Archer guy is Hawkeye. He's... an archer. Not superpowered or anything.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
There are two Hulk movies; the one with Ed Norton is the more relevant one.
I never did get around to seeing that. Maybe this weekend.

Doesn't he have a thing where he's unable to miss a shot? Which isn't technically a superpower, I suppose. (Also, I don't know if it's true, since I never read any Avengers.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I just put all those pre-Avenger movies in my Netflix queue yesterday! I guess it's about the right time to start prepping. I've only seen the first Iron Man, and I'm going to go ahead and watch it again because I know I liked it the first time but I don't really remember specifics.

I'm actually not 100% sure - I'm pretty much the "huh, is that some Marvel thing?" person in my comics group. But he doesn't, like, grow to giant size and become radioactive or anything Marvelicious like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, who is the woman who is not Scarlett Johansson?
Cobie Smulders? I only know that she's in it from Go Fug Yourself and similar.
Will there be things in it that comics readers will catch that you won't (like Hawkeye in Thor)?
As a non-comics reader, I caught that (not Hawkeye specifically, of course) because it was Jeremy Renner. "Why would they have Jeremy Renner in one scene of this movie? ....Oh, he must be Somebody."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Also, who is the woman who is not Scarlett Johansson?
Cobie Smulders, as Maria Hill. She's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. No superpowers, but Joe Quesada describes her thusly:
[Hill] is such a strong personality, she's like a force of nature and quite frankly, while perhaps not immediately loved by all involved, she's certainly as strong and imposing a figure as Nick Fury. Right now I feel that people view her as the outsider but [while] I don't think she’s any harsher than Fury has ever been, what's different is that we aren’t quite clear about her motives

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Sure, Nick Fury orders people gunned down for verbally objecting to laws that haven't been passed yet all the time!
I'm actually not 100% sure - I'm pretty much the "huh, is that some Marvel thing?" person in my comics group. But he doesn't, like, grow to giant size and become radioactive or anything Marvelicious like that.
Should we tell her about Clint Barton's stint as Goliath?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
In Thor when the guy grabbed the bow, I figured there was something more there, so I looked up the trivia on the movie and got to Hawkeye from there.
I know I'll never have a Marvel fan's knowledge of cannon, but I'd like to be able to get the movie to movie references and character movie-backstories, where available.
