I love how Coulson just calmly waits for Natasha to finish with the bad guys. 😂
It's like he's been placed on hold and is listening to elevator music! 😝
It's funny because the director was accused of a bunch of things yet this movie (along with one of the later ones, which I wont mention because of spoilers) portrays Scarlett Johannsson/Natasha extremely well, especially as a woman. She holds her own, her team has so much confidence in her that they are not worried about her performance or her dying, she plays an extremely important role in moving the plot forward, she is very smart yet has some flaws, and she plays the "feme fatal" as a persona/guise and NOT as a cliché, etc., etc..
@@throwacnt7603 Wheedon has always (as far as I know) done women right on screen. How he acted off screen is the problem. Those two facts are not incompatible.
This was probably not the first time when this happened.
@@JustLiesNOR Well I wasn't just talking about his actions off-screen, I was also talking about how some people complained that he chose certain camera angles, etc..
Thor: *hits Iron Man with lightning*
Addie: That can’t be good for the suit
Jarvis: Power at 400% capacity
Addie: Oh, that will be VERY good for the suit
That timing was just perfect lol
They did a great job of working in two tropes from the comics, in practically the same sequence. First, Cap fighting on heroically, even though he's way outmatched (as with Loki here), and then Tony's IMO ridiculous belief that he can take Thor. Nice shoutouts.
Okay, Thor, hit me!
It's what we all thought when we first watched it.
His last villain was electricity-based, so of course he'd make the next version lightning-proof.
@@DragonbIaze052 Because Tony learns from his mistakes
I think the look that Natasha gives after the “Genius billionaire, playboy, philanthropist” is probably my favorite one second in the MCU. It says “he’s not wrong” with one look.
"Everything special about you came out of a bottle."
@@jamesparson Funny when in reality it's actually: "Everything special about you was enhanced from a bottle".
modeled after Howard Huges
@@matthewcostello3530 I think I see some Walt Disney too.
@@jamesparson I think part of both Iron Man 3 and Captain America: Winter Soldier is a reaction to these lines... it asks that same question of Tony and Cap. Take off the suit and what are you? Is the only thing special what came out of that bottle or is it the ideals behind it?
One of the best quotes from this movie? "I have an army." "We have a Hulk."
"Son, just dont'" for me
Even better was "Puny God" that makes me laugh no matter how many times I see Hulk wipe the floor with Loki
@@ArgonTheAware Hence why I said "one of", 'cause there's some really awesome quotes in this film.
And then they nerfed him for she hulk
And Loki said that to Thanos
Yes, he said "Better clench up, Legolas." 🤣 And it's cool that they had Elrond in the previous movie.
I love how Tony gives funny nicknames to everybody he encounters.
The last movie had Elrond AND Thorin (he was the guy who sabotaged the experiment and shot Erskine)
Love the LOTR reference in The Martian.
@@MikeB12800 Yeah, calling something Project Elrond and referring to the council of Elrond, with Sean Bean sitting at the table, who played Boromir, who was at the council of Elrond.
Galadriel, Smaug, young Bilbo, and Smeagol/Gollum are also in the MCU.
For the record: if you want more Coulson, definitely watch Agents of SHIELD. A lot of people wrote it off once it became clear it wouldn’t be closely tied to the movies but it did a good job on its own IMO.
Tahiti is a magical place...
The first season is pretty good. Not too crazy. You will like Ming Na Wen's character. She plays an old friend and colleague of Agent Coulson named Melinda May. Agent Maria Hill appears in some episodes.
The tide is rising. If you decide to watch it you also need to see The Winter Soldier around the same time.
Great show
Yes it’s an amazing show…You will enjoy it very much so☺️
“Whoeve that person is” … in the theatre I yelled when I saw the last purple guy .. I realized at that time what the bigger plot was going to be. I own the comics of the original story line this was all adapted from and felt like I was 10 years old again. ❤️
When I first saw him and heard the line to court death knowing of the character and his love interest from the comic from my old marvel character encyclopedia although sadly not reading the books I was excited but disappointed in the end we didn't get that story and seeing her(death) although his revamped story isn't bad
@@christopherpage2622 Yeah, I knew what was coming, too. I was so excited. It was, at the time, my favorite movie ever. I've outgrown that now, but it's still top 5. End Game is my very favorite. Winter Soldier is probably second.
