Hi everyone! The Avengers was amazing! I can't believe I am finished with Phase 1 of the MCU. This was such a fun ride and I can't wait to see what adventures are to come in Phase 2! Also, thanks for being patient with this upload. I tried to get it posted earlier today but ran into some issues and you have all been so sweet about it! You are the most amazing community and I am so grateful to get to bond with you over incredible films. ❤
Another great reaction. You’re quite perceptive. Some of your thought processes are pretty much like premonitions, but we can’t say which ones. Needless to say that if you’ve enjoyed the ride so far you’ve definitely got some enjoyable movies in the rest of this saga.
I'd love a way to be able to help you answer any questions you have. Sometimes, knowing someone who knows the movies well enough, and knowing what to tell you, and more importantly, know what not to tell you, will help you enjoy the next movies.
(Remember, we would have months, or so between movies, so we would obsess in between movies)
Enjoy, you're in for a heck of a ride!!
_"Is she a super soldier or just really good at fighting?"_
Regular human, but in the comics Natasha is one of the greatest martial artists & fighters on the planet.
Throughout most of the character's run in the 1970s through to the early 2000s she's been portrayed as having a skill level exceeding a number of excellent hand 2 hand fighters like the Punisher, Daredevil & Hawkeye.
There are only a small handful of characters in the entire Marvel universe that are on par with her in terms of skill (Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Fist, etc.)
However her lack of any superhuman abilities puts an upper limit on her effectiveness.
We should also note films don't adhere strictly to the comics.
_"Did the hammer not want to hurt Cap?"_
Cap's shield is made of Vibranium. A rare metal which has certain energy conversion properties.
Avengers movies get progressively longer as the series continues. Many reactors will break them up into two or even 3 parts for YT release, which seems to help with videos being taken down or blocked.
Some reactors will release the 2nd part within an hour, others will wait as long as a month. If you do decide to split them up that way, please try to mention in the description when the 2nd part will be released; it really helps to know when to expect it.
The 3rd avengers movie (infinity war) is my personal favorite movie of the entire series. I won't ruin any of them, merely giving my opinion. The big boss ( I won't tell you his name because that would ruin a little of the fun) didn't care about earth. He just helped loki for the tesseract and in exchange loki gets earth.
"Not to men like you." "There are no men like me." "There are always men like you." After all these years, that's still one of my favorite moments of the entire MCU
Agreed...... such a great moment :)
Agreed, but if the mcu included Daredevil's series as canon then the finale is the best moment😂😢
But then you remember that Loki isn't a man... and all the meaning to that statement fizzles into dust...
I always find that dumb, he is not a men, but they always trying to humanize characters.
@@DJZ64X Whether the definition of Marvel's Asgardians is mythic gods, or aliens, they've always been human in their emotions, and their flaws. Loki's race is alien, but he's very much a man, for better and for worse.
A detail I always liked (during the helicarrier battle) is that even though they were at each other's throats a few minutes before, Tony doesn't show any exasperation with Steve for not hitting the rotor release lever right away. It's as though he knew that the only reason Steve wouldn't hit the lever is because he's in trouble. That's serious trust for a guy you just met and don't get along with.
What a great observation!
Especially when you keep in mind that Steve and, Tony are Frenemies at best
Tony didn't know him too well personally but he was well briefed about him. He knew enough about him.
I never recognized that. Thank you!
@texturas75......I doubt Tony would have needed to be briefed on Steve. Howard likely told Tony all about him. That could also be a reason Tony doesn't get along with Rodgers at first. It's possible he's a little jealous of the relationship Howard had with Steve?
"There are always men like you." Is one of the greatest Marvel lines EVER and so few reactors include it. Thank you!
One can make a case that the old man is the most courageous character we've seen in the MCU to date. No powers, every reason to think he's about to die, yet he stands up and delivers a verbal smack-down that should have the rest of the crowd feeling shameful for having kneeled in the first place.
Which, given that he knows he's about to die, was probably the old man's intent. The greatest generation indeed.
Agreed! It is such a great line ❤
@@SYLTales the random technician from Winter Soldier who also refuses to do something under obvious threat of death is right up there, too.
I always thought he was in the war as a young man. In fact I've wondered if he's a Holocaust survivor. They're the last to kneel to a new dictator.
@@reactswithjax wait till ya see all 7 Seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. starting with Episode 1 of Season 1!
"That actor" that was so familiar was Harry Dean Stanton. A legendary character actor. I love that he asks Bruce Banner if he's an alien, because Harry Dean was in the movie "Alien." He passed in 2017 after appearing in over 50 films. RIP Harry Dean.
“Life of a repo man is ALWAYS intense.”
So love Repo Man. Thanks for the shout out. This HDS role totally brings me back to that film. @@jonathanroberts8981
One of my favorite moments was when he was in The Green Mile and there were two characters whose names, put together, were his. Harry and Dean Stanton.
I have always felt that the "there are always men like you" scene is underappreciated. It just perfectly symbolizes the nature of heroes and villains in the marvel universe. All you need to be a hero is be willing to stand up to a strangely-dressed alien who sounds like he's from england.
"All you need to be a hero is be willing to stand up to a strangely-dressed alien who sounds like he's from england."
You just made a case for why Hannah of the reaction channel "Just Trust Ash" should be considered a superhero.
