Luckily they're the only ones. Every other entertainment company and major corporation really just cares about the consumer and doing their job to provide quality goods and services.
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!
that scene is funny because
hulk interrupts the beginning of loki's monologue to absolutely wipe the floor with a literal god
fuck monologues
hulk just cut to the chase and beat the shit out of a pompous asshole
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.

Man, you stuck it out through that whole thing, bravo.

Also, big spoiler for the movie
but they plant plenty of seeds for the "Coulson not actually dead" concept.
Coulson straight up says "They need something to rally behind" then the paramedics rush in.
Fury tosses down the cards covered in blood and says they were in his pocket, but they were actually from his locker.
Fury repeats the line about them needing something to rally behind.
So yeah it could easily be all a big hoax to get the kids to play together.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

I think that would really ruin the effort he made and cheapen it a great deal, so I kind of hope they let him stay dead. He got to shoot Loki and allowed the team to really around someone really important, the man who quite literally assembled the Avengers. He went out like a boss, let his moment go un-fiddled with.

Also the shooting him thing didn't really do anything which was a bummer. That thing was supposed to take on Destroyer?
No it was derived from the Destroyer
hence why it had a similar glowy metal motif thing
Oh, okay, I must have misheard it.

Well
I'm saying they plant enough seeds for it to be there. It's not an extremely far out response. It's just the kind of manipulative subterfuge I'd expect from Fury.
And it's that dichotomy of wanting the death to mean something and having finality to the arc and wanting to see that character in more shit.
Dammit Whedon!

it's funny because he's a god and he can't be killed. You can literally dish out any amount of punishment to him and it's just an inconvenience. You're taking this too seriously. He gets shot by lasers, lightning, bullets, and then pummeled by the hulk. He's like a cartoon character.

Yeah, it's slapstick. It isn't like the elevator scene in Drive or anything. It is the least disturbing violence ever short of getting into Three Stooges territory

yeah that's the actual comedy, I just meant why that scene is also not serious or dark in any way.

Yeah, that's also true. Also because of Loki's expression after.
It wasn't so much the expression in the theatre I was in. Nobody actually laughed until after Loki gave that little groan. They were genuinely shocked by the fact that he could be dead, but as soon as he groaned, it was the cue that he was going to be ok. He just had some of his pride knocked out of him.
I would imagine that there is a chance that they can die, though. Thor definitely took things seriously when
he was falling from the Helicarrier in the prison container.

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 don't think it counts as a savage beating if you don't actually get hurt.

I think, to some degree, they don't really know how exactly how mortal/immortal they are.
Well, I put my foot in my mouth, so I apologize for that stupid "meh" post, it was shitty form and I'm out. Good night, everybody!

They can get the shit beaten out of them, that's for sure. And there is some technological/magic reason for their invulnerability.
I mean, it's obvious that Loki was done with fighting when Hulk went to town on him. Just want a drink, etc. Thor might have just wanted to avoid getting the shit kicked out of him.
And that one guy got stabbed on the ice giant planet and they were concerned for his safety.

I'd have to agree there. But, I'd imagine they do probably consider themselves to be killable until they find out differently. I don't think any Asgardian would want their last words to be "I'm Invincib....URK!"

Asgardians can die it's just their harder to kill than non-super powered mortals, excluding Captain America. Considering Loki's not a power house compared to warrior Asgardians like Thor, Sif and the Warrior's Three it is really impressive that he didn't suffer any major injuries from Hulk.

Turns out.

I heard Edgar Wright is directing
which is perfect I think

As much as I loved the guy I agree with this.
hence why it had a similar glowy metal motif thing
he decides to use coulson's death as their rallying moment

And writing, yes.
He's going to have 2 plotlines. One with Pym in the 60s, and another with a modern Ant Man.
Probably Lang, which is too bad, but it sounds great.
Not a comedy, apparently. Just an action sci-fi film with lots of good jokes.
Why I fear the ocean.
Oh, okay, I must have misheard it.
