Show me one guy who got hurt enough to sadface, and I'll be a little less tetchy. I think Cap poked his side once, and Tony did all that grunting to get his servos working, but she had enough of an adrenaline dump to run with no favouring of the leg, so I'm not in love with that explanation either.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

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

Still on the Avengers tip, but not whining about anything, this article: [link] has some nice (but too small) images from the displays on the helicarrier, as well as Tony's HUD. I'd love to see some better views of those--they're beautiful.

Via Atrios, I found this list of top 200 grossers in real (probably 2012) dollars interesting.
Note that the Avengers is 45th, but that has to be partly because it has been playing a comparatively short time. I'll bet by year end it will be at least in all time top 20.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Natalia is the proper name, Natasha is the nickname.
Sail, thanks for chiming in - that makes a lot of sense to me.
I did see Natasha favoring her leg at first when she starts to run. I think that her not being able to reason with the Hulk was an issue, and I also assumed it tapped into some backstory that I didn't know.
Tony got minorly emotional when he decided to sacrifice himself and Jarvis called Pepper.
Clint hurt his leg swinging into the building - he lies on his back gasping after - and has that knee propped up in the second post-credits scene.
Jessica, this was also the first time I liked Ruffalo in anything.
As for Loki wanting to enslave the humans, I thought the whole "Kneel before me, subjugation is your natural state" thing was an indicator. I don't think he's a details kind of dude, though. Chaos.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I did previously like Ruffalo when he was on Colbert. And he was perfectly okay in You Can Count on Me. I didn't love that movie in general but the performances were good.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
i'm enjoying reading everyone's thinky thoughts on The Avengers. i saw it a third time today. i am wondering about ita's hate-on for Renner though.

I don't hate him. I just don't think he's good looking or particularly convincing. But it's okay. Recasting Colin fixes everything, including the apple boxing.
Call me, Hollywood, call me.

Weird. I've always liked Ruffalo, but have been disappointed in the roles he's played. I can't remember the name of the movie where I saw him first, but he died quickly, and I was extremely sad to see him leave the screen. I like his face and his voice and find him incredibly sweet.

I find I didn't really mind him being terribly underwritten, since I was digging everyone else's screen time more anyway. His performance just didn't hit...well, any note with me really. I don't feel there was any revelation of his character--I know him as well as I did after Thor, and I also felt like he was reciting his lines, which is a big accomplishment when you're acting against/with ASSCAPS OF ASGARD. My Avengers feels go Coulson, Cap, Nick, Tony, Thor, Hulk, Natasha, and the chick from HIMYM, pretty much.