I don't know how many people will get that joke, but if you know, you know...
Superhero stories are better when they have random citizens standing up alongside the heroes.
Loki is not a alien he's the god of mischief
One can make a case that the old man is the most courageous character we've seen in the MCU to date. No powers, he knows Loki will kill him for it, yet he stands and delivers a verbal smack-down that should have the rest of the crowd feeling ashamed for having kneeled in the first place.
Which, given that he knows he's about to die, was probably the old man's intent. The greatest generation indeed.
"a strangely-dressed alien who sounds like he's from England" hahahaha!
Fun fact: the line where Banner says he attempted to kill himself and the Hulk spit the bullet out, refers to a scene that was actually filmed for The Incredible Hulk, with Edward Norton, but it was cut from the movie.
I see why it was cut.
On the hulk blu ray it's on the alternate opening of the film.
Good luck
Good reaction. In regards to the Hulk, he is angry, he is especially angry at Natasha for bringing him into this situation and he understands that she manipulated him, plus there is a part of him that is also attracted to her and he's resentful of this. But he is extra angry and out of control because Loki's staff was also manipulating him, hence why he focuses his rage on Natasha in this scene.
The line Steve gives Tony about sacrifice aboard the carrier is one of the best pieces of dialogue from the early MCU. It perfectly showcases their contrasting personalities and sets the tone for the changes they both experience later on.
The sacrifice part on Tony is what would become the foreshadowing of the later Avengers series to come.
Actually I think it’s simpler than that. It’s foreshadowing the end of this movie, when Tony puts his life on the line to carry the nuke. That it works in the bigger picture is a happy accident.
Her reaction is so genuine I feel like I’m experiencing it all over again
damn we got fooledXD she clearly watched these movies before, it not obvious to person like her who dosent watched these movies to predict things that will occure, ,she gave small clues on lthings she shouldn't know by nowXD
Fr bro, she is kinda smart too, analysing like that, not all reactors pay attention to small details
@@kaze.14 Yeah, I don't know for certain one way or other, but I saw no reason to assume she'd seen it before. Although she made a lot of good predictions, none of them were unlikely - I made basically the same guesses before and while watching it. She also had some incorrect notions. I think she's just throwing ideas out there as she watches, and she gets some right and some wrong. As you'd expect.
I think her ability to call whats coming makes her look real smart, and shows she is paying attention. I kinda feel like she is genuine.
@@MrRapidforce87
The Avengers changed Cinematic history in 2012 with this fusion of characters, the fusion of such big screen talent under one roof
It's pretty epic! Marvel is seriously raising the bar for movies. These films have such intricate plot points that all intertwine beautifully.
You must not have seen Cannonball Run. Burt Reynolds, Dom Delouise, Sammy Davis jr., Dean Martin, a young Jackie Chan.
One of the positives about Avengers, is that they set up the characters in their own movies previously, setting up their backstories, setting up the villains backstory, etc. Some directors try to cram in multiple villains/heroes into a single movie without any setup/backstory for any of them, and more often than not, those movies fail. Having larger than life heroes/villains needs their own backstory movies, otherwise you try to cram it into a 2 hour movie... it just doesn't work. (One of the reasons why I feel like the original spiderman 3, with Venom, missed the mark because they really didn't build up Venom prior...)
@@reactswithjaxnow, if only someone could tell Martin Scorsese bout all that.... 🙂
25:04 - Cap's shield is made from Vibranium which absorbs vibrations and kinetic energy. But Mjolnir is so powerful the shield reverberated the hammer's energy across the entire forest. This is also why when Peggy shot the shield in Captain America (2011), the bullets simply fell straight down and did not ricochet.
You should get out more often
The helicarrier starts to ascend into the air instead of submerging into the water, and Bruce says, "Oh no, this is much worse." One of my favorite lines from this movie, and I think you're the first reactor to show it! Thank you!
EDIT: And one of my other favorite lines: Natasha: "I don't see how that's a party." Thank you again!
Hahaha! Those were key moments of comedy gold!
Joss Whedon has proved to be a less-than-admirable person, but boy could he write dialogue.
The actor who helps Bruce when he wakes up in the rubble is the late, great Harry Dean Stanton. Marvel has a tendency to have notable actors in small bit parts in their films as a fun nod to the audience.
I’m enjoying your reactions to the MCU. I can’t wait to see how you’ll respond to some of incredible entries in Phase 3!
I was a BIG fan of Harry Dean Stanton. Whenever I saw him in a movie, I'd shout "Harry Dean! Muh MAN!" And his "Twister" (with Crispin Glover and Suzy Amis) is still the REAL "Twister"
I recognized him when I saw this movie in theaters and when he asked Bruce "are you an alien?" I bad a big chuckle being a huge fan of the movie Alien.
His ability to go between deadpan and over the top comedic delivery is one of my favorite things about him. The scene of him rehearsing an execution in The Green Mile is my favorite bit of acting he's ever done.
"I'm a done tom turkey! This is a SHOCKIN' experience!"
😂😂😂
The shawarma line that Tony said at the end was just an adlib line RDJ threw in, they liked the line so much that they came back months later and filmed the sitting and eating shawarma scene!
Yup, and when they came back, Chris Evens had been growing a mustache for another movie, which is why he is hiding his face through the scene
And it was filmed the week before the movie premiered.
