The Avengers What was the Shakespeare reference?

[LoveDragonDon]

What exactly Iron Man said about the Shakespeare exchange between Thor and Loki? The quote?

 

[Scarlettess]

Shakespeare in the Park?

 

[TomPiltoff]

Haha, same guy who thought Loki was at a jazz concert thinks "doth mother know you weareth her drapes?" is an actual Shakespeare quote.

No offense, dude.

 

[jaqua99]

Thats not what he means I think. What I want to know, what was the reference? What did stark hear that mad him say that?

 

[The Sage]

It's just the way Loki and Thor speak.

 

[terry78]

I liked how he called Loki Rock of Ages on the plane, but it was so fast a lot of people didn't catch it.

 

[LoveDragonDon]

doth mother know you weareth her drapes?"

Oh that's what he said? I couldn't make it out.

The quip wasn't Shakespearean at all but Tony Stark did reference the infamous name (Shakespeare) in his mocking of Thor.

 

[Majik1387]

It's because Thor and Loki speak with each other as if they were in a Shakespearean play; There was no specific play reference, just the style of dialogue.

 

[jaqua99]

Thats not what I am wondering. The only thing stark heard Thor say was "Do not touch me again". Nothing "weird" about that

Also im sure his suit has super hearing, maybe he tweaked his mics to help him look for thor n loki. He wasnt following the whole time or else they wouldnt have time to talk

 

[Rock Sexton]

The line in the movie is absolutely hysterical. One of those unexpected Whedonesque gems.

 

[Drizzle]

Stark had heard Loki talk and more importantly he did his homework on the previous Thor incident.

He didn't seem to know about Thor, based on the fact that when he saw him he said, "And now there's that guy." And didn't he try to blast him when he got on the plane? If he knew that Thor was an ally, he wouldn't have attacked him so quickly. It's like Tony said in the same scene, there's a lot that Fury doesn't tell you.

He knew who Thor was. He also knew they were holding his brother prisoner. He didn't attack Thor, he raised his hands/repulsors, which is akin to drawing his weapon. He was prepared for a confrontation. Thor just beat him to the punch, so to speak.

With "And now there's that guy," he was just lamenting that they now have to deal with Thor. Just because he called him "that guy" doesn't mean he didn't know who he was. It was just because it was his first encounter with him.

Ya, Stark knew exactly who he was ..... Thor's information/picture/video was in that file Coulson delivered at Stark Tower. Calling him "that guy" was sarcastic.

I only saw the Destroyer in that clip he pulled up. Not to say that Thor wasn't in there. But it didn't seem like Steve knew who Thor was either when he showed up.

Cap said, "That guy's a friendly?!" Which means he knew who Thor was (or at least the Asgardians, since it was a response to Widow's comment about him being another Asgardian), and knew he was supposed to be an ally. Again, "that guy" doesn't mean they don't know who he his, it's just another way to refer to someone you're aware of, but have never met. It can just as easily mean, "that guy (I read about)."

He had heard Loki talking and Thor was wearing a cape with long blonde hair kinda looking like an Opera character. As he approached he probably saw them dramatically interacting. Throw in the fact it makes a good gag and I don't know why your analysing it this much.

I thought he said " Stark wait, he could be a friendly" .
To which Tony replied "It doesnt matter,he has our prisoner".
I could be wrong though .

[flickchick85]

He definitely says, "That guy's a friendly?!"

[flickchick85]

Yeah you're right. So both Cap and Stark already knew about him. My memory of Thor (the movie) is a little hazy so I'm not sure how much info SHIELD had on him.

Well, he only had a couple of conversations with Coulson, where it was established that SHIELD could consider him an ally. I'm sure they learned a lot more from Jane Foster and Selvig after the events of the film since they were both working with/for SHIELD at the end of the movie.

Look again. He was in there. All of the main Avenger candidates in question were.

The comment Steve makes about "That guys a friendly?" was because he saw Thor hit IM ..... hence making him question what the file had said.
