Tony's bracelets that summon his suit are also an example of a subtle character trait that Tony is constantly learning from failures and improving. Every movie he is in he has 1-2 brand new and improved suits that have some ability or upgrade that is a direct result of a previous failure. It's subtle but shows how much of an engineer-at-heart he is.
The other improvement is that his suit can absorbs electricity\lightning Remember before this movie he fought whiplash which his electric whips damaged his suits
He's so much more badass in the comics too! He gets the killshot on ultron, he was a double agent, he was leader of various groups of avengers throught the time. Plus he's more of a playboy than Tony in them aswell, hooks up with plenty of super chicks 😎 mans a stud! Alota love for Clint 💪
It may have looked a little odd that Captain America was the only character not eating shawarma in the scene, but the simple explanation is that Evans had a massive facial prosthetic in place in order to cover up the beard that he had grown for his role in Snowpiercer.
While, I knew that was why his jaw was covered by his hand, I always assumed by the position of his head turned away that he was just chewing really slowly before picking up the next bite. These guys are exhausted.
Yeah, the shawarma scene was a late addition to the movie. It was filmed and added to the movie right after the movie's New York premiere, before its release to general audiences. So several months had passed since principal photography had wrapped, and Evans had grown out his Snowpiercer beard in that time.
Also the facial prosthetic actually looked really bad because they had to rush so fast, I’ve seen some stills of it and it really did, it looked like his face was swollen. So to take extra percussion they told him to just cover his face and it worked, you can’t even tell. By the way check out Snowpiercer it is really good!
Loki: "There are no men like me." Old Man: "There will *always* be men like you." Supremely underrated line, imo. That scene took place in Germany, iirc, so that man is probably old enough to have firsthand experience with either the Third Reich or the USSR.
Fun fact: Marvel confirmed later that Loki was also being influenced by the Mind Stone housed in his scepter. It's why he was so off the rails and looked like a madman the entire time with the dark hollows under his eyes and the pale skin and sweat. He was ill from the effects of the Mind Stone filling him with too much rage and bloodlust. That's why there were some moments he almost snapped out of it, like with Thor on top of Stark Tower. Also, you wondered what happened to Loki. As Tom Hiddleston (actor) and Joss Whedon (director) said, they came up with a backstory. When Loki fell off the Rainbow Bridge, he basically fell through the cracks in the universe. He bounced around to all the dark back alleys of the universe and learned a lot. It made him harder and tougher and more jaded.
Also, Hulk isn't just triggered by anger. It's any heightened emotional state. Anger, arousal, hyper excitement, fear, panic, pain. All make the Green Guy say hi
@@joshbrosh6626 as the saying goes, Hulk smash The Old Man Logan series he uses his cousin (She Hulk) as a breeder. She's the only one who can survive.
You are becoming one of my favorite reactors! You’re not ashamed to show emotion, and you let everyone know what’s in your thoughts. Too many reactors don’t, well, react!
I can’t wait until you get to Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It’s hands-down one of my top five favorites in the entire series. (Along with Captain America: Civil War, the first Iron Man, and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.)
When I saw this in theaters it blew my mind. At that time no one even knew how big the MCU was going to be and just seeing 4 years of superhero movies build to this was incredible.
Gotta say, I love watching someone rapidly become a new fan. I've been loving these characters since childhood. It's awesome watching others falling in love with stories I've long been familiar with. Give us all the Marvel lol.
The fun part is, you'll be able to say, "That's the best movie I've ever seen!!!", another 4 or 6, maybe even 8, more times before this fairy tale comes to it's mind shattering conclusion. Wrap your goose bumps around THAT.......
I have to give props to Tom Hiddleston. He really brought the character of "Loki" to a real believable character, and then some. I think it takes a special actor to make a 'villian' worth something. Although. the Hulk smashing Loki was one of the best scenes in all of these. that was priceless. Also. And this was shown in a few comix allong the way. Thor's power is equal to the hulk. They are pretty much an even match.
I was so worried when this movie was announced... balancing so many big personalities is no easy task, making sure everyone has their moments, and stays in character through both the action and the downtime... Then I heard that they got Joss Whedon, and as a Buffy fan, I breathed a huge sigh of relief and let myself get excited. The dude may have personal and moral issues, but he knows how to handle ensemble storytelling!!
@@ConnorEllisMusic Nahh, even I can tell that Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon have vastly different directorial styles. Whedon was brought in to complete another man's work; of course it was going to be non-ideal.
I don't know if someone answered his question in the comments yet, Thor mentally questioned if he was still worthy or not during that scene. Ties back to when Odin placed the enchantment on Mjolnir, having Thor learn to be selfless instead of selfish during his banishment. (yes the enchantment is still active, reasoning being why no one else can use it)
I was going to say the same thing, he was questioning himself, he probably felt like he failed, failed Loki, failed in getting the tesseract and that guilt of feeling like he was to blame, I mean Fury said they were making weapons because he came to earth and he and Coulson briefly talk about it as well.
I have always wished that I could rewatch this series again for the first time. Watching this series is as close as I will ever get. I love this so much. This is what I look forward to every Monday.