That is so cool!
@@reactswithjax It also led to a huge rise of schwarma sales afterward.
It was also referenced in Endgame...
When Alexander Pierce asks them where they're going with the Tesseract, Thor replies "Lunch, and then Asgard". :)
36:33 Hulk actually saved the pilot's life there. There's often a reason behind his seemingly mindless acts of rampage, and in this case, Hulk made sure the pilot was clear of the exploding jet before his parachute opened and potentially burned up. Banner's intellect subconsciously at work.
The one crossover we've been looking forward to since the first Iron Man. This film never gets old for me. Nothing gets me more pumped up than seeing these guys join forces against the common threat. I could not stop laughing for 20 minutes when I first saw Hulk throwing Loki like a rag doll. That never gets old. All that aside, glad you enjoyed this and I hope you enjoy the rest of the universe.
that actually made me think of one of those old "Droopy "cartoons.
This movie was seriously incredible. Far better than I was expecting it to be. It only makes me more excited to see what the MCU has in store in phase 2. Seeing the Hulk take on Loki was wonderful! ❤️
@@reactswithjax Trust me, you have quite a journey ahead of you and it will get better.
When I saw this opening weekend, I couldn't hear "Puny God" because everyone was laughing so hard.
It doesn't matter HOW many times I've seen the movie, seeing Loki get ragdolled by The Hulk is always a laugh riot.
A guide when it comes to Bruce Banner's transformations into The Hulk: When it happens out of stress or anger, The Hulk is a completely out of control living wrecking ball. But when it happens willfully, he's a lot easier to manage.
Thor's hammer Mjolnir can indeed only be wielded by someone IT deems worthy, hence why Hulk couldn't pick it up, no matter how strong he is.
I also really love that defibrillator moment when Hulk roars to wake a seemingly dead Tony Stark after he flew the nuke into the portal.
Essentially at the end of the Hulk standalone movie, Bruce was able to turn it on/off... BUT the attack on the helicarrier panicked him, so the "beast" was uncontrolled.
That make sense! Thanks for clarifying ❤️
.... And he WAS under Loki's spell...thru the sceptre.
Yeah, that's always the explanation that I've had for him chasing her in that moment. There's probably a difference between when he chooses to change (i.e. "I'm always angry"), and when he is forced to change through some kind of outside stimulus. You could see that Bruce was trying to resist the transformation on the helicarrier.
Steve passing Fury $10 (after the Helicarrier takes off), still makes me smile every time. 😃
I love the commentary and all the small details you remember from the previous films. Hope you enjoy the series!
Love that yes! Seems most react channels are too focused on entertaining and not paying more attention. They tend to binge the franchise so on one hand it should be easier to remember, but also when we watch as they released in theater, we had much more time and urge to rewatch them and pick up on all the little details.
Point Break, we hear it now and in another one later on as I’m sure you know. Love it
Thank you! I've had so much fun watching these films and I can't wait to see what happens as we go into phase 2 ❤
That parallel between Steve and tony with the war thing you said at the end is genius, I’ve seen this movie at least 10 times and never noticed that. You really have a good eye for these things
Deleted scenes include an older man sheltering his grandchildren from the aliens, when he runs into Steve. The man is a ww2 vet, and Steve recognizes him.
Also, the waitress we see at the end originally had more screen time. Recall Steve is also an artist. He would sit in that restaurants outdoor section and sketch. The waitress laid out some very obvious signals that go right past him, which prompts the guy at the next table (Stan Lee) to say "Ask for her phone number, you moron!"
Later, during the time Cap rescues a group of hostages , a Chuitari fighter tore Steve's cap off, revealing his face. The waitress recognized him. This adds depth to her cameo at the end.
To complete Phil's final words:
"This was never gonna work if they didn't have something to avenge"
Jax asked about Phil dying. He did die in this movie. But what happens after that is the subject of Season 1 of Agents of SHIELD.
The genius of Joss Whedon is on full display with this movie. From the Dialog to the character development to the plot unfolding so perfectly. It all comes together with a hint of near perfection!
"That's my secret,Captain", "I am always angry", is one my favourite scenes/lines in any movie of all time. Then all the Avengers coming together with roundshot. Wow❤
Hands down one of my favorite reactors. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone near tears for Agent Coulson and I just love that you connected w the character so much. Now you have to watch Agents of Shield to figure out what happened to him 😏
Thank you!! I'm so glad you are enjoying my reactions!! Phil is such a great character. I'm bummed he was killed off in this movie...but I'm suspecting that maybe there is more at play here and that Agents of Shield is the key to finding out what.
@@reactswithjaxyess you’ll want to watch Agents of Shield!
Also, fun fact. The whimpering noise Loki made after Hulk beat the hell out of him actually wasnt acting at all. He made the noise because when they filmed the scene, he smacked his elbow on the ground.
Oh gosh! That must have hurt.
@@reactswithjax
There is a behind the scenes video of that scene and it's really funny because Tom Hiddleston repeatedly made himself laugh while filming that scene.
That "Puny god" moment. I seen this in theaters, and people just exploded in laughter. Goes to show how powerful they made up Hulk to be. in this movie, he could take on several avengers at the same time, and clearly break every bone in poor Loki's body, but, he had an anger management issue. Never the less, it's so satisfactory. When you beat the opposing general in 10 seconds, but the army keeps attacking.
