Backlash! That was the word I was trying to think of when I posted that I hoped Depp got hit with some. Or pie in the face.

I vote for backlash. As long as he's wearing that much greasepaint, the pie would slide right off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Some choice lines from advance reviews of The Avengers (97% on RT):
The dialogue sparkles as brightly as the special effects; these people may be wearing ridiculous costumes but they're well fleshed-out underneath. And so in every regard, this movie truly fulfills its hype.
Like a superior, state-of-the-art model built from reconstituted parts, Joss Whedon's buoyant, witty and robustly entertaining superhero smash-up is escapism of a sophisticated order.
Josh Whedon has pulled together an action movie of real wit, fun and spectacle, with some remarkable setpieces for a director not previously noted for visual flair.
Wildly entertaining yet brilliantly cohesive, wonderfully characterised, deftly humorous and packed with heart, this is an absolute winner.
The Avengers is one of the greatest superhero films ever made. It's smart, fast, unrelenting fun. An instant, nuanced classic.
Apparently, bootleg copies of Transformers 3 made it to Asgard.

Great reviews. One question.In trailers, why is Thor described as a Demigod? I thought he was a God - no "demi" about it or. (OK and really an alien .., but still if not a God a "God". I did read some playing around with the idea that he was just a super-mutant with delusions of godhead. But then totally not a God and still no "demi".
