Iron Man would most likely be the "important'' one to see, because it's probably the one that made them decide they could do an Avengers movie anyway. But, like everyone said, they're not turning away money at the door, and it's not a complex premise (see, some people have ability to do heroic stuff...) so it'll be *just* fine*. Millions of people will walk away without a better idea of who Hawkeye is, to boot.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Apparently one is a lady. (I'm sure that's all you need to know about her...)

Is The Avengers a bigger team for Marvel than the Fantastic Four? In my head, X-Men are Marvel's JLA--not in any sort of narrative parallel, just that they're the first team a random guy on the street would think of from their imprint.
What's the second?
Also, Joss is driving hard the outsider nature of this particular group of misfits. I'm not familiar enough with the comic to know if that's a constant, recent, pulled from history, or irrelevant to their paper canon--can anyone clarify for me?
I ask because X-Men is all about being outside of mainstream, and I was wondering if Marvel was truly most successful at that well (like, again, Spider-Man), and DC tends to do so much better with the cool kids.
Not entirely a movie question, but I like you guys.
