I thought you made it
Thor and Stark competing on which one had the better girlfriend was funny
though I didn't realize it until Widow pointed it out :lol
The party scene was super fun. So good seeing the character from those different movies gather and have little talk. It's something that I thought could only be done in comics and animated movies due to logistics.

We shouldn't have to spoiler tag our posts given this is the spoiler thread, right? I guess I'll tag them anyway in the odd chance that someone should happen to click this thread by mistake.
Continuing on from my thoughts in the spoiler-free thread:
Continuing on from my thoughts in the spoiler-free thread:
I also felt that a lot was cut out of the first half of the film. For example, Thor's vision of Asgard felt incomplete, as was his reunion with Selvig and their journey to the pool. Thor's vision is where I think Loki was actually meant to make an appearance along with Heimdall, and then a connection would be drawn between his continued existence and the Infinity Stones - but for whatever reason that was left on the cutting room floor, and the end result was a bit of a confusing mess.
I actually liked Vision though, as he made a nice complement to the destructive tendency of Ultron (although I'm not particularly sure why he was capable of lifting Mjolnir - what made him worthy but not Captain America?).
Hmm, let's see, what else...? Oh yeah, Tony Stark's "You and Banner had not better not have been playing 'Hide the Zucchini'" got such a massive laugh from the audience. Oh so classy. The Black Widow/Hulk relationship was believable - I will admit that a part of me cringed inside when Widow was captured and subsequently broke free with the aid of Banner, but I think the film managed to steer away from falling into that damsel trope.
I'm not surprised that Quicksilver was the one to die, honestly. I could kind of see it coming from the beginning, since so much more focus was placed on Wanda and her abilities.

So was the post credits scene with

He used it against Hulk, that action scene was one of the good ones.
Yep.

How accurate is what I know of the movie so far, in terms of percentage?
That's all what I have seen and read without having seen the movie yet (will on Saturday). How accurate is this in terms of percentage?
[edit] Guess I'll spoiler tag since others are doing it.
It starts off with the Avengers team infiltrating von Struckers base, stealing Loki's sceptre, and after having learned that the twins got their enhancements with the help of the staff, Tony comes up with the idea of using it to create Ultron, seeing as Scarlet Witch' vision showed him all of the Avengers dead in the future.
Ultron turns bad, and the Avengers have to stop him which they will by the end, but they will also turn Scarlet Witch, after her brother dies in the final battle against the Ultron army. A quinjet kills off Quicksilver, Hulk retires and flies away, and Thor goes back to Asgaard. Vision uses Thor's hammer, and Tony quits the team as he feels guilty.
A new Avengers team is set up by the end, consisting of Captain America, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch (who gets a new costume), War Machine, Falcon and Vision.

It's because of Hawkeye, but other than that it's 100%
edit: sorry I meant it happened because of Vision.

95%, but there is one point that isn't accurate.

Can tell already Thanos is going to suck. No build up to him getting the gauntlet.
Well we have GOTG 2, but I'm not sure about using Thanos as the main enemy for two movies.
...although Thor keeps using Loki.

So what kind of relationship do they have? Is it romantic (do they kiss) or more a friendzone one like she has with Hawkeye?
Former
There better some decent build-up to Thanos on the road to Infinity War, since knowing who Thanos is as a character and his motivations for him doing what he does makes it far more interesting when he does get the Infinity Gauntlet and when pretty much everyone shows up to stop him.
Knowing Marvel though, he'll only take a significant role in the films of Infinity War and die in Part 2, never to be seen again.
I'm still hoping Thanos Quest is a at least a subplot in one of the cosmic Phase 3 movies.

Any scene like this in the movie?
Yep. It was very well handled.
Well at the moment I really don't like what they are doing with Thanos. In the first Avengers he gives Loki the sceptre and an army to conquer the Earth in return for the cube, which contains an infinity stone. This film we find out there is an infinity gem in the sceptre. So why would you give Loki the sceptre if you are after the infinity stones.
Couple that with the Guardian of the Galaxy where he gets outplayed by both Gamora and Ronan he really seems like someone who does not know what he's doing. And now he just gets the Gauntlet. I don't know but I really hope this all gets addressed in phase 3.

