Japanese Avengers super-trailer confirms Pepper Potts, better look at Loki's army, new dialogue, and the fucking SHIELD base lifting off:

[Lock Jaw]

I believe they call that the MUTHAF***ING HELICARRIER.

Here's a better version:

[Lock Jaw]

Wonder how many times we will see Scarlet Johhansen do the "hair flip" pose.

http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/avengers-trailer086-570x306.jpg

I think she had pretty much an identical hair flip shot in Iron Man 2.

[McLegend]

She should have that in every movie.

AMC Theatres will be doing a special chronological marathon of the five individual Avenger movies May 3 at select locations. Starting with Iron Man @ 11:30 AM, right up to the midnight premiere of The Avengers.

[Kalyx triaD]

Tickets are sold out here, I think. But I'm gonna have my own marathon at home before seeing Avengers.

They have it where I am.
I thought of going with some friends but..by the time Avengers come on..going to be so fucking tired that it won't be worth it.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I don't think I could sit comfortably for that long in a cinema. Although like Kalyx, I'll probably be having my own marathon on the 5 days before it comes out.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Trailer really looked good.

[mitchables]

I originally thought it could probably be Fin Fang Foom without the 'Fin Fang Foom' part. Wouldn't be very 'realistic' having a huge dragon turn up and calling it/himself 'Fin Fang Foom'.

yes. it is very realistic having a dragon turn up at all.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Dragons are real.

[Kalyx triaD]

In Komodo.

[Rammsteinmad]

yes. it is very realistic having a dragon turn up at all.

Fuck you, you know what I meant. :foc:

[Captain of Fun]

Still wondering why the fuck anyone would thing it is Fin Fang Foom. Might as well make Whirlwind a villain in the movie, if we're talking shit, obscure characters.

[Hanso Amore]

Where the fuck is SpeedBall?

Debating this because I want a pair of Captain America 3D glasses to go with my Darth Maul ones. Going to ask the AMC people if I can just buy 4 pairs of the 3D glasses (Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Cap) instead. Save around 35 bucks or so.

[dronepool]

I'm going to Atlantic City to see a concert on the 4th so this movie will have to wait a day or two.

I have only just realised that we (the UK) get this a full 8 days before America!

[The Destroyer]

I've also just noticed that they seem to be referring to it as "Avengers Assemble" for the UK market.

Probably think someone's going to go along and get confused thinking it'll be about Steed and Miss Peel.

Kinky. :drool:

[Rammsteinmad]

Oh yeah, and pretty lol too. :shifty:

[Jura]

So glad those cell phone pics exist.

[RoXer]

K, ignoring this thread til the movie comes out

[Kalyx triaD]

One of the intros no doubt.

Yeah after this clip I'm going dark. Rather - spoilers tags from now on. I will kill you. Use spoiler tags.

I spent 3hrs the other day readings a huge interview series with most of the cast, and I've detected some spoiler stuff - and I never mentioned a thing here. Because I love you all.

But yeah, spoiler tags.

[Rammsteinmad]

You were too lazy.

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay.

[Lock Jaw]

Comic book writers tweet their thoughts after Avengers Hollywood premiere:

[Xero]

Probably going to a midnight showing of this with some friends.

Look at me being all social and shit.

[Lock Jaw]

You're making the rest of us look bad!

[Funky Fly]

No he isn't. Nerds are cool right now.

[Kalyx triaD]

All the things I was fun of in school for (videogames, comic heroes) are billion dollar industries and it's uncool to not be a part of it. We win.

I avoided linking these but I guess people would get a kick out of them.

[Kalyx triaD]

"So... Are they serious about this Superhero Registration Act? I think it'll cause problems..."

[Lock Jaw]

That an actual quote?

[Kalyx triaD]

No. But just imagine.

[Lock Jaw]

I refuse.

[Kalyx triaD]

I wonder if Civil War's on their mind as far as possible movie-verse stories go. I know the Big 3's sequels will be self contained without too many references to the greater universe, but things will converge again in a few years, they need something big. Civil War should be adapted in some way.

[Lock Jaw]

They would need to establish that there are more than 4 superheros in the world first.

Would be a small Civil War otherwise.

[Reavant]

I really wish the studios could work together to have wolverine and spiderman in the avengers too

[Fignuts]

Rather see Ultron in the next Avengers movie.

[Funky Fly]

Rather see Ultron in the next Avengers movie.

Yeah, they shouldn't bother with Civil War for like 10 years. Need to establish a lot more guys and have a bit of a movieverse history for everyone involved.

Pym and Ultron are the next logical step.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fox and Sony will never share their cash cows. Sad really, as I'd think even a cameo would benefit all involved. Imagine Nick Fury asking Wolverine to join a special team after the credits of The Wolverine, then Logan ironically says "I don't do teams." Cue Fury's "I got my eye on you" line and boom. Instant hype.

[dronepool]

Cameo for cameo would be fair. Have Iron Man pop up in Fantastic Four for 2 minutes... Captain America helping Daredevil out in a gang war.... Spider-Man popping up in the Avengers for a few minutes...

[Kalyx triaD]

FF and DD are on stasis until Fox reboots them. I'd say for now, have Sony's current Spidey swing by in the background during the final battle in Avengers as an Easter Egg. Nick Fury after The Wolverine, stuff like that.

[Lock Jaw]

:lol: Random Spidey swing in the background. "Hey guys, looks like you got this. Don't mind me. Just swinging through."

[Kalyx triaD]

Obviously kicking it to an invader. I thought about him as Peter Parker taking pictures but he would never let all that action go without helping. Not too mention he probably isn't a photographer in the reboot.

[mitchables]

Yeah, they shouldn't bother with Civil War for like 10 years. Need to establish a lot more guys and have a bit of a movieverse history for everyone involved.

Pym and Ultron are the next logical step.

Would be surprised if the Avengers franchise was still going in 10 years - or at least, would be surprised if RDJ is still a part of it then. He's not exactly a spring chicken. He would be 57 at that point :-\

[Kalyx triaD]

I'd say this is the last 'cycle' ending with Avengers 2 before everything's rebooted.

[Rammsteinmad]

They could probably get away with not even having a Spidey cameo. Fury could maybe just mention it to one of his men; "I want you to look into this guy climbing up walls" or something... something that would obviously hint at Spider-Man, so that even non-comic fans should get the hint.

