a heavy layer of "fish-out-of-water" attempts at comedy.
I have to admit that part of me (a tiny part, but still) wanted to see just one Austin Powers fish-out-of-water moment with Captain America in The Avengers.
Obviously it would have been awful, but that part of my brain that loves the wrong, awful things (canned powdered cheese food product, NEVER LEAVE ME) wanted to see it.
(I actually think the combo of Joss writing and Evans acting could have pulled it off, but this movie had no place for a scene like that. Fangirl!Teppy is 100% happy with the movie. Weird-brain!Teppy wanted to see Cap deal with an iPod. No -- with ANGRY BIRDS on an iPod.)
(I know. I can't explain my brain.)

There needs to be a third after-credits scene of this. And Hulk playing with an iPad.

Banner trying to play Angry Birds and getting so pissed he Hulks out.
I loved "so I married an axe murderer" but that was the last Meyers I liked.
I think the Big Bad for
Avengers II
should be the Green Pigs.
I said Dark Shadows looked sort of Addams Family-esque to me after the first trailer! But it sounds like that might be the best case scenario. The Addams Family isn't really campy.
I saw the Austin Powers movies but I was never really moved to see them again. Although Ben and S. do the whole "schmoke and a pancake" bit a lot. And, you know, the sharks with frigging laser beams on their heads. I did love Seth Green in those.
Spoilery Avengers interview answer (don't mouse over).
io9: Are you worried about perpetuating the "Joss Whedon kills your favorite character" stigma, with what you did to Agent Coulson in The Avengers?
Joss Whedon: In our first meeting Kevin Feige said, this is what we're gonna do and I said, "Oh but you have to go out there and tell everybody that it was your idea because this is going to get me so much shit. Because they are all going to be like, "Oh he did it again!" It was stipulated from the beginning, and I completely agree that it was the right thing to do, and so did Clark. Who said in the early days, when I was busy apologizing for it, "In a movie like this, with what's going on if there isn't some toll, it's just irresponsible story telling."
So there's that. Heh.

Pretty much same here. I did used to quote some things, including; "Try the Hot Pockets, they're breathtaking" and "Bring in ze CLONE!!!"
The Addams Family isn't really campy.
The joy in those movies for me is everyone around the Addams is doing the fish-out-of-water thing and the Addams are being as kind as possible to all the people who just don't get it.

To steal Teppy's idea from a couple hundred posts back, I want the Hulk to be good at it.
On the other hand? I would like a hulk sized iPad on an easel in my office.
