The Avengers trailer is here

Set your nerd boners to turgent, 'cause here's the official trailer for The Avengers. It's a pretty solid first showing for what Marvel hopes will be the blockbuster of 2012. Every main character gets a small chance to shine and we get a general idea of the plot. The only villain they show is Loki but I'd be surprised if some Skrulls or Kree don't show up. The trailer seems to imply an alien invasion kind of storyline, and while it might stay true to the comic book origin of the Avengers, I just don't see Joss Wheadon reusing the villain from Thor and calling it a day.

Also 2/1 odds that Eliza Dushku shows up somewhere.

I wanted to post this earlier today but I had to wait for the trailer to show up on youtube. Apple's media player sucks, it's not hulu bad but it's close. Honestly iTunes is the reason I don't have an iPhone. The nicest thing I've ever heard anyone say about iTunes is that "it's not that bad".

Funny, no one was using that quote on facebook last week.
