Prepare for Avengance!

No, that's not a typo.

I was watching The Incredible Hulk today, and it got me thinking what I would like to see in the upcoming Avengers movie. Well, I got some ideas.

Have the main villian(s) be The Masters of Evil, led by Doctor Doom (I'll get to what we do with him later). The movie opens with the Avengers called to action to stop a rampaging dragon-creature. Whoever gives them thier debreifings tells them that the creature is very large, very powerful, and surprisingly intelligent. For those who haven't caught on, the creature is Fin Fang Foom (voiced by David Kaye). The battle should have a different dynamic than most "little superpeole vs giant monster" battles. With Fin Fang Foom doing crazy things such as teleporting, climbing up walls and saying "yeeeeessss" constantly. From there, we can transition to a flashback of how the group got together. Introduce the characters who DIDN'T get thier own movies, and show how they were all brought together. Do this in about 30 minutes, and we're all set to go. Next, we'll get the group trying to recruit the Hulk. I personally would like the gray version, allowing for some nice banter between Hulk and the various Avengers team members. They eventually convince the Hulk to help them in the fight against, well, whatever they fight next. From there, we find out about the Masters of Evil. Now, let's talk Doom. Victor Von Doom, to be percise. For the love of God, if Marvel does this, PLEASE DO NOT follow the Fantastic Four movies. Have him talk in the third person, and explain that his ego has grown so big, he not only loves the sound of his own voice, but the sound of his own name. The other members? Well, Loki for sure. Fin Fang Foom, from the opening scene. The Leader, perhaps? Oh, and Ultron, can't forget Ultron. For thier evil plan, go the Ultimate Alliance route. With Doom stealing the power of Odin. This would undoubtedly accumulate with a great final battle between Doom and Thor.

Those are my ideas. I would really like it if they decided "screw it, let's make this really over-the-top and a real comic book film." None of this "It has to be realistic for the general public" crap. Did Star Wars have to be realistic for the general public? Did Forbidden Planet? Star Trek? All the most well-remembered science fiction films and series embraced the "fiction" side of the genre. And the "Comic Book Film" needs to embrace the "comic book" side of it's genre.
