Transformers returns & a creeper is peeking in on Princess Bubblegum as she sleeps!

This week in the world of cartoons, Adventure Time somehow tops last week’s George Takei creepiness with a peeping Tom controversy, Transformers: Prime returns with Shockwave taking center stage, and Pops eats some strange donuts and moves to a different plane of existence on Regular Show. Ultimate Spider-Man, Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and Gravity Falls…

What if the Avengers and the Justice League starred in samurai movies?

Just for kicks, artist Alex Mitchell gave Earth’s Mightiest Heroes a makeover in the style of chambara films, or samurai period dramas. Among those on his Avengers squad are a Hulk who subdues his monstrous side with paper talismans, a Captain America who battles with a steel-reinforced parasol to avoid killing his foes, and a…

Must Watch: Joss Whedon’s Alternate Opening Sequence for The Avengers

Joss Whedon shot a whole different opening to The Avengers that starts with a debriefing of one very pissed off Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders). This version perfectly demonstrates the fractured relationship between Nick Fury and Hill (something the director mentioned was cut down quite a bit in the edit room). We suspect the DVD will…

The Avengers gag reel assembles a lot of laughs

Things we learned from The Avengers gag reel: Joss Whedon is excellent at breaking up fights, Captain America is adorable, Loki is the master of many voices, and Hawkeye doesn’t know beans about Star Trek. Taken from the soon-to-be-released Avengers DVD, this might actually be the most hilarious bloopers footage we’ve ever seen. EDIT: Video…

From Russia, a flying model of the Helicarrier from The Avengers

We previously saw Russian quadrotor hobbyist Native118‘s take on the DeLorean from Back to The Future: Part II. Now, check out his models of both the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier from The Avengers and the Hunter-Killer Aerials from the Terminator films. The third clip — with the synthesizer score and smoke — hits me square in the…

Avengers deleted scene gets inside the mind of the Incredible Hulk

Turns out the awesome Bruce Banner moment with Harry Dean Stanton was a bit longer than what we saw on the big screen. Here’s the first ever deleted scene from The Avengers DVD, showing the Hulk getting introspective.

Think Women Don’t Love Superheroes? You’re nuts.

Writer Kelly Sue DeConnick is taking on Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers, for a relaunched comic book. (And this comes at a time when Carol Danvers is rumored to appear in the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie, setting up a possible role in Avengers 2.) Over at Hero Complex, there’s a great interview with…

Is this what Vision might look like in Avengers 2?

Positively bupkis has been confirmed concerning the plot of Avengers 2, but that hasn’t stopped either semi-ludicrous casting rumors or fan speculation. To this end, sculptor Jim has created a model of what the Avenger’s lachrymose android Vision could look like in Joss Whedon’s Avengers 2. Spoilers ahead (but nearly everyone on the planet’s seen…

What if movie Captain America had the body of comic book Captain America?

Superheroes are supposed to have Olympian physiques, but this is plum disturbing. I chanced upon this image while writing today’s piece about Deadpool. As you can see here, Ultraculture has applied the body proportions — not unlike Rob Liefeld’s infamous 1990s illustration of busty Captain America — to Chris Evans’ human frame. The super-soldier serum…

Poorly translated subtitles from a Chinese bootleg of The Avengers are amazing

Bootleggers often and inadvertently take creative liberties with their pirated wares — remember when Thor guest-starred on Game of Thrones? A similar phenomenon occurred with a Chinese bootleg copy of The Avengers acquired by Tumblr user Bileto. https://gizmodo.com/in-the-bootleg-game-of-thrones-thor-hangs-out-with-hou-5914374 In these tenuously translated subtitles, Thor and Loki (a.k.a. “Rocky”) are half-cousins/half-brothers, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are questing…

Why Joss Whedon’s Exclusive Marvel Contract Could Actually Be a Big Deal

You’ve already heard that Joss Whedon was directing Avengers 2 and creating a new Marvel TV series, set in the Avengers universe. So the announcement, a while later, that Whedon had actually signed an exclusive three-year contract to work for Marvel seemed like a minor detail. Except for one thing. https://gizmodo.com/joss-whedon-to-direct-avengers-2-and-develop-a-new-tv-s-5932683 The three year contract,…

Hawkeye isn’t thrilled he spent most of The Avengers as Loki’s meat puppet

A member of The Avengers feels left out! Hawkeye (played by Jeremy Renner) is not thrilled that he spent most of his screen time in The Avengers as a mindless, bow-wielding goon for Loki. The actor told the LA Times that he spent 90% of the movie as a character he didn’t sign on to…

Joss Whedon to direct Avengers 2 and develop a new TV show

It’s apparently official: Disney just announced that not only is Joss Whedon returning to The Avengers for a second movie — he’s also developing a Marvel TV show that is set to air on ABC. (Probably in the fall of 2013, at the soonest.) Variety’s Marc Graser tweeted: So we’re guessing that this TV show…

And his herald, the Silver Surfer. [See update below.] In a nutshell, here’s…
