 Two, of arguably the best superhero films ever made are on movie feuds this week. Long time viewer Drew Traving is here to fight me to what I assume will be the death. It's no wonder you've put this feud off for so long. To even think that the Avengers would come close to Christopher Nolan's masterpiece is laughable. I know the Dark Knight fangirls are going to be out in full force. If I can't protect the Avengers, I'm damn sure hell going to avenge it. This should be the easiest round for me to win. The entire Marvel lineup has been casted to perfection. I don't know what that is. Characters like Captain American Thor, who normally I didn't give a shit about, were done so well by Hemsworth and Evans that I ate them up like I always do. That's just the tip of the dick, though. Downey's in full form as Iron Man. Scar Joe kicks all sorts of ass. Not Lawrence Fishburne is always welcome as Nick Fury. Hell, even Hawkeye was cooler than he probably should have been. The best part is those aren't even the main course in the smorgasbord. A lot of meal talking right now. We also get our third iteration of the Hulk, played by Mark Ruffalo. Yes, I know there's been more than three actors in the past to do the Hulk. I'm talking recently, so shut the hell up. Every time the Hulk is on the scene, he steals the show. I mean, I think everybody can agree with that. Janice, you of course agree. She's one of the many interns I have. She's not even there. Glad you mentioned the Hulk. Just one giant plot hole of a character. Why is it that at the beginning of the film he can't control his anger, but at the end when it's convenient for the plot, he can? There certainly could have been more explanation, but that's just one speed bump in what was otherwise a great family film. You listed a Disney Afternoon lineup of characters, but now it's time for the adults to sound off. Dark Knight doesn't just settle for pretty faces. Oh I know, Maggie Gyllenhaal is in it. It goes for the Academy Award winners, the Oscar-nominated performances that make a good movie great, or in this case, a great movie flawless. Michael Cain, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart, and Christian Bale. These are not the kind of names you throw around lightly. Christian Bale always transforms into his role, both physically and mentally, and that goes the same for his performance in The Dark Knight. Apparently you're not aware of the overwhelming adoration for Tom Hilston's Loki. Maybe he was too low-key for you. Welcome to Movie Feuds. Subscribe. If you're not aware, he's potentially the most overrated villain of all time. What does he do exactly that's so awesome? Just giving him magic abilities is such a cop-out. He and Frozen's Elsa should join up and make a movie together. It'd be called Shit We Can Do, but it's never explained. The movie. The arrogance he conveys, the way he carries himself, the constant trickery he bestows upon our heroes is just, I don't know what this is, orgasmic in nature. People were Nick Furious when they heard Ledger was taking the role, and many said that Nicholson's Joker would never be top. Then boom, The Dark Knight hits, and we are given the best villain of all time, surpassing even Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter. And if that wasn't enough, we are given a second breakout performance by Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face. I wasn't aware that Two-Face was in The Dark Knight. His time may have been short but sweet, but the journey to get him there was amazing. When the journey was squandered needlessly, this should have been the villain for the third movie. Instead, we're got Bane! It was actually really awesome. So my point is mute. Let's get one thing crystal Pepsi clear. That was a Pepsi brand back in the day. You kids don't know. You're all 12. We are arguing over what is the best superhero film, not just film. You lose in either case. The Dark Knight is an amazing piece of cinema. It's just a piece of cinema that happens to have Batman in it. You actually could have put me in the film and I don't think anybody would have been any of the wiser. In fact, I went ahead and placed myself in a key sequence. Uh, Mitt? You want to roll the clip on that? 50-50. What happened to Rachel was in chance. Sorry. Sorry. What happened to Rachel was in chance. The Joker chose me. Uh, duh. You were the best of us. Now fix whatever is happening here and let's move on. Jesus Christ. Gordon. Get up. Get Gordon. I'm not even looking at me. Let's go. I'm going to push you off this ledge. This is the Batman movie that we all deserved and the one that we need right now. I'm so sick of these cookie-cutters, CGI-f-best films that Marvel keeps creating. It's the same thing every single time. You are correct. Most of the Marvel films are extremely similar. They're all fun. They're all family romps. Everybody can go to the theater and enjoy. Romps is a word I'm using now. Mark Knight has plot twists, tough decisions with actual consequences, and people die in this world and that pain is felt. In The Avengers, people die as well, Drew, and in Death One has a name, and that name is Agent Coulson. His name is Agent Coulson. He comes back in this equally stupid TV show, but who cares? Why does Thor not just sit on top of the building and electrocute every f***ing alien that flies through the portal? We see him do it. He stops just because it would be too easy, I guess. Why isn't Loki mind-control McFury, you know, the leader of SHIELD? Why is Loki even on Earth in the first place? He was no real reason except for wanting to be a ruler of a planet that he thinks is super shitty. How is it that Batman can survive a 60-story drop whilst holding one of the ugliest women alive? Only to slam fate first into a car, you're telling me that that bullshit Batcave parachute slowed him down that much? For that matter, what the hell happened to Joker and his goons who are still up in the building? Did they just cash leave? Batman's gone, let's go. We have nothing to do here. Did Batman run into him in the elevator on the way up? It was just like this awkward situation. Oh, hey Joker. Did you find Harvey Dent up there? Sorry not sorry. It has giant beasts, awesome hand-to-hand combat, jaw-dropping visuals, great explosions, a giant floating ship, multiple fight sequence with our heroes, intense camera shots that scale sides of buildings and pan around city blocks to keep up with the action. The Dark Knight has a cool water cycle and a truck flip. Batman keeps things in the world of reality. This isn't Space Jam, it's the Dark Knight. The visuals are there in a much different form, dramatic lighting, an intense amount of gritty realism you don't really find in superhero films before this, a brilliant use of practical effects that make this film much more engaging. It's not impactful to see a bunch of CGI vomited onto a screen in The Avengers, so the threat isn't real to me. A pencil through the skull, though, that's... Orgasmic. Dark Knight. No! No! We are going to talk about the music in Avengers. Oh yeah, you're right, there's nothing. I have an army. We have a hulk. If I had to pick one that perfectly showcases what I want from a superhero movie, I'd go with The Avengers every single time. It takes me back to a simpler time when I was able to dream, to marvel, unintended, at superheroes and what they could accomplish. If I wanted to be depressed, I'd go back to work or home and see my family and friends, or I could watch The Dark Knight and be equally as sad. I said it before and I'll say it again. This is by far the most pointless movie feuds episode that's ever been on YouTube. This is Christopher Nolan we were talking about. The man who gave us Memento, The Prestige, and my favorite movie Inception. I'll take that any day over Dollhouse and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I feel like you didn't mention the slathering of contributions that Joss Whedon has brought to the table, but I'm going to move on again like I always do be the bigger person. Now it's your guys' turn, leave a comment in the comment section below, and remember as always, this is more than just reviews, this is movie feuds. Hey Drew! Yeah? Fuck off my set. Here's the number one fan.
