Apart from some guy getting stabbed in the eye with a pen, I really don't care much for Comic Con and all the hype around it. However, there are a few things that come out of each year's festival that I usually find exciting. The introduction of "The Avengers" cast from Marvel is probably the coolest thing that happened this year. Yeah, it wasn't really a secret and everyone was split over Edward Norton being denied the chance to return as The Hulk, but if you watch the video below, it's still exciting to see all these well known faces come out on stage, being introduced with their super-hero title. Here we have from left to right "Iron Man", "Agent Coulson", "Black Widow", "Thor", "Captain America", "Nick Fury", "Hawkeye", "The Hulk", and director Joss Whedon. Although this movie won't be coming out till 2012, we have "Thor" to look forward to with Chris Hemsworth bringing the god of thunder to life in 2011 and then Chris Evans will star as "Captain America" in the same year. These two movies will give audiences a taste of what's to come with "Avengers". It's one powerhouse of a cast with the presence of Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Renner, and Mark Ruffalo. Every nerd in the world is crossing their fingers and shaking uncontrollably for 2012. Will they be disappointed? Whedon's record doesn't really impress me that much even though I haven't seen "Serenity" or the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. Even if this movie doesn't live up to the majority of expectations or movie criteria in general, I still think it'll be awesome to see all these actors/actresses on screen together. (I also like how Downey Jr. acts exactly the same in real life as every character he's played in a movie).
