Saw it for the second time last night and this scene brought the house down again. Most of the packed theater was laughing and clapping at this scene. There was a lady behind me, she had to be late 50s-early 60s, with her grand kids, and she was like 'get him Hulk, GET HIM!'. Her reaction was almost as good as the scene itself.

Why does it have to be an either/or?

Judging by the box office numbers, most people *do* enjoy both.

I'm not really a Thanos fan, though.

Well, since there will be heavy make-up and CG, they should cast Samuel L. Jackson as Thanos.

No, that's in the Netherlands. There are exactly two theaters showing The Avengers 2D, in the entire country :/

Ironically this scene sealed the fact that Loki was a shit villain. His biggest role in the movie was to serve as comic relief.

On the plus side, you are in the Netherlands. You could pretty much bike to any of them.

Loki is kind of a dummy, his purpose was simply to give the movie an excuse to have an alien battle at the end of the movie. :P

Loki's biggest role is bringing together the Avengers.

3N16MA · (05-13-2012, 03:00 PM)

Loki was there to provide creepy yet likeable smiles. He proceeded to execute his role perfectly.

Avengers was at 660~ mill worldwide by the end of the previous weekend. It'll probably take two more weeks to surpass Harry Potter.

Sounds about right.

If you take a look at the World's top 11 grossing films, five are Disney films :0!

Finally saw this for my birthday yesterday and quite enjoyed it. I tear'd up a bit at the end knowing full well it was over and that the 20 years of my nerdiness filled life had all culminated into seeing this kind of movie that I didn't think was possible at all back then.

I also sat next to this older woman and her husband. She was really getting into it, cheering when she should cheer and being worried about the people who were fighting or getting the shit kicked out of them. She oven let out an audible "Oh No" when Coulson bit it. No one ever acts that way at movies

they kinda just let shit flash in front of their face then run home and talk about it on the internet. But that lady was invested fully in the story and she just let it out. It was nice to be around.

DVD version sure won't match experiencing the atmosphere of the cinema crowd for this movie that's for sure.

quadriplegicjon · (05-13-2012, 04:23 PM)

Saw this last night, really fun movie. The Hulk was perfect!

Question:

Who was the bad guy at the end after the credits rolled?

Yeah the audience was really invested in the movie as well when I went last weekend. The audience cheered really loudly for pretty much all of the Hulk parts but also for when Coulson shot Loki right before he died. It's amazing how Coulson went from a fairly cool SHIELD cameo in Iron-Man to pretty annoying in Iron-Man 2 to an endearing hero in The Avengers. The Avengers really brought the other movies together extremely well in a way that actually made the previous movies better. It's kind of an anti-Spiderman 3.

You can buy the entire Infinity Gauntlet run from most comic shops on the cheap right now, availability is high for it so I doubt it will increase in price much.

Agreed although the end fight in the Avengers kicked ass instead of sucking like Transformers 3's.

TDK is beating it in the US and Worldwide right now. Spider-man and Spider-man 2 are beating it domestically.

To be fair, one good movie doesn't mean he doesn't suck or that the majority of his past work wasn't shit. He'll forever be tainted by Firefly, Serenity and Dollhouse.

There's no washing that stink off.
