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

[flickchick85]

Indeed:

Spoiler

Given how AIM and Modok has been connected with the Cosmic Cube at times in the comics, it would have been a interesting cameo to see Loki being aided briefly by AIM troops in the film, manipulating them to think that he'd help them with the cosmic cube with them supplying him with resources and such, but yeah, I'm sure based on everyone's thoughts that it worked out well in the context of the film.

Personally, I'm leaning on unnamed SHIELD enemies based on the quote you just gave from Fury, plus, unless told otherwise.lol..I don't think Loki gained control of any other SHIELD agents besides Barton and Selvig during his arrival on Earth.

Spoiler

That line about SHIELD's enemies wasn't from Fury, it was from one of the "baddies"...I wanna say Hawkeye (when under Loki's control)? But otherwise, I think you're right, that's probably what they were supposed to be. I suppose Hawkeye could have known enough to get them cleared to land on the Helicarrier as well, so that didn't necessarily mean they were SHIELD agents.

some1 PLEASEEEE tell me...is stark tower as awesome as his lab? i mean, with the holographic environment as well?

 

[Captain Marvel]

*blink*

I want to see this movie NOW!

 

[samsnee]

So what would you say Hulk's total screen time is? I know he makes the most of it when he's there, but it sounds like maybe only 15 minutes during the Helicarrier sequence and maybe 15 minutes at the end?

Also, I believe there was an AIM cameo in the first Iron Man movie. Their name was on the side of a truck or something along with Roxxon.

 

[RetrogradeOrbit]

Must stay away from here until after April 26th....

Yes but you don't get the guided tour or anything

I would say Hulk total screen time is about 40min
Banner's total screen time much more than that

 

[Iceman]

Sounds plenty.

 

[samsnee]

Sounds plenty.

I agree, although I would have liked to have had Hulk interact with people beyond just doing feats of strength. I'm not saying he needs to have full conversations like the Professor, but it would have been nice to see another aspect of him. But that's just a minor nitpick.

 

[Flemm]

My reaction while reading this ----> O_O

Yeah, sounds amazing

 

[T"Challa]

Yeah, sounds amazing

It was. Absolutely terrific sequence

 

[The Morningstar]

Are there moments where Thor and Hulk are genuinely in trouble?

 

[McLovin]

You would think Hulk was going to die but somehow survives a fall from 50,000 ft!

Thor, I think was in trouble had he been hit by Iron Man's unibeam but Capt America stopped him

 

[Xeno]

Thor was definitely in peril. (Only read if you want to be spoiled.)

Spoiler

When he was trapped in the Hulk cage, Loki said something along the lines of, "They think we can't die. Let's put that to the test, shall we?" Then he opened the bottom and sent Thor and the cage on a five-mile drop. Bastard.

 

[steintym]

Oh damn, I've got to get out of here quick. I have no ability to resist spoilers, I shouldn't have even taken a look in here.

 

[ElMariachi]

Is the Thor/IM fight longer than the 1 min. clip that was recently released?

 

[Erik Lehnsherr]

I want to know what happens after the Thor vs Iron man in that new clip...

Was Thor winning?

 

[Sockin]

Is the Thor/IM fight longer than the 1 min. clip that was recently released?

Oh yeah. That whole fight runs a good 5-6 minutes. There's a great exchange between the two of them when the first start fighting.

Spoiler

They continue fighting until Cap intervenes and tries to talk the two of them down. That doesn't really sit well with Thor and he attacks Cap with the hammer, after Cap tells Thor to "put the hammer down." and Thor leaps at him screaming, "I'll put the hammer down!" (trailer shot) and once it hits the shield it sends a shockwave throughout the forest and levels part of it. The three of them just stand there looking at each other, exhausted. More of a "Maybe we shouldn't be fighting..." type thing. So no one really wins.

Thanks

But, I'm curious... Was Thor the upper hand? i mean, did thor look as the superior rival? i don't wanna think that Thor shows a power equal like IM.

Up until Thor inadvertently charges Iron Man up I would say he has the upper hand.

that doesn't sound good. I was hopping Whedon to shows Thor as the invincible opponent.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Glad he didn't, there is nothing fun about an invincible character.

 

[Erik Lehnsherr]

I mean Thor vs Iron man in a equally fight? We all know that's impossible.

 

[The Morningstar]

What i've seen in that clip impressed me in terms of Thor's power level. That's why i was curious to know if he or Hulk are in any physical peril in the movie, seeing as Thor tanks repulsor blasts and punches comfortably enough without any visible damage. Also crushing IMs armour with his bare hands, good strength feat, which was missing from his solo film. The head butt exchange was a thing of beauty.
