Avengers Movie SPOILER Thread

[MooCriket]

I was kinda hoping for a Thor/Iron Man scene like this...

[cboath]

I just read that IM3 and Thor 2 are next summer and that Avengers 2 could be May 16, 2014. Lots to look forward too!

[Goonie]

Saw it on IMAX 3D today and had a blast from start to finish. Fun movie!!

Would've been hilarious in the end credits scene if...
Hugh Jackman walked in as Wolverine while they were sitting there eating. I know, I know, X-Men is with Fox. Damn, Marvel Studios needs to get the movie rights back to all their character movie franchises. This would've been great!

[KhalDrogo]

I guess I'm the only one who thought it was meh. Ok, the Hulk had a couple of funny 3-stooges moments but that doesn't make the movie. Lesse, evil guy wants to take over the world, opens up a portal where baddies pour through. He also converts some good guys by emptying their minds or something. 'Good' guys really making weapons instead of unlimited power, unbeknownst to the Avengers. Throw in a lot of Transformers type everything blows up moments at the end. Yep, this movie was totally refreshing and new.

You should really talk to your doctor about switching up your anti-depressant meds.

Designing The Avengers: The Art of Marvel's Most Ambitious Movie

[Werstrooper]

Fantastic movie.

I would have loved to see Captain America pick up Thor's hammer and hand it to him; especially after the Hulk couldn't!

Michael

lol! that would be cool.

Does that ever happen in the comics? because Cap has what it takes to hold Thors Hammer.

[Geniepants]

It has, and back in the 90's, during the DC vs Marvel series, Thor is handed his hammer by non other than Wonder Woman!

[aicerg1]

Read this a little too late.

[terryr]

loki destroys the original shield, when he conquers asgard and gains odins power and the avengers come to aid. this is also when iron man gets the suit thats made out of the same material as thors hammer.
after that, iron man makes a electronic shield that is carried as a bracelet and is kinda holographic out of the bracelet.

something like that

That explains the Avenger cartoon that I saw last week. Caps shield comes out of nowhere and disappears again. WTF, says I.

[Scareb]

I actually was surprised they got away with Loki calling black widow a mewling quim.

About The Hulk’s Two Hulk Outs In THE AVENGERS | Badass Digest
The reasons explained is pretty much what I thought during the first viewing of the movie.

Generally the same as my impression the 2nd time I saw it, but I don't agree with the writer that Loki's spear plays a role in making everyone in the room angry. Banner was put under Loki's spell when Loki is first escorted by SHIELD soldiers on the Helicarrier, very easy to miss this as it happened briefly at the end of that scene. I saw all the arguing as everyone already didn't get along to begin with, namely Stark and Rogers, and when you throw in Fury's dirty laundry into the mix, that just put everyone over the top, Banner more so than the rest because of the environment and Loki's spell.

Ultimately, whether the spear influenced everyone or not is NOT a big deal in the overall plot, just a minor detail that can be a point of contention among supergeeks that care about the smallest details.

I think it's obvious the spear had some effect on them. Loki touches the spear to someone's chest to brainwash them. And in the scene where they almost all go ballistic, Banner unconsciously picks up the spear, and everyone else starts drawing weapons just in case he's gone over to the other side. It's about as subtle as the way the Hulk beat Loki like a ragdoll.

The spear effect is only hinted at but yeah can't really be blamed for the whole conflict, which was already brewing early on. But it definitely could have instigated it further.

[hankey01]

As I said earlier..Stark rubs his forehead as if under a spell of some sort..same as Banner did earlier. Certainly their emotions were enhanced..

[rodneyfaile]

I'm guessing Joss Whedon can get almost anything he wants right now.

I wasn't a big fan of Buffy, Angel, or Firefly, but I wouldn't mind seeing more Dollhouse.

Adoptees call for a boycott over something Thor said in Avengers | Blastr

I was adopted and I thought the line was hilarious. If some adoptees are THAT angry about it, maybe it's time to look at their own mindsets and make adjustments rather than trying to force and unnecessary apology.

[giric thren]

Saw this for the second time lastnight. I still love it, and will see it at least 2 more times.

As soon as I heard that line I knew some jackasses were going to be complaining. It's a HILARIOUS line.

I signed the petition so I could post this:

Yeah! This movie also insults Gamma Irradiated folks!!!! Can you believe the way that security guard told Banner he 'had a condition'?? So RUDE! And the way billionaire, playboy, philanthropists were objectified! It's not like they can help being billionaires! FOR SHAME! And WW2 Supersoldiers who were cryogenically frozen, why wasn't the government helping him out with government funded counseling sessions!!! We need to SUPPORT our WW2 Supersoldiers! Lastly, this movie was definitely a full slam on sharpshooting archers! Why didn't Hawkeye have more arrows than that?? Can't SHIELD afford to give him more arrows than the ones he had in his quiver!! It's UNAMERICAN!

[Sundowner]

Some folks need to lighten up. "oh the Hulk has anger management issues" or "Hawkeye is hunting during muzzleloader season" ...I'm sure more are to come.

Seriously. Loki didnt murder 80 people because he was adopted (although the circumstances related to his geneology didn't help); he murdered those people beacuse he is an insane ego-maniac demigod.

Let's look at the positves - previously marginalized demographics can now celebrate their uniqueness thanks to their inspiring portrayals in this film:

1. Black guys with eye patches
2. Janitors at abandoned warehouses
3. Sons of Caul
4. Purple guys with gnarly chins
5. Galaga enthusiasts
6. Jeremy Renners
7. Rage Monsters
