Yes, but that's probably when you went to the bathroom.
Was this shot even in the movie?
No. Quite a few shots and lines from the trailers weren't in the movie, actually.

Thor? Are you kidding? He was one of my favorite parts of this movie even though I missed the supposedly awesome fight between him and Hulk.
Yes, but imagine how much they could make if Spidey was in the film! It'd be approaching Avatar/Titanic levels of money.

Right and I even said I know I'm nit picking.
That doesn't excuse your childish behavior. In future, think and read before you post.

Fine. We can keep thor, but Black Widow and Hawkeye are definitely out.

Oh shit, I completely missed Tony dropping that LMD line. That's actually a cool way to bring them into the universe.

Nah, I loved cap strategy, wished he had more of these moments. They were boxed in, as you said, without a plan they will just bash whatever it is in front of them, but cap actually give good instructions.
Thor slows down the reinforcements, Hawkeye is a scout, Iron Man contains the battle in that specific area, he and the widow deal with whatever gets to the ground and the hulk jumps around picking whatever is on the air that either crossed Thor's lightning or isn't on Iron Man's perimeter (also, the big flying things only he can actually deal with). It makes incredible sense, I think, and it's not something they would do without instructions.

I was talking about this with my girlfriend and maybe what lacked was a scene where they do try to bash everything at random and it fails, showing that they need the leadership, but this would break the pace too much, maybe. Still, anyone who played heroclix knows that coordinating a super-hero group is an art.
And more than any superpower, Captain America is the best at that.
The idea behind the cap strategy is a good one, but it might have worked better if he was giving the orders in the fly and not when surrounded by aliens who want to kill you but decide not to for those few mins. Still, a minor complaint and one that doesn't bother the majority.
Yeah, I caught that but it still felt like IM was on the winning end of the fight until Thor dropped the hammer and went in using his bare hands. It felt odd to me that he could even go toe to toe with Thor/take so many direct hits from the hammer.
Yup. Which is going to make it truly badass when Cap lifts it in the sequel.
/wishful thinking
I wish they could do something like in the cartoon comic, and have a kid named Peter take a picture of the team after a big fight.
He's the protector of earth, he's not going to obliterate the dude. He dropped the hammer because he didn't want to destroy him, he want to stop him.
But that logic can't really be applied for when he threw down the hammer on Cap, but that snippet was just there to get everyone stop fighting (with that cool metal echoing sound).

Wish more like the DCAU etc, did stuff like that.
Or at least Tobey Maguire take the pic lolz.

Fair enough, I accept it's a minor complaint and one that probably doesn't warrant a big discussion.
And yeah, that was a very cool sound.

That would have been so good. I wonder if THAT would be copyright infringement...

Noooooo. Thor was never at any point not on the extreme winning end. He obviously wasn't trying to kill or seriously hurt Tony at any point in the fight. I mean, we saw how he casually crushed the arm in the suit. He could have easily ripped his arms off or crushed his skull with the headbutt but he was just trying to beat him into submission. Thor wasn't even hurt by any of IMs attacks and no, simply getting knocked back doesn't mean he was hurt by it.
Yes but so do the majority of Marvel heroes
No Iron Fist, no Daredevil no Luke Cage no Red Hulk etc etc etc

Hemsworth is a pretty fantastic choice for Thor as well, no?
Nope, that would have been fine, unless there was a stipulation in his contract he could not appear in certain movies for a certain amount of time...I seriously doubt it.

I just saw the movie tonight, and this is exactly how everyone reacted. There wasn't a sound to be heard in the scene after Coulson's death.
Simmer down, you.

Indeed. Hawkeye had some cool shots, but whenever the scenes focused on him and Black Widow it's like my interest plummeted very steep.
Also the film began fairly slow but after I while I started to enjoy myself a good bit. Marvel Studio's best film and I really liked Mark Ruffalo and RDJ.
Worst line in the film: "hey, it's just like Budapest." "You and I remember Budapest very differently." So out of place. To be fair though I think that's the only bad line in the entire thing.
Wikipedia said:
So basically hulk is the most powerful thing there is.... If he wants to be.

"Doesn't look like a party to me." was pretty bad as well.