Tony: "His first name is Agent"
Also Tony: "His name's Phil"
Addie has quickly become amongst one of my favorite reactors. Her joy at watching this and seeing our favorite heroes come together is infectious. It reminds me of why I enjoyed seeing this so much when it came out.
You know who the most courageous character in the MCU is? It's not a superhero. It's the old man who stands up to Loki. He knows for a certain fact that he will die, but gives one of the best lines: "There are _always_ men like you."
And then Loki would have killed him but for the sudden and unexpected intervention of Cap.
That is is how everyone should react to would-be dictators.
@@jamesparson indeed. Sadly, it's almost as if that courage has been bred out of us. ☹️
Certainly in phase 1.
M’Baku is pretty damn impressive charging into battle against T****s and his army. Dude has no powers and a club.
@@SYLTales We don't see it often.
The old man is cap
Addie "I'm going to be honest. I'm excited about this movie."
Us: "Well we hope so!!!! This is the culmination of Phase 1. We had to wait about 4 years for this masterpiece!"
@NolanEP No
@@jkhoover I am going to upvote you just for your disagreeable nature, zest and joie de vivre.
This is my favorite movie of this series of superhero films. It's fun from beginning to end, not overly dramatic, the action is awesome, and the characters are well-defined.
It is a great movie for sure! My only complaint (if you want to call it that) is that I wish they had spent an extra sixty seconds early in the film to explain who/what the Chitauri are. Other than knowing this is the alien space army being loaned to Loki by somebody, and a brief glimpse of aliens at the beginning, there was nothing.
When Banner mentions attempting to off himself, that was actually a scene that was filmed for The Incredible Hulk, but was left on the cutting-room floor.
Look at Tony's face when he says that, that really affects him.
The Hulk's satisfied humph after punching Thor off screen always get a chuckle out of me.
As does his grin at Captain America when Cap is giving orders to the entire team and lastly looks at Hulk and says "Hulk. Smash!" Hulk looks at him like, yeah I understand and I can handle that part for you. Hahahaha. Perfect writing on both those moments.
I love your enthusiasm.
In theaters in 2012, when we got to the scene where the Avengers are first standing in a circle together, audience members literally stood up and cheered.
I would love to go to a cinema with such audience. It just doesn't happen here in Sweden, at least to the ones I've been to.
"They're all so hungry!"
Except Cap, who is hiding a prosthetic jaw with his tiredness 😅 Chris grew a beard for Snowpiercer and couldn't shave it for reshoots, so they put a fake jaw on him. Cap's lace-front remains on point 🤣🤣🤣
What??!!
"SHIELD is really conflicting, because they're not necessarily the perfect good guys."
Oh, Addie, you have no idea...
Uh Oh 👀
😠 Spolier.
Parasites
She needs to see Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD for the full impact of the statement.
They had a San Diego Comic Con panel in 2011, where they introduced the cast and released the trailer a whole year before the movie was released! It didn't show the actors names, it had the Avengers Theme playing, it showed the logo, them it shows the release date.
So the cast was introduced without their names?
I think that might’ve been 2010; because that would’ve been where Marvel was talking about the success of Iron Man 2 earlier that summer; they were promoting Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger coming out next year in 2011; and then they started talking about The Avengers for 2012. That’s where Samuel L. Jackson introduced the cast: Clark Gregg (Ageht Coulson), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America); then Robert Downey Jr. takes over and introduced the new cast members: Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), and Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/Hulk), and then brings out their director, Joss Whedon.
If you want more Agent Coulson, watch Agents of Shield. I won't spoil anymore but watch it and you will fall in love with the series.
Another adorable reaction. You included most of my favourite scenes, and line. Like "Puny god."