How is the Avengers Academy and the new team lineup introduced? I mean specifically, shots and dialogue.
It's at the end. Basically first you have Tony driving up and revealing the building. Then inside Tony, Thor and Steve argue about Vision and Mjolnir. Fury walks up to Black Widow talking about how something that resembles the Quinjet crashed of the coast of Fiji and Banner might send a postcard. Thor says his goodbye's to Steve and Tony outside and leaves earth. Then Tony says his goodbye's to Steve and tells Steve he might settle down like Clint has settled. Steve says he will really miss Tony, Tony asks why Steve won't settle down and Steve responds by saying the man who wanted to settle died 70 years ago. Then Steve and Natascha discuss the new team how they are not ready. Steve tells her they will train them, proceeds to open the door and then we see shots of Rhodey in War Machine gear, Vision, Falcon in his new gear and Wanda in her new gear. Camera turns to Steve who says Avenger's A- cut to credits.
The camera shows the new place, with a line on the screen saying where it was (don't remember where). Cap and Stark exchange a few lines, Stark drives off. Cap collects Widow who has been staring at an interesting wall for a while and goes to meet the new guys. They exchange a few lines about making a team out of them, the camera show them in their gear, cap says "Avengers..."
And cut to credits.
The one on the right must've been cut since she didn't show up at the pool, the one on the left might be from Thors vision?
First lady is someone in Thor's Vision, a party guest. The second lady does not appear in the film at all.

Not major spoilers but figured i'd ask here but avoiding spoilers myself.
1. Any soundtrack snipits from Avengers 1 or solo movies?
2. Does Cap fight more TWS style?

Part of the issue is how Marvel is kind of making it up as they go along. As an example, the one scene in Guardians where the Collector explains the Infinity Gems, his holographic slideshow or whatever starts showing the modern incarnations of the Gems, and the ones we haven't seen yet are kept juuust out of frame. In a more blatant example, I think there was a quote in The Avengers where it's mentioned that the sceptre was powered by the Tesseract, so the sceptre being the Mind Gem is a pretty obvious retcon.
So in the case of the first Avengers, Thanos giving Loki a mere mystical object to help gain allies to conquer Earth and obtain the Tesseract makes sense, since he doesn't even lose much if Loki fails. But giving Loki the Mind Gem in order to find another Gem seems incredibly risky, especially since it seems as the sceptre nerfs the Mind Gem of it's full potential, which definitely doesn't help Loki in gaining the Tesseract.
Another issue is that I'm pretty sure the Gauntlet was somewhere on Asgard, so I'm curious as to how he snuck up there to grab it without anyone there being suspicious as to who he is and why he's on Asgard.
1.I recognized the Avengers 1 theme, several times but it's not used as awesomely.
2. Not really, he's not as cool as in TWS, it's comparable to Avengers 1, he uses his shield a lot.

Wait, that contradicts a post earlier on this same page. I am confused now.
I just saw the movie, I would've noticed ...
IGN review said the hulkbuster battle happens in Wakanda. so how much Wakanda is there in the movie, is Black Panther mentioned at all (if only in passing, King T'Challa or something), and is Vibranium involved in Ultron?

I haven't even seen the movie and I know IGN is full of crap on that one.
Vibranium is definitely involved, but I'm not sure the battle takes place in Wakanda...
It says "South Africa" or something like that. Wakanda is mentioned but the city where the battle takes place might be in a different country.
It's not Wakanda where the fight happens. Klaw stole Vibranium, Ultron buys it off of him for billions of dollars. Wakanda is mentioned by Banner when analysing Klaws mark he got for stealing the Vibranium. T'Challa is not mentioned at all.
Talk about short and sweet.
Yeah, it's not in there. It would be a perfect moment to have said it towards the end when they are all together in the church and ultron is there with his army.
I still dont know how i feel about vision wielding thor's hammer.... Really shouldve saved it for cap and thanos.