They could have easily had Peter Parker taking pictures of the aftermath. Either that or a mention of Daily Bugle interviewing someone in the street.
Posted a page or two back. LOVE IT.
Sure, but I don't think anyone naturally has Thor's personality irl. He's a great casting choice, though, and hell, so is Evans, but what I mean is their literal acting personality is so similar it's almost natural.
Not really, they had on site footage of them in Budapest on one of the screens early on in the movie. Both of them side by side, identical to them in the final battle.
They're just mad cause Batman is scared to fight Captain America.
Which crossover is this? It's not the shitty Two Brothers Amalgram crossover right

I've heard more than one girl say something along the lines of "Loki made my ovaries explode". I have no idea how that caught on, especially since it sounds a lot more painful than 'wow that turns me on'. Its like saying "black widow made my ballsack explode!". Yeah, not quite.
Bahahaha, wow. They couldn't write that shit if they tried. :lol

At least that kind of makes sense, and doesn't make me wince :s
the only thing about this movie that bugs me, is when the mind-controlled hawkeye and the other shield agents are trying to sneak into and destroy the helicarrier and rescue loki
and the conversation went like this:
mind-controled agent: helicarrier, we ask for landing permit.
radio operator on the helicarrier: i can see that this is one of our planes, but your flight is not registred. what are you transporting ?
mind-controled agent: weapons and food.
radio operator on the helicarrier: well then, carry on. permission granted. ... (few minutes later the helicarrier is down.)
besides that, i'm already counting the days till the dvd release. can't wait to see it again.
funny how it's always the same posters who call others out for childish behavior and to think before posting.

First half of the movie was pretty bad. 2nd half was much better. I could definitely go without Black Widow, though. Pretty awful. Hawkeye I could live without too.
I really though Loki was just a boring villian to have and his armor looked ridiculous haha.
I'm all for a sequel though, and I can see it being much better.
They should just completely negate the Fantastic Four movies and make Dr. Doom the villian. I'd be there day 1.

So do we think they're going to dive right in to Thanos for Avengers 2 (with set-up in Iron Man 3 and Cap/Thor 2) or are they going to set him up in the background for a while and have him be in Avengers 3?
My friend described Thanos as the most insane villain the Avengers ever fought, what with his ability to rewrite reality. I just personally feel like that's a HUGE leap from "This is our first battle together as a team!" to "Ok second movie we're fighting THE WORST villain on our roster!"
Also, I wonder if AntMan is going to join the Avengers in part 2? They could then have those robots that Hank builds (Ultron?) be the bad guys in A2 and leave Thanos for A3?
Or, wait, have they done the Ultron robots in the movies yet? Were they in Iron Man 2 at all? Fuck I need to sit down and rewatch all of these films.
I can't wait until Marvel Studios has more movies made so when Avengers 2 does happen we can have AntMan and Dr Strange and the Black Panther popping in and out through the movie or fighting in the background. It makes me really sad that they don't have the film rights to all their properties because a movie with a MASSIVE battle involving the X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four... that would be absolutely mind-destroying.

I'm so glad I went on a media blackout for this film.
Batman, too. During the preview for TDKR, I turned up my music player and just stared at the girl next to me.
Pretty much.

do we really want this? a movie like that will probably ensure most of those character as a cameo because you can never really give all of the character an equal screentime or even things to say.
even in the ultimate comic books with it's huge event like ultimatum etc, they have to show that same event in multiple book series, so spider-man got his own ultimatum books showing his perspective, fantastic four and ultimates also have their own ultimatum storyline. how are you going to show all that big of an event in a single movie.
That's the one with fan voting, right? Then no. This scene is from JLA/Avengers.

I specifically meant cameos, yeah. They'd never be able to go in-depth like they do in the comics with the movie versions but to have an Avengers movie where say they fight the Skrull and during the final battle there's a camera pan and you see like, EVERYONE is there fighting, that would be insane. Like having the Baxter Building in the skyline or everyone's fighting and Reed's voice or face comes on a screen to say the FF have the East End on lockdown or something. Then the camera is following the Hulk as he jumps up a building and you see Daredevil and Spider-Man fighting a couple Skrull on the rooftop in the background.
I mean, the entire thing Marvel is setting up is a cohesive movie universe where all these characters exist in the same place, so naturally they'll be dropping in and out of each other's movies.
Yeah, it's not like this is being marketed as the final film or anything.
Oh, wait..........