I was smiling all the way through this reaction. Glad to see your Hawkeye appreciation. Not many give him credit for being such a Bad-Ass that almost took down the SHIELD Helicarrier. FYI: At the scene where the Avengers were all arguing with each other: Cap and Tony were talking about going a few rounds - the camera moves to the Staff making a noise. That staff (under Loki's control) was causing everyone to feel excessive anger. We all know what too much anger does to Bruce Banner.
It's great to see so much Hawkeye & Black Widow appreciation in these reactions lol (10:1416:5529:3532:16). They are 2 of the most interesting & likeable characters from the entire MCU to me, & I wish the Phase One films had done more to showcase that, & help the characters reach their full potential.
So nice and refreshing to watch you get just as excited as I was when I first watched this. I remember watching this movie in high school and losing my MIND over how all my favorite characters from the comics had come together on screen
You just watched Coulson die. If you want to know more about him (literally the best character in the entire MCU) and SHIELD in general….watch Agents of SHIELD. The show doesn’t get enough exposure and it’s well worth the commitment. Phil Coulson is the only one who can bring all the pieces together.
Watched it all this year. It is definitely worth watching. Season 1 is a little slow at the start due to spoiler reasons. But I still enjoyed it. Then it was a roller coaster through the rest of the seasons.
@@jspettifer I watched it on my own and then got my wife to watch it. After season one she was like "Damn that's good", that's where I told her it was the weaker season of all 7 hahaha.
@@Masterbas1 it's funny to me that people say season 1 is the weakest bc season 1 is my honestly my favourite season tbh, if not only for the nostalgia and bittersweetness of it all. i've yet to properly finish the show, so that could change - i've only watched up to about season 4 i think? but season 1 for me is so much fun to go back and rewatch and notice thigns you didn't notice before. it's without all the messiness between certain characters in the later seasons and i think it's the relationships between the characters turning sour did put me off it a bit. season 1 and 2 are my go to rewatch, aha.
@@leilanyx Not saying season 1 is bad, on the contrary, but yeah, my 3 favorites are 7, 5 and 4 by far. It also depends on what you look for in a show, the wife and I are less into Spy shows, more into Sci-fi. This is why we both preferred those 3 seasons. But the show as a whole is one of my top show ever.
Love seeing the love for Hawkeye. Love him but Cap is my favorite character by far. Really love to see him in the fight scenes because he is the one that works the best with everyone. They all work together but with Cap they work as one unit. Like in this movie, Thor and Hulk work together to take down a leviathan, but their mostly doing their own thing. Meanwhile Cap launches Nat, uses his shield to redirect Tony's repulser beams. It's a common thing throughout the movies.
Yes! Him giving out his orders to everyone is one of his most underrated moments! He does it so fast and he quickly knew how to utilize everyone’s strengths! It really showed the soldier in him the most. Everyone immediately followed him, Tony knew he was their leader and he’s the one that tells him to “call it”, really shows his and their relationship growth. Even Hulk listens, he doesn’t do a thing until Cap said “smash”. It’s also the first time that someone encouraged him to smash! A great moment too from earlier was when he first met Bruce, he wasn’t scared, he didn’t judge him and to mean me treated him like a real person who didn’t care about Hulk, it’s actually funny to me that Bruce tells Cap his secret when Cap is one of the few that never asked. Just the many reasons why Cap is my favorite! Lol He really does work off the best with everyone, the only one he doesn’t really work off with his Hulk. In my opinion he works the best with Thor, they work off each other a lot and you can see the respect from them. But it makes sense that they would, they both have scene literal battle and has been part of an army, the others even though they’ve fought haven’t and aren’t use to working as a team.
Throughout the movie, when people are talking to Hulk, they either call him 'Bruce' or 'Banner'. When Cap is doling out orders to everyone, he calls him 'Hulk', which is the first time someone has acknowledged him as a separate entity from Bruce, which Hulk immediately recognizes.
Fun fact, the guy who had Loki inside him is the math professor in Good Will Hunting. 3 of his sons are actors. One in True Blood as the Bad Boy blonde, another is Floki in Vikings, another is the clown in IT, the 4th son works behind the scenes. The mother was an actress, their sister a model
Fun bit of trivia for you: Tony snacking in the lab is a direct result of RDJ. He would often hide snacks on the set to munch on, so they just put it in the film. Also they shot the schwarma scene the day before the film was set to hit theaters.
The best line in this movie is when tony says this: "Loki, he's a full tilt diva. He wants flowers, he wants parades. He wants a monument built in the sky with his name plastered... Son of a bitch" Instant cut to Stark Tower lmao.
Back in 2008 when we watched Iron Man, we talked after the movie about how cool it would be if we could get an Avenger movie, but we dismissed it, because the actors' fees combined would be too expensive. Now 14 years later we have a whole universe, that is more than we ever dreamed of.
I like when Tom Hiddleston (Loki) watched the first Iron Man movie inn the cinema and thought to himself that he would never get the chance to ever be in a Superhero movie. 😆
This movie is probably the best movie ever made. Not only does it combine a whole bunch of characters and plot lines, but the pacing is absolutely incredibly! Boredom is absolutely impossible.