[Lock Jaw]

Movie

http://www.comicbookresources.com/assets/images/articles/1334766222.jpg

Apparently, Loki's army are Chitauri, pretty much the Ultimate version of Skrulls or something.

[CSL]

have watched Iron Man 1 and 2 and had Hulk and Thor on in the background in preparation for this (shall watch Captain America at some point) Chris Hemsworth is kind of awful. was mildly proud of myself for recognizing Captain America's shield in Iron Man 2

[Crimson]

Can't wait for this. One question though, was Cap a smartass type character in the comics? I never liked the cast for him, it doesnt seem he''d be that type of person. Plus Evans was already Human torch

[Lock Jaw]

Did you see the Captain America movie?

[Crimson]

The beginning..i didnt finish it though -_-

[Lock Jaw]

Well, then his character type is like it was in the movie.

[Kalyx triaD]

Captain America was great. Fuck his FF stint, that's Fox and their silliness. He is Cap.

It may not be Reeves/Superman or Helmsworth/Thor, but he works.

[Fignuts]

Legally, could they have like tobey maguire make a cameo, taking a picture of the battle? Because that would be a great little easter egg.

[Fignuts]

Captain America was great. Fuck his FF stint, that's Fox and their silliness. He is Cap.

It may not be Reeves/Superman or Helmsworth/Thor, but he works.

After watching Push and The Losers, I knew he'd do just fine as Cap. Highly underrated actor, who's had a relatively diverse number of roles.

[Kalyx triaD]

Legally, could they have like tobey maguire make a cameo, taking a picture of the battle? Because that would be a great little easter egg.

Yeah, but too late for that!

[Lock Jaw]

How is it too late? People would still get it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Trust me; Sony won't be on it.

[Lock Jaw]

I never though it would be. Thought you were saying it was "too late" in that Tobey isn't Spidey anymore, but Tall Hair Guy is.

[Fox]

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17jwfp3liikg1jpg/original.jpg

"So... Are they serious about this Superhero Registration Act? I think it'll cause problems..."

Still can't get over Cap's outfit. For an official released pic from the studio, he sure looks like a dork here next to the bad assery of Iron Man. I really hope it doesn't come off that way in the movie.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Booked my tickets to go see it next Friday on the 27th, pretty excited.

[XL]

Spent all week thinking this came out on Thursday, only to realise it's next week.

[CSL]

watched Captain America. Pretttttttty meh for the most part, first half hour or so was decent, last 10-15 minutes were alright, Tommy Lee Jones was good, bird was mint, Chris Evans did well enough. So Iron Man was good, Iron Man 2 and Captain America were alright, Thor and Hulk were pretty gash. Hopefully all of them together plus Samuel L. Jackson shall be fun. I'll probably come back and give you my expert Avengers opinion in about 9 months.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

For me the order would be something like Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man 2, Captain America.

[Skippord]

which Hulk are you guys using for reference?

Edward Norton Hulk right?

[Lock Jaw]

I think that is a given.

Kinda still bummed that Ed Norton didn't come back.

[Skippord]

I figured there has to be someone somewhere who likes that Ang Lee Hulk, probably not now that I think about it

wish Edward Norton had come back, hate Mark Ruffalo

[DaveBrawl]

Wait we're not supposed to enjoy watching the Hulk cry and swing mutant poodles over his head?

[Fignuts]

I thought the Absorbing Man in the ang lee one, was cooler than the villain in the new Hulk.

Abomination is just Hulk with warts.

[Reavant]

well then ur gunna hate the a next hulk movie considering theyre probably guna use it to introduce the red hulk if they make it

[Skippord]

I thought the Absorbing Man in the ang lee one, was cooler than the villain in the new Hulk.

Abomination is just Hulk with warts.
I thought it was some sort of Hulk dog things?

that movie was fucking garbage though so I don't remember

[Kalyx triaD]

Gamma Dogs and Absorbing Man. I like Abomination as a villain, myself. Red Hulk would be cool, but I always had trouble buying his true identity.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, they drew it out too long. The reveal was never going to live up to the hype.

And yeah, thunderbolt ross was really kind of anticlimactic. Don't really like that he turned face either.

[Fignuts]

well then ur gunna hate the a next hulk movie considering theyre probably guna use it to introduce the red hulk if they make it

Given what happened in the movie, I would expect Leader, before Red Hulk.

Leader would be better, anyway, as you would have a battle of brains vs brawn as opposed to two hulking behemoths pounding on each other yet again.

[mitchables]

well then ur gunna hate the a next hulk movie considering theyre probably guna use it to introduce the red hulk if they make it

At last word, they're not making it. Something about having no plans to give Hulk another standalone film in the near future.

Man, you just come into these threads spouting the wildest theories like they are remotely credible.

One sec so I am not a hypocrite I will find you a link.

[mitchables]

Wait okay here http://www.movies.com/movie-news/rumored-marvel-movies/7529?wssac=164&wssaffid=news&_r=true

[McLegend]

I don't think Hulk works well in his own movie. He's better utlized when he comes into someone elses world and fucks it up.

[Shaggy]

Yea I remember reading a interview being done during all the press for Avengers where another Hulk was mentioned. The guy said that they didnt really consider both Hulk movies done so far a success. He was then asked if Hulk would get a second chance. His response to it was.. well Hulk with Ed Norton was Hulks second chance. They were unsure if they are willing to give it a third.

I honestly loved Incredible Hulk. Would have been my favorite movie of the summer had it not been for Star Trek that same time. I would love for another one if they could nail it the same way.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Would not mind seeing another Hulk TV series.

[Lock Jaw]

I think they are making another Hulk TV series. In development, at least.

I wouldn't mind seeing another Movie Universe Hulk movie... but have it as some sort of Team-Up movie, with another of the Avengers in it, or some other hero they want to introduce.

[Reavant]

Man, you just come into these threads spouting the wildest theories like they are remotely credible.

i said if they ever make one... never said they were going to

[Reavant]

also if by wild theories you mean me saying joseph goron-levit being azrael theeeen that remains to be seen but by going with the character story with bain and all that, it does make sense even if its just his code name

[Fignuts]

I think he was talking about your prediction about red hulk being the villain.

