Also I can't wait to see the vids that come from this movie.

It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Just got back from seeing CA2. Wow. That was a good time.
Apparently I had a theater full of non-comic-savy/non-spoiled people, because there was an audible gasp when the Winter Soldier lost his mask.
Also, I have no idea how Agents of SHIELD continues under that title after this.
Did anyone else catch the Easter Egg on Fury's tombstone ?
There was discussion on another site about where the name "Winter Solider" came from, and one of the origins was this: [link]
Which makes the title of the movie work on multiple levels.

All I noticed was the Path of the Righteous Man inscription (or something like that - I am so spoiled by DVRs, I kept wanting to rewind the movie real quick so I could check something out but that doesn't work at the theater...)

That was pretty much it, -t.
Specifically it said "The path of the righteous man." -Ezekiel 25:17 which considering it was the tombstone of Samuel L. Jackson's character was a nice touch.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Holy shit! That was not at all the movie I thought I would be seeing, but it was fabulous.
Is it just me, or were you mildly disappointed whenJenny Agutter's character pulled off the mask? I wanted Jenny Agutter to have been kicking that much ass.
Not just you, Epic, but I was still pleased that there was quite a few scenes where women kicked ass.
And I can't wait to see what happens to the TV show now.Can it even still be called "Agents of SHIELD"? Because...that's not exactly true anymore, right?
Teppy, that is the first thing I said to TCG when the movie ended.
Finally, I've read comments elsewhere that the movie CLEARLY established thatDr. Zola is the Clairvoyant on the TV show. I'm torn about that idea, mostly because I still want the Clairvoyant to be someone we already know on the show -- either Hand or Garrett.
Huh. That didn't even occur to me, though it makes sense. I would rather it be someone from the show too.
Well played, Marvel.
Yes, to everything you just posted, Teppy.
Apparently there was!
Thanks, P-C. I totally missed that part. There was a loud 4 year old sitting behind us.
Now, someone please explain to me the just before the credits scene. Specifically, who are the twins?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
sj, the mid-credits scene was directed by Joss and is a setup for Avengers: Age of Ultron. The Hydra guy is Baron Strucker, and the twins are Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, who will also be in X-Men: Days of Future Past because they're mutants (Magneto's children). Here, it looks like they've been given their powers through experimentation with Asgardian magic.
Unrelatedly, I love the fact that Cap's catch-up list is different in different countries, as shown here.
WAIT A SECOND the whole "Hydra has infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D." thing is what Dark Reign was about? I wonder if they'll do H.A.M.M.E.R. Although they don't have Norman Osborn, so I can't really say how. I love how Marvel is adapting all their canon in such a way that it draws from the comics but is still surprising because they're telling the stories differently.

Thank you, P-C! I was watching it saying to myself, I have no idea what is going on, but I know it is important.

Yes, this!
Oh, and I looked up Ezekiel 25:17. It says, "I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I lay my vengeance upon them." Nary a righteous man in sight.
well caught, Kalshane.

Yeah, I took that as a subtle Pulp Fiction reference, very cute.

Oh, duh. I haven't watched that one recently, but good point.
