I don't think we've ever got a Lucky Jim reference in the Cap movie, so unless Marvel Studious get back Spider-Man I highly doubt we will ever see that in Live-Action form

Well before I saw the Avengers I marathoned IM2/TIH/CA/Thor and even X-Men 1st class since I hadn't seen it and i was in a Marvel mood. I didn't have a lot of time and well IM doesn't set up the Avengers that much besides the 1 minute secret ending.

I still enjoy IM2 even if it's more of the same from the first movie. TIH I enjoyed more this time, I still think the first Hulk film is better but I liked it more, not too crazy about how the Hulk is here, I'd love to see a new Hulk movie with the way he is portrayed in the Avengers, though I don't like their Banner as much. Captain America was not bad, but not an amazing film, I kind of expected a bit more but I guess overall it worked, I remember hearing and not just a rumor that we'd see the Defenders (The submariner and the first human torch) but I guess that wasn't true. Overall an alright superhero movie. Thor I wasn't looking forward to much and I enjoyed it more than Captain America. Neither of those films were a second "Iron Man" to really give much of a reason to watch Avengers though. I still feel that it's Iron Man alone that is carrying most of the hype for the movie, I also feel the secret endings got worse with each movie culminating with Captain America just having a trailer for the Avengers instead of a real secret ending. Finally I saw First class which was actually the Marvel movie I was looking forward the most last year and wow it totally surprised me, it's not only the best Marvel movie from last year and the best X-Men movie but I also enjoyed it much more than the Avengers, can't wait for a sequel though it works fine stand alone.

I keep hearing people say this online but I really don't see it this way, I actually really like it and don't see it as a commercial to the Avengers, it works fine as a story.

Why the hell would they shackle Spider-man with Ghost Rider? Besides it not making any damn sense from a thematic sense, Ghost Rider movies don't make any money. All they would be doing is hurting their Spider-man cash.

I want to hear a coherent pitch for a X-men/F4/Daredevil crossover. Seriously. I want someone to try and make sense out of that mess.

Why would they do that? because of $$$, if the Avengers is a hit then they'll want a piece of that crossover goodness. How can you get them meeting up in a story make any sense, well I guess you can say the same about the Avengers, no matter how much they tried to set it up in the other movies it still felt somewhat forced in the actual movie, and a generic threat of alien attack was all it needed for it to happen, no reason why Fox or Sony might not want to try their take on it.

A Daredevil, X-Men, and Fantastic Four crossover makes no sense.

The X-Men and FF movies are all on a "global" scale. The entire planet is at risk, so they could possibly team up to fight against SOMETHING. Daredevil is the opposite of that. It's all in one city and doesn't leave. There aren't the same stakes.

And why the hell would Sony put Spider-Man and Ghost Rider in the same movie? Spirit if Vengance was critically panned, and unsucsessful. Not to mention that ASM could go either way for them. I doubt that it won't be successful, but still.

The Avengers worked in the comics, and was explained well enough in all of the Marvel Studios films. It makes more sense than any of the other options of yours.

That is exactly my problem with Iron Man 2. It was okay as an action flick and all that, but as far as story goes it really was just "Hey guys, Avengers coming soon!" More than anything to me. I loved the first Iron Man but the second is really disappointing to me.
