Ive seen so many people's Facebook pages filled with avengers comments and statuses that they couldn't wait for this movie but have no history of the books at all. Maybe this will bring somewhat of an upswing to the comics, maybe at least for the summer anyway.

The previous comics movies, and especially the big hits (Iron Man) have all proven that these movies in no way produce more interest in the comics themselves. Most people who see the movies don't even know comics still come out on a weekly basis.

With that knowledge, I was fully expecting some kind of ad for Free Comic Book Day before the movie. It was pretty stupid to keep the franchises disconnected.

I was tempted to tell my theater about FCBD before the showing (as most people waited 4+ hours to get good seats), but as I went to the 12:01 am showing on Thursday night, most of those people obviously already knew about it.

It was very cool to see a bunch of iPads in line and in the theatre reading comics as we waited for the film to start.

Also cool to see how many people got onto Facebook right after it ended to post their thoughts.

Odin's Trophy Room - Marvel Movies Wiki - Wolverine, Iron Man 2, Thor

That makes sense, the Gauntlet was on display at SDCC the year before, and I could never see it in the film. Weird that it'd be in Odin's vault...

Ruffalo was twitchy and paranoid, every time he walked by a shield agent he ducked his head down or turned away. It really worked.

I don't think it was Ruffalo who sold it. The CGI Hulk was the best we've seen, and he had more Hulk-like action than ever before. If Hulk had been the same as in IH, I think Ruffalo would have come off as worse.

To me, Norton is the best Banner so far.

We had the same 'problem'. We went to the midnight showing to experience the movie this way on purpose, fully intending to see it again later with our older friends and family who wouldn't go that late. Best to see it at least twice.

Yup, exactly. The limitations on these licenses are going to be the most frustrating part of any of these movies. With FF getting a reboot, and X-Men First Class 2 in the planning stages, I don't see any of these licenses going back to Marvel anytime soon, sadly.

That would make a lot of sense. I wonder if she was bummed about her scene cuts.

Yes, they're one part of the Skrull race in the ultimate universe. Both the green Skrulls and the Chitauri have appeared in the ultimate universe, explained as distant cousins.