And that comment about shawarma was funny. I prefer a kebab, but it's basically a more oriental type of sandwich you can have on the go.
Great reaction, looking forward to more :)
Hey Jax ... loved the reaction !!! Yeah that (ship's) invisibility cloak is actually not that. If you play that part back, you'll hear Agent Hill (Cobie Smulders, the very pretty woman in charge of the flying aircraft carrier) saying, "Engage retro-reflection panels" meaning, the ship is coated in panels that display what's behind the ship on the side you are viewing, so it merely "APPEARS" invisible ... as if you are not really there. It works almost like bending light around the ship, but not quite.
Now, the fact that you caught Captain Rogers paying up on his bet to Nick Fury is amazing. No one else seems to notice that, or "get it". This *_IS_* my favorite Marvel movie, along with the Iron Man ones.
"Did the hammer not want to hurt Steve because he's so pure of heart, or is the Shield just that powerful?"
Jax, you've asked a perfect question. One day someone will answer it.
My guess... since vibranium absorbs energy, and a hit from Moljnir might be too much energy for it to absorb, it repelled it. Kinda the same as a Hulk thunderclap.
That was the irresistible force meeting the immovable object.
@@daryllyew62 Nailed it.
I feel like what you're alluding to wasn't really a thing at this point. He wasn't faking it during the party for the sake of humility, he just genuinely wasn't there yet.
If Jax isn't a voice actress, she absolutely should be. This woman's voice is warm, gilded silk
This ☝️ Especially the way she says "The power of friendship" in her reactions. I can't pinpoint it, but the tone and inflection reminds me of either an actress or a voice actress.
Its so cool to see how (no spoilers) the later movies capitalize on dialogue from this and the other earlier films. The character development in the mcu is phenomenal
Fun fact: the younger cop out of the two that Cap gives directions to in the beginning of the New York Battle is the actor Enver Gjokaj, who also plays one of the main characters in the show Agent Carter, which is Peggy Carter's own show (I really recommend it, Peggy is amazing!).
He also shows up in Agents of Shield. And there’s a theory that the young cop is related to the character from Agent Carter.
The guy who gave Banner pants may have looked familiar because he was in the original Alien movie, which makes him asking Banner if he's an alien even funnier. I like to think he's playing the same character like "I've dealt with an alien before, so I hope you're not one" lol
MArvel Fun:
Back in the day, a Life-Model Decoy was a rudimentary android which looked and sounded like its human counterpart. It could be publicly seen interacting with people while the actual person was out Hero-ing.
Life-model Decoys were a thing in comics, invented by SHIELD, particularly for use by high-profile people who also had a secret identity. The world has changed so much that the trope of a secret identity, a bedrock of a lot of story plots, is no longer believable. In Nick Fury's case, where his identity was not secret, it meant Fury could seem to be in many places at once, and its primary function, DECOY, behaved like a hunter's decoy, except that it was there to thwart the assassins/hunters who might be tempted.
IF you enjoy collecting the Metals of Marvel, like Uru (Thor's hammer), Vibranium (Cap's shield, Bucky's arm), Adamantium (Wolverine's claws)---- LMDs (as Life Model Decoys were called) were wrapped in a metal called Epidurium ---- very skin-like.
That comment where she said"...i wonder if the guy is still playing the video game " Left me dying
49:34 I love how Steve always calls the Hulk as hulk itself rather Dr. Banner. No wonder why the hulk respects Cap soooo much
Steve knows Hulk is Hulk and Banner is Banner. Steve respects pronouns guaranteed lmao
What’s ironic is that in The Incredible Hulk, Betty called Hulk Bruce without being upset about it.
@@ricardoortiz4870 well that's not really ironic, tbh she was his girlfriend at that time 😅 and hulk recognizes her very much
@@Shap0o.PlayZz It’s so weird tbh. Sad that Bruce and Betty parted ways at the end, then in Age of Ultron went with Natasha and then after Age of Ultron, that Brutasha thing just vanished when Infinity War was released, with Nat gone Banner now has a son named Skaar.
@@ricardoortiz4870 yeah I know.. it's weird.. but please keep these information to yourself. Jax has not seen anything of these.. it will be a spoiler. So I advise you delete your comment. So that we won't spoil it for her. Thank you
Strap yourself in, because you're in for a wild ride as you progress though the MCU! There, no spoilers. 😁 I love your reactions, and you saw all the set-ups and figured out what was going on as they were going on. You were thinking throughout this movie where I was just watching in awe, when I first saw it.
I'm so glad you enjoy these reactions! I have so much fun making them ❤ I can't wait to see where this story goes. The mid credit scene was so exciting but left me with even more questions!!
@@reactswithjax Yes, and those of us that watched it in the theatre ran to google for answers. You are not allowed, because, SPOILERS, spoilers, REDACTED, Spoilers.
@@reactswithjax you'll get your answers soon Jax, until then, no spoilers 😅😂
@@reactswithjax Unfortunately some of the thumbnails for the movies will spoil some things you’ll get to further down the line. Since you’re watching these on a streaming service I don’t know how you can avoid this. 🤷♂️ love your reactions 😊
59:03 The reason Captain America is sitting at the table with his face leaning on his fist is because Chris Evans had a full beard when this scene was being filmed and they covered it up very badly, so they also had him "hide" his face. LOL
One reaction a week with the Marvel story is going to be painful. Enjoyable, but painful. And, thank you for catching the little things such as the $10 bet. So many have asked, "why did he give Fury money?". Love your reactions.
