I wish the trailer hadn't spoiled the end. it sucked the life out of a particular event toward the dead end of the film.

Were you, too, waiting for Hulk to catch Iron Man and wondering whether it had gotten cut since the battle was over but then he was falling so you figured that was when it had to be and sure enough ?

On that note, however, I think the biggest compliment I can pay the film is that the big power shot in the trailer, the pan of the entire team, even though we know it's coming, is genuinely cathartic. Everything Joss said over and over was true: this is a movie about superheroes who have no business being a team becoming a team. I was impressed that all the main characters (including Nick Fury) had time to shine and have character arcs.

The clear audience favorite was Hulk, though. Oh my fucking God, we were DYING LAUGHING at Hulk tossing Loki around like a rag doll. I think we were just laughing for the next couple minutes. We couldn't stop. Not to mention the Thor punch.

So much fun.

when the credits rolled I was like Drusilla: Do it again, do it again!

We did seriously contemplate going upstairs to the 2D theater to watch it again.

Hulk was awesome. Just awesome. I wanted MOAR HULK.

Did _anyone_ catch what Hulk said right after the event PC whitefonted?

The laughter was so loud and long, I totally missed what I'm sure was a good line.

The first 3 or 4 minutes of the Avengers had me worried. I guess I expected an explosive start, but I ended up loving every other minute of it.

Plus, IT'S THAT GUY! roulette. Including Enver! Which surely has been mentioned before, and I missed it. Still, fun!

The first 3 or 4 minutes of the Avengers had me worried.

Me too, because I couldn't understand any of it. And then it seemed liked our sound wasn't very loud, and I couldn't hear the dialogue. But then I guess it got louder.

Hulk was awesome. Just awesome. I wanted MOAR HULK.

Mark Ruffalo was really good as Banner, too.

Did _anyone_ catch what Hulk said right after the event PC whitefonted?

Yep: "Puny god!"

Ahahahaha. I will have to listen for that when I see it again.

I have to figure out when I'm seeing it again.

Maybe tomorrow morning. Or Sunday morning. $6 AMC pre-noon tickets are rather glorious. Hmm.

Dangit, I missed the second post-credits scene. If anyone finds a link, let me know?

What Dana said. It was already so late I couldn't wait for it.

Who was Enver?

I completely missed him.

Hulk was definitely the fan favorite at the show I was at too - both him and Bruce.

Still feeling punchy from the midnight show though. Thank doG for weekends.

I tried, Dana, but all the clips I could find of it have already been pulled from youtube by Marvel.

It's a short scene of the Avengers in a restaurant eating shawarma while the staff cleans up debris around them.

I know it's already been fanarted, I caught one picture on tumblr, but I don't think I reblogged it, because I didn't want to spoil anyone. I'll see if one of my friends might know where to find it.

ETA: Fanart of 2nd aftercredit [link]

So Alexis Denisof was the creepy alien leader guy who was in charge of the alien army. Or possibly he just voiced the character.

I had no idea he was even in it. But it made me pretty happy to see his name in the credits.
