    With all the cameos, I wonder how many Stan Lee clones are walking around in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

    The waitress=Sharon Carter theories are hilarious

    she is a waitress

    she does nothing other than be a pretty face to speak as the voice for everybody in NYC

    she isn't going to become a secret agent and also change her name from Beth
    She was Carter in the film during a Cap sub-plot. That got dumped for messing up the movie's tone. The 30 minutes of footage will be shown on the dvd IIRC. It's for the best, I want to see Amanda Rightetti reprising her role officially as Sharon Carter in Cap 2.

    Woops I didn't stay until the end of the credits. Guess I suck at movies!

    Almost all of the recent Marvel movies (especially the ones for the characters in the Avengers) have special bits for fans during the credits.

    Just so you know!

    Good point! And I thought Loki resembled Obama in the idea that humans desire to be ruled rather than have freedom.

    hahahahaha

    I found yet another review in which the guy analyzes the entire movie and tries to make the argument that the entire movie is a criticism of Obama.

    I'm not linking it because fuck it all to hell.

    It got worse after that. It's like they're living a bizarre alternate reality where the Avengers are fascists. The comment where they describe what happens to all the Avengers under Obama takes the crazy cake.

    The three branches of government are actually worse than The Council of Doom, The Hellfire Club, and The Brotherhood combined.

    Their designs are darker, their influence is greater, and their brand of evil is eviler.

    I have a tangentially related story!

    Just saw Avengers tonight.
    My step-mother was one of those odd people who thought it was HILARIOUS when Hulk picked up Loki and slammed him around on the ground. Like, the theater erupted in laughter. I told her that I thought it was disturbing that everyone was laughing at a dude getting savagely beaten.

    I mean, yeah, beat the shit out of Loki, he pretty much deserves it, but I don't see how it was as side-splittingly funny as the rest of the theater did. She related our conversation about that to her brother when we got home, and he told me, with anger in his voice, that I "read too much liberal bullshit."

    Then he started talking about how that's what the american people want to do all these dictators. The man watches way too much Fox News.

    Movie was super great though.

    About 5 or 10 minutes in, I thought to myself after listening to a pithy one-liner or two "Oh yeeeah, Whedon did this."

    Also, I don't dig the whole Cinema Cafe idea. I want to focus on a movie I see in a theater, and I want to focus on a meal in a restaurant, I don't want to split my attention between the two. Regular theaters for me from now on!

    Nah, that scene was awesome.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    To be fair, you completely missed the comedy cue in that scene. Everyone else saw it and picked up on it; you did not.

    HINT: it was not funny just because a dude was being savagely beaten.

    I think it should be reversed in that you were one of those odd people who didn't find it funny.

    Yeah, finding that scene to be awesome and hilarious is what normal, healthy people do.
    Getting disturbed by it means you might be humanizing the immortal, alien murderer a bit too much. It didn't even knock him out or anything, just made him hurt all over and probably disoriented him pretty decently.

    He wasn't even bleeding!

    Your step-uncle is a goose but you need to unclench that butt a little bit the next time you see a super-hero action movie if that's the reaction you have to a villain's monologue getting interrupted by him getting cartoonish, a pro-wrestler-style beatdown.