Captain America and Tony make great foils for each other. Tony begins arrogant and prideful. He wants to do everything his way, and be uncontrolled. Steve starts humble and small, just wanting to help and ready to follow orders to to the right thing. They both are very strong personalities, and easily fall into the leader role, which leads to many clashes. Thanks for sharing this delightful reaction.
Oh snap! This came out sooner than I expected, lol. I'm so excited to watch this reaction. I remember not being sure about Mark Ruffalo replacing Norton, but the moment I saw him on the airship looking around nervously and feeling out of place, I knew right away that I was going to like him (ESPECIALLY after his "stop lying to me" line, and how well he plays off RDJ). If I remember right, Banner was kind of a shy, emotionally withdrawn/complex person in the comics, which is a big reason why the main trigger for the Hulk is when he gets angry.
After-watch Edit: I'm so glad you caught the shawarma scene, rofl. Stupid fact: This movie made me try shawarma for the first time. It's now my favorite food, lol. As for what Avenger I'd want to be? Hmmm. Hulk is my favorite but I think I'd go for Iron Man. Not only can you fly, you're also a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist.
Fun Fact: Mark Ruffalo was actually the director Louis Leterrier’s first choice for the role of Bruce Banner in this movie.
I agree! I think Ruffalo fits right in as the Hulk and has great chemistry with the cast.
The Shawarma scene was so funny! I've never had it before but now I want to try it. They sell it at Disney's Avengers Campus and I never knew it was a reference to the movie!
Iron Man is a good choice btw. Nothing wrong with being a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist 😂
@@reactswithjax That’s exactly what the director Louis Leterrier would’ve wanted back then, if not for studio interference.
32:51
Don’t get the wrong idea, Hulk isn’t a mindless monster. He normally tries to avoid people and get to solitude, but other times, he goes after who Bruce directs his anger towards right before transforming. He was angry at Natasha when he said “YOUR LIFE?!?!” And since he transformed right after that, hulk knew who to go for first
Okay, it's back; I thought I was going crazy haha. Pumped for this one and phase two is so damn good :D
It's back! I was definitely going crazy trying to get it up! 😂 I can't wait for Phase 2! This is going to be epic!
This is maybe one of my top 5 (top 3?) favorite MCU movie. At the time, I said there is no way they can make a decent ensemble cast work so evenly... and yet Joss Whedon figured out how to do it. All the cast is beautifully balanced and everyone has a moment to shine. There's so many great lines of dialogue, between the funny and the serious, and it's just amazingly well directed. So much to love here, and I enjoyed revisiting it through you.
So impressed with how many insights you had into future story lines. Wow!
I can't wait to see what I got right and wrong! ❤️
In the comics, I remember that Black Widow DID have enhanced physical abilities. She was certainly stronger than an average human, but just as if not more important, she had enhanced healing and, I THINK, she even aged at a slower rate.
The MCU version of the character is not superpowered but is EXTREMELY intelligent and expertly skilled/competent in technology, spy craft, and martial arts.
Before this film was released, I was concerned about how all the characters would be balanced and the story would progress. They did a fantastic job. Looking forward to your other videos of the MCU.
One of the things I've come to love about your reviews is that when you're thinking out loud and asking little questions to yourself during the movie and then giving your post-viewing thoughts afterwards, you have no idea how many times you're hitting all the perfect talking points dead-on when it comes to the future movies in the series! Almost all the little details you tend to pick apart get addressed at some point.
The old man in Germany is heavily implied to be a holocaust survivor, great of Marvel to throw something so real and human into this tale of gods and aliens.
Also, in the comics Thor compliments Tony by calling him a god. It's high praise and the ultimate respect for his intelligence as power and heroism as godlihood( Thor's ideal version of what that means). In terms of power, it's highly story dependent, but you can't dismiss his ability. Iron Man is more powerful than most give him credit for.
A detail: Loki's scepter made him and avengers aggressive when they're around it, because of something inside it.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is definitely worth watching, Jax, whether you put it on the channel or not, but I'd suggest waiting until after you eventually view the movie "Avengers: Endgame", as the series spoiler references the MCU movies that were playing during its run.
Could also watch it along with the movies if she got caught up. Without going into spoilers, Winter Soldier is the turning point of the show for example. I remember that being a crazy week. They have chronological guides for that im sure too
The first big mystery of Agents of SHIELD was 'How the hell is Phil Coulson alive?' Because even Phil doesn't even know the truth at first.
Good reaction to one of the best movies I ever saw... that and the original Star Wars moved me the most.
This is my favorite reaction to this movie🤩 Really appreciate your observations, especially about the dynamic btw Steve and Tony; and, of course, we couldn't agree more about Natasha's brilliance!
What a compliment!! Thank you so much ❤️ Natasha's abilities really shined in this movie. Her ability to interrogate people without them knowing it is brilliant!
