I honestly felt the Gem was doing something to cause it.

Also Starlord and Gamoras :stare: face after that was pretty hilarious.

I was thinking about how great it will be to see the Guardians meet the Avengers.

I am Groot

Also Quill and Stark will get a long very well.

I want the final battle to be planned out by Cap and Rocket. Just complete tactical mastery of the situation

It makes the most 'sense' for Hawkeye to die because he has had the least amount of character development of any member of the Avengers. Not to mention with 3 new members being added, having one less makes the movie seem less overcrowded.

Also what the gently caress is a guy with arrows going to do against Thanos

I can see why they want an Antman movie so badly now.

Isn't antman only capable of shrinking to the size of...an ant? Photons are a whole different scale there.

Watching the final battle I could see why they went with the Nova Corp using ships since having them flying around with lazer hands would be pretty hectic to show on film.

It would also really show up the guardians when there is an entire army of dudes who can fly, shoot lasers and have super strength. The kids in the audience would be going "Why isn't the movie about those guys??"

It means that he's always angry. He only Hulks out when he loses his temper, but the anger to fuel that temper is always there. All he has to do is let it happen.

That was my interpretation, anyway. There's no point where they sit down and make that explicit.

Yeah he's probably constantly suppressing the urge to hulk out. When he gets really stressed out it, he loses control like when he jumps out of the helicopter or when hawkeye blows up the helicarrier engine.

I don't care if they say "Avengers Assemble" or not. Iconic battlecry or not, it would be kind of awkward to say out loud unless it's over a radio to call the team together or something. Also if anybody is saying it, it's Cap. What's wrong with you people.

Thor's Ultron line can definitely work (and needs to happen IMO). I'm not entirely convinced Hemsworth can deliver it properly, but I didn't think they could pull off a Thor movie either.

Iron Man 2 really is the worst for a lot of reasons. Hardly any (good) action, a good 20-30 minutes is basically an advertisement for the Avengers, the 'sins of the father' subplot turns out to be completely whitewashed as the Stark family is just flawlessly sinless. They also more or less completely ignore any kind of growth Stark had in the first movie.

Also the various branches of the US military/HammerCorp get the tech to build iron man drones and no mention of this is ever made again.

I think the most impressive thing about that video is that they somehow found enough footage to fill a more than two hour video of Loki

The reason was they didn't have time in the Avengers to really deal with a major plot point from Thor.

I don't recall that being said in Thor 2, but regardless - that's a huge disrespect for the end of Thor. Thor is sacrificing his chance of EVER seeing her again. It's established that breaking the bridge cuts them off from Earth forever.

People said this in the first Thor movie thread too and I still don't get it. Why would they be cut off forever? They built the thing, couldn't they just build another one?

I'm rewatching Avengers for the millionith time, and when I first saw it, I thought that Thor super charging Iron Man was going to come back into play. Like at the end when they are fighting the big battle Thor would supercharge it again, and Tony would destroy a big chunk of the Chitauri.

But they already did a pointless-but-cool-looking move with Iron Man bouncing his repulsors off Cap's shield.

616 Cap will kill people if he has to. He's a soldier. But he won't assassinate someone or kill a person if he can avoid it, or if they're not a threat. None of them would like a murder squad.

Yeah the sequence on the ship at the beginning is a good example; there's a dude reaching for a fire alarm and Cap had a knife in his hand. He could have thrown the knife into the dude's throat or aimed for the heart, but he threw the knife at his hand and just knocked him out instead.

Or if they could somehow work magic and have Avengers 3 start out on Earth and end with a showdown (with the GotG) against Thanos and GotG 3 would start out in space and ends with a showdown(with the Avengers) against Thanos.

Basically the same story but from two different perspectives.

The ears sticking out of the helmet look really weird. Like, try and imagine Batman trying to pull that off.

It would look weird on Batman cause he already has the bat ears. I think it looks fine on Cap. Or maybe I'm just biased cause his Avenger suit had his ears covered and that suit looks so bad, especially right next to his other suits like that.

His WW2 suit still owns though

I think Wolverine comments shortly after that that the X-Men are lucky Spidey doesn't kill because he could've killed every single one of them. One of my favorite Spidey fight scenes and shows that while he isn't always the fastest or strongest or most agile out there, his unique combination of abilities, spider sense, and his unorthodox fighting style makes him an unpredictable foe.

I vaguely remember a comic where someone (Wolverine?) is trying to prevent Spiderman from escaping something and his internal monologue is basically how screwed he is because Spiderman has gone up against guys like the Hulk and the Juggernaut and nobody has ever managed to squish the bug.

If they ever do get Spiderman in one of the Avengers movies it'd be great to have a Spidey-fan pandering scene where he basically clowns the entire team.

I never liked that X-Men was contained in the same Universe as the rest of Marvel anyways. It made no sense that Mutants were persecuted with extreme hatred but super-powered people that weren't Mutants were adored as heroes. Or that anyone could even tell them apart. How could Joe Nobody know that Spider-Man and Captain America aren't Mutants? It's not like their origins are public knowledge. Heroes don't go around telling everyone they meet how they got their powers unless they're Reed Richards.

I'm pretty sure people do hate/distrust Spider Man and Captain America's origin is public knowledge, not to mention he canonically punched Hitler in the face and is a war hero.

I think a lot of love for Guardians is that recent superhero movies before it were all kind of downers; Superman snaps his first supervillian's neck and thousands of people die, Gwen Stacy is killed, partially because of Spiderman's actions, Cap finds out his childhood friend is a brainwashed assassin and the government is secretly nazis.

Then GotG comes along and is just like "lets hold hands and defeat evil through the power of friendship" and its just great.
