This is the best that they could do? Really? While Avengers was a lot of fun, it had its fair share of issues - more than a blu-tooth bosessed government agency, anyway... ;)
The Honest Trailer guys liked Avengers, but were compelled to make an Honest Trailer out of it anyways, since... well, that's what they do. I think it's pretty good, but I don't know for sure because after about 20 seconds I stuck my fingers in my ears and started singing "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA" at the top of my lungs. Thanks to everyone who sent in the tip!

I was with this until they said Iron Man 2 sucked. Bad form, Honest Trailers. Bad form. >:(
I cried laughing at the character introductions, but I just groaned at the ending jab at girls. I know it was probably sarcastic and meant to incense people, but come on! Not cool.
So there WAS someone else in the world wondering how they were talking to each other during the battle.
I hereby proclaim/resort myself to being "The Riddler"!
The only way I may be known by my God given name of.... "EastOfTheAnduin"...is by being a "?Guest?".
For the only ID I have ever known, since like 1998, is automatically "unavailable".
Fuck You, My Voice.
As Connor MacLeod once proudly exclaimed, "There can be only One."
You may have stripped me of my own humanity, My Voice, but I shall forever fight...
Fuck you again, My Voice, Fuck You in your Shitty Ass...
well. I kind of thought maybe the nerd community was moving past that "dead inside or a girl" vein of humor. thanks.
Yeah there are plot holes and slightly obscure stitchings of storylines but that's rife in the original comics anyway. I can happily 'forget' all the little bits and enjoy The Avengers. If you want to pick holes in little things then you should probably just steer clear of the Marvel realm altogether, but I'd rather read/watch something incredibly fantastical than something logically sensible.
Films have had fully concealed earpieces for decades. I don't think Plantronics sponsorship extended enough to pay for the Avengers themselves to be all wearing them, but they probably had a clause saying no other headsets could be used.
Meh. This had moments of humour and moments where it pointed out something I missed (damn their missing earpieces), but overall this was a swing and a miss. And yes, Captain America is one of my favourite characters. "Or a girl" at the end is also brutal.

This is incredibly inaccurate. What the fuck? Iron Man 2 was not awful, Thor was fantastic, Captain America is an incredibly popular character, and if he's actually confused by any of the things he stated were confusing, then he's a fucking idiot. Beyond that, these are the main characters of The Avengers comics, minus Ant-Man and Wasp, but they're getting a movie for phase II, and the Fantastic Four are in no way a part of the Avengers. Not to mention that the Hulk's anger control was not only implied in the Hulk movie, but it's implied at the beginning of The Avengers as well. And stop saying the beginning of the movie was boring. It's called "building up", and it's how you make a goddamn movie. Fuck, this guy's an idiot.
I think it proves that we've all grown so much as nerds that we can take a roast of our communally most beloved nerd property ever and simply laughed along instead of taking the usual nerd-rage route. Take note, Topless Roboteer: be proud in the fact that a complete stranger on the interwebs acknowledged all of you as full-fledged adults. For what little that acknowledgement is worth, anyway.

BUT IT'S OMG GREATEST MOVIE EVAR DON'T CARE WHATCHU SAY
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!
and wowie zowie, the Vision, and the Red Skull! How the fuck is Avengers: EMH getting cancelled?!
MADNESS.
@RX178 Strangely on the Avengers DVD, they had ads for EMH, Ultimate Spider-man, and the whole block. I thought it was weird they included EMH since it's supposedly canceled. Maybe it's not completely dead?
@Friginator The plotting was a big mess with just too much going on. I lost it with Stark senior's little map of the magical cure-all element.

Funny, but that "dead inside or a girl" joke really sucks the fun out of the trailer. Nerds just can't rise above the old stereotypes.
The Avengers is a movie that is the kind of film that is so awesome otherwise you don't even care about the minor plot points that make no sense. I imagine a lot was left on the cutting room floor, not enough time to explain everything in the middle of a war. For what it is, I would dare any of the top 10 directors/producers on Earth to do any better than Whedon did with Avengers, this was a film begging for Whedon's masterful character building and solid action.
Was it accurate? Kind of. Was it hilarious? Absolutely? Do I still love every second of "The Avengers"? OMGYESNERDGASM

Crap, that seemed funnier before I remembered there was no edit function in case it looked physically too long. (Pun not originally intended. ;) ) Sorry guys.
The extra gibberish afterward was my original attempt at posting something and trying to fix thanks to the refresh. I didn't realize IT WOULD BE KEPT IN MY COMMENT BOX AND INCLUDED WITH THE NEW COMMENT ATTEMPT! {gnashing teeth} Even after LiveFyre literally crashed my Firefox. Everyone here can imagine how goofy it was to try to get this next comment posted. Although weirdly, the fatal refresh code seems to have stopped: I can type in the comment box now without having to copy-paste from elsewhere.
For what it's worth, I really did like your comment, Doctor. :)

That was great. I've never heard of Honest Trailers before, but I bet I'm gonna lose time on these soon.
I felt that this was more accurate:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqF1sYyTm-k&feature=g-all-u
HA! Yeah, that is a good question. Were they communicating telepathically? Somebody's hiding an ability.
@GarethPrime Star Trek-stly e communicators. They, uh, just forgot to show us how they got them.

@Lithroe It annoyed me by nit picking on things that weren't valid for anyone who paid attention to the stuff outside of the fight sequences. For example the fail-safe thing was actually explained in the movie and it makes sense, the Hulk/control thing is pretty much covered at the end of the Hulk movie, tesseracts are covered in the previous films, the Avengers comm/card system is well covered in outside media as well - did we really need a scene where everyone gets one of Tony Starks phone cards? Nope. I also don't understand the complaint about the beginning of the film being the boring part - the big FX battle at the end - yes, a bit dull, but the set up to the plot and character development - not boring. In fact the IM Thor fight was better than the end battle IMO - whose best parts were Hulk parts.
My other big complaint about the Avengers movie (aside from the ending) is that Hulk Trap. How is falling going to kill something that routinely gets thrown into stuff with far greater force a fall can impart? How was Thor even mildly concerned about it? He has taken far worse. Heck mundane folks have fallen from that height and survived.
@Gallen_Dugall @Lithroe Well, even if the Hulk-Trap didn't actually kill him, he wouldn't be on the Helicarrier anymore. Which would be the main reason they would drop him.

@Gallen_Dugall @Lithroe Ahhh, comm-card. That makes sense. That would have been nice to mention in passing. Thank you Gallen for filling in that hole.

@Gallen_Dugall @Lithroe I never really got the Hulk trap drop myself. I just assumed it would be more dropping the Hulk to keep the Helicarrier from being destroyed by a rampaging Hulk. I don't really know why Thor was worried about it. Maybe it was more getting mangled trap out of his hair?

@Someguy @Gallen_Dugall @Lithroe Seems likely just knowing they might encounter the Hulk again they would need a place to put him, so they built a cage just for him as a kind of Hulk drunk tank. Obviously SHIELD was content to let him hide in some shithole country with their watchful eye otherwise.
