Who will avenge this movie poster?

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "The Avengers". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) Wow, eight names at the top of the poster! Multiply by seven, carry the one, have numbers crunched by secret algorithms... If this movie doesn't make at least $90 million in its opening weekend it will mean our secret algorithms need more work.

2) We love how things are blowing up and the rest of The Avengers at least look like they're about to fight someone or something, but Captain America is just posing! Guess he's just concerned about looking cool in the movie poster, as opposed to helping his friends. Wonder if he's going to make appearances on Jimmy Kimmel and The View next...

3) We realize that The Hulk is supposed to be a big guy, but unless he's the love child of Godzilla and King Kong he's a bit out of proportion. Cause definitely if he really is supposed to be that big, his pants would have split too when he grew. Even with a pair of spanks under those pants, The Hulk would be going commando after his transformation.

4) Hello Scarlett! We think we've caught Samuel L. Jackson staring at your ass. Not that we blame him, but it's not exactly profession. We would have expected that kind of behaviour from Captain America, but somehow we think he might be more interested in admiring his own ass...

5) Does anyone think that maybe Robert Downey Jr. was too busy to show up to the movie poster shoot? His head looks like it was cut and pasted onto this body. Can anyone confirm that they used a stand-in and added his face in post-production?

In conclusion, based on our detailed analysis of "The Avengers", we predict that it'll make $90 million during its first weekend.
