Iron Man built up to the last scene throughout the entire movie, so it wasn't just some out of the blue post-credits scene, it was something that grew organically out of Coulson's involvement in the film. Just as the credits scene in IM2 came out of what was going on in that film, any post-credit scene shouldn't just be something thrown in there for the sole purpose of riling up the audiences - it should be something that reflects not only the movie it follows, but the universe as a whole. To me, just throwing in the SHIELD bits for a thirty second teaser would be a huge mistake if the context of what we're seeing isn't there. If we removed all SHIELD scenes from Iron Man 2, we'd get the idea of what's happening, but it would be something that would require more set-up in the future, which would make the Avengers movie more like a game of catch-up than a movie that encompasses this shared universe.
^^^ That's true. However...
I hope they stem that flow for the next two films.
Following that progression would point to Cap being like a half about the avengers (and with the first avenger title, that's a lot)
Thor and Cap both need their own films, and they shouldn't have much more than IM 1 did as far as avengers-setup
Strike when the Hammer is hot.
If you space out the sequels/tie in movies too far apart, then the hype and marketing of the THOR + CAPTAIN AMERICA movie will die down and they won't get that spill-over of excitement for the AVENGERS movie.
I mean we all know how a lot of sequels haven't turned out well due to delays and huge gaps from the original movie.
However, pre-planning multiple sequels/tie-ins seems a little risky.
Especially if they don't fit well with the larger picture.
Don't get me wrong, I'm loving this multiple movie tie-in.
I just hope they don't screw it up, purely to ****e out the individual and over all franchises for more profit.
