I just got back from seeing this movie. Holy fudge that was amazing. I never had any doubts that Joss Whedon would come through but man I think he surpassed what I was expecting.
Please tell me that you all stayed for the post-credits scene. Please please please. That was hilarious.
I am incredibly impressed. Or I should say I FUCKING LOVED THIS MOVIE. I normally zone out during action scenes in movies, no matter how interested I am in what is going on, but this one kept my attention.
I like the simplicity of the post credits. It signifies that the long journey from the past 4-5 years is complete and they're just simply resting, preparing for the future. It is a nice calm after something as epic as the movie itself.
I heard that the shawarma scene was actually shot after the world premiere, I can't find the source but at that time, Evans has a beard and is partially bald so they had to put a wig and a prosthetic jaw. That's probably the main reason why he isn't eating and was just looking really tired: to hide the beard!
But setting that aside. I wish the next Avengers have another eating scene where Thor chomps down "delicious Midgard food" or will have an eating/drinking contest with Cap. I actually want more scenes where they get along than fight. Or maybe, just have them train together in the sequel! I want.
- i liked black widow and hawkeye a lot more than i thought i would. i also quite liked the interaction between the two, a few small hints there might be something more there but nothing blatant, all very subtle.
- the stark/potts scenes were fantastic and pleased my shipper heart. the '12% line' in particular got a lot of laughs
- was not sure about mark ruffalo but as others have said he did an awesome job
- that script. THAT SCRIPT. goddamn whedon how u do dis, the 'puny god' scene got the loudest laughs but there were at least a dozen moments in the movie that had the entire audience snickering
- i felt they did a good job showing them working as a team while still utilizing their individual strengths
- i liked how fury was not above lying and manipulating emotions to make sure the team did what was necessary, made him more interesting
- coulson's death was well done. unfortunately i accidentally spoiled it for myself but it still had good emotional impact and i shall miss his character
- hulk going RRAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGHH at stark to wake him up when he was 'dead' was classic
can't wait to see it again, will probably see it 2 more times in theatres yet
EDIT: almost forgot, i adored the stark/banner friendship. was one of my favourite parts of the movie, actually
But setting that aside. I wish the next Avengers have another eating scene where Thor chomps down "delicious Midgard food" or will have an eating/drinking contest with Cap. I actually want more scenes where they get along than fight. Or maybe, just have them train together in the sequel! I want.
I wanna see it again too but my friends seem busy When I watched it the screen turned black for a few seconds and it was out of focus for a few more. I wanna see what I missed.
*Sniff*
EDIT: I found a good thread in the superhero forums: Avengers Art
-Some people are making a bit of a deal about Cap's "there's only one God" line (in reference to being told that Thor's a god). It's hardly a huge turning point in characterisation for him -- he was depicted as one of the most religiously devout Marvel characters during the Infinity Crusade arc in the 90s.
Now, if Cap had said 'She', then people might have cause to be confused, but the man's from WWII. Even if you were an Atheist, you'd never say you were one, especially since the propaganda at the time was all against the 'godless' Nazis, even as their propaganda was 'gott mitt uns' and how everyone else was godless, etc.
-Again, some people are making a deal about the firefight on the Helicarrier, and the fact that Cap didn't kill his opponents with one shot. Some are suggesting he was having trouble adjusting to modern day firing technique, others modern day weapons tech. Personally, I took it he was doing deliberate suppression fire -- i.e., his objective was to simply stop his opponents from firing back at him.
Or the automatic fire accuracy at that range was just terrible. Both he and his foe couldn't hit each other
Had to check the exact year on wikipedia, but the Helicarrier first appeared in 1965, so if anything, it's possible the Highwind and Sierra/Shera were modelled after it. But there's only so much you can do with hi-tech within modern day materials craft, so it's probably just a coincidence.
Given the Carrier's in the promos, this isn't spoiler worthy, IMO, so all Airships designs derive from prior examples, so yes, they do. BUT, the Helicarrier itself derives its inspiration from previous fantastic airships, though, yes, merged with idea of a Carrier ship, which neither the Highwind or Shera are.
Hawkeye: 12:44. Thor: 25:52. Bruce Banner: 28:03 Black Widow: 33:35. Iron Man: 37:01. Captain America: 37:42.
I really need to watch the Avengers again, some say that at first you feel that Cap did the least at first viewing but when you repeat it they say it seems that he did more.
omg!!!

Lucky kid. Here's another one:
