So...
will they introduce Thanos further in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie or something? They're gonna need to give him some beefy development prior to Avengers 2 like they did for Loki.
Actually I think Thor 2 will be just fine for this purpose.
The Infinity Gauntlet's in the trophy room in Asgard for whatever reason already.
I would have him trash Asgard in Thor 2 and take back the Tesseract. Before he got the infinity gauntlet, I am pretty sure comic Thanos had a cosmic cube, which is basically the same thing. The Avengers 2 can be the entire team (and Asgard) fighting a being who can control reality.
Actually, I forgot about this. Anyhow, I agree.

What was it exactly that allowed Black Widow
to surmise Loki's intentions to enrage Bruce Banner? Was it him saying something like "You've brought the real monster!"?

I'm still smh that people think those are bad movies.
Maybe at the end of Thor 2, but I highly doubt we'll see a Guardians of the Galaxy movie any time soon.
In 3D?
It's arguable that they aren't great, either. Avengers was on a whole other level in comparison to all of those, though.
Yeah,
the real monster's already with you
I would've been more than pleased if this movie was on the same level of Thor or CA, the fact that it seems to be better is great too though.
I'm actually hoping they save Thanos for Avengers 3. He's the ultimate villain and any movies you do after him won't look like a threat. Save him for the be all end all Avengers epic. Keep him looming in the shadows and post credit sequences until the third film.
For the second movie I say introduce Pym as a SHIELD scientist and do Ultron.

I liked everything about it except
.
Well done.
Thought that I would hate it.
Super Loki where he could somehow withstand Hulk fucking him up yet he only gets mild scratches on his face

On the note of Loki and Hulk...
How was Loki so well versed on the Hulk? And why would he have been part of his plans before going to Earth?
I'd rate Captain America above Iron Man 2 for sure, and on par with Iron Man.

He's well versed on everything. He's a god.

I assumed that he got the information from Hawkeye, and it wasn't part of his plan before that. Once he learned of it, I think he decided to try and enrage Hulk and get him to kill the other Avengers.
I had the impression that she was a superhumanly skillful interrogator during her first scene when it looks like she's been questioned, but she considers herself to be the one performing the actual interrogation.
Pretty sure no one said that, Feige might've said something along the lines of "I'd love to see Civil War on the big screen but I can't imagine that happening before Avengers 3" Or something like that.
Even by that time, they probably won't have enough heroes (and villains?) around to accurately convey the Civil War, imo.

He can withstand cosmic levels, a Hulk beat down is fairly okay
See Thor's post credit. Loki came to Earth and stayed close to Selvig (And SHIELD).

Yep.
He tipped his hand my referring to Banner as the real danger.
Although even that I think was a sideline. He knew he had hiscrew on the way to mess up stuff and he knew he was sowing dissent amongst the team as well.

Was he definitely part of the plan before going to Earth? I figured he got all the intel on Hulk from Barton, then incorporated the Hulk into his scheme and allowed himself to be captured.
brofist!
Shit... that would actually be very impressive if pulled off well, but
you NEED, at the very least, Spider-Man's involvement.
Also, I do really enjoy the arc, but I hate how Iron Man (my fave) is manipulated and stands for all the wrong things

Well, he is after all a Frost Giant, i guess he's like the ones from Asgard and have the superhuman strength like Thor who can go hand to hand against the Hulk
There's no way you could do that storyline any justice. Avengers 3 would be likely coming in what? 2017-2018 at the earliest? How many heros are they going to have established by then? Not many I bet.
Besides It's not worth doing without Spider-Man and the Fantastic 4 anyways.

They were "OK" movies. Until early reactions came in, this could have been like them.

Civil War can't be done with 6 heroes. It can't be done with 20 heroes, really. It only really works under Marvel's ridiculous comic book catalogue of heroes.

Thinking they were OK or fun is not what GAF does. You'll see fucking sucks far far more here.

Just saw this. I thought it was going to be bad since the rest of the recent Marvel films were but it was better than I expected. I went mainly for Hulk because I'm a big fan and didn't care much about the rest. It's funny it felt like there was more Hulk rage in this than in the last one with Norton. I really hope they give him his own film again after this and go all out.
There are probably lots of issues I didn't notice but the most glaring one was
I was also a bit angry that they gave away one of the best moments in the commercial (when Hulk catches Iron Man). If I hadn't seen this in the commercial it would've been much more rewarding on screen.

not explaining how Hulk was able to control himself. I went on imdb and people tried to say there was a gradual change throughout the film but that's not true at all there was no gradual shift it just went from crazy hulk to controlled hulk. And it threw away the continuity from the last Hulk since at the end of that one Norton had control over it.

Reboot Xmen and introduce them and you can just add in as many mutants as you want.

Look some people thought Punisher War Zone was a bad movie, you to deal with illogical behavior on message boards sometimes.

Um, i'm still processing what I watched but...
The Avengers will go down as THE greatest comic book film adaptation yet released
Whedon knocked out of the park. He made a film for comic book nerds. Not teenagers. Not couples. Not focus groups. Not the fucking Academy.
This film is for everyone out there who has loved comics since they were a kid.

Yes it's even better than the Dark Knight

Yeah, that bugged me too. The only explanation I have is Loki's scepter may have adversely affected him, which is why he had it in his hands without knowing when they were all arguing. But that's kind of flimsy.

Banner learned to control the transformation The Incredible Hulk, you can see at the end where he's meditating and starts to change. That doesn't mean he doesn't still have rage-induced meltdowns...in his first transformation on the Helicarrier he's hurt and pissed off, Hulk comes out in a destructive mindless rampage. The 2nd time he changes, it's completely voluntary and so Banner is able to share more control with Hulk. It's not really something you're going to get without really understanding how their relationship works, but in the climactic scene Hulk clearly understands that he's needed and needs to work with the team, so he's able to allow Banner more control.
saw it today in the uk, after it's been out for a week, definatley in my top marvel movies

I don't think
Thanos will be the main villain in two. At least I'm hoping he's not. He's too big of a character to not have a long substantial decade-long build up towards his character. My personal bet is going to be Ultron as Whedon was quoted saying that he wants Avengers Two to be smaller and more personal. Which I don't think would suit a climatic finish against Thanos. Kind of like how the Emperor was revealed in The Empire Strikes Back but didn't reach full resolution until Return of the Jedi.

Yea, I've noticed my standards for good movies and GAF's standards are waaaaayyy out of tune lol.
I'm fine with it though. I'm easily pleased, which is great with me

I'd be totally fine with this. Hopefully by the time it rolls around, they could have rights to way more characters to join the fight.
Thanos is the kind of guy you want the ENTIRE Marvel Universe out there defending against. Give us The Avengers, The New Avengers, The Fantastic Four and all the rest vs. Thanos!