And yes he said Legolas. 🤣🤣
Prior to this film, some theaters did a Marvel Movie Marathon, with all the films leading up to a 12:01 AM showtime of Avengers (there was also a "dinner" break after Iron Man 2). My friend and I did the marathon, and before each film, there was a segment hosted by Phil Coulson to introduce the next movie and his perspectives. So it really stung when he died in Avengers and the theater was full of crying fans.
That would have been great!
I didn’t go, but I do remember the marathon being promoted.
Oh my god! I never heard of this. That would have been so amazing to see. Lucky you to get to see that with your friend.
tony immediately proving steve wrong about him not being a hero is my favorite part about this movie. and he even doubled down on it at the end, almost sacrificing himself to save the world. he continues this pattern until he ultimately does sacrifice his life to save the entire universe. he is a true hero through and through, my favorite character forever!
If you're a Coulson fan, watch Agents of SHIELD. Fantastic and hugely underrated show. It picks up right after the events of Iron Man 3, which is your next movie. 👍🏼
Vastly underrated.
The characters are so good.
AoS was awful until Winter Soldier came out, then it completely changed (for the better).
Addie, if you do watch Agents of SHIELD, I would wait at least until you're through Winter Soldier to start it, because there are major spoilers later in season 1 for the films.
@@MattRowland I think "awful" is a huge overstatement, it just took a bit to find it's footing. The first 2/3 of season 1 are just more story-of-the-week, but it's still a good chance to get to know the characters and build to the end of the season.
And yes, Addie, he's right about Captain America: Winter Soldier affecting the show and vice versa, so if you are indeed interested in the continuing adventures of Agent Coulson, maybe wait til after you get through Winter Soldier 👍🏼
This movie was the first of its kind (for our digital era). The idea about making a cinematographic universe was revolutionary. The studio started to connect characters from previous movies to their sequels, until the main characters were united in this film.
For more Coulson, you might want to watch "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
It is funny that Harry Dean Stanton's character asked Bruce Banner if he was an alien, since he was in the movie, "Alien." He was in "The Green Mile,"too, among many other projects.
He’ll always be Bud, from Repo Man, to me..
He was in the original Red Dawn film. He played the father of Swayze and Sheen's characters.
And he was dating Rebecca DeMornay while she was filming "Risky Business". She (age 23) would spend the day vamping around Tom Cruise…and go home to Harry (then 59). Way to go, Harry.
Coulson just went to Tahiti for a while. Watch the SHIELD TV show to follow his story.
I've got to the channel by the LOTR reactions. You are the kind of reactor that I love: looks genuinely excited by the movie, don't talk too much and makes funny, short and intelligent comments. Now I'm a regular.
The “I’m always angry” scene with the Hulk one punching the leviathan is one of the best scenes in the MCU in my opinion.
Coulson is one of my favorite characters in the MCU. I HIGHLY recommend watching the show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. even if you don't do reactions for it, is centered around him and in my opinion on the best show in the MCU to this day. Great reaction also!
Fitz is probably my favorite mcu character
@@spcl0ne646 Science, biatch!
AoS was the GOAT
Coulson dies The entire Marvel fan base "OH HELL NO , THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE" Agents of Shield TV show lasted 7 seasons
You should now add Agents of Shield tv series to your MCU watch
Great Reaction! I like that you understood Loki's scepter was agitating the Avengers. I also like that you recognized Coulson's weapon to have a similar energy signature to the Destroyer from "Thor".
IMO, this movie is one of the MCU's best. It follows the Stan Lee spirit of story telling where every hero shines in their role. None of them are treated as a side character used for cheap laughs.
Nick Fury is a master strategic psychological tactician who knew exactly how motivate Cap & Iron Man into fast cooperation, even if it took a "push" / lie.