One thing to keep an eye out for is how when the other guy is out, he doesn't respond to Bruce or Banner and only to Hulk or The Hulk, just something subtle that eventually pays off in Endgame.
I saw this movie 5 times opening weekend back in the day. I've never seen another movie that many times in theaters since. I never get tired of this movie. Can't wait to watch the ride of the MCU with you!
I've always been the guy who's holding back tears during movies in the theatre.. but this movie broke that streak, I was just so enthralled to see everything come together, see my childhood heroes and dreams come true.. very manly tears were shed xD
I just love your reactions and was so happy when you decided to do these!!! Watching you react to these just reminds me how excited I was when I first saw them. Just makes me so damn happy!! Can't wait for you to see the rest!
I love living vicariously through someone else and watching them be so moved by this MATER-PIECE!! Thank you sm for reacting I watched this movie probably over 30 times when it first came out..😅
I just watched this movie again last week. For the....billionth time? lol I know every word. It's really interesting watching when you know so much more hahaha. And I can't even elaborate on that in case you see this because I refuse to spoil anything in any way. Also, I love watching people eventually grow to at least understand Loki. Loki has actually been one of my favorites from the very beginning, but I am prone to loving the anti-heroes and "villains". However, I love like...all the heroes, too. So difficult to pick a favorite. I do have them, though. I have a list of my top 20 favorite Marvel characters.
I don’t get how people say phase 1 is the “bad” movies. It’s by faaaar the best imo. Best intro (IM1), and best climax (Avengers). It’s also wayyy easier to follow. And the quality of the movies is also better
“They need something to what??!” They needed the push. “What does that mean?” Ah Alex you sweet summer child. They’re called The Avengers, this was the movies subtle way of saying they needed something to avenge Also from what I’ve seen Thor not being able to pick up his hammer for a bit was the result of him thinking himself to be unworthy. The hammer obviously knew he was but his own self doubt clouded his mind so he couldn’t Force grab it like he usually does (this, along with many lines throughout this movie come back into play later 😉) “I’m always angry” and that Alex is the pay off to that scene at the end of The Hulk movie where Banner was meditating and suddenly opened his green eyes and smiled. He’s slowly learning to control it “Who is that?” That my dear boy is the one and only Mad Titan, Thanos. The line the Chittauri dude said beforehand was a cheeky reference since in the comics Thanos does attempt to date (court) Lady Death
It was just about 4 hours ago when UA-cam recommended your Capt. America reaction (I saw a bunch of your music reactions many moons ago) and I checked that out along with Tropic Thunder and Iron Man. So I wasn't expecting to see this one so soon. I'm buckling up to see you enjoy this one.
Winter Soldier is the next movie I'm most excited for you to see! There's some great movies along the way to that one but Winter Soldier is something special!
@@sanjeevmishra1175 no no he knows he was just pointing out his excitement for when he does get to The Winter Soldier after Iron Man 3 and Thor The Dark World
Winter soldier is the best. The pacing , action, mystery, character arc, and timing are just too spot on. I believe the Russo brothers first film in marvel. Civil war is epic but sometimes I wish it had the same pacing as winter soldier….
@@Dustinjlarson i did love Civil War but yea i agree, and i do absolutely love The Winter Soldier but i’m excited for his reaction because of what’s to come…😁
Trivia: When Banner said Loki was crazy...You can smell crazy on him. They were planning on having Hulk sniff the air when confronting Loki. Loki was going to use his illusionary self, but when Hulk sniffs the air, he finds the real Loki and then rag-dolls him. They didn't do that because they didn't think the audience would understand the Hulk being able to smell anything, let alone craziness.
Seeing your excitement as they all start to interact and then fight together really takes me back before I got superhero fatigue. Watching it in the theater, you could feel the excitement and I'm sure the whole audience was grinning from ear to ear - just FUN!
Don't feel bad about "suffering" through the "bad" Marvel movies. As you complete your journey, you will find that the entire MCU is like one giant book, and everything you watch is adding to the overall experience. It really does unfold more like a book than a series of sequels.
28:43 Reaction was brilliant! Your eyes darting around the scene, drinking it all in, smiling from ear to ear, the whoops and cheers ❤ THIS is the power of cinema ❤ Pure joy! Big love from Manchester UK xXx
Glad you liked it as much as you did. Great reaction. I've always said the Avengers movies (plus Captain America: Civil War, since it's basically the Avengers 2.5) are the best MCU movies because they bring together all the heroes, so they're better and more exciting than the stand alone hero movies. You got your first look at Thanos and got the fun shawarma scene. They filmed that as an after thought after the movie was done filming and had been for a long time. They had to wait for the actors to all come back to the New York prescreening from their respective other projects and ask if they would use some of their own free time after the screening that evening to re-costume up and go to a small restaurant to shoot that scene. It was a great addition.
I highly recommend checking out the TV show Agents of SHIELD, especially if you like Coulson. The first season doesn’t start out very well but it gets great by the last third of the first season and the rest of the show is amazing! It’s seriously some of the best television I have ever seen! Season 4 in particular is probably my favourite season of any show ever. And the vast majority of the show is incredible!
