**Favorite Moments from the Marviel Cinematic Universe** 1. In _The Avengers_, when Loki catches Hawkeye’s arrow and turns to sneer at him, my inner 6-year old was silently shouting “I know what happens next” and it did. Oh, yeah, I’m the one guy whose favorite Marvel character is Hawkeye. ---

**Favorite Moments from the Marviel Cinematic Universe** 1. In _The Avengers_, when Loki catches Hawkeye’s arrow and turns to sneer at him, my inner 6-year old was silently shouting “I know what happens next” and it did. 2. In the same movie, Loki threatens the Hulk, only to have Hulk rag-doll him into submission. Hulk sneers, “Puny god” as he walks away. I’m torn between this and Tony Stark’s penchant of giving everyone nicknames; “Point Break” for Thor is gold. ---
