It’s a good week to be a Marvel fan. A few hours ago the new trailer for Marc Webb’s reboot of Spider-Man debuted and it is pretty amazing indeed. I loved the first Spider-Man movie when it came out, but then again I was a sophomore in High School and I haven’t really watched them since that time.

Andrew Garfield looks great as Peter Parker, and Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey will be a welcome break from whats-her-face playing MJ. The tone of the film looks great.

The Avengers Extended Super Bowl Trailer
Apparently there was some big sporting event this Sunday just a few minutes from my house, and a lot of people watched it while my wife and I stayed home and caught up on episodes of Adventure Time.
I don’t think we missed much, but there was a new trailer for The Avengers, and Marvel also released an extended version and put it up online for all of us non-sports geeks to see.

All it really took for this trailer was having a rendered Hulk standing next to all the other heroes to make it sink in that we’re really getting an Avengers movie in a few months.