You MUST watch Agents of Shield now!! for awhile it follows closely alongside the movie's and its incredibly important to understand a LOT of the background/side stories. It's one of my favorite shows
I love AoS myself, but as it’s not currently canon, it’s a side quest at best. It actually confuses a few things that are very important later on and ties into the Inhumans too much for the current MCU. And that’s without even touching on the time travel elements. If Feige likes the character, they might be back doored in the way a certain someone was in a recent film, but it’s really on a case by case basis. It might be said that AoS Coulson is a variant of our Coulson. ‘Nuff said.
@@Saje3D way I see it, it's just a different universe in the grand calculus of the multiverse, one that as far as we knew happened the same as the MCU but then diverted at what I assume to be Coulson's "death" from there, similar things unfold but it changes along the way, hence why they introduced Inhumans but never referenced them or any of the greater AoS plot points in the films
@@Saje3D If it is a variant universe then it forks at the avengers. In my opinion It is essential viewing as it is so good but it is too long to interweave into the movies
I love this show and I’ll defend it to the end of the MCU as the best show (or one of the best) they made, and I think it’s canon because of a spoiler I cannot say. Let’s just say it exists in a different branch of reality that was created in one of the other shows…hopefully I was vague enough with that.
Hawkeye is definitely insanely badass. and it was such a joy watching you experience this movie for the first time! this movie, having been made in 2012, still holds up with the CGI and storyline and acting. you gotta keep going!
Alex, I love your enthusiasm!! I saw this movie at the theatres and there were several times the audience went bonkers, especially when the post credit scene appeared and showed the big guy. Folks were shocked to their core!!!! They were saying, How? Anyway, great job. I look forward to several more, man!
For all the amazing insanity that follows, THIS remains my favorite Marvel movie. Whatever his faults, nobody handles an ensemble like Jos Whedon. SO balanced and SO awesome!!! 💪🤨👍
3:50 Remember at the end of Thor that Loki appeared in the reflection with the scientist? Loki has a knack for survival, he is a magic man after all. 👍
Yeah, I was surprised when this dude exclaimed "Loki? But I thought he had died?" Maybe he didn't catch the end credits. Some reactors miss them out (real movie fans don't!)
This was the first movie I went to see with my now wife when we were sr’s in high school. We went to see avengers endgame 6 weeks after our first kid was born. I love these movies
The Avengers is awesome. In the grand scheme of the MCU, you haven’t seen ANYTHING yet! Don’t forget to do the Disney+ shows when you get there! Looking forward to seeing your journey continue.
@@feardabrood you know as much as i love the others after this and how good the avengers IW and EG are this one might be the best it started everything and is amazing when watched and just hits a bit different than the later ones
Alex saying "This is the moment I've waited for, for so long, to see them all together". Meanwhile people who've been watching since 2008 waiting till 2012 to see this "Is this some sort of joke?"
I just started watching Loki and this was a great video to watch and catchup on where I was on the timeline. Amazing reaction, looking forward to watching more of your videos.
“And hulk”-Steve Rogers *hulk turns as if to say “yeah”* “Smash”-Steve *smiles as if to say ok and jumps off like a giant hyper 5 year old let loose in a candy store*
Pay attention to Loki's eyes: there are blue almost the entire movie instead of green in all his other MCU appearances. Pay attention to his movements and physique, the are different when he arrives than later, even after the Smash. Pay attention to his divergent character style during this compared to all different MCU appearances. He usually is thoughtful and acting more covertly. This plan to take over earth is completely thoughtless and random, unlike Loki, .... Unless Loki wanted to loose. It has been officially stated by the movie makers in interviews and clearly hinted at in the entirety of the MCU that Loki was not acting in his free will, but rather under duress (meaning torture) and mind-control throughout The Avengers. His suicide attempt at the end of Thor was a real suicide attempt, not faking death.
This was awesome on first viewing in the theater and holds up well to rewatching. I would like to recommend the TV series, "Firefly," created by Joss Whedon, director of "The Avengers," and its follow-up movie, "Serenity," that he directed before this.
Another great reaction. Love how excited you get watching these. As for fav characters, for me, it kinda depends on the last movie I watch haha. The movies going forward really do just keep getting better. Can't wait for your next MCU reaction.
This reaction reminds me why I love the MCU so damn much! I love The Avengers, it will forever stay in my Top 10! Phase 1 isn’t the bad movies either, they’re amazing intros that create a beautiful ongoing story throughout each phase of the mcu! Cannot wait for phase 2 to begin, really looking forward to Iron Man 3, The Winter Soldier, GOTG, Age of Ultron & Ant-Man! Btw SpongeBob The Movie was a slapper!!! 🔥
Fun fact: in the Shwarma scene at the end, the reason Captain America is hiding his face, is bc he was wearing a fake jaw to cover the beard he grew for the next movie he shot after Avengers, Snowpiercer.
I've just discovered your channel and i have to say, the amount of sheer enjoyment i get out of watching you get excited about movies I love is unmatched. Good stuff!!!!
