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.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

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.

"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.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Also I can't wait to see the vids that come from this movie.
"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." GAH STEVE YOU KILL ME.

Compassionately intolerant
I was also mildly disappointed that it wasn'tJenny Agutter's character kicking ass .
Me TOO! I so wanted that to be the case.
Following that, I had to ask why wouldn't she just take off her jacket for cripe's sake.
Anyway, I loved the movie much more than I expected to. I didn't really like the first one but this felt so different and was action, action, ACTION!
One of the people with me kept speculating that Magneto might cameo in Avengers 2 as a result of the mid-credit scene. I can't imagine that both for 'don't cross the streams' reasons and for economic reasons.
Now I can't wait for A2 OR Xnext.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Doesn't this also preemptively kind of shit on the Peggy Carter series ?
Also, I guess Marvel has a Dr. Strange movie in the pipeline.
