not a better line than, ‘We get ready’?” he said. “Like, ‘What do we do now?’ ‘Well, we get ready! We’re going to put our shoes on and go do some stuff!’ I don’t get that. I’m sorry. I’m sure it’s going to be a fantastic movie, but I wish there had been a better line there, like, ‘We’re going to get these mother—-ing superheroes off of this mother—-ing planet.’ I don’t know. That would have been better … probably not appropriate, though!” Widow’s Pose Scarlett Johansson’s infamous pose in front of a massive explosion has had fans scratching their heads for some weeks now, and the “Avengers” trailer did little to explain her calm demeanor in the thick of the action. Kirkman, also confused, doesn’t seem to mind the shot: “There’s a thing exploding behind her, so clearly she’s in a fight or something, but she’s just standing there looking pretty — which is great!” Iron Man Sparkles in the Sunlight Even though most of the Avengers have had their chance to shine in their very own movies, there’s little debate that Iron Man remains the feather in Marvel Studios’ cap. Ol’ Shellhead is featured prominently throughout the “Avengers” trailer, often seen blasting off over the iconic New York City skyline. Kirkman was more than pleased to see the wealth of Iron Man action, so much so that he feels the red-and-gold hero could be put to good use in other movies. “I think you could put Iron Man in almost any movie, and I would go see it,” he said with a laugh. “Like, the new ‘Twilight’ movie. I’m not really into that stuff, but if you put Iron Man flying in the new ‘Twilight’ movie, I’m totally going to go see that movie!” Stark’s Facial Hair Still, if there’s one critique Kirkman has for Tony Stark, it’s the billionaire industrialist’s goatee. The eternally bearded Kirkman knows a thing or two about facial hair, and he simply does not approve of Stark’s look. “If you look at the way that goatee is designed, people are going to get that tattooed on their backs at some point,” he predicted. “It looks like some kind of weird tribal spaceship design or something. It irks me.” Rocket Launched Already sold on the “Avengers” trailer, Kirkman’s enthusiasm for the superhero flick only grew at the sight of Nick Fury wielding a rocket launcher. Easily one of the standout scenes of the trailer, Fury’s explosive appearance nevertheless struck Kirkman as a bit unnecessary — and a lot awesome . “You don’t need to have Samuel L. Jackson shooting a rocket launcher,” he reasoned. “That’s not necessary . This already looks like a good movie, and I’m probably going to see it anyway. But at the point that Samuel L. Jackson shoots a rocket launcher, I think to myself, ‘I’m probably going to see this movie twice .’ ” Hulked Out Another immediate selling point for Kirkman? The trailer’s final shot, which gives us our first look at Mark Ruffalo’s Jade Giant. “‘Oh, by the way, the Incredible Hulk is also in this movie.’ Which, to me, is ridiculous,” Kirkman said, laughing. “How much money do you want to spend on this movie? You got us! To add the Hulk on top of that, I don’t know how this movie doesn’t make 10 trillion dollars. I think James Cameron’s going to have a hard time topping this one’s box office when he comes back to do his next movie.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Avengers.” For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com .