It’s funny when someone who waits weeks, says, “I’ve waited so long for this moment right here”, when the rest of us waited YEARS!! 😆

I have always wished that I could rewatch this series again for the first time. Watching this series is as close as I will ever get. I love this so much. This is what I look forward to every Monday.
I was smiling all the way through this reaction. Glad to see your Hawkeye appreciation. Not many give him credit for being such a Bad-Ass that almost took down the SHIELD Helicarrier.
FYI: At the scene where the Avengers were all arguing with each other: Cap and Tony were talking about going a few rounds - the camera moves to the Staff making a noise. That staff (under Loki's control) was causing everyone to feel excessive anger. We all know what too much anger does to Bruce Banner.
The staff contained the Mind Stone
@@colleenross8752 You really should write ["Avengers: Age Of Ultron" SPOILER] first as a courtesy for viewers who has yet to see that movie.
I love when people respect Hawkeye
Agent Coulson actually gets brought back to life. Agents of shield. Thank god too because Coulson was great.
I remember how much I was losing my mind watching it for the first time so it’s a treat to always see someone else enjoy this. Much love my dude
It's great to see so much Hawkeye & Black Widow appreciation in these reactions lol (10:14 16:55 29:35 32:16). They are 2 of the most interesting & likeable characters from the entire MCU to me, & I wish the Phase One films had done more to showcase that, & help the characters reach their full potential.
So nice and refreshing to watch you get just as excited as I was when I first watched this. I remember watching this movie in high school and losing my MIND over how all my favorite characters from the comics had come together on screen
22:46 _"I hope he lives"_ He did, in his own show, that was mostly ignored by the MCU after that. Poor Coulson.
tahiti is nice this time of year
You just watched Coulson die. If you want to know more about him (literally the best character in the entire MCU) and SHIELD in general….watch Agents of SHIELD. The show doesn’t get enough exposure and it’s well worth the commitment. Phil Coulson is the only one who can bring all the pieces together.
Watched it all this year. It is definitely worth watching.
Season 1 is a little slow at the start due to spoiler reasons. But I still enjoyed it.
Then it was a roller coaster through the rest of the seasons.
@@jspettifer I watched it on my own and then got my wife to watch it. After season one she was like "Damn that's good", that's where I told her it was the weaker season of all 7 hahaha.
Commenting just to say that I agree with everyone here lol. It’s so worth it.
@@Masterbas1 it's funny to me that people say season 1 is the weakest bc season 1 is my honestly my favourite season tbh, if not only for the nostalgia and bittersweetness of it all. i've yet to properly finish the show, so that could change - i've only watched up to about season 4 i think? but season 1 for me is so much fun to go back and rewatch and notice thigns you didn't notice before. it's without all the messiness between certain characters in the later seasons and i think it's the relationships between the characters turning sour did put me off it a bit. season 1 and 2 are my go to rewatch, aha.
@@leilanyx Not saying season 1 is bad, on the contrary, but yeah, my 3 favorites are 7, 5 and 4 by far. It also depends on what you look for in a show, the wife and I are less into Spy shows, more into Sci-fi. This is why we both preferred those 3 seasons. But the show as a whole is one of my top show ever.
Love seeing the love for Hawkeye. Love him but Cap is my favorite character by far. Really love to see him in the fight scenes because he is the one that works the best with everyone. They all work together but with Cap they work as one unit. Like in this movie, Thor and Hulk work together to take down a leviathan, but their mostly doing their own thing. Meanwhile Cap launches Nat, uses his shield to redirect Tony's repulser beams. It's a common thing throughout the movies.
Yes! Him giving out his orders to everyone is one of his most underrated moments! He does it so fast and he quickly knew how to utilize everyone’s strengths! It really showed the soldier in him the most. Everyone immediately followed him, Tony knew he was their leader and he’s the one that tells him to “call it”, really shows his and their relationship growth. Even Hulk listens, he doesn’t do a thing until Cap said “smash”. It’s also the first time that someone encouraged him to smash! A great moment too from earlier was when he first met Bruce, he wasn’t scared, he didn’t judge him and to mean me treated him like a real person who didn’t care about Hulk, it’s actually funny to me that Bruce tells Cap his secret when Cap is one of the few that never asked. Just the many reasons why Cap is my favorite! Lol
He really does work off the best with everyone, the only one he doesn’t really work off with his Hulk. In my opinion he works the best with Thor, they work off each other a lot and you can see the respect from them. But it makes sense that they would, they both have scene literal battle and has been part of an army, the others even though they’ve fought haven’t and aren’t use to working as a team.
Throughout the movie, when people are talking to Hulk, they either call him 'Bruce' or 'Banner'. When Cap is doling out orders to everyone, he calls him 'Hulk', which is the first time someone has acknowledged him as a separate entity from Bruce, which Hulk immediately recognizes.
Fun fact, the guy who had Loki inside him is the math professor in Good Will Hunting. 3 of his sons are actors. One in True Blood as the Bad Boy blonde, another is Floki in Vikings, another is the clown in IT, the 4th son works behind the scenes. The mother was an actress, their sister a model
Fun bit of trivia for you: Tony snacking in the lab is a direct result of RDJ. He would often hide snacks on the set to munch on, so they just put it in the film.