[Swiss Ultimate]

Wait, are you saying that Azrael is Bane?

[Corporate CockSnogger]

On this other forum I'm on, the general consensus is that all of these films are shit. They're a bunch of miserable bellends, mind you.

[Swiss Ultimate]

The only other forums I'm "on" are engineering forums and that's just because I want to use them as a resource later. I have abandoned everywhere beside TPWW.

You should become a TPWW Exclusive like me.

[Fignuts]

There is an old school gaming website I post on that has a similar feel to tpww, but there are only a few new posts a day, if that.

[Skippord]

There's actually another Avengers movie coming out. This one may even be better.

[Skippord]

holy shit how much does Chyna look like that girl Reavant posed with in a picture that one time with the Rocky Balboa face?

[Rammsteinmad]

Was impressed by their knowledge of the source material to be honest. Though I lost interest when I saw Chyna was in it.

[Tom Guycott]

Rather see Ultron in the next Avengers movie.

"Where is the lazer?"

"Ask the police!"



"You can't escape"

"You'll be the ones escaping!"

[Reavant]

holy shit how much does Chyna look like that girl Reavant posed with in a picture that one time with the Rocky Balboa face?

haha yea she does

[Optimus Bone 69]

One of the greatest movies ever, definitely doesn't disappoint
remember and stay past the credits!!
Holy Shit Bit

[VSG]

Post credit scene already leaked. Spoilers below, your move..

Thanos (http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=24627)!

[mitchables]

i said if they ever make one... never said they were going to

Yeah but check out what else you said:

well then ur gunna hate the a next hulk movie considering theyre probably guna use it to introduce the red hulk if they make it

"You ARE going to hate the next Hulk movie"
"They're PROBABLY going to introduce the Red Hulk"
"...oh right, if they make it"

See what I am saying here? There's nothing probable about it. Where did you get the information that it is a likelihood they'll introduce the Red Hulk? Other than you just deciding it would be pretty cool, I mean.

[Reavant]

its not even like im backpedaling or anything its right there that I said IF ... your just putting parts of the statement in bold and not paying attention to the whole thing.

Are you dumb? can you not go past 20 words before you lose focus on what you are reading?

And likelihood of using the red hulk? Well considering in comics these days, red hulk is way more in your face than the green hulk considering he is only in his own book right now and red hulk is in the avengers, his own book, the AvX story, and even showed up in the Venom book. Sooooo in order to either A. build the team for future avengers films considering there already IS talk of the civil war storyline being used in a future film or B. introduce a villain that is way more visible and popular at this point it would make sense to make money on a character that has so much exposure.

But who are we kidding... you fell asleep in the first line of this post.

[Blitz]

Got my midnight screening tickets today :heart:

Had to go 3d unfortunately, but better than nothing.

[The Destroyer]

Surprised it took as long as it did for someone to ruin the surprise of the post-credits scene for me. Oh well.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I've managed to stay in the dark for pretty much everything about the film. Seeing it tonight, pretty excited.

[PorkSoda]

Already rated 8.9 on IMDB and hasn't come out in theaters yet. One more week to go.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

It's out in a lot of places, just not the US.

[PorkSoda]

Makes sense.

Trying my best not to read any reviews or anything. I already know about the end credits scene.

[Kalyx triaD]

Not reading reviews and I won't touch that post-credits vids. So close.

[Rammsteinmad]

Dunno about the rest of the world, but here in Deutschland it came out on Wednesday, I think. Maybe yesterday.

I'm gonna see it Monday. I usually like to wait out the first few days (especially the weekends) when the cinema is packed. Hopefully the Monday 2pm showing won't have too many people.

[Kalyx triaD]

May 4th for most us Yanks, including me. Gonna have an Avengers week starting Sunday where I will watch all the movie-verse movies a night.

[Krimzon7]

Me too...except I'm gonna do it at work

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Well I went to see it last night and my word it was fantastic. I've never been so comfortable in a cinema, solely because I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

I thought the general pacing of the film was really well done in my opinion considering how much there was to fit in and all the character reveals never felt forced at all, although they possibly could've shown a bit more of Thor getting back to Earth, although not exactly necessary, but considering how they made somewhat of a big deal about him not being able to return at the end of Thor, it could've done with at least a scene rather than him just appearing.

All the cast were on top form and there was some very "Whedonesque" moments which as a fan I can't complain about. All the one-liners that you would expect in a superhero movie were there and were done really well, especially from Stark, Coulson and towards the end Hulk. Coulson dying was a pretty big shock as well, although someone was always going to die in a Whedon film.

One gripe I have though is how inferior Captain America was portrayed in comparison to Hulk, Thor and Iron Man. They probably could've done with him going toe-to-toe with Hulk perhaps to show he is up there with them, but in the end it seemed he was more of an equal to Black Widow, than the other three. The scene towards the end when Stark asks Captain America to come up with a strategy was the only indication that his strengths and advantages over the others lie tactically and came across a little forced. Also speaking of Black Widow, she was done really well and came across as a complete "badass" which isn't really a surprise considering the director.

But yeah seriously, wow. Feel as though I've been a bit negative there, but that's only because the good parts are so obvious they don't even need stating. It really was a fantastic film.

[Kalyx triaD]

And your absurd ass posted it here. No tag or anything. -1

[Kalyx triaD]

Mind you, several clues were around for months, but seriously dude.

[VSG]

Fuck you man

[Raven Reaper]

Saw this twice already in 3-D. Much better the 2nd time around. And for those of you who're gonna see it, don't leave until the half-end credits cos this villain just showed up and it's FUCKING HUUUUUGE EPIC WIN.

This guy:

http://images.wikia.com/marveldatabase/images/6/61/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_8.jpg

Yep, I even beat him on Marvel Super Heroes arcade game with Iron Man as my character. Haha

[Raven Reaper]

I just read more info about my new crush Black Widow on wiki saying that:

In The Ultimates 2, she's revealed as the traitor to the avengers and sided with The Liberators and was later killed by hawkeye after she got nanonites activated by Iron Man rendering her in a hospital..

If they make a movie about Black Widow's origin, I might be watching but this spoiler version I just said, I hope they won't make it.. I just don't wanna see my sexy heroine ending up like that.. <3333 Scarlett. omnomnomnomnom.

