My theory is that one of the people on the council could be this charming fellow:

Henry Peter Gyrich - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was kinda disappointed they didnt give a hint of new/ future members though. Is Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver still tied up with the Xmen license? Or even Antman and the Wasp?

Howevor, with Thanos coming to Earth in the next movie, it does open the possibility of any cosmic level avengers(ms. marvel, capt. marvel, quasar, adam warlock).

The acting was awesome, although it took awhile for the film to pick up. but when the halfway mark came, man did it become thrilling. The part where Loki gets slammed on the floor by Hulk was hilarious. Stark was all cocky and pompous just like his original characterization(it worked). It was also neat showing the next evolution of the armor.

I dont know why people keep complaining about the cheering/clapping in the theater. I see this posted everywhere. Its part of the experience. Its no different than going to a play/broadway show. But thats just my two cents. I was lucky enough to be in a half full theater.

In making the suggestion of Gyrich you may have answered your own question as he worked with the National Security COUNCIL and they were known for giving the avengers crap as well as their security clearances.

Thought that guys voice sounded familiar

Correct. That's why it was called the Tesseract in the Cap movie and then carried over into this movie. But it's not just a word they made up for the film. It actually has a scientific basis and is rather appropriate when you consider what the Cosmic Cube actually is.

I thought it was cool that Lou Ferrigno voiced Hulk, even though it was one small line. Always nice to pay hommage, I say.

He did it for the Norton incredible hulk as well

also as i type this IH is finishing on FX and when norton is meditating at the end and he grins while changing, it fits well with the always angry line from Avengers don't you think?

That last scene of IH is also the reason I had no problem with Banner being the way he was in Avengers.

So why did Hulk lose control and try to "smash" Widow when they fell? I know they were playing at the fact that Loki was messing with their heads and making them hostile, but they fell after that. So.... how come ol' Banner unleashes "the other guy" willingly at the end but seems to do it involuntarily prior to that?

Widow: "You monster"

Loki: "I'm not the monster, you brought the monster here."

Hulk might've blamed Widow for the situation seeming like he had been setup by fury afterall and after the explosion since she initially brought him in from India. Another manipulation by Loki Most likely enhanced it.

Banner may have been always angry, but he's always paranoid too.

All I can do is theorize but I believe he can agitate or frustrate himself enough to trigger a change, but outside stress can still trigger a chanhe as well.

I think the rage gets targeted at whatever Hulk sees as his antagonists.

Between being coaxed onto the hellicarrier, learning of the Hulk kill cage, add a little Loki magic, some odd gamma radiation from the spear, and Banner possibly resenting Black Widow for getting him involved in all this and I can fully understand him tearing up the carrier and going aft BW.

Now at the end, he's frustrated and pissed about the alien army.

So I think there is two types of "Hulk out"

Type one : bad situation = Hulk out
Type two : ready, aim, Hulk out

What was the relevance of the waitress in new york? they seemed to focus on her a lot, we tried to read her name tag but we couldn't.

lol, we thought maybe she was Sharon Carter because of the way she looked at Cap but that would be highly unlikely

KingLouie731 · 05-07-2012, 03:48 PM

as far as the Hulk goes he hadn't been out to play in a year so maybe he didn't want to go back and figured Widow did idk

as far as the waitress goes She was the redhead girl from growing pains with Kirk Cameron, Alan Thicke, etc. I think she was the comman 'man on the street' character who believes in the Avengers being a good thing

He has been written a number of ways over the years and his Ultimate persona is a bit more twisted. That's the nice thing because I can seem him played several different ways and be fine with each. Classic Banner would require a skin and bones super nerd tripping over himself. Hollywood doesn't have a ton of those as male leads.

It was quiet for me. I was the only one who shat bricks and screamed happy screams.

iLegends73 · 05-08-2012, 12:23 AM

that was definetly a much needed pick up for the super hero movie genre. im going to try to see it again this week.

Tiberius · 05-08-2012, 12:27 AM

I was really hoping War Machine [or at least Rhodes] would make an appearance when the Military rolled in though. I had the whole script idea in my head and all.

It ends with Tony going "Am I ever going to get my suit back?"

Rhodes says "Haha, nope" *flies off*