‘Avengers’ Trailer: Experts Weigh In

We asked movie and comic book experts to analyze first official trailer. By Josh Wigler Samuel L. Jackson in “The Avengers” Photo: Marvel The first trailer for “The Avengers” is finally here, offering our best look yet at what director Joss Whedon has in mind for when Earth’s Mightiest Heroes gather together on the big screen in May. For many fans, the trailer delivered on all its promises: extensive looks at the team in action, creepy narration from Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and even Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury stepping onto the battlefield with a bazooka in tow. For other fans — let’s just say the sweet melodic stylings of Nine Inch Nails wasn’t exactly what they had in mind for the trailer’s soundtrack, among other grievances. To get a better sense at what fans are thinking regarding the “Avengers” trailer, MTV News reached out to film and comic book experts across the blogosphere to weigh in with their thoughts on the latest Marvel teaser. The overall verdict, with few exceptions, is that the trailer is a rollicking success. “I’m a guy who likes to deal in specifics, and what I can say specifically is I honestly liked all of it,” said Jonah Weiland, executive producer at Comic Book Resources . “Sets an incredible tone and gives us a glimpse of the dynamic between the core members (I’m sure we’ll find out more about Black Widow and Hawkeye in due time). The action looks intense, but most importantly the characters all look like they ‘fit’ together — frankly, that’s one of the biggest challenges with this ‘team movie’ concept Marvel has been building to and it appears on first glance like they’ve succeeded in a major way.” NextMovie ‘s Kevin Polowy agreed that the “Avengers” trailer was the home run he was hoping for. “First off, I’m just relieved there’s some meat to it,” he said. “This is leaps and bounds beyond the unrevealing teaser trailer I think a lot of fans feared. Instead, we’re treated to glimpses of all the Avengers as well as Nick Fury and Loki, not to mention plenty of other bells and whistles: Menacing narration, cars blowing up, rocket launchers, trademark Tony Stark snark, more cars blowing up … lots of cars blow up in this trailer. Plus a look at that ‘rage monster’ the Hulk! I thought it rocked. This is really going to bring the house down at New York Comic Con.” From the perspective of HitFix ‘s Gregory Ellwood, Marvel hit the nail on the ol’ Shellhead when it comes to the movie’s big selling point. “It was fantastic to see Iron Man flying through the air again — Marvel knows how they are going to open this movie, and it’s with him,” he said. “The Downey Jr./Banner moment was cute (boy are those guys short, though), Hemsworth’s charm is always infectious, Sam Jackson is kickin’ ass like there are some snakes everywhere, Black Widow is in the house, we get our first glimpse of an Avengers Quinjet and a shot of Cap and Thor coming to blows.” But there are some areas the “Avengers” trailer did not deliver on, according to the experts, like getting the chance to spend more time with Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye, whose only previous Marvel credit is a brief cameo in “Thor.” “It would’ve been nice to see a little bit more Hawkeye,” said Caleb Goellner, senior editor at Comics Alliance . “I understand that the ‘Big Three’ and Black Widow are the established characters with the biggest draw, but what can I say? I like arrows.” Ellwood agreed, adding a dearth of Black Widow to his list of critiques: “It would be fantastic if Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner actually had a chance to speak. Although, obviously, many fans of the Black Widow might not care.” Another potential area of weakness: the movie’s central threat. Though we know Loki is the big bad in charge during “The Avengers,” we’re still in the dark as to the power he possesses. As Newsarama ‘s Lucas Siegel pointed out: “What’s the big threat? We saw Loki, who Thor took down on his own, and … exploding cars. It would’ve been nice to have a little bit more direct of a ‘big threat’ shown.” Having said that, Siegel added: “Of course, that’s what we all want to see, but it could also be a great thing to save for the movie itself.” “All in due time,” Weiland agreed regarding Marvel’s decision to withhold certain bits of key information. “This certainly isn’t the last trailer for this movie.” It certainly isn’t. Asked what they were most looking forward to seeing next from the Avengers, many of the experts agreed upon a certain shade of green. “Hulk, Hulk, Hulk!” Weiland said. “It’s a safe bet that some — if not much — of the NYC destruction seen in the trailer is caused by the Hulk and, look, we all want to see Hulk rampage. Sure, we got some of that in those two films, but I’m pretty sure in Joss Whedon’s hands, he’ll make those previous Hulk movies look like an episode of ‘My Little Pony.’ ” Another frequently cited item on the wish list: confirmation of Loki’s allies, long rumored to be the Skrulls, an alien race of shape-shifters prominently featured in Marvel Comics. “I’d like the next trailer to further tease what kind of threat the Avengers will face in 2012,” Goellner said. “Skrulls? Robots? Elves? Whatever it is, I want to know the team is up against more than Loki and some city streets exploding.” “Of course everyone still wants to know who’s helping Loki wreak havoc on Earth,” Polowy agreed. “Clearly some sort of intergalactic posse’s got his back. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Whedon and company keep that under wraps for as long as they can.” But if there’s one thing the experts could all agree upon? “Just the whole darn movie,” Siegel exclaimed. “Can’t wait!” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Avengers.” For breaking news and previews of the latest comic book movies — updated around the clock — visit SplashPage.MTV.com .

