Jollibee Avengers Comics


This is a landmark that was not advertised enough.

Probably because Jollibee chose to go the safe side of not having Jollibee fight together with the Avengers. Imagine how memorable it would have been in our local lovable bee used his big butt to sting Mole Man! Could have made this small comic book a collectible. The comic book was written by an established Marvel author (Ralph Macchio), our fast food great should have taken full advantage of the opportunity.

Instead, Jollibee elected to play it safe by just using a store manager and a store as a background, and Jollibee as Lola Basyang Narrator!.




I think this is related to branding, but if JFC wants to do it again, wouldnt hurt to have more chutzpah. Risks pay gains.  

But anyway, Im aching to buy the Avengers Blu-Ray for the extra features, and because of this Q&A from last April:

Q: What was it like to see it all last night after shooting disjointed scenes?
Ruffalo: Damn satisfying.
Hemsworth: There's one big shot where they did a 360 circle around all the Avengers. At the time, that was all green screen. I was thinking, "Wait a second, why didn't we shoot this in the middle of New York? This is the shot." But last night it got the biggest applause. It worked. Whether you doubted it at the time, (director Joss Whedon) pulled it off.
Downey: As long as the defects are not glaring. And the movie is not without defects. I still cannot exactly tell you what the bad-guy plot is. During the course of the journey, as long as you don't leave me with these lingering questions, so that I feel like you are being sloppy. But with the difficulty and complexity of it all, I don't like to say this, but I was humbled by it.

I will sure have the set during the Black Friday sale. Just one more month to go and I'll be involved again in another extreme Amazon.com consumerism. K-Tank! Shrrooom! Wapak! Splat!