Sure, lets put it here

http://www.nme.com/filmandtv/news/mark-ruffalo-signs-six-movie-deal-to-appear-as-hul/267220


Mark Ruffalo has signed a contract to appear as 'Hulk' in six films, including the recently released Avengers Assemble. The actor, who makes his first appearance as the character in the blockbuster, has signed on for five further films, which are likely to include a number of Avengers sequels and a stand alone Hulk movie.

Speaking to Collider, Ruffalo also revealed that he very much hoped to star in a solo Hulk film and how much he enjoyed making Avengers Assemble.

He said of this: "I was so impressed and blow away by how much [Joss Whedon] packs into this movie and how exciting it is and what a great ride it is, and how it just works on every level."

As well as Ruffalo, Avengers Assemble stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L Jackson. You can watch the trailer at the bottom of the page.

The film has so grossed over $180 million worldwide and topped the UK box office with takings of over £15.8 million last weekend.

[Kalyx triaD]

Good for him.

[Heyman]

Good for him.

Agreed With Kalayx.

Hopefully, he doesn't die like Agent Coulson.

[Rammsteinmad]

Caught an early screening of it at midday. I was the only person in the cinema, which was pretty awesome and I never imagined would happen. Film was incredible! Loved it! Kinda wish the end battle was longer, the Avengers didn't really seem to be getting their asses kicked, in order to make the big comeback, but overall was a fantastic movie, and worth five movies of hype.

My only complaint was the fact I had to watch it in German! :mad: There were some moments I didn't understand, but the biggest gripe I had with it is the same thing I hated about Johnny English 2, and that's overdubs. Rowan Atkinson without Rowan Atkinson's voice, isn't Rowan Atkinson. The same applied to the Avengers. Stark's quips didn't seem as effective without Robert Downey Jrs. voice, and as you can imagine, Thor doesn't sound like an Asgardian God of Thunder with a German accent.

But this is a personal thing for me, and not really a problem with the movie, will definitely watch it in English when it comes out on DVD.

Was prepared to 'die a happy man' after seeing this movie, but now with the hint of Thanos being in a sequel, gonna have to prolong my life by a few more years.

[Rammsteinmad]

Loved all the dialogue as well. And especially lol'd when Hulk punched Thor after they took down that huge dragon thing.

One quirky observation: nobody was hurt! Didn't see any innocent people die!!! Thor fell in that prison thing, on a beach, in broad daylight on a sunny day, and conviently nobody was there!!! Hulk happened to fall into an abandoned building! For all the cars being blown up and buildings collapsing and dragons smashing into sides of skyscrapers, I didn't see a single civilian get crushed/blown up/shot etc. Pretty sure I saw one car get blown up with someone RIGHT NEXT TO IT and they completely no-sold the explosion.

That's probably what I would do, too.

[VSG]

Rammy, the film is not out in USA yet.

[Rammsteinmad]

Cheers for letting me know that. :D

I watched it in Deutschland.

[Raven Reaper]

Someone just posted a review saying there's a FUCKING 2ND ENDING AFTER THE END CREDITS?!? WHY AM I NOT INFORMED about these things? Since it came out last month.. I already had 2 viewings and I still hadn't seen it..

And the reviewer says the 2nd ending didn't add anything to the story, it only provided a little chuckle and lol moment.. I don't know what scene it is.. SO, please spoiler tags for that one.

[Fignuts]

Can safely say that Ruffalo fits better in this movie, particularly whedon's dialogue, than Norton would have.

As for the hulk, he's better here than he was in any of his solo movies.

Oh really? Fuck. Stayed until about halfway through the credits, but since I was the only person in the cinema, all the staff already came in to 'clean up' and get ready for the next viewing (yeah, because one guy made sooooo much mess), so I kinda felt a bit weird still sitting there waiting, so got up and left.

[Fignuts]

The second post credits scene isn't anything special. Just a funny little shout out to a previous line in the film.

I didn't see it either, but apparently they are all sitting in a restaurant eating Shwarma.

[Raven Reaper]

I even was confirmed by some facebook friend of mine saying that the 2nd ending is only available in the U.S. version while the international version only had the 1st one..

[Blitz]

Whedon killed it, man. Just killed it. Absolutely the right choice for this movie.

It started off a little slow, which is necessary when you have to establish so much. The interplay between the personalities of the characters is fantastic. Hawkeye ended up getting the short end of the stick in terms of...well, pretty much everything. Which is unfortunate, but expected. He's stuck in an ensemble flick, and he doesn't have the benefit of having a whole movie to build him up like all the others. I really wish they'd given him some kind of mask or helmet, even a set of special sunglasses or something. Makes him less boring and gives more credibility to his incredible aim. Everyone else was pretty awesome, except Maria Hill, and only because she's given pretty much nothing to do except report stuff to Fury.

Mark Ruffalo narrowly edges out RDJ for MVP. Downey is possibly better as Stark here than he was in Iron Man 1, and definitely better that Iron Man 2. But Ruffalo did the impossible. He made me give a shit about the Hulk. After so many portrayals of Banner as a brooding, woe-is-me genius, it was great to see him portrayed as more in control, and to an extent, at peace with himself. When they make the next Hulk movie with him, I'll be first in line.

Onto some more spoilery stuff:

-The scene in which Hulk slams the fuck out of Loki is Top 10 material. Like, Top 10 movie moments ever. Like, Top 10 life moments ever. All the best applause or laugh moments in the movie are Hulk.
-Even knowing Coulson was going to die thanks to all the brouhaha here, it was still a shock when it happened. I hadn't forgotten it, and I knew it was coming in that scene, it still made me jump a bit. That's why I don't get too worked up about spoilers. It's not what happens, it's the way it happens.
-That said, I kinda wish I hadn't found out the Thanos reveal. Again though, still cool as fuck.
-The 2 minor gripes I had in terms of plot stuff was that it's pretty much glossed over how Banner goes from having no control of Hulk on the helicarrier to being fine during the battle of New York. But it's a 2 hour and change movie with a lot of stuff to cram in, so I'll give it a pass. And did the end of Thor go out the window? Wasn't Loki supposed to have possessed Selvig already?
-Favourite line: Cap, checking the inner workings of the helicarrier: "It looks as though it's powered by some kind of electricity!"
-I love the way Whedon trusts the audience to get it. Even little stuff like Coulson's last words. "They need something to..." you don't have to finish that sentence. And he didn't.
-Wish Hawkeye hadn't been a heel for half the movie.
-Scarlett Johansson's ass in a tight leather suit is the best argument I've seen for 3D yet
-If you can watch the last hour of this flick without a massive stupid grin plastered on your face, you're not a comic book fan. Or a movie fan.