‘Avengers’ Trailer: Five Key Scenes

We break down our first good look at the superhero supergroup. By Eric Ditzian and Josh Wigler Chris Hemsworth in the “Avengers” trailer Photo: Marvel The first full trailer for “The Avengers” is here, though at first glance, it seemed much more like the work of Michael Bay — a little citizens-ominously-watching-the-skyline “Armageddon” here, a bit of city-block-destroying “Transformers” there — than the handiwork of Marvel and writer/director Joss Whedon. But that voice-over you hear in the beginning (the one assuring us humans were made to be ruled) is none other than Loki, who makes his first appearance about 20 seconds into the new footage, kick-starting a furious visual procession of superheroes, superheroes and more superheroes. While the trailer didn’t deliver everything we were hoping for — nor did it have the ineffable coolness we might have expected — it gave us a whole lot of Marvel goodness to unpack, which we did with another MTV News expert trailer analysis: Loki, Located We’ve known for a long time that Loki is the central villain in “Avengers,” though whether other villains pop up to wreak havoc (like those persistent rumors about the alien Skrulls ) remains to be seen. What we didn’t know was how Loki would travel to Earth, considering the Rainbow Bridge — that mythic intergalactic transporter — was destroyed at the end of this summer’s “Thor.” Yet in that film, before tumbling into some kind of cosmic abyss, Loki announces there are other ways to get to Earth besides the Rainbow Bridge. In this early shot of Loki crouching in a warehouse, we see what just might be the bad guy’s new mode of space transportation. What exactly this “Stargate”-esque contraption is remains to be seen. Turbulence When Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor and the rest of the Avengers assemble, they have to do so in style. In Marvel lore, when they take to the sky, they do so in a super-slick aircraft called the Quinjet, which flies overhead around the 55-second mark of the trailer. So that’s cool. Except the sucker’s on fire and looking like it’s about to crash-land in Manhattan, perhaps as part of the epic urban battle the trailer teases again and again. We can’t say for certain it’s Quinjet — it could be a Skrullian craft — but we doubt it, based on visual comparisons to the comics and the fact that the jet just doesn’t look alien. But do the Skrulls have a hand in the Quinjet’s fiery situation? Or is that all thanks to Loki? Hmmm … This Is Assembling? Who are we kidding? We wanted to see the Avengers assemble — not around the boardroom, table but in action. And the trailer, in this respect, just doesn’t deliver. Alas, the shot (around one minute, 11 seconds in) of our heroes in a lab is the best look at the team together. Hawkeye isn’t even there. Black Widow is mostly hidden. Captain America and Iron Man aren’t even in their suits. Bruce Banner is just Bruce Banner, no hint of the hidden green beast within. We appreciate that Whedon is a writer who loves to pen a witty exchange between characters — we get a lot of that in the trailer, and we’re not complaining — but we also maintain Marvel missed a chance in the trailer to show off the Avengers assembling for the first time in an unforgettable way. Thor vs. the Captain? At about the one-minute, 25-second mark, we have what looks like Thor battling Captain America. Now, the simple explanation is that these Avengers don’t always get along and, hey, even superheroes might come to blows with one another from time to time. No harm, no foul. But here’s a little conspiracy theory for ya: The Skrulls are notorious shape-shifters, and we just might be seeing one of them taking on the guise of an Avenger. So what we might — and we can’t emphasize might enough — be seeing is actually a Skrull-vs.-Avenger throw-down. That kind of can-you-trust-your-buddy paranoia could be a lot of fun to play with in the film. Say Hello to Your Hulk We’ve seen Mark Ruffalo in character as Bruce Banner before. What we haven’t seen — and what honestly makes the whole trailer worthwhile — is this first look at Banner transformed into the Hulk. Ruffalo has spoken often about how his Hulk will be a motion-capture creation modeled on the actor himself. So can we see the Oscar-nominated Ruffalo lurking somewhere inside the green beast? Hard to say in so brief a glimpse. We’ll have to wait to see more “Avengers” footage, which we can’t wait for and which is the clearest indication that for all our quibbles, the trailer is a superheroic success.

Myth-Busting History Lesson: Everyone Already Knew The Earth Was Round When Columbus Set Sail

Let’s get the facts straight on this fake holiday. First of all, we all know the original travesty: Columbus and his people came to America and killed all of the Native Americans and took their land. But there’s another travesty in the Columbus history. The idea that Christopher Columbus sailed across the world to prove that it was round was a big myth started by Washington Irving in his 1828 biography of the “discoverer”. Irving wrote a semi-fictional biography of Columbus and included that lie, which our teachers only perpetuate every day. In fact, as far back as Aristotle, people knew the world was round. So when your kid comes home from school talking about Columbus proving that the Earth was round, give him or her a history lesson and reveal the truth! All Columbus did was come to America and help lead the charge of Europeans killing and taking the land that wasn’t theirs. The End.

