It is worth the 3D experience by the way. The 3D is great. It's a shame Bob didn't mention that for people but felt the need to explain the classic tale of how the Avengers comics came about as useless information for 2 minutes.DarkhoIlow said:I'm glad they did an awesome job with this movie.

Perhaps one of the covers for the actual comics was the same?person427 said:Yeh i know, but if you look closely, each character has pretty much the exact same pose as there counterpart!arc1991 said:The Justice Friends were supposed to be a parody of the Avengers.

And the fireball hitting the building in pretty much the same area over Captain America and whoever the other guy is!

Agreed so hard. And I like that Cap didn't let the modern world overwhelm him too much, because some things never change, and somebody has to punch a would-be world conqueror in the face.aegix drakan said:Followed by an awesome iron man moment. XDMerrick_HLC said:I will agree that scene's probably the weakest in the entire film, but I forgive it simply because it was, to me, an awesome Cap moment.
Yeah, that was a way out-of-left-field retcon in the comics. HYDRA (always capitalize) created the organization that routinely beats them up & foils their schemes? That's a very elaborate version of punching yourself in the face.Vault Citizen said:In the first issue of the comic series Secret Warriors Nick Fury discovers that S.H.I.E.L.D was in fact set up Hydra and that Hydra had been running it since the beginning. I wonder if we might see a similar revalation with the secret board of shadowy figures
Especially consideringthe nuke they sent at New York, which if they were Hydra would both defeat the invading army and kill off the Avengers, giving them the perfect excuse to continue Stage 2 and whatever else they wanted
There isn't much evidence so I wouldn't call it a theory, more a musing or what if?
Not to be picky but this movie and all of it's predecessors have been for the fans. That's what made them successful, they said "lets make a movie the fans will like based on some of the most popular characters of the most popular comic publishing universe" and not "Lets make a movie like the average action movie and through a comic book character as the main guy"Laughing Man said:A thought regarding the mid credit scene.
I am not a comic book fan, I saw Hulk and Spider Man when they came out and only went to see Ironman after seeing the previews, I knew nothing of The Avengers and the end scene in Ironman, which I thought was great, was interesting but didn't peak my interest though I did recognise that it meant something big was coming. It wasn't until they did the same thing after The Incredible Hulk that I started to gain some interest in what the long term plan was. I didn't see Thor or Captain American at release I did see Iron Man 2 at the cinema though and eventually saw Thor and Captain American on Blu-ray. By now the whole Avengers thing was pretty set and yeah I was interested, but my knowledge of the Avengers universe only extended as far as what I had seen in the movies.
So here's the point, The Avengers was f*cking awesome but that last scene meant nothing to me, I had no idea who the person was. The movies worked nicely for the uninitiated but that end scene was clearly for the fans.
I know now who the person is and what that persons significance is but that's because I had to go and find out via google.
Chiauri, which was the Ultimate Universe's name for Skrulls. Because I think Skrulls are tied up with Fantastic Four and Fox. But they had no real Skrull-ish features so really they're just generic aliens.Zaul2010 said:So who did the Aliens turn out to be? (If they are a new thing don't be specific)
But surly even for a non-fan, a big purple freaky guy at least makes you go "huh, there will be a sequel".Laughing Man said:So here's the point, The Avengers was f*cking awesome but that last scene meant nothing to me, I had no idea who the person was.

Well, that's one of Whedon's trademarks.omegawyrm said:I'm surprised no one's talking about how they
killed Agent Coulson. He'd really grown on me over the past few movies and I totally didn't see that coming. It was pretty much the only bit of the movie that genuinely surprised me.
First Star-Burns and now this. Are no tertiary characters safe?
Sorry, but how could that whiny brat possibly be a favourite villain? He takes orders from some faceless aliens and gets tossed around by individual avengers. His whole motivation is a childhood inferiority complex and some megalomaniacal delusions.Safaia said:Loki is probably one of my favorite villains of all time, and the entire cast just owns their roles. I loved this movie, it was what I wanted, and I don't know when I'll be able to walk out of the theater without a big stupid grin on my face.