In closing, fucking see it. Pissed that we'll probably have to wait 4 more years for another one.

[Blitz]

Oh, and the after credits scene

is just the Avengers sitting in a half destroyed shwarma restaurant eating at a table. They don't say anything, just look at each other. Nice comic beat to end it.

[Krimzon7]

This moving is Seriously the most epic thing I've ever seen. I am drained from the epicness.

[Xero]

Was amazing. So glad I went to the midnight showing.

The scene where Hulk slams the shit out of Loki really was fucking epically hilarious.

[Krimzon7]

The scene where Hulk slams the shit out of Loki really was fucking epically hilarious.

ABSOLUTELY. Laughed and was cheering the whole time!

[Shaggy]

Was amazing. So glad I went to the midnight showing.

The scene where Hulk slams the shit out of Loki really was fucking epically hilarious.

The only scene that made me laugh possibly harder was...

When Hulk and Thor are fighting side by side and then they are just standing there and Hulk just punches Thor out of no where

[Rammsteinmad]

Definitely. That moment was hilarious. :D

[ClockShot]

Grabbed a ticket to the 1:00 2D show at my theater tomorrow. Hopefully the sun will come out in time so all the kiddies will stay home and play outside.

[screech]

Saw it this afternoon with my fiancee and her brother. Was amazing. Can't think of much to complain about, really.

Question about this



The scene where Hulk slams the shit out of Loki really was fucking epically hilarious.

Thought I heard Hulk say something as he was leaving, but the people in the theater were cheering so I missed it. Anyone know what he said, if anything?

[Blitz]

It's either "Pure ego" or "Puny God".

I only know this because as soon as I got home, I went straight to Demonoid to download a shitty cam version just to watch that part again.

[Kalyx triaD]

OMFG


- Fucking Perfect.
- Hulk stole the final battle in terms of laughs and action.
- The Thor/Hulk team-up was awesome. The final moment was great.
- I was worried Cap would be downgraded to make RDJ look better, but make no mistake Cap the fucking leader. he got strangers to follow his orders.
- Black Widow's interrogation technique managed to fool the audience and that is art right there.
- Giving Loki a somewhat comedic defeat is almost WWE job-out territory, but you can't beat that scene with a stick. I also missed Hulk's one line in the film because people were cheering so much.
- Hulk vs Thor, in live action... Great scenes, with both put over.
- Hawkeye was so badass in the final battle. The no-look shot was epic.
- "...He's my brother!" "He killed 80 people in 2 days." "He was adopted."
- Wish Jane Foster appeared as Pepper did, but I'm glad they referenced her.
- In fact, surprised at how much they referenced the past movies.
- I thought they would do a call back with Thor being able to power up Tony by having him bring back from coma/knock out/death, but Hulk screaming him awake was great.
- I can talk about this all day. I loved the movie. Will watch it many more times in my life.
- Epic Fucking Win.

[Blitz]

I also missed Hulk's one line in the film because people were cheering so much.
See post #411.

[VSG]

Just got back from my screening. So glad to see this in 3D, and Scarlett Johansson's ass is a piece of wonder.

[Kalyx triaD]

I see.

Because of the 'important' credits scene, I imagine Thor's sequel will be significant.

The 'funny' credits scene would have been a good time for Thor to do an old gag from his movie.

Seriously ScarJo's ass was not prominently shown off. Did I miss something? She's gorgeous, though.

[Blitz]

I saw it in iMax 3D, and there were clearly a few shots of her designed to take advantage of every dimension.

[Kalyx triaD]

Saw it in 2D, IMAX was sold out, too. Still a good ride.

[Blitz]

Wish I could've seen it in 2D, Fuck 3D. Even with Scarlett Johansson's glorious ass.

[Destor]

saw it 2d. 3d takes away from watching the movie...find myself watching the pretty images more. anyhow will see it in 3d pretty soon prolly tommorow just cause it was worth a 2nd viewing...prolly 3rd and 4th too.

[RP]

How could.you not stay past the credits when just about all the previous five movies had a scene after the credits? Come on. Thats just being dumb.

[JimmyMess]

Amazing.

[Xero]

This was my first 3D movie (in IMAX no less). Other than having worn my glasses instead of my contacts which sucked, I was pretty amazed at the quality of the 3D. I'll say I look at it as less of a gimmick now and that it definitely sucked me in at times where I forgot for a second or two that I was even watching a movie. I was impressed to say the least.

[VSG]

Ya I have seen many 3D movies and this is def one of the better ones. No regrets at all.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fuck 3D.

Gonna see it again today with Khuntry and some others. Gonna be a good day. Now I can focus on dialogue as is often the case with double dipping a movie.

[ClockShot]

Just got back from this. Had a fucking blast. Alot of the summer movies are gonna have a hard time getting equal or suprassing this.

Ran into a buddy of mine and his girlfriend. He was seeing it again for a 2nd time.

[Nark Order]

Who knew that putting a comic book movie in the hands of a director that loves and cherishes comic books would be a good idea??? :?::?:

[ClockShot]

Numbers just came out. $80.5 mil opening day. #2 behind Deathly Hallows 2 at $91.1 mil.

[mitch_h]

I was kind of skeptical going into this mainly because I thought it would only appeal to huge comic book fans while ostracizing those looking for a well structured movie. I also didn't overly like any of these superheroes individual films, but I do have a certain nostalgic affection for the characters. That being said I actually really liked this. Whedon is a much better director than Favreau, Johnston, Brannagh and Leterrier. The humour was really good, and they balanced the indiividual character arcs, group arc and overall narrative. The action was actually enjoyable too, really liked the Rio Bravo scene on the big airplane, and there was a wonderful shot where it kinda tracked all the Avengers during the big Manhattan scene. I liked that Harry Dean Stanton had a small role as the janitor dude who found Ruffalo.