So there are a few differences from the comics one of these being the rosters The original Earth-616 founding members were Iron Man, Antman, Wasp, Thor, and Hulk. Captain America was discovered 4 issues later so he wasn’t originally apart of the first Avengers battle but did join them right after he was found. Hawkeye and Black Widow were actually villains at the point in the comics so they of course couldn’t be members of the team but did join the Avengers later on. In the MCU roster we have Iron Man, Cap, Thor, and Hulk just like the comics but unfortunately no Antman or Wasp. Hawkeye and Black Widow filled in for these two. Loki in the comics was also the reason the Avengers formed acting as their first villain. This is the same for the MCU with the only difference being the events themselves as I’m pretty sure in the comics Loki was attacking a Bridge in New York.
IIRC, Antman - Hank Pym - was Giant Man at the time. Also, Hulk left the team fairly early on. He was never really a team player. And much later, Hawkeye became the leader of the newly-founded West Coast Avengers.
@@PhilBagels No, Hank is Ant-Man in Avengers #1. He adopts the Giant-Man ID in his own book (Tales to Astonish) between #1 and #2.
And Loki tricks the Hulk into destroying a bridge in the Southwest because he wants Thor to go fight the Hulk, so Loki can escape the prison island that Odin sent him to before Thor finds out. Loki diverts the distress call about the Hulk so Thor (in NYC at the time) can hear it, but Iron Man and Ant-Man/Wasp also hear it, which is how they all ended up in New Mexico together. (The setting of large parts of "Thor" in New Mexico is a shout-out to this.)
If you love Coulson, you may be interested in the series, Agents of SHEILD.
Bruce Banner/The Hulk is my favorite Avenger and this was a fun reaction.
When Steve Rogers gives the ten dollar bill to Fury, that scene was improved by Chris Evans.
its impossible to rewatch avengers now and not think of what we learn in the hawkeye series.
Yes! Please enjoy this complimentary spoiler-free high five!
You should watch Agents of SHIELD! (It starts after this movie in the timeline)
Tahiti is a magical place.
That Galaga line was actually ad libbed. Robert D Jr was a bit of a genius in this movie.
also when you get the chance to watch Agents of Shield something tells me you probably will like it
If you want to follow what happened to Coulson after this movie, you will have to start watching the TV show "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D"
I love it when the plan comes together.
Wrong franchise
What are you talking about?
@@joshuacampbell7493 I'm sorry. That's a famous quote from an old TV show. I thought you would know the reference.
Just kidding man 😂 I know that reference from The A Team.
Addie Team
11:10, there was a fan theory that the man who stood was a Holocaust Survivor, who has seen just about the worst humanity is capable of.
For me it's a certainty!
Haha you were so excited to get into this one. We were excited FOR you. You seem to enjoy it at least as much as the rest of us. They did a great job "assembling" this film. Each member still has their own story, but now it's a thread in the tapestry of the rest of the saga. Each member had their share of camera time and dialogue, but none of it was forced. It was all organic and fed the plot. That's difficult to do with 7 leads and 4 secondary characters.
I remember when we thought this might be a mess 'cause of too many characters. So quaint now.
Yeah, I'm so glad that studio excuse died. It came up after things like Batman & Robin or Spider-Man 3, but those movies failed because they used the characters ineffectively not because there were too many. All that said, it's still real impressive how well Josh Wheton set the tone for these characters interacting off each others personalities.
Many heroes work, it's many villains that doesn't work. Marvel suposedly asked Joss Whedon which villains except Loki he needed and Whedon answered that he just needed Loki.
@@Rhodair Apparently Joss is a jerk (putting it mildly). But his expertise at ensemble casts is put to masterful work with this one. He nailed it. Perfection, really.
@@DaDunge Many villains can work too, if done right. There are villain groups in both Marvel and DC that work really well, it's when you try to stick unrelated villains together just for a film that things don't work out.
@@WJS774 I'm sure it can work but it's hard to pull off and K can't thik of any movies where it worked well.
All these years later, it’s still amazing that A. They pulled this off and B. It’s as good as it is. This seemed like the biggest gamble when they started building towards it and yet it’s one of the best MCU movies full stop. Phase 2 has a few movies that are a bit wobbly, but the series just kind of builds after a few stumbles and really never lets off the gas until Endgame. Can’t wait for you to see more!
Congratulations, Phase 1 done! Now things get moving. "A" for Addie!
