We’ve been burned before… Spider-man 3, Hulk, X3, Green Lantern…

We as fanboys should know better than to get too hyped over film adaptations of comic book properties. But the Avengers, Marvel’s flagship superhero team, is so far exceeding expectations given the few clips we’ve seen in trailers and teasers. Check out this awesome commercial that aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl (the extended version) and tell me you’re not geeked for this!!

Marvel’s Avengers Super Bowl XLVI Commercial (Extended) – YouTube.

“The Avengers. That’s what we call ourselves. Earth’s Mightiest Heroes… type thing.”
“I have an army.”
“We have a HULK!”

Avengers hits theaters in May, 2012.
