I reread my post and it sounds kinda snippy, sorry if I came across that way. If anything, I’m snippy at snoring guy. 
But yeah, it had a lot of stuff going on, if I weren’t familiar with the specifics I might have wondered at some stuff too.
No it’s fine… The guy snoring pissed me off too. I didn’t want to get an usher because I didn’t want to miss the movie.
Maybe the theater management isn’t aware of the second end-credits scene, or just wants to hustle out customers to make room for the next showing.
Too bad you missed it. The dialog in the second end-credits scene was pure Joss.
See post #157.
I’ve read nowhere else that the second scene is only being shown in U.S. theaters.
It’s everywhere. It’s seriously in practically every article I can find that mentions the second post-credits scene. Here’s one. http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/1351184/the_us_version_of_the_avengers_gets_a_second_postcredits_sequence.html
I know this sounds snarky but your comment reads as though you think I made this up for some bizarre reason.
Every bit as great as the repartee in “Hush.”
It certainly isn’t being shown in South African ones:(
If Coulson is still alive, this could be his motivation for turning evil!
OTOH, Stark’s got enough money to get him some new ones.
I loved the “puny god” line. It’s the first time I can remember a good guy using this word about a villain. Normally, it’s the other way around.
I think Hulk punched Thor when they were just standing beside each other because he was still annoyed about Thor fighting with him on the helicarrier.
I agree that they should’ve mentioned War Machine. In the situation they were in, they needed all hands on deck.
And, if they’re looking for a villain, forget Thanos, Loki, etc. Who I really want to see the Avengers battle is (drumroll, please):
BAD HORSE! (The Thoroughbred of Sin! Not to mention, a certain scientist with a Ph.D. in Horribleness…)
I very much got the feeling it was just sort of “residual needing to smash stuff and, oh, here’s someone who can take a good punch.”
I agree. It’s really the only explanation that makes sense. Friendly shoulder punch gone wrong? What? Does any of that sound like the Hulk?
If not annoyed, then just as a reminder. Somebody ask Joss next time you get a chance.
post-credits scene in horrible quality:
I agree. It was just Hulk being Hulk. The scene’s purpose–other than to get a laugh–is to show us that even though Hulk is working with the good guys, he’s still unpredictable.
Username/post combo.
Just Sayin.
His body language was very much that of a kid who’s noticed that no one is watching.
It holds up on a second viewing. I might even see it again, but not for a couple of weeks at least.
Widow definitely uses her stunners. Weren’t they ranged weapons in the comics, or am I mis-remembering? Maybe she can get an upgrade for sequels.
Really impressed with Sam Jackson’s performance. He toned down the whole “Samuel Mothafuckin’ Jackson” bit. He did a good job being, as he put it, “very desperate,” in full knowledge that he had placed the earth’s safety in the hands of a band of dysfunctional freaks.
Looked for Elendil’s Heir in the opera house scene, but missed him. will try again with the DVD.
I heard Stark’s line to Hawkeye as “buckle up lip-gloss,” which didn’t make a lot of sense, so I’m glad I read this thread.
…annnnd a new phrase just entered my daily lexicon.
Thanks for the link; I stand corrected. It has simply been my experience that people sometimes assert things with great certainty on the SDMB that turn out to be untrue.
