The scene with Magneto and the three Nazis was the highlight of the movie for me.

Yeah definitely.

About The Avengers credits scene -

Spoiler

I didn't know who Thanos was before, but having read up on him he seems pretty cool. Problem for me is a complete CGI character and someone who has engineered this plot for Loki has seen it fail; what else can he come up with?

Someone who's seen the film and knows comics -

Spoiler

whats the Infinity Gauntlet and Thanos thing? Are they intrinsically linked? Is that where Avengers 2 is going?

Wikipedia has too many things going on haha

Infinity gauntlet was a device (gauntlet) created by joining several gems which controlled various aspects of the universe. You would have complete control of each aspect in your possession. Having all of them gave you full control of reality. The gems were the by product of a god which died and who's remains because the universe and the gems. In the Thor movie, its actually depicted as an artifact in asgardian care, so naturally its not as powerful in the movie fiction.

Was the Infinity Gauntlet shown in Thor? How did I miss that?

It's not about spoilering that comic, is that mentioning that comic makes pretty obvious what the mid-credits scene is.

There were a bunch of items in the background lol.

Fassbender is great in everything. Honestly, they should have just filmed the original script for Magnieto - Origins. The one with Erik hunting down Nazi war criminals all over the world and the U.S recruiting Xavier to help track him down... Only to have them end up sympathising with each other and becoming friends.

That would have been an awesome movie to watch.

Argh.

I loved First Class and you make me like it less now that I know this version could have been.

Doesn't Marvel still produce the Fox movies? I thought the only issue was they can't have team-ups. Otherwise, I thought marvel was allowed to have their hands in the development. I would be surprised if they didn't.

I want to see a Daredevil movie in Marvel's hands. Character is awesome. If I knew enough about comics I'd write scripts for them all and play them out in my head

They are going to have to power down Thanos even without Infinity Gauntlet he is strong as hell , with it he would bitch slap the Avengers and drink a the beer same time.

This movie was great have to go and see it again .

Or power up the Avengers. But seriously, in general these movies are pretty powered down. I like how they said fuck it Hulk is a force of goddamn nature though.

 

[Alx]

CA doesn't do as much smashing as hulk obviously, but he's a great leader figure and is handled really well - I think you'll like it.

I'm not sure about that. Most of the time in the movie, he

Spoiler

acts like a fish out of the water, which he is.

I can remember only two moments of leadership,

Spoiler

one where he gives instructions to the cops (with comical effect), which was ok but nothing heroic, and one where he completely fails at strategy, with his "let's fight all the grunts, we'll deal with the portal later" stance. If the Avengers had followed his instructions to the letter, they would have lost the fight.

 

[Arjen]

Yeah definitely.

I've gone three times. The last two, people remained silent when

showed up.

First time, though? People cheered and went bonkers. I assume most people were comic book fans since it was the opening day, and the rest would join because fuck why not? But it was still very awesome to see such a reaction.

Infinity Gauntlet is one of the most famous Marvel crossover events in the comics. Thanos is the main villain, and he basically bitch slaps the entire Marvel Universe. It's pretty cool.

Lol.... me three. I felt a geek among geeks.

 

[Diprosalic]

I did the same damn shit.

i knew it too and after the movies everyone outside heard me explaining it to my friends and dozens came over and asked me about it since they didn't know. i felt like a huge nerd, but a popular one.

Ah, I can confirm that second post-credits scene. I would have liked to seen that, seems pretty funny.

So is this second post credit scene going to be attached to the wide release on Friday? Or is it something being left for blu-ray?

Dang.


I guess this is the price for being first.

I got the second scene details. I can't believe it.

Spoiler

Scene: the whole Avengers team post-battle quietly eating shwarma for about a minute, no dialogue.

It's odd because Hemsworth made an unrelated remark in one of his interviews recently about

I hope to god I am not being trolled and being denied some juicy stuff

Ok, I took the risk and read this spoiler.

Because they went insane in the showing I went to.

Yes, very much so, but

really brought the theatre down. The attendance were already racouous and completely sold on the movie, but man... I think I even screamed for a couple of seconds out of pure geek joy.

I was wondering about that, too, so I went and watched it again!

Yes, it does. One the one hand, I now know the jokes, on the other hand, I could almost enjoy it more than the first time. I was less apprehensive, because I already knew they didn't mess it up.

Also, the second time was in 2D.

Loki is a god. He'd be weaker strength wise compared to Thor but he'd still be much stronger than Cap. Yeah, Cap got owned in that fight :-/.
