FILM CRIT HULK MAKE ZEN HULK HAPPY.

I like the point he makes about how Joss deliberately sacrificed narrative propulsion and made the Chitauri kind of lame in order to make a character-focused movie. I mean, I think you can make a character-focused movie with narrative propulsion, but it's a little harder when you have this many characters to focus on. I also like the insight about Loki. Funnily enough, I saw another review that says Loki is an ineffectual villain, and that's a PLUS, but Film Crit Hulk notes that Loki is actually the one who brings the Avengers together, not just in general (he is the catalyst for their calling) but specifically, in his interactions with each member.

Agreed, he made some good points I hadn't thought about.

Loki isn't very effective at world-conquering, but that's not really what he WANTED anyway. He wants his brother's love and respect, and in his quest to be worthy of Thor, he becomes flat-out evil. It's sad (in a totally non-woobie way) that he seems to know he's on a terribly wrong path but he's damned determined not to turn around. Everything Thor says to try and change his mind just reminds him why he's so pissed off. He's a surly vengeful emo teenager who never got over finding out he's adopted. I think he's a great villain, precisely because he really kinda sucks at villainy. He's not a War God, really, he's the God of Fucking Shit Up. That, he does very well.

In the opening scenes, Bruce is wearing a Hulk-pants purple shirt. In the ending scenes, when they're hopping in Tony's car to go be Science Bros together, Bruce is wearing a yellow shirt (the opposite of purple!) and Tony is wearing a purple tie. I just love little details like this.

I love FILM CRIT HULK so much; he's just as good with TV CRIT, especially Mad Men, and Hulk vs. The Girls Criticism is the best thing I've read online this year.

In the ending scenes

Bruce has to be wearing Tony's clothes. They fit too well and look a little too snazzy to be Bruce's shapeless clothes. Seriously.

Here? I don't think that they're close enough in size for the to be fitting too well. I think that's just costuming.

They seem less baggy/shapeless than the rest of the clothes he wore throughout the movie though. Or my memory of them.

In the teeny tiny Avengers I bought, poor Hulk has ONE PANT LEG. No wonder he's angry.

Here? I don't think that they're close enough in size for the to be fitting too well. I think that's just costuming.

RDJ has a slimmer body type than Ruffalo. While it's fun to imagine Tony gave Bruce his clothes, it's more fun to imagine they went shopping! Okay, probably Jarvis got his measurements and had clothes delivered. Still. Bruce got those snazzy duds somewhere, didn't he?

Where did they stash Loki while they all ate shawarma after the battle?

On rewatching, I'm enjoying the "wait, how did that happen?" moments.

Where did they

I vote locked in the walk-in. He's a Frost Giant, after all.