Also they shot the schwarma scene the day before the film was set to hit theaters.
In the schwarma scene, Cap covers his beard because he needed the beard for another project filming at the same time.
How is it possible that Tony, who has travelled around the world, including to the Middle East, has never had shawarma?
@@PhilBagels Because he didn't eat it when he went there? Have you had every type of food from your country?
I hear Tahiti’s nice this time of year.
It's a magical place
It's a magical place
Loki: I have an Army.
Tony: We have a HEFNER! ✌😅
The best line in this movie is when tony says this:
"Loki, he's a full tilt diva. He wants flowers, he wants parades. He wants a monument built in the sky with his name plastered... Son of a bitch"
Instant cut to Stark Tower lmao.
Back in 2008 when we watched Iron Man, we talked after the movie about how cool it would be if we could get an Avenger movie, but we dismissed it, because the actors' fees combined would be too expensive. Now 14 years later we have a whole universe, that is more than we ever dreamed of.
I like when Tom Hiddleston (Loki) watched the first Iron Man movie inn the cinema and thought to himself that he would never get the chance to ever be in a Superhero movie. 😆
This movie is probably the best movie ever made.
Not only does it combine a whole bunch of characters and plot lines, but the pacing is absolutely incredibly! Boredom is absolutely impossible.
I'd argue that the 3rd and 4th Avengers movies give it good stiff competition, as does The Dark Knight, but yeah... utterly superb.
@@sandwiched Endgame was trash. Infinity War is fantastic though.
“Way to talk shit to the strongest Avenger.”
Thor: …and I took that personally.
One thing to keep an eye out for is how when the other guy is out, he doesn't respond to Bruce or Banner and only to Hulk or The Hulk, just something subtle that eventually pays off in Endgame.
“Big Guy” is acceptable to the Hulk as well 😁
@@cheshirekat528 just generally any name that distinguishes him from Banner, he hates being confused with Banner
Goosebumps everytime I see them together. The best team up in movie history.
I’m loving watching fall in love with these characters! The journey to Infinity War and Endgame is pretty damn epic.
the scene with loki and black widow were she’s pretending to cry just shows how amazing an actress scarlet is and amazing an actor tom is.
Love the fact you like Hawkeye so much. Most people don't appreciate him enough
He's the grounded anchor of the group
I saw this movie 5 times opening weekend back in the day. I've never seen another movie that many times in theaters since. I never get tired of this movie. Can't wait to watch the ride of the MCU with you!
I've always been the guy who's holding back tears during movies in the theatre.. but this movie broke that streak, I was just so enthralled to see everything come together, see my childhood heroes and dreams come true.. very manly tears were shed xD
I love the contagious enthusiasm! It’s like I’m actually seeing it through Alex’s eyes. Makes me feel like a kid again.
YES!! Prepare for more smiles!! I remember having the same happiness and excitement watching this, I’m pumped for you to keep going man!!
I just love your reactions and was so happy when you decided to do these!!! Watching you react to these just reminds me how excited I was when I first saw them. Just makes me so damn happy!! Can't wait for you to see the rest!
I love living vicariously through someone else and watching them be so moved by this MATER-PIECE!! Thank you sm for reacting I watched this movie probably over 30 times when it first came out..😅
I just watched this movie again last week. For the....billionth time? lol I know every word. It's really interesting watching when you know so much more hahaha. And I can't even elaborate on that in case you see this because I refuse to spoil anything in any way. Also, I love watching people eventually grow to at least understand Loki. Loki has actually been one of my favorites from the very beginning, but I am prone to loving the anti-heroes and "villains". However, I love like...all the heroes, too. So difficult to pick a favorite. I do have them, though. I have a list of my top 20 favorite Marvel characters.
I don’t get how people say phase 1 is the “bad” movies. It’s by faaaar the best imo. Best intro (IM1), and best climax (Avengers). It’s also wayyy easier to follow. And the quality of the movies is also better
Up until Infinity War, this was the greatest movie theater experience I ever had
Loki smiles like that because he's the God of Mischief
“They need something to what??!”
They needed the push. “What does that mean?”
Ah Alex you sweet summer child. They’re called The Avengers, this was the movies subtle way of saying they needed something to avenge
Also from what I’ve seen Thor not being able to pick up his hammer for a bit was the result of him thinking himself to be unworthy. The hammer obviously knew he was but his own self doubt clouded his mind so he couldn’t Force grab it like he usually does (this, along with many lines throughout this movie come back into play later 😉)
“I’m always angry” and that Alex is the pay off to that scene at the end of The Hulk movie where Banner was meditating and suddenly opened his green eyes and smiled. He’s slowly learning to control it
“Who is that?” That my dear boy is the one and only Mad Titan, Thanos. The line the Chittauri dude said beforehand was a cheeky reference since in the comics Thanos does attempt to date (court) Lady Death
Hulk's "Saitama" on the first leviathan and rag-dolling Loki, always bring a smile to my face.