Most summer blockbusters are so ineffective and it was nice to take a break from some experimental Taiwanese/Romanian film or whatever the fuck I normally watch and let my inner child come out.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Not to beat a dead horse, but this movie was fucking amazing.

I don't read comics, I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies, and I've only seen parts of Iron Man (I haven't seen Thor, the Hulk movie, or Captain America.) Still, this movie was insanely fun, and brilliantly well done.

And yes, the Hulk/Loki seen is pure gold.

[Fignuts]

Going again this thursday to see it in 3-d.

The whole movie just flows together so well. Nothing feels like it drags at all. The chemistry between all these characters is amazing, and it's straight from the books. Wish Whedon would do more comic book movies.

Think I saw the scene where the camera pans around the team back to back about 50 times before I saw the film, and yet it is no less amazing when it's time comes.

Hawkeye and Widow held their own, just like I thought they would. Hawkeye especially was a total badass.

Loki was fantastic. I like how towards the end there was that one scene, where you thought Thor was finally going to get through to him in that cliched sort of way, only for loki to heel it up even more.

Skrulls were pretty good. I could see them returning in a later film, with their more traditional shape changing infiltration technique, in a sort of secret invasion adaptation, since the direct approach failed. Or maybe they'll even do the kree skrull war. Given the next apparent villain, they'll already be doing cosmic stuff.

Thanos is my favorite villain of all time. I hope Whedon is doing the sequel, because I don't know if I trust anyone else to get him right. But god damn, I didn't think they'd go straight for one of the most powerful villains ever. Thought they'd due Ultron or Kang first. Thanos isn't even an avengers villain. He's a villain for the entire marvel universe.

Some minor gripes

Caps suit looked a little better in motion, but it still looked a bit goofy next to everyone else's costumes. His ww2 duds do look a bit dated, but I feel like they could have done a bit better with the update.

Loki's alliance with the skrulls and Thors return to earth are poorly explained, but that's forgivable, as the movie is already almost 2 and a half hours long. Probably would have had to cut some other more important stuff.

Did they ever actually say "assemble" at all in the movie? Seems odd that they wouldn't. Maybe I just missed it.

Overall, this is my new favorite superhero movie. My new favorite action movie. My new favorite movie, period.

[Nowhere Man]

Just posted a full review for the movie on my shiny new blog, which 'yall can see right here (http://bazzardthebazz.blogspot.com/2012/05/okay-its-been-while-since-ive-done-full.html) if you're so inclined.

[dronepool]

I'm waiting to see this my great friend/ex-gf... probably sometime in the next week. It looks good but at same time hoping it won't be too cheesy. I just hope it's as good as the hype says it is, Iron Man 1 was very good (for a Marvel movie) but the sequel and all the others (Hulk, Thor and Cap) were either mediocre or pretty good- but not really "great".

The scene where Hulk slams the shit out of Loki really was fucking epically hilarious.

Honestly thought as a 31 year old man i would never see a blockbuster marvel movie like this in my life time and i honestly think it was one of the greatest and most enjoyable movie s ive ever seen
FACT!

[Optimus Bone 69]

Also the first movie ive ever been to in scotland where people were openly cheering and pointing at the screen at every inside joke or reference
just amazing me and my mate were like 8 year old kids again that was worth the money alone but im sure the wife wasnt happy at the £200 spent in forbidden planet after the film for my hot toys iron man

[Kalyx triaD]

Random Notes/Trivia/Thoughts:

- Thor's look covered his three major costumes; sleeveless/cape = Kirby, sleeveless/no cape = Ultimate, full armor = JMS.
- Aside from the Bifrost, we now know that the Cube and certain dark magic can also transport you across the realms.
- After the events of IM2, it seems Stark does not trust Natasha or SHIELD in general.
- After acquiring Hawkeye, Loki did some scouting - already knowing about Cap, Hulk, and Black Widow. He really should have been primed about Stark's arc reactor heart, though.
- All of the hero vs hero fights ended in some sort of draw, except for Widow vs Hawkeye.
- Cap could hang with Loki, who in turn has fought Thor, who has shown to hold his own against Hulk. One could conclude that Cap could potentially survive a fight against Hulk if they were ever to tango.
- How would James Rhodes/War Machine feel meeting Captain America? And has Rhody ever been approached by SHIELD, being not only a superhero but a soldier himself? Hmm...
- Nobody said, "Avengers Assemble!" Or I may have missed it. Would have been perfect before the iconic sweeping shot.
- With Thanos revealed, I think Thor 2 will be the most significant of the 'fallout' period. His movie deals with the cosmic areas of the Marvel U., and the famous Infinity Gauntlet was last seen in Thor. It seems things don't stay in Odin's Vault for long.
- They finally make it clear that Natasha is from Russia, which should make a possible appearance by Winter Soldier in Cap 2 more interesting.

[Skippord]

I think I liked Jeremy Renner the best. Was also surprised at how much I enjoyed Mark Ruffalo

[Schlomey]

Tell me why the Hulk went all bat shit crazy on the plane but totally had control over Hulk 20 minutes later? That's my only complaint. Otherwise it was a perfect movie.

[Fignuts]

I think it was stark who talked to him and told him he could probably control it better if he tried. And then that old security gaurd said that hulk aimed for the abandoned building when he fell, and banner seemed to have an epiphany.

It's probably one of those things that they wanted to delve into more, but was cut for time.

Judgement call, and like I said, the movie is so fucking good as it is, that I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they cut the right scenes.

[Schlomey]

it was a bit of a hole for me that was rather glaring but just wow...everything else was so top notch it's worth the hype for a change.

[Rammsteinmad]

Something I thought of, but probably requires too much thinking and best to just not think about at all, is that maybe Hulk could just sense who the enemies were here. Seeing the Avengers battle the alien invasion, and then even Captain America telling him to 'smash' (at least, that was the german translation of what he said), probably made him realise this was his side.

Of course, Hulk has yet to show any kind of reason before that, so this seems illogical why he even went in for that spinning shot to begin with.

Maybe they will dig into this in another Hulk movie?

[Jordan]

This movies was fucking awesome. I expected it to suck, and I was 100% wrong. Mark Ruffalo = best Hulk ever, Thor is a God, Captian America gained my respect, Hawkeye was cool too, and Iron Man was rad. Great f'n movie, very well directed and written, what a surprise. Gonna be hard to make a better popcorn flick than this for some time.

