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.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

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.

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

Excxellent idea. I declare this headcanon.
Today I saw somebody write "headcannon" and I laughed at them.

I feel like there was one of these in Petrosinella, a version of Rapunzel I had as a child.

I'm handwaving that one, and/or going with a vague Nick Fury/S.H.I.E.L.D. answer.

I honestly still don't *quite* get how Bruce became UNCONTROLLABLE!RAGE!Hulk on the Helicarrier, but then was able to choose to Hulk out and *control* himself in the final battle.
I feel like the explanation for it was a cut scene, or something. Like, after naked Bruce landed in Harry Dean Stanton's warehouse of rubble, Bruce said, "Well, gotta go be a superhero now, which I just realized I can control!"
Doesn't ruin the movie for me, but after 2 viewings, I still don't quite get it.
I also just realized that the reason Loki was so good at conveying the Silence of the Lambs vibe in his scene with Black Widow (despite still getting his ass handed to him) was that, duh, his (adopted) Dad did it years and years ago. (Props to Anthony Hopkins that he's been able to avoid the typecasting of Hannibal Lecter.)