So glad you're doing these. Always fun to enjoy a new viewer's reactions. Looking forward to phase 2.
"Is Coulson ok? Can we get a follow up?" Well good news about that, the show Marvel's Agents of Shield is that follow up! It went 7 solid seasons before ending a few years back and covers coulson and other shield agents in the more 'mundane' events of the marvel universe on earth.
Yes! Highly recommended!
Absolutely. Great series, if not for reactions, just for your own fun.
The first season really follows Phase 2 fairly closely, but I suspect the whole thing was an alternate timeline in the end.
@@mermaidmelodies1492 It follows the MCU timeline all the way through the end of Season 5 - which coincidentally was when Kevin Fiege stopped sharing information about the MCU with the Marvel Television division. They might still retcon it so that it is in a different timeline though.
@@TheCkent100 Not actually the case. The issue was that ABC didn’t know when they were going to screen S6 and that meant that it would be incredibly hard to link into the movies without potentially spoiling them. Obviously spoiling the movies was a complete non starter as an option.
The follow up for Coulson is on the show Agents of shield.
I can't believe this is 10 years old now, wow. Also, the Puny God bit caused the loudest laugh+cheer I've ever heard in a theater.
That smiling purple guy in the mid-credits scene? Oh, you will get to know him VERY well.
I'm so happy that you've enjoyed this movie! I do enjoy all other Avenger movies (that you'll eventually see soon), but this movie has a real special place in my heart! This movie introduce the feeling that heroes do exist and can work together (at least that's what my 14 year old self had thought after watching it the first time, lol). This movie truly lives up to its classic calling card, "The Earth's Mightiest Heroes"! Once again, I am glad that you've enjoyed this movie, Addie, and I look forward for more reactions and the tales to astonish! :-D
There are so many great character moments in Avengers. I love the first conversation between Bruce and Steve where Bruce is clearly nervous about what people think of him and Steve is just a stand up guy reassuring him that he's not going to tear Banner down and he does it with one line. Similarly the revelation that Fury is the kind of person who will dip cards in his dead friend's blood if that's what he has to do to protect the planet is beautiful. Unlike the later Thor movies this one understands how to use Thor in comedy with the "he's adopted" line. Thor not even thinking of talking and instead just grabbing Loki because Thor is a god and he's pretty arrogant and not really thinking he needs to ask. Natasha's terror when Bruce yells at her in India because she's doubtlessly aware the Hulk can tear her to bits, even though she was completely calm dismantling the Russian group in the previous scene of hers.
The movie gets the characters and respects all of them...except hawkeye, but hawkeye is just dumb so that's fine.
37:06 - "SHIELD is really conflicting. They're not necessarily the perfect good guys you'd think they would be."
Cue "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".
"To challenge them is to court, Death."
- Cut to Thanos's smirk.
Such a comic reference.
Yesss! This movie is what pulled me into the MCU back when it first came out. Can't wait to see the rest of the films with you, also I love that you also noticed Tony call Hawkeye Legolas. I got a good laugh from that
It's so much fun to watch you on your Marvel journey. Congratulations on finishing phase 1; it gets better and better.
Till phase 4
I consider Phase 1-3 as the 'first season' of the "Massive Marvel Mega Show", with phase 4 beginning the weaker 'second season'.
It's OK, Coulson went to Tahiti. It's a magical place. (You need to watch the entire Agents of SHIELD series...)
Ah, I remember being so hyped and trying to wait patiently to see this in the theater. It did not disappoint me. Plus I could not stop laughing for about 10 minutes when Hulk smashed Loki. I kind of felt like Bradley Cooper when he was in the A-Team movie.
2 comments. 1 If you want to find out more about Coulson the show Agents of Shield is what you want to watch. It’s actually pretty good.
2. Someone else pointed this out but basically every movie we see Ironman improve his suit against the foes he fought in the previous movie. That’s why he could take Thors lightning, he had improved his suit against electricity from his fight against whiplash in Ironman 2.
This happens again and again.