It´s been more than 10 years since I first saw this movie as a kid in the cinema. What a fun and amazing ride!
duuude reliving the phase 1 hype by your reactions is just *chef's kiss*
It was just about 4 hours ago when UA-cam recommended your Capt. America reaction (I saw a bunch of your music reactions many moons ago) and I checked that out along with Tropic Thunder and Iron Man. So I wasn't expecting to see this one so soon. I'm buckling up to see you enjoy this one.
NATASHA is the best!
And Tony, of course! 💚🤗💚
Too bad there is a movie where they both die…
Winter Soldier is the next movie I'm most excited for you to see! There's some great movies along the way to that one but Winter Soldier is something special!
No it's RDJ 3
@@sanjeevmishra1175 no no he knows he was just pointing out his excitement for when he does get to The Winter Soldier after Iron Man 3 and Thor The Dark World
@@AkaiAkuma_ lol thank you
Winter soldier is the best. The pacing , action, mystery, character arc, and timing are just too spot on. I believe the Russo brothers first film in marvel. Civil war is epic but sometimes I wish it had the same pacing as winter soldier….
@@Dustinjlarson i did love Civil War but yea i agree, and i do absolutely love The Winter Soldier but i’m excited for his reaction because of what’s to come…😁
Remember this face-to-face scene with Cap and Tony. It's very important for their arcs.
Trivia: When Banner said Loki was crazy...You can smell crazy on him. They were planning on having Hulk sniff the air when confronting Loki. Loki was going to use his illusionary self, but when Hulk sniffs the air, he finds the real Loki and then rag-dolls him. They didn't do that because they didn't think the audience would understand the Hulk being able to smell anything, let alone craziness.
The vibes you are feeling are EXACTLY what we comic fans felt. This is the big time!! Loved seeing you watch it. It was the coolest!!!
Dude if you thought this was the best, I can’t wait to see the rest of the journey. Love your reactions man!
Seeing your excitement as they all start to interact and then fight together really takes me back before I got superhero fatigue. Watching it in the theater, you could feel the excitement and I'm sure the whole audience was grinning from ear to ear - just FUN!
In all the avenger films they end up fighting each other
I love this watching you so pumped up for this. I love it here
Don't feel bad about "suffering" through the "bad" Marvel movies. As you complete your journey, you will find that the entire MCU is like one giant book, and everything you watch is adding to the overall experience. It really does unfold more like a book than a series of sequels.
28:43 Reaction was brilliant! Your eyes darting around the scene, drinking it all in, smiling from ear to ear, the whoops and cheers ❤ THIS is the power of cinema ❤ Pure joy! Big love from Manchester UK xXx
Glad you liked it as much as you did. Great reaction. I've always said the Avengers movies (plus Captain America: Civil War, since it's basically the Avengers 2.5) are the best MCU movies because they bring together all the heroes, so they're better and more exciting than the stand alone hero movies. You got your first look at Thanos and got the fun shawarma scene. They filmed that as an after thought after the movie was done filming and had been for a long time. They had to wait for the actors to all come back to the New York prescreening from their respective other projects and ask if they would use some of their own free time after the screening that evening to re-costume up and go to a small restaurant to shoot that scene. It was a great addition.
This is still my favourite mcu movie it's just so awesome!!! Loving watching your mcu journey x
I highly recommend checking out the TV show Agents of SHIELD, especially if you like Coulson. The first season doesn’t start out very well but it gets great by the last third of the first season and the rest of the show is amazing! It’s seriously some of the best television I have ever seen! Season 4 in particular is probably my favourite season of any show ever. And the vast majority of the show is incredible!
Commenting to agree and bring attention to this 😅
This is one of the few movies I own I'm 3D, and never tire of watching. The interplay is priceless.
See it in 3D if you get the chance!
You MUST watch Agents of Shield now!! for awhile it follows closely alongside the movie's and its incredibly important to understand a LOT of the background/side stories. It's one of my favorite shows
I love AoS myself, but as it’s not currently canon, it’s a side quest at best. It actually confuses a few things that are very important later on and ties into the Inhumans too much for the current MCU. And that’s without even touching on the time travel elements.
If Feige likes the character, they might be back doored in the way a certain someone was in a recent film, but it’s really on a case by case basis. It might be said that AoS Coulson is a variant of our Coulson.
‘Nuff said.
@@Saje3D way I see it, it's just a different universe in the grand calculus of the multiverse, one that as far as we knew happened the same as the MCU but then diverted at what I assume to be Coulson's "death" from there, similar things unfold but it changes along the way, hence why they introduced Inhumans but never referenced them or any of the greater AoS plot points in the films
@@Saje3D If it is a variant universe then it forks at the avengers.
In my opinion It is essential viewing as it is so good but it is too long to interweave into the movies
I love this show and I’ll defend it to the end of the MCU as the best show (or one of the best) they made, and I think it’s canon because of a spoiler I cannot say. Let’s just say it exists in a different branch of reality that was created in one of the other shows…hopefully I was vague enough with that.
i love that you actually show us your goosebumps
haha thanks for watching!
