Here's why I have very little enthusiasm for The Avengers

1) They've been trying too hard to make "fetch" happen - the branding of all of the movies as The Avengers has made it seem like they're trying to pre-fabricate this whole process.
2) The whole "team of superheroes" just doesn't work for me. If you're a superhero, then you should be able to kick ass on your own. X-Men gets a little bit of a pass on this, but only because they were opposed by a team of equally strong supervillains. Which leads me to this.....
3) The minute that I really lost enthusiasm was when I found out that Loki was the villain in The Avengers. Wait a minute. You have to have an entire team brought together to fight one dude *who had already been defeated* in an earlier movie? Um, okaayyyyy....
I'm sure that it will be well done enough, but the individual parts of the whole haven't interested me that much before this point, and for a project that has tried overly hard to make everyone aware that *this is a project* every step of the way, the thing that brings them all together in the end seems pretty silly.
This is a wait-til-its-been-on-video-for-a-few-months one for me.
