Little late to the party, but I forgot my password for a while there.


Saw it, loved it. Had massive amounts of fun.
Was by far, my most enjoyable movie going experience since Transformers.

Obviously there were flaws in the story, blah blah blah picky picky picky. It was skreeonk awesome. No complaints or need to change anything whatsoever.

I saw it this afternoon. It was a great movie. The fight sequences were a visual feast, but I loved the way the characters interacted and the bits of humor more. You could definitely see the Joss Whedon touch here.

Transformers is 3000's favorite movie. So yeah.

Avengers was amazing. The action sequences were awesome, the characters very well-developed and likeable (Cap still feels like a amateur and not a veteran though), and I really wasn't expecting to like Hulk/Banner as much as I did. Loki, Stark and Fury are great as always, and its nice to see minor characters like Coulson have decent endings. The humor is great too- mostly from Stark, but the Hulk gets a few nice ones as well. Also...Thanos! (although I couldn't recognise him at first). The last line about 'courting death' was incredibly awesome.

Few nitpicks- The Chitauri are kinda a non-threat, even the huge serpent ships. Also, the final battle can get a little repititive since most of the Chitauri just stand there and get slaughtered.
RIP, Old TK.

Though I recognize the film's obvious flaws, I saw it when I was 13 and up until that point, I had never seen anything like it. It was kind of my ET, just because of the special effects.

So the point i was getting at was, I felt the same sense of awe that I felt when watching CGI robots beat the skreeonk out of eachother as i did watching the avengers.

Incorrect, sir.

Into The Wild or American History X are my favorite movies.

I think it would have been better if a single Leviathan was the main threat instead of having dozens of them that Hulk can knock out with a single punch.

See, I think those creatures would have slaughtered non-powered humans, even the military. I think it shows the powers of the Avengers. You think the Chitauri expected the Avengers?

I'm going to see this Saturday, and I'm going to see Battleship (Though I'm mostly there for Liam Neeson) as well. But Tyler has a good point. Why, if Loki is the main villain, didn't he just use his two most montorous kids? I mean, Fenrir is supposed to be big enough to eat the moon, and the Mitgard Serpent can circle the world and bite its own tail, and those would've made awesome foes. Why not use them, instead?

Or were they just waiting for Avengers 2? "Oh, you beat our father, now watch us beat you! Bros before hoes, yeah!" or something like that, at least?

MCU is based on Ultimates and as far as I know, Loki doesnt have kids in the Ultimates universe.

That and I don't think he had enough time to sow his wild oats. There only had to be a few months between Thor and Avengers.

Im sure some Chitauri alien strange was made available to him. What Asgardian god wouldnt want a bloodied mouth extraterrestrial blind folded psychokinetic grey skinned conquistador?

I just know one thing. Thanos is saved for the sequel. The infinity gauntlet will probably be in the next movie. I can guarantee that.

I don't recall the Marvel version of the Midgard Serpent being Loki's child. I don't think Fenrir or Hel were either. There are a large number of deviations from the mythology to better suit the Marvel Universe and the modern audience. If I'm correct about that, then he just hasn't made an alliance with either of them in the MCU yet. I'm sure Jormungandr will make an appearance at some point, though.

Tom Hiddleston, that's who!

And here are all of the children of Loki that may exist in the Marvel comic (earth-616).

Son of Satan (son);
Narvi (son, deceased);
Váli (son, deceased);
Tess Black (daughter);
Hela (alleged daughter);
Fenris Wolf (alleged son);
Midgard Serpent (Jordmungand) (alleged son);

Hela did remove Loki's name from the book of the dead, so there may be some connection there.

if you're referring to ultimate, well I can't answer the serpent or Fenrir since I haven't read ultimate Thor BUUUUUUT I'll tell you, smelly man, another skreeonk up fact in the Marvel Ultimate Universe.

I think it's said ultimate Hela is Loki's daughter, right? Well in the one ultimate event we won't speak of, I believe Thor had to take someone's place when they died so he enter Hela's realm. While in there, she says she'll grant Thor freedom if... She provides her a heir. :| That's right, ultimate Thor bangs his Brother's daughter and has a kid. :freak: Course this isn't the first case of incest when it comes to mythology and gods but still. It takes it a step up and Hela DOES have the kid. :freak: So is Thor the kid's dad, his great uncle, his uncle, or all 3!? :-x

....Loki and Thor arent blood related in any universe. So WTF, mecha-gino?

In Ultimate Thor, Fenrir is fighting Odin I believe.
