The hardest lines for me was that long speech he did on top of that hummer or tank.

Yeah. Spanish is our first language, and I've never moved to the US so I am not that used to hearing english. I mean...I can engage in conversation just fine, but some things are a little confusing and hard to catch. Especially people with heavy accents.

Ok, here is a question: Who has a better chance against Superman one on one? Hulk, Silver Surfer, or Thor?

That wasnt Silver Surfer out there!
Jus some guy in silver..

Zack Fair Fanboy

None of them want to brawl with Superman.

So Surfer. He has more options.

1. He is fine so long as he can remain intangible. He won't be harming Superman either so this will just be a stalemate.
2. He has a shot if he manages to absorb/trap Superman in his board. Though in all likelyhood he will simply get punched off the board before he can do anything and that will be GG.
3. He can do that suicidal move he used to kill Galactus. Don't know how effective that would be though.

Thor does..
Surfer was cheated in that FF garb of a movie..

Eh, come on now. I agree he rises above the average villain in the Thor movie [which mostly comes down to Hiddleston conveying emotion very well, especially at the end of the it], but he was bland and flat as f*ck in Avengers.

Loki is essentially a glorified crybaby with inferiority complex. Obviously nobody touches Joker (either Heath of Jack). But he's no Bane or Ra's al Ghul either. And I'm not sticking just with Nolan/Batman villains, either - Magneto (Ian Mckellen's version was a villain, Fassbender's not yet fully so) is objectively a much more complex, fully realized character.

Loki is in the upper echalon of comic book villain - roughly around top 5-8, but he's no 'second after Ledger'.

Yeah, Ian Mckellen owns Hiddleston.

Zack Fair Fanboy

Forgot all about Ian.

Lousy X-3 uhuh

Hugo Weaving as Red Skull is better as well.

Philosophía "The devil made me do it"

Meh. He didn't do anything for me. And that's sad, because Hugo Weaving is the shit.

Golgo13 Senior Member

I thought Hugo was the only good thing about Captain America. And the most memorable.

Philosophía "The devil made me do it"

He killed it in V for Vendetta [and Matrix], but yeah, he was not for me in Captain America. I'd put him at Green Goblin level, while Loki is more like Doctor Octopus' [though better].

Oh, damn! I forgot about Alfred Molina as Doc Ock! He was awesome, IMO. And still one of my favorite Super hero movies. SM 2.

Considering Surfer is far and away the most powerful Marvel movie character, probably Thor.

Also, Phil's opinion is garbage.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I will give DC credit on one thing. Their movies are generally MUCH more accurate on their character's actual power levels. Marvel movies have ALWAYS depowered their movie versions so much it's ridiculous. Now, it works and the Marvel movies have PROBABLY gotten more critical acclaim due to this; but yah....

Movie Magneto, Movie Thor and Hulk are all WAAAAYYYYY Underpowered for instance..

I have a feeling Marvel will amp up their game in the next Avengers movie.

Underpowered compared to what?

A good superhero movie should not be based on how powerful the characters are, lol.

Of course not. I think The Avengers was a great movie. I'm just saying, compared to their comic counterparts, Marvel movie characters are way underpowered.

Again, it works for the films because it doesn't ever get "Too" carried away. I don't see Marvel really "stepping it up" either....there is no need for them too. Their movies are on a roll.

As the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
