ScreenJunkies’ “Honest Trailers” series has been surprisingly good so far, and their latest edition celebrates today’s DVD release of The Avengers. Points include:
“Captain America, who just kinda has to be there…”
“The confusing energy source of the Tesseract [sp?], and its completely unjustified fail-safe…”
“A movie so fulfilling that you won’t remember that the first 45 minutes are actually kind of boring…”
It’s a lot of the same criticisms I brought up in my flame-inspiring review, which invoked a tidal wave of flabby hate from the neckbeards, despite the fact that I went to great pains to point out how much I liked it and gave it a B+. I think there’s some universal law of the internet that the more trivial the subject, the more impassioned the arguments about it. “My mom has cancer? Haha, good one, stranger. HOW F*CKING DARE YOU SAY SPOCK DIED IN STAR TREK II THAT WAS STAR TREK III I’LL F*CKING KILL YOU!!!”
I can’t believe they didn’t bring up Hawkeye and his stupid bow and arrow. Or when Loki called that guy a “mewling quim,” that owned.

Dammit Vince Spock died in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn and was ressurected in Star Trek III: The Search For Spock. Its fucking simple dude. Fuck.
This whole thing is awful though I was waiting for it to be funny and it never happened.
The Gay Bane part got a chuckle out from me.
The only part that i laughed at was “leather boobs.” just the way he says “boobs,” not the joke.
Vince is fishing for more hate mail to fill out the COTW post, just in case we have another lean week of funny commenting.
You might be on to something. Vince, let us know if you want us to just copy and paste comments from random sites. I know a home brewing forum that can’t get pretty crazy sometimes.
We’re here to help.
If I keep my neckbeard trimmed, is it possible I can escape Mancini’s wrath?
You must always remember the ancient law: No true fan of anything ever acknowledges that the thing he loves has flaws.
I loved The Avengers, and I admit it’s an imperfect movie, but that clip was not funny.
lmao i never noticed the ear piece thing…but it did seem a bit cynical. still liked it tho
You guys remember that one line that was so full of quimsy? Heh, good times.
Mewling Quim does not roll easily of the tongue.
It helps is you’re a cunning linguist…
this is the best thing I’ve seen all day
more of these pls
I would say the backlash on Burnsy’s Batman/Robin kerfluffle was more strident than the handful of humorless sycophantic tards that swung through the Avengers review.
GET DOWN OFF THAT CROSS MANCINI.
Movies are full of plot holes and non-logical events, that’s why they’re movies. This honest trailer wasn’t the best I’ve seen, but I do like the concept. Replace the voice over guy!
Mew Ling Quim? I prefer Bai Ling Quim.