Hawkeye is definitely insanely badass. and it was such a joy watching you experience this movie for the first time! this movie, having been made in 2012, still holds up with the CGI and storyline and acting. you gotta keep going!
Alex, I love your enthusiasm!! I saw this movie at the theatres and there were several times the audience went bonkers, especially when the post credit scene appeared and showed the big guy. Folks were shocked to their core!!!! They were saying, How? Anyway, great job. I look forward to several more, man!
For all the amazing insanity that follows, THIS remains my favorite Marvel movie. Whatever his faults, nobody handles an ensemble like Jos Whedon. SO balanced and SO awesome!!! 💪🤨👍
3:50
Remember at the end of Thor that Loki appeared in the reflection with the scientist? Loki has a knack for survival, he is a magic man after all. 👍
Yeah, I was surprised when this dude exclaimed "Loki? But I thought he had died?" Maybe he didn't catch the end credits. Some reactors miss them out (real movie fans don't!)
@@mikelarsen5836 No, he saw it. He just forgot.
Was waiting for this whole day. It is 20:55 here (8:55 pm)
This was the first movie I went to see with my now wife when we were sr’s in high school. We went to see avengers endgame 6 weeks after our first kid was born. I love these movies
The Avengers is awesome. In the grand scheme of the MCU, you haven’t seen ANYTHING yet!
Don’t forget to do the Disney+ shows when you get there! Looking forward to seeing your journey continue.
Agreed, you have finally got to the tip of the iceberg. This movie will seem just above average after a while when you see the next bunch.
I have just finished Loki. I need Falcon, Wandavision and Hawkeye ASAP 😆😆😆
@@rubenromero7964 wandavision was awesome, it's my favorite so far. I haven't watched a couple of the shows yet though.
@@feardabrood you know as much as i love the others after this and how good the avengers IW and EG are this one might be the best it started everything and is amazing when watched and just hits a bit different than the later ones
It is the best film adaptation of a comic book, according to a friend of mine.
Alex saying "This is the moment I've waited for, for so long, to see them all together". Meanwhile people who've been watching since 2008 waiting till 2012 to see this "Is this some sort of joke?"
Lol literally.
I just started watching Loki and this was a great video to watch and catchup on where I was on the timeline. Amazing reaction, looking forward to watching more of your videos.
“And hulk”-Steve Rogers
*hulk turns as if to say “yeah”*
“Smash”-Steve
*smiles as if to say ok and jumps off like a giant hyper 5 year old let loose in a candy store*
I’ve seen this movie so many times but when it shows them all stood together ready to fight, gives me goosebumps every time.
The last avengers is incredible. But nothing compares seeing these guys together for the first time
Nah endgame better
Had many choices of what to watch...chose YOU...very entertaining
Be warned:
YOU. ARE. NOT. READY. FOR. THANOS!
Great reaction to a perfect movie. It gets better
Pay attention to Loki's eyes: there are blue almost the entire movie instead of green in all his other MCU appearances. Pay attention to his movements and physique, the are different when he arrives than later, even after the Smash. Pay attention to his divergent character style during this compared to all different MCU appearances. He usually is thoughtful and acting more covertly. This plan to take over earth is completely thoughtless and random, unlike Loki, .... Unless Loki wanted to loose.
It has been officially stated by the movie makers in interviews and clearly hinted at in the entirety of the MCU that Loki was not acting in his free will, but rather under duress (meaning torture) and mind-control throughout The Avengers. His suicide attempt at the end of Thor was a real suicide attempt, not faking death.
This was awesome on first viewing in the theater and holds up well to rewatching. I would like to recommend the TV series, "Firefly," created by Joss Whedon, director of "The Avengers," and its follow-up movie, "Serenity," that he directed before this.
If Alex hasn’t seen Firefly, I think he’d really like it.
Another great reaction. Love how excited you get watching these. As for fav characters, for me, it kinda depends on the last movie I watch haha. The movies going forward really do just keep getting better. Can't wait for your next MCU reaction.
This reaction reminds me why I love the MCU so damn much! I love The Avengers, it will forever stay in my Top 10! Phase 1 isn’t the bad movies either, they’re amazing intros that create a beautiful ongoing story throughout each phase of the mcu! Cannot wait for phase 2 to begin, really looking forward to Iron Man 3, The Winter Soldier, GOTG, Age of Ultron & Ant-Man! Btw SpongeBob The Movie was a slapper!!! 🔥
The Avengers is one of my favorite Marvel movies, it's just satisfying ass kicking from beginning to end!
Sick of Loki? Dude will come to learn that Loki is one of the very best characters in the whole MCU!
And he actually thinks Iron Man could beat Thor? 🤣😂🤣
Fun fact: in the Shwarma scene at the end, the reason Captain America is hiding his face, is bc he was wearing a fake jaw to cover the beard he grew for the next movie he shot after Avengers, Snowpiercer.
Amazing reaction once again!! It’s very exciting watching these, you’ll gonna love Phase 2 cause part 2 gets much darker
I've just discovered your channel and i have to say, the amount of sheer enjoyment i get out of watching you get excited about movies I love is unmatched. Good stuff!!!!