A friend is an extra in this! She's a guest at the party where the Loki takes an eye. At 11:01 she's the frizzy blonde on the left edge.
I love how Marvel confirmed the fan theory that Loki was also being influenced/ controlled by the Scepter during this film (which is why he looked disheveled and sickly).
The Scepter doesn't *just* mind control those it touches, it's also able to influence the person holding it - Thanos used it to control Loki.
Nice reaction as ever, Addie. And three words for you...Agents of SHIELD!
All the movies from when Tony first donned his suit, from Banner becoming the Hulk, to when Thor sent to Earth to learn to be worthy, and from when Steve came out of the ice all has been leading this of the original 6 Avengers uniting to save the world. While it was a superhero action movie they also balanced a lot of the arcs of the other characters, Thor wanting to take Loki and the Tesseact as to save Earth from another mistake of Asgard, Tony just trying his best to keep the world safe best he can saving the world and doing humane work balancing both his lives as as superhero and as a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, Banner just wanting to stay away from causing damage as possible until be roped against his will into this mess, and Steve lost in a world he doesn’t understand as a soldier the only thing he has is the next fight on his hand. Natasha and Clint even got some character depth while those two have mostly been supporting characters at this point but you learn more about what makes them tick Natasha is trying to redeem herself for her past sins as an assassin for hire and the one person to believe she could be capable of doing good was ironically the person who was ordered to kill her. The character moments were also well done from Thor and Tony going at it until Steve calmed them down, to Tony and Bruce being science bros, to the differences and hostility between Steve and Tony while they didn’t know each other personally they know each other by reputation and the fact they have history with Howard Stark despite their differences Steve and Tony come to appreciate one another Steve sees Tony is willing to make sacrifice play like when he threw the nuke into space and Tony saw Steve as a true leader. And all of this happens thanks to a humble SHIELD Agent named Phillip J Coulson. Fury may have brought them together but the Avengers truly formed because of Phil’s belief in them. As for Loki him getting wrecked by Hulk had such a cultural impact at the time.
it's funny that they kept showing the ad for Farmers Insurance in there, since its spokesperson is JK Simmons who played Jameson in the Spider-Man movies.
"IS COULSON OK?!?!"
NO
"CAN WE GET A FOLLOWUP?"
YES
It's a magical place
@@Heegaherger Tahiti?
“Kneel before me. I said… KNEEL! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.” A very true statement and one of the best quotes in the MCU.
Congratulations on your first Marvel phase!
Phase 2 is even better! But this Avengers film, still holds up and sets a high standard for the MCU that follow.
35:46 Not just that they're hungry after a big battle, or showing the destruction in even a small restaurant, but this is the shawarma joint Tony was suggesting after Hulk shouted him awake. 😎
Coulson lives on in Agents of SHIELD
Addie, Tahiti is a magical place
Hi Addie, Agent Coulson is still life. You can watch the serial: Agents of Shield. His adventures after The Avengers
35:13, "A for Avengers, A for Addie. Haha." Now that's a good one.
I've read that when Hulk says, "Puny god" after slamming Loki, that was Lou Ferrigno's voice. He played the Hulk in the 70s TV show.
@AddieCounts check out Agents of Shield, to learn about Coulson's Fate. Worth checking out! :)
Way to go Addie! There is SO much more waiting for you on your MCU journey! 😊
Hope you have a wonderful day everyone
The one big flaw with this film were the deleted scenes involving Cap. They show how he was a “man out of time” really well.
still mad they didn't keep those scenes in. it really showed how depressed he was during the events of this movie.
Whoever deleted that two minute scene should be fired. It is a PERFECT scene.
35:30 That "Person" is someone who was quite shocking that he made many people(Including the comic readers who are VERY aware of who he is) in theaters on opening night go "Oh crap...." And in time you will know why.
I remember watching this my senior year of high school. I was getting ready to graduate, this movie was coming out. Life was exciting that summer
Using the word Incredible to describe the Hulk without actually meaning to say Incredible Hulk was pretty bad ass.
