Tony Stark is gay.

Even better.

[Wiglaf]

Just to clarify, the Jews did 9/11.

[Uncle Sparky]

Wow. What did the few guys from Afghanistan do in Manhattan? Serve some bad shawarma? Drive someone from JFK to the Park Plaza via Great Neck?

[Uncle Sparky]

Just to clarify, the Jews did 9/11.

My parents did 9/11. September 11 was their anniversary date. They are not Jewish.

[Dinner]

How did a bunch of laser shooting alien space sharks do less damage to Manhattan than a few guys from Afghanistan?

Technically they were from Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

[regexcellent]

Yeah, huge ****ing step up guys

(I mean, well, it actually is, admittedly...which kind of ruins the joke.)

[Elok]

Loki gets involved.

Well, the wife and I will go see it just as soon as she gets a decent reservoir of pumped milk for the wee man. I was kinda puzzled to hear that the villain would be Loki again, because a lot of the fun of superhero movies is watching hero and villain throw cheesy lines at each other along with the missiles, lasers and chunks of masonry. That, and it's just easier to get into it when the villain has a face to punch--as in the (non-terrible) Hulk movie where he rips the cop car in half and repeatedly smashes Tim Roth's chops with the halves. That was just fun to watch. But Loki, apart from being more of a slinking schemer type, isn't really convincing as a physical combatant. The way he minces around with that cane, he always reminded me of Jim Carrey playing the Riddler. Anyway, I'll go see what Whedon did with him.

[Donegeal]

Loki is a puny god.

[Barnabas]

The avengers felt a low like watching power rangers

[Guynemer]

It was a very fun movie. Every so often, you'd forget it was a Whedon movie, but then a bit of unmistakable Whedonesque dialogue or theme would pop up. The new Dr. Banner was very good, and Loki gearing up for his big "Enough!" speech in front of the Hulk was pretty god damned funny.

Shawarma.

[Kuciwalker]

I didn't actually know it was a Whedon movie going in, but as soon as I saw him credited everything made sense.

[MOBIUS]

I thought it was pretty average - disappointing really...

Now The Raid kicked all kinds of ass - not that you Yanks are ever likely to see it...

[-Jrabbit]

I thought the movie delivered nicely.

Mark Ruffalo was a great choice as David Banner.
The little cliques and infighting within the good-guys side of things is perfect Whedon fodder.

Plus, Tony Stark has ditched his Audi and is now driving an Acura, which should make it easier for Asher to pick his new car.