Remember that line you laughed at, "glorious purpose" ... just make a note somewhere :)
The hammer didn't hurt the shield because of the material it's made of, vibranium. A fictional Marvel metal, it's not unbreakable but it can withstand heavy vibrations and force. It was mentioned a little bit in CA:TFA but I've always felt they could go into more detail. You'll learn more about vibranium later on but I won't spoil where.
I love that (justifiably) suspicious side-eye you gave when Tony dropped the computer bug. I think a lot people miss that moment.
Bullets can hurt Steve. He's not invulnerable, he's just a peak athlete thanks to the serum. Maybe a bit stronger than most but no real super strength.
I'm not quite sure why most of the subtitles said "captain" when most of them are saying "Cap," which is pretty much how they address him the rest of the series (also in the comics).
One of your hopes/guesses for one of the Avengers actually will happen in their next movie and I can't wait for you to see you were right! But I won't say who!!
RE what you were saying about Norton-Bruce in the shower ... there is another reaction channel I watch, a husband and wife team, and they commented on how the MCU is basically a story about coping with trauma and I have to say that's spot on so it was great that you noticed that too.
I hope she watches the Loki series because based on her reaction to this movie I think she would love what they did to his character.
Of course Steve got the "flying monkeys" reference... The Wizard of Oz was released in '39.
Ooooh! I didn't catch that 😂
Stan Lee’s line in here has a touch of comedic irony. Before him superhero comics were mostly set in fictional cities. He was the one who wanted to start putting them in “the world outside your window”. And since he lived and worked in NYC, most of the Marvel heroes are set in New York.
Hi Jax!🙂I believe part of Loki's plan was to get caught, and have his staff in the vicinity of Bruce Banner in order to modify the Hulk's emotions. I believe that explains his change of behavior on the ship. Your insight into some possible future predictions is pretty impressive.😉Ashley Johnson (TV interview) had a much bigger role in the film, but most of her parts were cut. That security guard that finds Bruce is Harry Dean Stanton. He's been in a lot of films. Two of the bigger ones are "Alien" and "The Green Mile". Hawkeye and Black Widow don't have any special powers. But, they both end up getting their own projects. Black Widow gets a film and Hawkeye gets a limited series. Nice reactions to your very first Avengers film, Jax!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I agree with you about Loki trying to get caught to stir up the Hulk's emotions. Thank you for letting me know what movies Harry Dean Stanton had been in! I knew I had seen him somewhere before. It was in "The Green Mile". I'm glad Hawkeye and Black Widow get their own projects. They are great characters but haven't had as much screen time yet. ❤️
Steve Rogers, the man raised and built to obey commands from others and work as a team player.
Tony Stark, the man who calls all the shots and does anything and everything for himself.
Polar opposite personalities, yet so much in common story arc-wise. They wrote these two men SO well
Why w'd anybody listen to any orders ? That is not good message to put out there.
"and does anything and everything for himself": in the time between Iron Man 1 and Iron Man 2 (six months), Tony kept on wearing the Iron Man suit to save and help people (stopping a forest fire, rescuing a submarine, working on bettering Eastern-Western relationships and so on) all the while knowing it was accelerating his dying and might have become painful at one point. Just saying. He also was ready to risk his life to defeat Stane in the first movie. And in this movie, he proved twice that he was more than ready to sacrifice his life to save others. First with the rotor (I mean the thing allowing the hellicarier to fly that Tony had to physically push at risk of getting crush), then with the missile.
@@babadoudidadouda Keep in mind, Tony is motivated very strongly by guilt. He saw first-hand the evil his weapons manufacturing did and how he's contributed to distributing harm and death with his companies. He never wore the suit cuz it was "the right thing to do"; he mostly put it on to right the wrongs he himself had done. In Iron Man 2, the fame and attention gets to him, so he wears the suit mostly to show off. What heroic actions does he do in Iron Man 2? Fight Hammer, yeah, but that's cuz Hammer stole his technology, which ties into his guilt again (people using HIS products for evil purposes). So that's what "everything he does is for himself" means; he doesn't do it to help others, but rather to tell himself that he isn't a terrible person (while making very poor choices doing so, just look at Avengers 2-)
“If any of these characters is going to develop any PTSD or nightmares”??? That is an excellent observation, because YES… stay tuned!!😊
The schwarma scene was shot just literally days before the movie's release. They brought them all back to shoot the scene. Chris Evans has his hand on his face because he had a beard while shooting another movie.
Four of the highest grossing movies of all time are MCU movies. It's truly remarkable what Marvel has done.
That is so cool! I noticed he was hiding his face but I wasn't sure why!
So excited you got to this movie. I was in geek heaven leading up to going to see this!
While I was watching this you made me think about Iron Man and how he was able to absorb and store Thor’s lightning attack…I wouldn’t be surprised if he added that ability into the suit after his fight with Whiplash on the race track
Really looking forward to you seeing Iron Man 3!
I hadn't though of that! You're right! Tony probably did enhance his suit after fighting Whiplash. I wonder how far in advance the writers plot these story lines. It seems like everything is so seamless!
Hulk is basically being controlled by the sceptre in the fight on the helicarrier. He's in full "rage" mode and isn't thinking for himself.