[Kalyx triaD]

Some Thoughts On Hulk:

- At the end of Incredible Hulk Banner opened his eyes with some ambiguous satisfaction. The talk of the town was whether he made a heel turn or finally had control of it. Banner's payoff line at the end of Avengers, after alluding to some 'secret' for the whole movie, imo finally answered the question IH raised in that last shot. For the most part, he is always in control.

- Hulk busting loose on the Helicarrier was preceded by the big group argument, that heavily hinted that they were all subtly under the influence of Loki's scepter. Look at their eyes and gestures of headaches from a few of them. Also listen to the unease music. The camera angles were also shot with discomfort, particularly during Thor's line about them being petty (and small!). This same kind of psychological mindfuck shot was used when Widow was watching over Hawkeye after is face-turn, and he was describing how it was to be under Loki's control. I figure Hulk going crazy at the base was an extension of that anger, as it was Loki's play all along.

- Hulk does not reason well, but several movies shows that he himself his a hero. The shot in Ang Lee's Hulk where he jumps on a jet to save the bridge. The entire third act of Incredible Hulk, too. When Banner unleashed Hulk at the final battle, he knew who the bad guys were. He did, however, remember his brawl with Thor and he certainly got the last word there.

[Lock Jaw]

I think it is all about how he changes. On the hellicarrier, he was triggered by what was going around him. His "rage" wasn't focused, so when he Hulked Up, he just went after Black Widow because she was the only one there. Then fought Thor because Thor was getting in his way.

When he changed for the end fight, he was pretty clearly "directing" himself at the bad guys. So he smashed the bad guys, and helped the people who seemed to be helping him. Part of him obviously remembered fighting Thor though.

Same with in Incredible Hulk. When he Hulked up "directing" himself at Abomination, he clearly had more control than when he is set off via other means.

[Lock Jaw]

Oh yeah, saw the movie BTW. Was pretty incredible.

Had a big grin of awe/enjoyment throughout the entire climax of the film.

The only "fault" I could really give it is the lack of explanation of how Thor got back to Earth.

Was just like "Oh Hey, Thor is here now" and "Odin must have used a lot of power to send you here!"

Minor point though, that I don't really care about because I was too busy being blown away by Awesome.

[DaveBrawl]

Something off topic I noticed during the previews that struck me as odd.

I sort of understand why Battleship is using that wierd screeching moan sound effect that was so prevalent in Transformers, but even the new Spiderman seemed to be using it at points. I especially noticed it in the scene with the tower falling. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but it just really stood out to me.

[Fignuts]

That's awesome.

[RP]

Liked the movie. Few things. One,I think Thor is terribly boring. CA was too til he was in his enviroment at the end. How can Coulson die if hes already signed on for five more movies? Hawkeye was a lot more awesome than I thought he would be.

[Kalyx triaD]

Coulson may appear in flashbacks and such.

[Lock Jaw]

The Coulson that died was a ROBOT, because they needed something to avenge.

Either that or FLASHBACKS. Or maybe a Dream Sequence/Coma Fantasy.

[Lock Jaw]

Or Thanos brings him back to life somehow and then kills him again, and RP spoils it again.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fury's gonna have a final chat with a robot, with nobody else there to see the 'show'? Nah, he's dead. Idea's swirling around that he can come back as Vision, but I think that's stupid.

[YOUR Hero]

I didn't find the movie all that great. It was ok, but you guys are making it out like it was the gretest thing you've ever seen. In comparisson to say the Batman movies, this movie lacks.

[Kalyx triaD]

>>> It doesn't wanna be anything like the Batman movies.

[Fignuts]

I like this better than the batman movies.

[RP]

Its not even close to The Dark Knight

Also I loved Loki. Loved the guy who plays him. He stole the movie.

[Skippord]

"This usually works"

is my favorite non "Hulk Smash" line of the movie

[Shaggy]

Kalyx and Lockjaw...

Your thoughts on why Hulk went crazy actually make alot of sense to me. I never thought about it till you mentioned it but that would explain the way things happened.

That was one of my only gripes with the movie but thanks to you its a gripe no more.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cool.

[Kalyx triaD]

Also, to some degree, Mr. Blue's experiment may have added some extra level of control even though it didn't fully suppress his condition as planned. Though he can still rage out, perhaps we'll see a more heroic Hulk going forward.

As for Mr. Blue, the prequel comic series went ahead and established him as The Leader, and that comic is canon far as I know.

[Reavant]

Fury's gonna have a final chat with a robot, with nobody else there to see the 'show'? Nah, he's dead. Idea's swirling around that he can come back as Vision, but I think that's stupid.

coming back as vision is actually an awesome idea... its a better fit for this universe than having him be a Resurrection of the original human torch

[DAMN iNATOR]

So this thing apparently cleared more than $200M at the box office in it's opening weekend, shattering the old Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Part 2...amazing.

[Lock Jaw]

Fully expected it to.

[cardsharkrob]

My thoughts on Coulson is not actually proven that he is dead. Just because Fury said he was doesn't mean he really is. Fury is known for hiding things from his team, so Coulson maybe alive. Just my opinion

[McLegend]

I loved every minute of it, and it felt like I was watching an actual comic book.

I thought Captain America was going to get the short end of the stick, but he was awesome you could easily buy him when he was giving orders to everyone.

It's really hard to say who stole the show though, because there were so many great performances.

[XL]

So much to love about the execution of this film. The comedy was every bit as good as the action. Some of the lines/exchanges/"beats" were fantastic.

The Avengers gets a sequel.

[Kalyx triaD]

The sequel will quicker than the last buildup. We just have Cap 2, Thor 2, and Iron Man 3 in between. Loving this.

Unless they announce another movie that will come before it.

I think a problem with the Captain America suit is that's too blue. It looks kind of like a sky blue, but should be more like a darker blue.

I still liked the suit though.

quick edit

I would actually put the wings on the Helmet or I would leave off the wings entirely. I don't like how they are painted on.

[Fignuts]

Apparently, marvel has aleready reserved the date of May 16, 2014. People are speculating that it's for Avengers 2.

