Different writers and directors, all playing in the same sandbox.
But produced by the same studio and always with the ultimate goal of putting them together at the end.
So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And that, I think, is something new and cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Given exactly how much of the Marvel universe will never appear in there (but will have movies), I dunno, it never pinged me as anything.

And Kirby built that sandbox. It's not like Iron Man & Captain America & Hulk & Thor were created by a bunch of different people, and were completely unrelated stories until now.
I'm sorry, I really don't understand what's unique. I mean... Avengers is clearly part of a franchise. It's not a franchise built around a single character, but that doesn't make it not-a-franchise.

Of course not. Like Hec said, this sort of thing is done in books and comics all the time. I'm saying that it's cool to see it done in movies.

Okay. I'm not really sure how else to present it, because I think it is.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Aw, that's fantastic that Collins liked the finished product so much. It's opening soon, right? I can't wait!

My tickets are for 9:40 on the 24th, and my t-shirt shipped yesterday! I'll have to fit in a re-read, but otherwise, my body is ready...
