Gasoline explosions and flipping cars.
I swear, CG studios must have a
keyboard macro for "and then a car flips end-over-end" by this point. I think the
Conan movie had a freaking
carriage flip end-over-end.
Hello, SFX departments: we are no longer impressed. Find something else to do, please.
Black Widow is cool - you can tell, because she doesn't look at the explosion. A shamelessly gratuitous "smoking-hot-action-girl" shot. I have no objection to this.
I'm waiting for the movie where someone is decapitated by a piece of shrapnel or crushed by a falling piece of concrete because they weren't looking at the explosion.
But, yeah... I'd probably pony up for a movie of nothing but Johansson in a black jumpsuit doing nifty acrobatic takedowns on henchmen.
I'm really curious as to the context of this scene - the outfit is preserved like a museum piece, as in "this is Captain America's gear;" but it's NOT his actual gear (it can't be, he was wearing said gear when he was frozen)
I agree it's probably not meant to be his original gear, but
a) we don't know how long he was held, unconscious, and
b) are we really sure that he only had one suit? Must have had to do laundry at some point.
Just a tiny quibble.
Um... incidentally, why has nobody said "Avengers Assemble!" yet?
Yeah, I've wondered this, too. Surely they know this is the tag-line every geek is waiting for.