I wonder if Thanos will be the actual villain for it, or they'll just have him somewhat involved. i say that because where the fuck do you go from after Thanos? He is baddest, meanest, most dangerous threat in all the marvel universe. He's taken over all reality, several times. Not even Galactus or the abstract entities have been able to stop this guy.

Feel like it might be better if he is still in the role of "puppet master" in the second film, though still taking more action than he did in the first. Then in the 3rd movie we get the direct, cataclysmic battle.

Saying that much, I would definitely have Ultron be the next main villain. Maybe even have Thanos somehow influence the rise of Ultron's sentience.

Who would you guys like to see as villains in the solo films?

For Thor, they could go the route of Odin dying, and Thor and friends having to fight Hela to get him back. Maybe have Enchantress, or Ulik as a secondary.

Cap, I think the only way to go is to bring Red Skull into the modern age, but add the twist of the winter soldier being under his command. My one beef with the first film was that the battle between Cap and the skull didn't seem as personal as some of the other marvel flicks. They were just fighting on opposite sides of a war. I think now that they've had their first epic clash, and bringing bucky back in as skull's puppet, we would see some real chemistry between cap and skull.

Iron man is a bit trickier, since as I've said, his rogues gallery is kind of a steaming pile of poo. Ben Kingsley is already a part of it apparently. Despite marvel saying he won't be the mandarin, I think they're lying, as he seems very good for the role. Mandarin uses 10 alien rings in the comics, so maybe in this, he can use 10 rings made from the skrull tech left on earth after their failed invasion.

Dunno, this movie got me so amped, that this stuff just goes in and out my head all day.

Also, to those saying this isn't even close to the batman films, I think it is a bit unfair to compare the two. Yes, they are both superhero flicks, but they are two very differnt kinds of movies.

Dark Knight is the perfect dark, gritty, realistic supero movie, while Avengers is the perfect colorful, explosive, as-far-from-reality-as-you-can-get, super hero movie.

They both are the be all and end all of their kind, and which is better comes down to personal preference.

For me, I grew up with X-men and Avengers, and seeing giant battles unfolding accross massive cityscapes. People and things beyond your wildest imagination waging epic clashes. That is what The Avengers is. It takes the scale of the battles right from the page, and the spectacle alone, is enough to put it over The Dark Knight, for me.

I loved this film. I felt that Joss Whedon did an incredible job with what was given to him. This film is just so fun to watch and IMO its the best film Marvel has ever put out to date

[McLegend]

Not gonna lie I though The Red Skull was going to be in the after credits scene


So this is some stupid fanboy thing that actually doesn't matter, but...


Iron Man 2 takes place 6 months after Iron Man. Thor takes place during and directly after Iron Man 2. I'm not sure about Captain America, but I would think it takes place sometime after Thor.

Now I question The Incredible Hulk. I have heard that it takes place during Iron Man 2. Now that would explain the after credits scene in the Incredible Hulk since it seemed like they were talking about the Avengers. I don't buy that though, I think it takes place after Iron Man. Since Fury was in the end of Iron Man.

In the Avengers though Bruce Banner says he went to Harlem a year ago.

So in short the Avengers does not take place in 2012, but instead takes place in 2010.

Incredible Hulk takes place after Iron Man 2, where Stark was made "The Consultant".

You know what would be streets ahead? If they did a series of "shorts" that would air before the new Thor/Cap/Iron Man movies.

Could focus on Hawkeye/Black Widow and explore their origins and stories and whatever. Three shorts, all continuing the story from the last.

They should do one about Thor on how he gets back to Earth.

Cap 2: Winter Soldier. Explain Bucky's longevity along with Nick Fury's, who alluded to the Infinity Serum in IM2. More badassery from Widow and Hawkeye. Since Cap's with SHIELD now, he needs to dress the part some of the time - use the black bearing Bucky-Cap suit for a few scenes. May be some world hopping; good time to visit Wakanda and meet a certain prince...

Thor 2: The Enchantress and Hella would be cool. Visit some other worlds. Selvic really should head to Asgard.

Iron Man 3: Seems like a given that some version of The Manderin will be the villain. More War Machine action. Rescue perhaps? Too soon?

Avengers 2: War of the Fucking Gems.

[Fignuts]

Selvic in asgard would be great.

Wonder if they'll do "demon in a bottle" for IM 3.

[Kalyx triaD]

I think that scene in IM2 said everything needed to be said about Demon in a Bottle. Tony got wasted, Rhody took initiative. A simplification, yeah, but that's what I think it is.

[RoXer]

I dunno. I mean, this movie was okay. I GUESS

[RoXer]

Pretty amazing flick. All of my thoughts have mostly been said so I won't regurgitate.

I saw it in BEAUTIFUL IMAX 3D and I feel the 3D was done really well. Maybe my 2nd favorite film as far 3D movies go. I can imagine the shots in 2D look just as great also. Hell, 3D wasn't even a big selling point for me, I just wanted to see it on a big ass IMAX screen.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Thor's entrance was a little cheap, all things considered.

I also had to explain Black Widows "powers" to some people but if you think about it, if you went into this movie without any knowledge of what she does, it's becomes kind of difficult to put a finger on it as the movie doesn't do a great job at portraying it.

I was also worried that there wasn't going to be a Stan Lee cameo as they were getting real close to the end.

But uhhh.... I don't think I have any real complaints.

[RoXer]

As a matter of fact, I would say seeing it in 3D (well, "IMAX 3D" at least) actually adds to it. I know mostly everyone isn't on board the 3D bandwagon but I really enjoyed it.

I was actually worried about this as well. Was "very concerned".

[McLegend]

I bet that was the secert scene that was filmed 2 weeks ago.

[Fignuts]

No, the secret scene was the second post credits scene.

[McLegend]

That's what I meant.

[Hanso Amore]

This was by far my favorite movie ever. Not sure what I can say that hasnt been said before.

Looks like some of the same peeps will be working on Deadpool. which is going to be amazing.

Ruffalo was so good as the Hulk. The first actor to give Banner than "Im a fucking lunatic holding back a beast" vibe.

When He started getting mad and slammed the table early on, and then Widow is scared out of her mind was awesome. 300 agents outside the shanty awaiting the Hulk. really showed the threat he is.

[bigdaddysuperfreak]

I took my boys to see this last night and we had an awesome time. The movie was a bit too long in some spots but then ending completely made up for it.
