You fall into the "cool enough to pull it off" category. Spike hasn't in a very long time.

ita_!, much like how you're the only person I give a pass to for dressing up like The Crow (in fact, I encourage that, and want photos, dammit), you are also one of the only people I consider "cool enough" to pull off the long leather coat look. And trust me, I've seen many, many Goths try.

(The take-away here, in case anyone was wondering, is that ita_! is COOL.)

I hope there is a blooper reel for the Avengers, and I hope it contains a shot of Loki getting that staff caught in his giant horns. This is based on a throwaway comment by Hiddleston that may or may not reflect anything that actually happened.

One thing I noticed in the theatre is that Bruce doesn't wear a belt. I was mystified at first, but wow, it makes sense. Maybe. A bit of logic that he'd not bother with a belt when he might be ripping it off later. But then they didn't bother explaining the magical expanding pants that only disappear when he's normal sized, when it makes the least sense for clothes to disappear. He should be lying in rubble in overstretched pants.

Still, the lack of belt tickles me and seems right.

I also absolutely loved Natasha's absolute fear of the Hulk, when Bruce "tests" her and she pulls the gun on him. Not only a cool shot, but just the reality of this is a scary dude, and Nat doesn't take that for granted.

I found the fact that she was pointing the gun directly at the camera incredibly distracting and awkward, especially in 3D but also in 2D.

Juliebird, I got a big kick out of Banner's magical stretchy/disappearing pants. Also out of the way his upper body grew so much larger than his lower body did.

I also absolutely loved

Oh yes, me too. When being interrogated and when talking to Loki, she was portrayed as being in complete control of her emotions, and feeling like she was in command of the situation; it made her very real fear of "the other guy" that much more noteworthy.

Also interesting to note that when she was talking to Loki, she faked fear while actually feeling confident; when first meeting Bruce, it's the other way around. (Plus, Loki was fooled; Bruce wasn't.)

On that last point, I don't think Natasha had actually done any less of a good job putting up a front with Bruce; it's just that he assumes, largely rightly, that everyone is really scared of him. I suspect that's a reason he stays with the Avengers. Aside from the fact that he could feel the Hulk was actually doing some good, Tony Stark may be the first person he's met since his accident that knows who he is and still seems to be genuinely relaxed around him.

Zenkitty, the magical disappearing pants didn't so much disappear as get incinerated when the fighter he was tearing to pieces exploded in a fireball underneath him. Per Harry Dean Stanton, he landed naked in the warehouse.

It's not that they magically disappeared, so much as they stayed on when the shirt went.

Now I have this image of a raging Hulk torso hopping about on tiny Bruce Banner legs.
