If only the pin was relevant to either movie or comic book, as it is it sits in the middle somewhere and does not know exactly what it is supposed to be a representation of.
One very big pinball travesty indeed.
The movie is not needed to be seen at all to play and understand this title.

I Disagree as usual ofcourse ! 
The pinny is excellent. U can see where Stern got the pinball rear panel idea from with all the main characters/flashing lights, from just by watching the opening credits on the Avengers movie on the DVD set up page...its exactly from that first minute when u watch the movie.  You wouldnt know that unless u compared the pinball to the Avengers movie, plus a dozen other things u can pick up from watching the movie.

I reckon I will actually enjoy the Avengers pinball even more now that I have watched the movie another few times.
