I will be completely in the dark by the time “The Avengers” comes out, mostly absent from the internet and away from any promotions. So this frustrates me… what is your army? Why haven’t we seen it?

Of course, the knee-jerk jackals are winning, because if there are whole chunks of missing footage from the ads detailing the OTHER threat in this film, people are going to focus on how cheap the entire endeavor looks, how manufactured the drama seems to be in bite-sized ads, and how Joss Whedon’s visual style is about as evolved as a TV veteran working on his second movie would be.

So on one level, I’ll be thrilled to go into the theaters and discover it’s the Skrulls! Or Thanos! Or Red Skull! Or someone! On another level, I’ll be frustrated that I will spend five months just NOT KNOWING.

What can I say? Make mine Marvel.