24:07 From what i've heard, this is a connection to iron man 2 because when he got eletrocuted by the villan in that movie he got essentially paralized, so since then he improved his suit to withstand electricity, the side effect being that it actually charges the suit now! 😂
Important part. Tony Stark always learn from his mistakes. The first movie he fix the icing problem. In the second movie his suit hit by high powered electricity from Ivan Vankovs whips and completely ruin the suit. Here in the Avangers when Thor hit him with lightning Tony already have countermeasure for high voltage because of this his suit super charges for 400%. You can watch every movie how his suits are improving because he found a solution of previous problems
That's such great insight on Tony!
I love your reactions. 🤩You are emotional but also enthusiastic about the films you watch. You don't talk too much and not too little and you don't shout around like some others. It's really fun to watch you. It's almost like sitting on the couch with friends and watching a movie together. I kind of grew up watching Marvel and I've always been fascinated by the movies. Definitely keep doing it. Greetings from Germany.🙂
What a compliment!! Thank you so much and I'm so happy you liked this reaction! ❤️🎉🎉
"That's my secret Cap. I'm always angry" favorite line of the movie. Well, that & "Puny god"
The ending shwarma scene was only shot a couple of weeks before the movie's theatrical release. Chris Evans was shooting another movie where he had a beard, so they had to make him a clean-shaven face prosthetic which he also used his hand to cover.
That's awesome! I noticed he was covering his face and wondered why Cap didn't want to eat any of the food!
Getting Harry Dean Stanton to ask Banner if he's an alien, was in my
mind a lovely callback to the fact he was in the 1979 movie, ALIEN.
It's so cool to see you catch on to all the mental trauma of these stories. The MCU illustrates the aftermath of these traumas across multiple stories, and VERY effectively. You're gonna love it.
Also: Natasha and Clint are not super soldiers. They are just world-class fighters. they are the only two "not enhamced" avengers (for now).
I love how human these superheroes are. They have the same traumas that anyone may experience going through these situations. I love that they are not above that.
It is incredible that Natasha and Clint can keep up with the rest of them. It shows how talented they are and how much they've worked at developing their skills.
Gosh! U are GREAT at catching all the small/minor details as well as bigger ones that lead to more! Love it! Enjoying your journey through the MCU! Excited for more!
The best part for me from this movie is how everyone is cautious or scared of the hulk while the whole time Tony just treats Bruce like a normal dude just treating him like a human
This lady is intelligent and a joy to watch her reactions. Completely beautiful too. Love seeing the look of awe on people’s faces when watching excellent movies.
You catch a lot of details that most reactors I've seen, don't. I love that :D
*"That ship has a mouth?!?".....OMG Jax girl you're HILARIOUS!!!* 😅😂🤣
The older guy where Bruce wakes up in the building wreckage is Henry Dean Stanton. He played Brett in Alien.
He's had a lot of other roles, but the only other ones I remember him from were in Escape From New York and Young Doctors in Love.
Cap is so proud when he gets references, it's adorable 😅
Great Reaction Jax. Imho one of the best reaction channels on yt. Tasha is such a great example of picturing a strong female Character with showing weaknessses and strength at the same time and btw she is not a super human like Steve she is just an amazing fighter because of her training as a Assassin and Spy. The same goes with Hawkeye.
The TV Show Agents of Shield is my suggestion if you wanna know more about Phil Coulson and his Story at Shield.
Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that natasha was inject with supersoldier serum or something to enhance her capabilities in black widow
@@lillies2301 in the comics the Black Widows got a serum to enhance them physically, but not in the MCU. They are just extremely well trained fighters in the movie universe.
@@neospock5034 sorry, i thought that a some point they addressed this, thanks for the correction
Bruce Banner is a renowned scientist, physicist, and medical doctor with seven Ph.D.s. We don't lie precisely what they all are, but he's a genius.
I love Loki as a character. He's not truly evil. His actions are based around a feeling of inadequacy and feeling that he wasn't as loved by his father as Thor was. He always felt like he was on the outside looking in with his own family all his life. He played tricks to get attention, and he attacked Earth because he was hurting. Obviously his actions are unforgivable, but there's so much depth to his character and he feels things that a lot of people can relate to
Loki is evil. He kills wantonly. The fact that so many people can watch him murder innocents and still sau "he's not truly evil" kinda tells me all I need to know about why people fall for sociopaths. If Loki wasn't cute, so many people wouldnt be excusing all his bad behavior.
@@Prince_the_One That’s based on very black and white view of good and evil. If we go by actions alone, the bad outweighs the good and Loki is evil. However, how do you define evil? If we go by Webster’s definition, we find that evil is: “morally reprehensible” or “arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct.” Is evil simply the absence of good? If so, then no, Loki isn’t evil. There is good in him. There’s more bad than good, but it’s still there and in the end he chose to do the right thing rather than defaulting into his old ways. Furthermore, is he evil in part of the story and not in the rest? Possibly, yes. What makes Loki so hard to pin down is the fact that up until Infinity War it’s an ongoing story, so if you pluck him out at certain points, it’s still open for debate what constitutes as evil. He certainly is evil for large chunks of his overall storyline, but when he develops, the picture gets away blurry and hard to describe. In that case, what is the measure of evil? Is it the whole journey or the ending? Can the lives he’s taken be weighed against the lives he’s saved? What tips the balance on the scales of the soul?
@@actioninmyphannypack Like I said, people fall for sociopaths who are handsome and charismatic, just like Loki, which is the only reason people defend him so much, because they find him attractive. If he was ugly everyone would be wondering why he isnt dead or in jail.
