It could be quite misleading as the actual film might suck arse, but so far, this preview is epic.  Too bad I can&#8217;t say the same for Marvel&#8217;s film adaptations of Thor and Captain Half-Assed America.  Comic book movies need to stick more to their source in a fantastical way, which I think is hard to do without it becoming an inside joke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An abridged 4 minute preview from WonderCon has been released.
