Watch the one-minute Avengers Superbowl ad

Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Sunday, February 5, 2012

The Superbowl commercial for May's release of The Avengers has blasted its way online. If you missed seeing it during the big game, here's your opportunity to make up for that mistake -- or watch it a second time. Or a third. Fourth? Fifth??

 

 

I give it an 8 outta 10. Definitely the payoff comes when you see the spin-around showing the team with their backs against each other in the middle of downtown Manhattan mayhem. And Tony Stark's (Robert Downey Jr.) line to Loki (Tom Hiddleston)? Nicely delivered and then showcased in action.

This ad probably just made the Avengers movie an extra $30 million dollars opening weekend.

Are those frost giants at the 0:30 second mark? Couldn't tell, but that's what it looks like. Their boots have three toes. The frost giant toys from the Thor line have a human number of toes--as far as I can tell, anyway. Not that they'd have to have the same number of toes on their mech boots as they have on their feet.

Whatever the case, they don't look like Skrulls. 

Hulk looks like Hulk, at least.

My best guess is that Loki made a deal with the same alien race in the Avengers Ultimate universe (called the Chitauri) and in exchange for them getting to ransack the planet, Loki gets their muscles. Frost giants don't have energy weapons and spaceships.

Again, just my best guess. I don't have inside intel for this one.

No matter where you go, there you are.

Am I the only one deeply disappointed in Cap's costume? How could they get it so right on his movie and (in my opinon) get it so wrong in this one. It looks like he's wearing a bunch of felt that's been patched together. This Cap costume looks like what I expect a fanboy to wear to a comic-con :(

I expect theaters will be full of fans chanting "OMG Hawkeye!" throughout the entire movie. That's what they were doing through his scene in Thor, anyway.
