Goddamn Avengers was amazing. I miss Janet, though.
Also,
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

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.
"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.
Gaslight on

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.

Also,
It was hilarious and awesome that my entire theater laughed and applauded when Hulk just threw Loki around like a rag doll. "Shut up we're all tired of you now."

Yeah the reason is
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

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.

SHIELD will have a large role in the film. That's why I'm certain Sharon is going to appear. I'd like to see Black Widow or Hawkeye there, as well.

Yeah Linespider it seemed exactly like they were planting her for Cap's supporting cast, just like they have been for the last five films or whatever.
Also, the one thing I didn't like about the Avengers is that
they teased a fastball special with Widow and Cap and didn't follow through.
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.
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.
Young Justice is super good
I love the season spanning plot
Watch and learn, Loeb
Not going to happen. Loeb hates cartoons with long story lines. Which is ironic since his most famous work are mini-series.
Loeb is terrible in everything he does. Why doesn't anyone stand up to him?
He wrote Batman: The Long Halloween and Superman For All Seasons. I will always be grateful to him for that, as all comics fans should be.
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.
WARNING: Picture below may cause spontaneous growth of facial hair and/or body hair.
Thor seemed to be on the winning side during his confrontation with Iron Man. He headbutted IM a remarkable distance when IM barely stunned him with the same tactic, damaged IM's suit by lightly crushing his gauntlet and remained in the same physical condition he began in with no injuries to speak of.
I'm pretty sure Thor was winning his fight with the Hulk before that fighter jet showed up.
Yep.
Thor was the toughest Avenger IMO. Hulk was stronger, only didn't have his variety in powers with a sweet hammer with magicaltechnological super-powers.

Ya but in the comics...
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.
But this is a very very minor pet peeve that doesn't even stem from this film. The movie was simply perfect imo.

All adaptions power down the incredibly strong super-heroes. In many cases it actually makes the stories better. Comics can go overboard with characters who are far to with levels in power, that's why I liked the Post-Crisis Superman. Flash benefited from being slowed down on Justice League cartoon, same for Kid Flash in Young Justice.
Thor's powers in the films are at a good level IMO.
I did like how Cap's shield ended the fight even if it is a little silly.
Didn't Thor have an enmormous upgrade when he fought Iron man post-Civil War? Wasn't he possessing the full Odinforce at the time? No wonder IM lost, not that he didn't deserve an ass-kicking.

Not sure that part about Ironman not standing a chance against Thor is accurate. When Thor returned after Ragnorok Ironman seemed to think he could at least give Thor a fight until Thor reveals just how strong the Odin Force made him.
pretty sure if that waitress was supposed to be Sharon they would have gotten someone more conventionally attractive
Possible Cap 2 spoilers
You'd be mistaken. She was originally going to be Sharon Carter helping Steve track down Peggy, only those scenes got cut. It altered the film into a direction Whedon didn't think fit so it got was taken out. They shot 30 minutes which will be on the dvd. They didn't get around to meeting Peggy. I'm sure this sub-plot will be picked up in Captain America 2, with a recast Sharon Carter.
