I know this has probably been asekd like a hundred times in this thread, but why couldn't control Bruce the Hulk on the ship even though later he can ebcause he's angry all the time? Didn't get that at all.

He felt threatened on the ship. Threatened by Fury, threatened by Loki, threatened by the fact that he was stuck thousands of miles in the air with no way to escape, threatened by whatever attacked the ship and he was probably being influenced by the scepter.

Hulk surfaced to protect himself (and Banner) from those perceived threats. (that's my take on it)
 
Did anyone catch what the tattoo was on the arm of the bad guy, when Hawkeye was on the plane about to attack the helicarrier?
 
Another great moment I rarely see mentioned is when Iron Man headbutts Thor and Thor headbutts him right back. Great way to show how thickheaded he is.
 
Disney just announced that Avengers 2 is in development:

This won’t come as a surprise to anyone who sat through the credits of The Avengers, or who simply looked at the film’s record-breaking box office sales this past weekend. Still, fans (and investors) will be glad to hear that Disney CEO Bob Iger just announced that the company is developing a sequel. The film’s success “is a great illustration of why we like Marvel so much.” Demand for Avengers merchandise has been strong, he added.

I believe that would mean they were outside Earth's atmosphere. By some margin.

Another one, which might have already been mentioned - just after Loki stabs Coulson, he does that little hand gesture to the scepter while looking at Thor. Thought that was a great scene. The smug look on Loki's face, the smirk as he's gestures to the scepter and then he releases the cage. Was a perfect scene.
 
"Shawarma (Arabic: شاورما‎) is a popular Levantine Arab[1][2] meat preparation, where lamb, goat, chicken, turkey, beef, or mixed meats are placed on a spit (commonly a vertical spit in restaurants), and may be grilled for as long as a day. Shavings are cut off the block of meat for serving, and the remainder of the block of meat is kept heated on the rotating spit. "

It's a mystery.
 
What if Bay does it? dun, dun, dun

No, get Bay to do the Dark Phoenix Saga. He'll sit down and read the old comic book and go, "She only blew up a star/solar system? LAME." Then someone'll show him that video on youtube of Captain Falcon causing an explosion visible from outside the galaxy and he'll go "This we can work with!"

By the end of it Dark Pheonix will have exploded like, half the galaxy.
 
The illustration he refers to is a picture of Scrooge McDucks vault.

So true. That weird song montage in the movie did not help at all.

Just as I read that...

Oh hello Asian lady!
"Spiderman Spiderman where have you gone to SpiderMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN."

Uncle Ben dream sequence.

Jesus, this movie is camp as fuck.
 
All you guys are succeeding in doing is reminding me how awesome S-M2 is.

Also, protip: Avengers is drenched in just as much cheese.
