5 stars! 5 stars! *jumps up* XD I so loved this one! I was glad to see Loki again in this!  No actually I was glad to see everyone united in this!! I've really grown to Loki more and more, but then, there is something about him, a feeling like there is missing something as for his writing. He's pretty evil and still jealousy about his brother Thor, but still... I somehow hope to learn something more about his motives. He's a cool badass though!  But I've to admit, when it comes to scenes Loki vs. Stark: I change the side to good XD Tony is just hilarious with all his comments and jokes! And Robert Downey Jr is so yummi! Agent Coulson!  He was pretty cool too. Such a bummer he had to die... How dare you, Loki! Hulk!!! Ahahaha Hulk was so freakin awesome in the whole movie! Also I liked the new actor somehow more for the Hulk character. Doesn't mean Edward Norton didn't made a god job in the past. Anyway, the whole conversations were more well done in this movie! So funny! Stark and Banner are great together!!! So are Hulk and Thor lmao! OMG, my heart made a jump when Iron Man fell down the ground in the end! And Pepper didn't see him calling! But then, I knew there is an Iron Man 3 movie!  They wouldn't kill off someone like him! I really start to feel how everything in the MCU is connected! Thanos in the first stinger!!! I never liked him in the GoTG movies, but it's cool to see a character I already know.. well, because of not watched in the right order before though. ^^' The second stinger after the whole credits was the BEST! XDD It was sooo funny to see everyone sitting together to have a meal after such a fight. XD And no one saying anything, just eating! So hilarious! |

Totally 5 stars from me too!! I loved this so much. Still do! Joss Whedon is such an amazing writer. He's so great at character development and at humor. There were a million clever one-liners that I wish I could remember so that I could use them in everyday life.
The geektastic level of seeing all these characters in ONE movie working together was almost enough to make my head explode! Even before seeing the actual movie. Just knowing it was in the works and then seeing that teaser trailer as a stinger after Iron Man 2. Oh man. I remember everyone in the theater going insane with glee!
I liked watching them grow as a group as well. Seeing them butt heads at the beginning, each one used to calling the shots and each one having different values and ways of looking at things. But when they finally learn to work together, it's amazing!
Oh man, so much destruction in this one. I mean, they wrecked the hell out of the city. It almost seemed impossible to beat these aliens. They were coming into our world in swarms. They did it though. They took them down and Tony risked his life to close up that wormhole. It was so close! I love that Hulk was the one to save him. Seems like he's gaining more humanity and intelligence. Not just completely Hulk Smash.
Speaking of Hulk, that scene where he tosses Loki around like a ragdoll is one of my all time favorites! I laugh so freakin' hard every time I see it, even in gif form. So great! "Puny god." Lmao!!
I'm gonna cut this short and not go much into detail so that I can start watching the next one!
Stan sighting: He was on the television after the Avengers won against the aliens. He said something like, "Superheroes in New York? Gimme a break." XD
Stinger: There were two! The first one was our first glimpse of Thanos, which those of us who have only seen the movies didn't know what to make of it cuz we had no idea who this dude was supposed to be. I could hear the comic readers going nuts over it so I immediately looked it up online. Wow, hit of Thanos before we knew he'd be the ultimate villain for Infinity Wars which wasn't even a flicker of a start at that point!
The line that the guy says to Thanos has a double meaning. He says, "To challenge them... is to court death." Right off, you think it's only that the guy is making sure Thanos understands that humans are much more of a threat than they thought. But then when you look up and read about Thanos, you find out that he's in love with Death (also known as Hella) and he many times does things to try to impress her, hence courting her. Really loved that line so much more when I learned about that!
The second one after all the credits finished rolling was hilarious! No dialogue, no action. Just the team looking wiped out tired as they sit in a shawarma restaurant. It was a great callback to what seemed like just a joke from Tony and it was also so human and real. Of course they'd be drained and most likely hungry, lmao! Slumped in chairs, chewing slowly, seeming totally out of it like they're not really acknowledging each other. Such a simple little thing and yet so brilliant!
