The Blot doesn’t usually post region specific international movie posters, but I made an exception for this latest Avengers one sheet. There is something seriously weird about its composition, and yet I really like! I can’t think of another poster or ad that features all of the heroes in their secret identities in the foreground with them wearing their more recognizable costumes shadowed in the background. What really throws it off for me is how unnecessary it is since four of the six Avengers don’t even wear masks. Is seeing these actors in their street clothes really that enticing? And why is the Hulk so obscured? Then again, the movie poster wasn’t made to appeal to me so maybe I’m missing the point. Is it a cultural thing perhaps?
