Saw the pics but ignored the text; some nice new shots in there.
I read the text.
I am not going to spoil anything. The text only covers the team being assembled and why. Most of it done in an excellent way except for the Hulk. It's understandable why they done it but i was hoping Hulk entry into the team would be later. In my opinion any fan of the comincs/films etc should avoid the text.
I'll get mildly spoilery here, but nothing thats not really covered in the trailers.... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
The text in the movie book? Actually, it covers a deal more than the team being assembled I'd say; yes it is the assembly of the team, but the why and how seems (at a guess) to cover the first half of the film, at least an hour of screen time I'd say; and three action sequences - the opening, Germany, and the Thor, Cap, Iron Man face off in the woods glimpsed in the trailer. The opening is a pretty big spoiler, but it's not a new one - it's already done the rounds.
Actually, having read the text I'm a little more optomistic, particularly around the assembly of the team - in particular Thor. It sounds good, really good in fact, and sounds to be more action packed than any of the previous Marvel movies (which has always been a criticism of mine, particularly of Iron Man). I'd guess the second haolf of the movie, which isn't touched on in the book, will play around Loki's escape (second escape?) and recruitment of the Alien Army and subsequent invasion for the finale. Looks that we're getting around five action sequences of varying sizes, I hope Germany and the battle in the woods are as big as suggested by the trailers. Does appear that we wont get any Hulk until the second half of the film though i.e. he seems under wraps during those opening action scenes. I think Loki will instigate a Hulk out on the Helicarrier to facilitate his second escape, the team have to tackle him as Loki does a runner, we'll get some calm as Loki recruits whatever Army it is and then the invasion will kick off the last half hour or so of the flick, at a guess. I'm certainly more intrigued at this point, after being pretty non-plussed before. Helps that Sky are showing Thor and Cap next month for a rewatch in advance of Avengers.

RE: The Avengers - Superbowl Teaser - 
. I think there's merit in asking as it may reveal/lead to a plot point we haven't considered. As I mention above, the hammer may have been sapped of its power, or perhaps Thor has and this is magnified/exemplified by the power of Mjølner at that time. As others have said, there could be imposters although that seems unlikely (Skrulls?). There's clearly friction involved as Banner says "we're not a team, we're a time bomb" so I think the fight is genuine.Going back to the shield, I was wondering whether there is a precedent for Mjølner striking the vibranium shield in the comics. As of course the 'explanation' for its toughness would be in there. Or perhaps there's a certain explanation for it seemingly being resistant to the power of the hammer, other than its tough material; perhaps through enchantment and again this could be a story element. All in all, it's worth asking, may lead to some interesting theories.
