The Avengers The Avengers Post Screening Review & Discussion Thread (SPOILER FILLED) - Part 3

[Sockin]

For those who have seen it, how much screentime does Maria Hill has?

Is she involved in any action scenes?

So does Loki fights every single avenger from the team ?

Spoiler

She has a good chunk. Probably about 15-20 minutes. Yes, she's involved in two fight scenes. She's a major part of one in the very beginning.

Loki takes on every member at least once.

If I'm asking a question to the people who have seen the film to get an idea of the film, is not what I originally asked a legit question?

You weren't simply asking a question, you flat out called the films logic stupid without having seen the thing. Expect reprisals. You think someone could stroll onto the batboards and get away that "guess that's knock #1" comment? Please.

Anyway, I suggest you should drop it if your finally satisfied.

 

[McLovin]

I like Superman and Batman films just as much as Iron Man and Spider-Man films

Is that against the rules?

Did that girl have to take her top off? haha

Sorry thought u were making a joke about the waitress

The girl with the Flash sweatshirt from what I remember was quite portly so no, he didn't ask her to disrobe
Many men would have fallen

 

[Vulklin]

So I have stumbled on a spoiler?

Does a waitress get semi naked during Avengers?

 

[TheVileOne]

There were military in the movie. We see the military rolling in and helping civilians escape off the streets into the subways.

I think it's a logical question one would want answered, but by you saying its stupid; Im guessing people assumed you were referring to the whole movie as being stupid not the fact WM wasn't in it. Anyways, we should all be able to ask questions freely.

Answers:

In reality, they're several reasons why he isn't in it. First, the battle takes place in NY, Rhodes lives in Cali. The alien invasion came out of nowhere and by the time rhodes would hear about it and fly over, the movie would already be over.

The movie is about the Avengers, Rhodes is not an Avenger. (Anyways, can you imagine having Rhodes but no Pym, the fans would go crazy.) The movie is all about all these people fighting one another and then suddenly having to put their differences aside and save the world. That's what the NY battle is, them working together. WM would be helpful for the battle, but for the movie itself he wouldn't make sense since he wasn't mentioned at all. I wouldn't want him just popping out of nowhere, it would defeat the purpose of them putting their differences aside. It just works, you'll see what I mean when you see it.

The US govn ordered an attack on NY, no military personnel was called in. So by orders, Rhodes wouldnt be allowed to enter the war zone.

These are my ideas as to why he wasn't in it or mentioned at all.

Does anyone die in the film like rumoured?

Yes.

I think that was more like the FEMA/National Guard or Homeland Security

Spoiler

Not the full blown Army
Will have to check that next at theatre

It was made pretty clear there was none because even NYPD asked about the Army and the military advisers were taking a bombing stance

The only two members of the military I remember are
1. Navy pilot who Fury shot down
2. Navy pilot who fired the Nuke

 

[Nevincer]

Spoiler

Yes.

Spoiler

Who?

 

[Sockin]

Coulson.

 

[McLovin]

Spoiler

I would estimate a good 2,000 people died

 

[Nevincer]

Spoiler

Coulson.

Spoiler

Whoa, seriously? I thought he was signed on for more MCU films?

 

[flickchick85]

I have a question wich is a bit dificult i guess for those who are not familiar with Whedons work at large.

In the trailers i have seen two of the actors who worked with Joss on his series Dollhouse.

One is Enver Gjokaj

Who plays a policeman and the other is Ashley Johnsosn.

Who is the principal waitress who looks out the REstaurant window while destruction inssues outside on the trailer.

I am curious as if they have at least one line or two on the movie, even if Ashley might be the famous waitress everybody is talking about, or they are just a "blink and you´ll miss them" cameo for Joss and Dollhouse fans.

Enver's role is pretty "blink and you'll miss it," but he does have a couple of lines. Ashley's role is a bit more memorable. Also, I noticed in the credits that Alexis Denisof was in the film, but I have no idea who he played. He was credited as [blackout]The Other[/blackout], and I'm not sure what character that would be referring to.

Yeah. Loki kills him. Loki traps Thor in the cage he was in and is about to drop him. Coulson comes in with a Destroyer inspired gun and threatens Loki with it. Loki then stabs him in the back with the spear and we find out the Loki that he was confronting was a copy. Right before he dies he blasts Loki with the gun.

His death is the one that convinces the team and to a larger extent, Tony, to work together.

 

[McLovin]

Maybe he was a random SHIELD trooper?

Might have been the hooded Chitauri general.

 

[flickchick85]

Might have been the hooded Chitauri general.

Could be, but if he was, someone else had to be doing the voice. There was no trace of Denisof in that voice.

He was probably Hulk, "The Other Guy"

 

[flickchick85]

Haha, his voice would be so hilariously wrong for Hulk, lol.

Speaking of, I thought Lou Ferrigno was supposed to be voicing Hulk? When Hulk spoke, he sounded like Ruffalo to me.

Dunno. I saw Hulk say something [BLACKOUT]after he beat the **** out of Loki[/BLACKOUT], but the audience was too busy cheering so I didn't hear what he said. What was it?

EDIT: THAT, and the roaring he kept doing was WAY different from Ferrigno's in TIH. So it probably WAS Ruffalo.

 

[Pond]

Thanks to all who answred.

It might be [BLACKOUT]the chitauri general with a voice make up too[/BLACKOUT], or also that he was cut out of the movie in the last minute; i remember when Kubrick cut The Shining for the international version one of cut actors name still figured prominently on the opening credits.

By the way... How was Jenny Agutters role?

 

[McLovin]

I asked this before & never got an answer but what happened in Budapest between BW & HEye?
