I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

I could see that for Thor (alien) and the Hulk. I don't know the Black Widow or Hawkeye's stories well enough to say. Tony Stark doesn't seem very outsider-y to me, though. Rich, white, male US industrialist, doesn't want the guv'ment to touch his stuff, has issues with an emotionally distant daddy . . . aside from being in the 1%, being the best in his tech field, and using his privilege and power for good, he's pretty much the gold standard insider.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think Tony Stark is more an outsider in terms of the superhero community. Doesn't he even have a line to that effect in the trailer? ("I don't play well with others," something like that? Basically asking Nick Fury why he would want Tony on the team, since he's such a Batman lone wolf vigilante?

EW has the or rather one of the songs that Arcade Fire contributed to the Hunger Games' soundtrack.
