Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh great, now I won't not be able to think about that when I watch it again. HA.

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

Oh dear.

You know, I'm sure someone will turn that misconception into a porno.

I'm re-watching Iron Man, and damn if seeing Agent Coulson didn't make me all sniffly.

So I loved The Avengers even more the second time around, largely because I went in to appreciate it as a "forming a team" movie rather than just a "fighting as a team" movie. I also paid attention to how Joss handled the characters, and I realized that the way you juggle the character development of six characters is to work the interactions and relationships between each character to highlight things about them individually. Duh. But I saw that the movie really is all about each member sort of coming to terms with their own identity, which only occurs because of how they fit into the team.

I am madly, madly in love with the "But that's my secret, Captain. I'm always angry" moment. This time, it gave me ALL THE FEELS; I almost teared up, it was so beautiful. It's one of those reclamation/declaration-of-identity moments I love so much. Luckily, the emotion carried over for the next minute or so into the big power shot. I watched Mark Ruffalo's performance the whole movie to see how he was playing the "always angry" bit, and, of course, it's not evident. He's not seething. But it's more that he is deliberately keeping the Hulk at bay every second, matching his anger with his own and keeping that anger inside so that he can maintain his calm demeanor. Which is why it feels so good to let it out. I'm not quite sure how the Hulk-out on the helicarrier works with that premise, though; it must be that he has the ability to Hulk out at will, but the other guy can have his way if he's too distracted to deal with him. Like if he's just been knocked to the ground right after almost losing control.

Also, this time I caught the Shawarma Palace. After Stark pulls his Jonah trick, he lands right in front of it. I was distracted by the giant Farmers Insurance product placement before, but that's the shawarma place they go to that the end.

Also, I really love Black Widow in this movie.

ALSO. The credits note special makeup effects for "The Other and Man #1." Ha! That must be what they called Thanos.
