Oh yeah :woot:
 
I don't think Loki taking Jane hostage is too cliche, if nothing else because he said he'd go after her in his fight with Thor. We all know he's thinking about it. When it comes to Portman's involvement in this film I really just think it came down to scheduling and probably her wanting to be a mom for a little bit. Not a huge loss really, but like I said, she'll get a mention. And that whole arc will probably be used in Thor 2.

I don't like the damsel-in-distress idea, because I feel that we have seen it happened way too often in the Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. MJ always get kidnapped by GG/Ork/Venom or whatever, and Parker had to save her. I also don't think they can fit a subplot of Loki kidnapping Jane to get back at Thor, and on top of that Natalie Portman was recovering from her pregnancy so I doubt she would've been available. I'm glad Whedon didn't go this route.

And not to burst any bubbles, but why is the hellicarrier working everyone up so much? It's not exactly the thing that floors me. I feel like I've seen tons of flying battleships throughout cinematic history. Nothing new. The Quinjet is probably cooler honestly.

Helicarrier is amazing because for The Avengers, we are treated to a world not unlike our own, despite having all those superheroes all over the place. So the wonder that we experience seeing Iron Man, Thor, and Capt. America do their thing is the same watching a huge super carrier literally propell itself out of the water; it's awesome.

Exactly. Jane seems never to be a damsel in distress to me and I don't need this in the Avengers movie. Thor will have enough drama with his brother.

For peopel who can't wait to see Jane Foster, Thor 2 is scheduled to be released in 2013 so they'll get their fix real soon. It is a better arrangement as well because they'll be able to truly develop the relationship between Thor and Jane in the sequel, instead of using Jane as a plot device in TA just so Loki can peeve off his older brother some more, as if Thor doesn't have enough reason to go after Loki and his plan to destroy the citizens of Earth already.
 
About the final battles, I'd guess that, besides Thor VS. Loki, we'll also see.

Captain America fighting the General.

Either Iron Man or Hulk (maybe both?) taking down the second Leviathan.

Black Widow and Hawkeye fighting mooks.
 

That is absolutely the most ******ed bit of non-news I've seen about The Avengers yet. I'd gladly read a completely made up scoop about Galatcus and Thanos teaming up to tag team Widow as the after credits scene before I read another thing like that. Jesus.

I wonder if Mr. Archery Guru over yonder has ever gotten off the lanes and practiced tactical bow firing with the military. Form is the first thing we learn and the last thing we apply on live fire ranges (can't speak for combat since I never carried a bow downtown).

Just watched the 2 trailers, the SB spot, and the Japanease trailer on my PS3. I highly recommend it.
 
Ok i'm sorry if it's already been mentioned, but when I made my own screen caps I caught a good one of pepper and I swear that looks like Liv Tyler behind her and also that dude, Betty's boyfriend from the movie. Can't remember his name....

No, that's just some young dude. Ty Burrell was Dr. Sampson in TIH. And the screencap you took didn't show the woman who was standing's face so I don't know why anyone would think that's Liv Tyler

Just had a look, nah it's just some randoms. Also the guy was Doc Samson :).
 
^ Leonard Samson, played by Ty Burrell.

I don't think it's them.

But I did catch her face. It's not totally clear, but it's a pretty good catch. Only part of her it didn't catch was her forehead. :woot:

No, that's not mine. If anyone could advise me as to how I can get this screencap up...Those Tyler lips are unmistakable. lol
