cardboard delusions · May 2012

I can't even tell you how impressed I was, I'll probably be seeing this again, and again. So good, so damn good.

The Geebs That Is A Pony · May 2012

Could you two edit that into a libk? I'm fairly sure that's too large to inline

Anyone else thinking that blonde girl in the news at the end might turn into Sharon Carter? Or are they going to hook another SHIELD spy in?

Also, it was kind of nice for Whedon to hook up dialogue jokes and in-jokes for different people to catch. Like while I was bent over with Tony's Life Model Decoy answering machine, my sister and cousin got to laugh at Coulson being in the elevator.

I agree though, it was probably just a LMD of him. Whedon wouldn't let that slip by.

I think the waitress might re-appear

she seems like she would be cool in a further Cap movie

This is

really, really reading into a minor character who is almost certainly never going to be in another Marvel U film

Yeah I know

I just liked her

she was sweet, and Cap should have a rejuvenation of supporting characters since he lost them all at the end of his movie, really.

Joolander · May 2012

in the comics doesn't Sharon Carter look exactly like Peggy Carter, just with a different hairstyle?

Solar · May 2012

Who knows

if she does, then that is a bit weird

"hey I shagged your grand-ma back in the day, but she is old now. You're what I want now, baby."

very creepy

And so...I’m gonna get on this spaceship, and I’m gonna go to Blargon 7 in search of alternative fuels. When I return, 200 years from now, you’ll be long gone. But I won’t have aged at all.

So you tell your great-great-granddaughter to look me up.

Because Adrienne...

...baby...

...I’m gonna want to meet her.

Really? You sure? They've done a very good job with continuity and blooming little things into very big ones. There's a reason they gave someone specifically doting on Cap so much screen time.

Spoiler:

she had her life saved by him and is the face that the audience is supposed to attach with the survivors of Loki's invasion. That's why she had the end news beat.

Seriously she is a waitress who got maybe 5 minutes screentime and is named Beth

she is not going to be Sharon Carter or a SHIELD Agent or whatever

that is like saying the janitor who found Banner is going to be Absorbing Man

well I mean

and @Gaslight, I appreciated that even if no one else did

I did wonder about this. I mean, she seemed pretty well cast to me. Plus, her IMDB shows more than a little bit of work behind her. It's entirely possible that Marvel wants some people around for that inevitable Cap 2 stuff where Steve gets to interact with modern Americans who aren't government agents or billionaires.

This is all speculative, but...I could seriously see Marvel setting up some kind of Captain America love interest out of this person.

That Loeb hasn't been with us for years. I miss that guy. R.I.P competent Loeb.

I'm saying Commando and Teen Wolf BEFORE TLB can, neeener TLB!

HadjiQuest · May 2012

Old Loeb has some seeds of modern day Loeb.

See the "mysteries" in all of his books from that time.

I remember reading The Long Halloween for the first time right after The Dark Knight came out, after years of people telling me to pick it up. I dug the characterization and art, but man the plot left me wincing a little.

Superman for All Seasons is wonderful, though, because he doesn't pull any of those tricks. If only DC could trade present-day JMS for old Loeb, and vice versa for Marvel.

True. His stories were still enjoyable to read and made some sort of logic. Modern Loeb not so much.

Wishpig · May 2012

Saw avengers, and like most people, LOVED THE CRAP OUTTA IT! Can't wait to see it again, and again, and again. Just wish Thor wasn't once again dedicated to being the "he's so strong he can go toe to toe with a god" punching bag. He's kinda like Vegita in Dragon Ball Z. He's the character writers beat up to show how powerful another character is. Even Chris commented on how funny it was Thor always seemed to be on the receiving end of an ass-kicking. Oh well, it's not like he's actually a god in the movies.

Nope... I liked but didn't love either of them. They barely START to make up for the mess he made of SO many good things.

ALTHOUGH, his name is attached to the new Spider-man show... and I'm digging it! Now if that keeps entertaining me, then I'll start to show some gratitude.

Thor can crush Iron-Man with next to no effort. They duked it out for a while, something Iron-Man would have never been able to do in the comics. And hitting Capt's shield with his hammer left all three dazed and confused.Don't get me wrong. I'm totally cool with this, in relation to THIS avengers movie. In this movie world Thor is not a god, he's just a really tough alien.

BUT Thor is underpowered in every single appearance outside of comics he's made. That's what's getting old to me. Just one time, I'd like to see an interpretation of him in which he actually seems like a god.
