NOTES AND SCREENGRABS FROM THE AVENGERS TRAILER

 So yes, finally on the 11^th of October 2011, Marvel has released the first theatrical trailer for the Avengers.

If you have been living under a rock the size of Switzerland, you can check it out down here.

• We know Nick Fury has some kind of information on an impending threat either from Loki or someone else in a sequel, which is why he starts assembling the team.

Yeah, I'll take a Royale with cheese... (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• The general tone Mark Ruffalo’s Banner is being handled with seems similar to Norton’s, which will hopefully make this transition a lot smoother.

FML! (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• ScarJo farts fire.

(Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• What exactly is Loki doing under SHIELD custody? And why is Nick Fury stupid enough to think he can keep him there?

Now you see me... (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• Aaaaaand we have a Quinjet.

Who the hell put a flame-thrower on a plane?!!? (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• Stark’s armour looks pretty much the same from Iron Man 2.

(Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• My hopes are still up for the Hulkbuster armour, though.

Oh man this makes peeping at hotties so much easier! (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• Cap’s uniform looks much better in action than in the leaked set pics. There’s a lesson in this, folks.

Nah... too far away... (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• Sleeveless Thor!!!!!!

Is she looking? Maybe I should flex more... (Click to enlarge!)

• RDJ is awesome as always.

(Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• There appears to be an ego clash between Stark and Cap. This is consistent with Joss Whedon’s comments a couple of months ago about each of them considering themselves to be most qualified to be leader.

Oh yeah?! Well I'm taller shrimpy. (Click to enlarge!)

• Nick Fury + Bazooka = Win.

His cool-ness will blow you away. Literally. (Click to enlarge!)

• I wish we’d seen more of Hawkeye. All we’ve seen is him running around shooting arrows.

...And my bow. (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• Cap vs. Thor. Poor Cap.

Worst! Trust exercise! Ever! (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• At 1:29, we have the Quinjet flying past, wait for it, Stark frickin Tower.

(Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• At 1:31, Loki appears to have either the cosmic cube or the mind gem from the infinity gauntlet on top of his staff.

Haaaa-duken! (Click to enlarge awesome-ness!)

• More Stark one liners, it does look like he’ll be somewhat leading the movie, if not the team.

I'm sorry, can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am! (Click to enlarge!)

• Also, we finally have Ruffalo’s hulk. We don’t see much, but it thankfully looks to have more in common with Norton’s hulk than Bana’s.

I'm coloured like a giant booger dammit! (Click to enlarge)

•  Your move, DC!
