Banner: But why me and why Sesame Street?
Coulson: Well, they are colorful creatures. You know… like… the Other Guy.
This fandom is so brilliant
“If you don’t put your arms down, you’re gonna lose ‘em. Hawkeye’s with me.”
The Avengers movie did not deliver the Hulkeye but I don’t care, I’ve still got Earth’s Mightiest Heroes
Yes hell yes
“You know I do!”

Let me guess. You thought I’d be bigger?
This show and its love for shipping Clint/Bruce and Clint/Hulk is wonderful
You can tell how Tony realises it it was in fact a bad choice, Thor though enjoys such delightful food. Bruce seems happy to just be eating anything post Hulk out.

If I beg Marvel enough do you think they could do a Black Widow/Hawkeye movie with lots of flashbacks because damn I love all the teases and hints we get of their past in the Avengers. Also hotness.
Man I love Hawkeye
Hawkeye was even more badass than I imagined and I imagined a lot of badassery
The Avengers was everything I needed and wanted it to be, everything I hoped for in such an ambitious project.
“There was an idea…” – Nick Fury
I didn’t grow up with comics like some and I would say that the DC superheroes always had more of an impact in my life simply because they were around more from the Adam West Batman TV Series to the Christopher Reeves Superman movies and then the great work done by directors like Burton, Nolan and Raimi.
Yet still the earliest superheroes I actually remember came in the form of Captain America and Thor. When I was only four I would sneak down every Saturday morning at 6am and watch the 1960s cartoon series. Then of course I knew the Hulk because of the brilliant Bill Bixby show. Yet until Iron Man hit the screens in 2008 I was kind of oblivious to the greater world of Marvel. I loved the hell out of that movie though and its sequel (which I think improves on repeated viewing); I also enjoyed a lot of what The Incredible Hulk had to offer.
When the moment came at Comic Con 2010 and The Avengers was officially announced even though I had no idea who Hawkeye was and only knew of Black Widow through her underwritten but badass performance in Iron Man 2 I was intrigued and ecstatic for this movie because Joss Whedon was directing.
Whedon had won me over to his wonderful world of storytelling in the late 90s from the moment Buffy staked vampire and made a witty remark. I would continue to follow and adore his work and like many fans mourn the untimely loss of his shows.
More than anything I wanted The Avengers to work for Joss. I wanted the story of a God, Super solider, billionaire playboy, angry troubled scientist and some damn awesome spies to be a huge success not just commercially but critically and on a storytelling level.
With great relief and happiness and the kind of joy which can be rare in these days I can say without a doubt The Avengers achieved this.
Some spoilers from here on (nothing major)
this mortal game is unfair!
