So lengthy, San Francisco. A brand new trailer for Marvel’s Avengers premiered at New York Comic Con on the finish of final week, lastly taking us away from the Golden Gate’s newest mishap. Instead, we’ve received new plot particulars, a prolonged time-skip and new main woman Ms Marvel (AKA Kamala Khan) punching her manner via a military of goons with these huge mitts of hers.
It’s a sensible transfer to have a hero who’s fashionable within the comedian books however has but to indicate up within the motion pictures. I’m certain she’s a well-rounded character, sure, but it surely’s good to lastly cease evaluating a lead on this game to a Hollywood millionaire.
It’s been 5 entire years for the reason that events of the last trailer – and for those who weren’t sizzling on Captain America’s dad bod look, congratulations. He appears to have corked it on the finish of that sequence, and the Avengers have all scattered. Now the world’s all gone a bit X-Men, outlawing “Inhumans” as sick, harmful, a menace to society.
That’s a little bit of an issue for you, Kamala Khan, Avengers superfan and unwilling proprietor of a pair of completely titanic arms. Truly colossal mitts, these. Reckoning the Avengers have been arrange, Khan units off to get the band again collectively. She’ll be the point-of-view protagonist all through Marvel’s Avengers, and we see her meet up with Bruce Banner and Tony Stark (shaven and unshaven tech dad, respectively). Despite the loss of life of their pal and life underneath an oppressive company regime, there’s nonetheless time for that all-too-comfy Marvel patter to lighten the temper.
Let’s get this out the best way. Yes, Crystal Dynamics’s heroes bear extra resemblance to their fairground painting knock-offs than the silver display. But perhaps by advantage of being scripted cutscenes, the patter on this video isn’t fairly as dire as we’ve seen beforehand. It’s no comedy gold, however there’s nothing significantly dreadful to scoff at. It’s all as secure and inoffensive because the movie franchise it’s aping.
There’s a little bit of bashing thugs with titanic fists between the banter, juggling foes with hefty kicks and punches. It does all look simply as comfortably superb because the writing, thoughts. Serviceable, perhaps even satisfying, however nothing to put in writing residence about.
I may not be the most important fan of Marvel flicks (I feel I noticed Iron Man? Was {that a} good one?). But I’m quietly ready for Crystal Dynamics to indicate us one thing a lot weirder and wilder than they’ve proven off to this point. There’s nonetheless loads of time for the devs to play their full hand earlier than Marvel’s Avengers hits on May 15th, 2020.