There are a ton of great, well-known moments in the film, but one that seems to be under-appreciated is the part where Tony is hamming it up on the bridge of the helicarrier ("How does Fury see these? He turns? Sounds exhausting.") What is great about it is that all the SHIELD agents in there, _including Black Widow,_ are so distracted by his antics that they completely miss him sticking his little hacking bug onto the computer. He totally plays all of them, there is far more to Tony than just his machines.
Also if you like the Avengers, I _strongly_ recommend the cartoon series _Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes_ followed by _Avengers Assemble._
A ... for Addie
B ... for Bruce
C ... for Coulson
In the last scene where they are all eating together, you can see Chris Evens covering his face with his hand. They had to come back and shoot the scene last minute. Evans was filming a movie where he has a beard so that's why he's covering his face.
Glad you got around to this one, and loved the reaction - can probably say that I've never had a more fun experience (or laughed harder) at the cinema than when I watched this movie ten years ago. Regarding your last point about S.H.I.E.L.D., I know it's a fair undertaking, but you should watch the series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., even if you do it concurrently with watching the films - it's seven seasons long, but most MCU fans still regard it as the best Marvel TV series (even with the new ones coming out recently), and I feel like you would fall in love with the show and many of its characters (including one you're already pretty familiar with by now); even better if you decided to film your reactions so that we can watch you fall in love with them. Keen to see more!
Addie: "SHEILD is not really the perfect good guys"...
MCU Fans: "Hmmmm, you don't say...."
10 years ago, I said there was an entire movie in that one exchange: “It’ll be just like Budapest / You and I remember Budapest very differently.”
Now we have the Black Widow movie…
Great reaction! Still one of the best movies in the MCU.
You probably thought Thor's lightning would hurt the Iron Man suit because Whiplash's electricity hurt it in Iron Man 2. Tony upgraded. That's a common theme you'll see in these movies. Tony is always upgrading. 😁
I'm so happy you caught the Legolas reference! 🧝♂🏹😝
I think he calls him Katniss in another movie, right?
His suit is getting cooler with every movie. Sounds about right.
Thor and Hulk will be fine from any punishment throw at them as they’re immensely durable and have a fast-paced healing factor.
One of the "don't think, just go with it" moments, is how the Avengers were able to communicate with each other during the battle on the Helicarrier and during the final battle in the city, since it was never established they had hooked up an internal communication system with each other that enabled Cap Natasha, Clint, and Iron Man to talk with each other. and the whole "central hive" thing has tot to be the second-most used cop out for Hollywood writers who don't want, or can't think of, a way to wrap things up (Right, star wars?). For arguably the most commonly-used crutch, you will have to wait until the end of the Marvel Phase Two narrative.
Cap's uniform had been updated with Coulson's input, Iron Man has full range sensors and communications (even tapped into the Quinjet speakers in Germany), and Natasha and Clint were using SHIELD SOP comms. There is no great mystery.
The central hive aspect was used because of time constraints. Pure and simple.
If it were in the comics, it would set up continuing story arcs with renegades and more. If the television side had worked together more with the movie studio, you could have done expanded story arcs that tied together more like Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter than the series on streaming services beyond NetFlix. [Daredeveil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Punisher were the top 4 of the NetFlix crop.]
Fun fact: when Hulk smashes Loki - they had a rope tied to Loki's ankle, and while Loki was monologging, at a random point pulled his feet out from under him. Hence the shocked look on his face as it happened
20:47 - you just wait for "Thor Ragnarok" for that fight...
you have a long way to go in the MCU - welcome, sister 🤗
I am commenting this on every MCU video you make; Watch Agents of SHIELD!!!!!!!! Edit: I checked the comments and there are so many people requesting this so you should at least make a reaction video for the first episode. Everyone else has overlooked this as part of the MCU, when it is one of the best parts of the MCU. It takes place in the timeline just after the Avengers, so you should start it now!
After Iron Man 3...
Starkism: Loki, using the phallic scepter: "This usually works." Stark: "Oh, performance issues..."
My favorite smart-ass.
Sweet baby Coulson 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
