Tony makes a joke about Life Model Decoys earlier in the movie that could potentially be foreshadowing.
Oooh, good call.
Jayne: Anybody remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife? Wash: Wacky fun.

Thrive to spite them
Yesterday I stumbled across a review of Avengers (don't remember where) that talked about the first Hulk Out and mentioned Loki's glowing staff & how the Avengers were being influenced by it prior to the attack.
So maybe it was a combo of Loki's magic and being stunned by the attack that led to the loss of control.

That's what I think, askye. Banner seemed like he was really trying to hold back the transformation as much as possible and you could see the regret and fear in his face when he turned it to Black Widow. I think the fact he held off so long pissed the Other Guy off so much, he tried to take it out on Black Widow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay--I started to skim the Something Awful movie threads, and now my head is dizzy. What is the poster ancestry of SA? I mean, what's their demographic? They seem to throw a lot of big words at small concepts (no, I don't mean the Battleship thread, I'm actually reading about phallic symbols and authorial intent in The Avengers) and I'm trying to get a mental picture The People Who Care About That.

phallic symbols and authorial intent in The Avengers
The hammer is Joss's penis?

EVERYTHING is Joss's penis.
Apparently modern literature has reached the point where any power is a phallic symbol, because penises are all that and then some.
There is a point at which crit becomes entirely useless, and that Avengers thread looks about ten pages past it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Apparently modern literature has reached the point where any power is a phallic symbol, because penises are all that and then some.
Also any object that is longer than it is wide, or any object that is wider than it is long.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If it's longer than it's wide it's a phallus
If it's longer than it's wide it's a phallus
If it's not longer than it's wide, simply turn it on its side
If it's longer than it's wide, it's a phallus

Okay--I started to skim the Something Awful movie threads, and now my head is dizzy. What is the poster ancestry of SA?
The sections I've frequented seem to be a core of former military with migrations from Myspace and 4Chan accreting around them.

Hey. New board.
I posted on SA for a while. I... don't know what it's about. I still visit a private board populated primarily by SAers (or former SAers) and I... kind of hate the posters.
Some threads get all intellectual, others are all "hehe boobs"