Nirvana’s Nevermind, By The Numbers

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic album, we crunch the numbers to measure its huge impact. By James Montgomery Kurt Cobain Photo: Michel Linssen/Redferns Twenty years ago today (September 24), Nirvana released Nevermind, and the world hasn’t been the same since. The album would go on to usher in rock’s great renaissance, cause a seismic shift in popular culture, bring the underground to the mainstream and make unwilling stars out of three rather scruffy guys from the Pacific Northwest (OK, so Dave Grohl was technically from Northern Virginia, but he lived in Seattle while they were making the album). And while we’d like to say the earth shifted slightly on its axis the moment that first box of Nevermind s was cracked open, we’d be exaggerating. Back then, Nirvana were relative unknowns, and with popular music dominated by the likes of Whitney Houston, Natalie Cole and Color Me Badd (not to mention rock behemoths like Metallica and Guns N’ Roses), the odds of them making an impact of any sort seemed long, at best. Of course, we all know how things turned out. All week long, we’ve been paying tribute to Nevermind ‘s 20th anniversary on MTVNews.com, but today, the album’s actual birthday, we’ve decided to honor its legacy in a slightly different way: by crunching the numbers. Because unlike the countless biographies, as-told-to features and behind-the-scenes tell-alls that came in the album’s wake, the numbers don’t exaggerate: Nevermind was (and still is) huge. Even if it probably never was supposed to be. Here are some vital stats about Nirvana’s seminal album: 7,305 : Number of days since Nevermind was released. In case you’re wondering, that’s 175,320 hours, or 10,519,200 minutes, or 631,152,000 seconds. 46,521 : Number of copies of Nevermind originally shipped to retailers by Geffen Records, which hoped the album would eventually sell 200,000 copies. 144 : Nevermind’s debut position on the Billboard Top 200. 9 : Number of weeks after its release that Nevermind was certified platinum (for shipment of 1 million units) by the Recording Industry Association of America. 1 : Nevermind ‘s position on the Billboard Top 200 during the week of January 11, 1992, when it overtook Michael Jackson’s Dangerous to become the nation’s highest-selling album. 253 : Total number of weeks Nevermind spent on the Billboard Top 200. 30 million : Number of copies Nevermind has sold, worldwide. In the U.S., it’s certified as diamond by the RIAA, for shipment of 10 million copies. 0 : Number of Grammys Nevermind won (it was nominated for two). 4:30 : Total length of first single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” The album version runs 5:01, making it the second-longest song on Nevermind (after aptly named hidden track “Endless, Nameless”). 9 : Number of times Kurt Cobain shouts “a denial” at the end of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” 6 : Highest position “Smells Like Teen Spirit” held on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. $670 million : Amount, in cash and stock, Colgate-Palmolive paid to acquire Mennen, manufacturers of Teen Spirit anti-perspirant, in February 1992, six months after the release of “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” 2 : Fragrances of Teen Spirit currently available: “Sweet Strawberry” and “Pink Crush.” During the height of the brand’s popularity, there were as many as 10. $30,000-$50,000 : Estimated budget of the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video . $7 million : Estimated budget of Michael and Janet Jackson’s “Scream” video, widely reported to be the most expensive of all time. 18-25 : Age of extras in the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” video, according to the casting call . Extras were instructed to “adapt a high-school persona, i.e. preppy, punk, nerd, jock” and “be prepared to stay for several hours.” 4 : Number of nominations “Smells Like Teen Spirit” received at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards. It won two, for Best Alternative Video and Best New Artist in a Video. 1 : Number of nominations “Weird” Al Yankovic’s “Smells Like Nirvana” received at the same show. $50,000,000 : Amount earned by the Kurt Cobain Estate in 2006, when he topped Forbes magazine’s annual Top-Earning Dead Celebrities list 12 years after his suicide. MTV News reveals the Nevermind You Never Knew , celebrating the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s definitive album with classic footage, new interviews and much more.