@@Prince_the_One That’s not why, lol
LoL
I'm impressed how much you remember and how much you can make an educated guess based off what you know. It's very refreshing to have someone so into this series to call back on information about characters to make your experience more coherent. Your reaction feels very genuine and smart that i didn't feel the need to skip to the reaction like i do with other reactors, so i hope you take these compliments as my appreciation of your video and you have a new follower as a token of my gratitude. To answer your question about what avenger I'd want to be I can't say until you go further into the universe of marvel, but for now for the characters that you know i would want to be Tony Stark because who doesn't want to be rich and smart? Ask us that question again later on for a different answer.
Hey, Jacqueline! "Avengers" was a game-changer and the proof of concept of Feige's grand plan! Team movies weren't anything new as we had already seen the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Mystery Men, Watchmen and the Incredibles in action by this point but a multi-franchise crossover event hadn't been done since the Universal horror cycle of the '40's and, certainly, not on a scale this immense! This movie is the very definition of a thrilling Hollywood blockbuster and it shattered every record! Who knew we were only being teed up for something even bigger?
In answer to your in-universe timeline question, "First Avenger" is from 1942-1945, "Agent Carter: Season 1" is in 1946, "Agent Carter One-Shot" is in 1947, Ang Lee's "Hulk" is from 2005-2006, "Iron Man" is in 2009, Fury's Big Week including "Iron Man 2", "Incredible Hulk" and "Thor" is in 2010, Cap is thawed in 2011 and "Avengers" is in 2012 with "Iron Man 3" occurring at year's end 2012.
Marvel Comics assembled "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" in September 1963, the same month the X-Men debuted and two years after the Fantastic Four. Whereas the other groups were privately financed and comprised of members who were linked by blood or genes, the Avengers were a more motley crew subject to government oversight. Their headquarters was a mansion gifted to the team by Tony Stark located on 890 Fifth Avenue in New York City nestled on the eastern edge of Central Park complete with a butler named Jarvis to attend their needs. As in the movie, the team would travel around the globe in sleek compact planes called Quinjets. The five founding members were Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp and Hulk. The team found Captain America in the ice and thawed him out in the fourth issue. He was granted honorary founding status and has been with the group through almost every incarnation often leading as Chairman. As in the film, it was Loki's mischief that brought the heroes together whereupon they decided they should gather regularly to tackle any situation that was too much for any one them alone. Borrowing again from Marvel's alternate universe, the 1610 Ultimate Universe, the Chitauri are introduced as Loki's invasion force in the film since the Ultimate-equivalent of the Avengers united for the first time to battle that species. Credit goes to the Wasp's Janet van Dyne for coming up with their name, the Avengers. Over the years, the roster would rotate frequently as a diverse group of beings filled the ranks of the organization including humans, superhumans, mutants, inhumans, atlanteans, eternals, sorcerers, androids, aliens, demi-gods and deities. The team's battle cry was simple: "Avengers Assemble!"
Joss Whedon was an ideal choice for director. Having cut his teeth on "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly", he understood how to ground fantasy and sci-fi with clashing team dynamics. As a comic book enthusiast and writer, he was well-versed with the Marvel sandbox and this movie hums under his sure hand.
As this is a team movie, the cast is a bunch of familiar faces with a couple of new additions and everybody gets their moment to shine. Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark aka Iron Man, Gwyneth Paltrow as Virginia 'Pepper' Potts, Paul Bettany as JARVIS and Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow carry over from the "Iron Man" films. Chris Hemsworth as Thor Odinson aka Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki Laufeyson aka Loki, Stellan Skarsgard as Dr. Erik Selvig and Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton aka Hawkeye carry over from "Thor". Chris Evans as Steve Rogers aka Captain America carries over from "The First Avenger". Samuel L. Jackson as Col. Nick Fury, Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson and Maximiliano Hernandez as Agent Jasper Sitwell return as the faces of SHIELD with new addition Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, right-hand woman to Fury. Mark Ruffalo replaces Edward Norton as Bruce Banner aka Hulk but Lou Ferrigno remains on hand as the voice of Hulk. Powers Boothe and Jenny Agutter play World Security Council members who carry over into "Agents of SHIELD" as Gideon Malick and "Winter Soldier" as Hawley, respectively. Whedon alum Alexis Denisof plays the Chitauri spokesman known as The Other in heavy prosthetics who appears again in "Guardians of the Galaxy". Surprisingly, distinguished Polish writer-director-actor Jerzy Skolimowski pops up as corrupt Russian General Luchkov who gets outplayed by Natasha. Esteemed character actor Harry Dean Stanton has a wry bit as a custodian who witnesses the Hulk's transformation, New York character actor Robert Clohessy has a funny bit as an NYPD Sergeant who questions Cap's credentials, veteran character actor Kenneth Tigar has a moving bit as a defiant old German man, prolific character actor Jamie McShane has a quick televised bit as a celebratory bystander, all-American character actor Warren Kole plays a SHIELD tech on the helicarrier bridge and Ashley Johnson, the voice of Ellie in "The Last of Us", shows up as Beth, a grateful waitress. Enver Gjokaj, who would later be cast as Daniel Sousa in "Agent Carter" and "Agents of SHIELD", briefly appears in an unrelated role as a New York cop!
TRIVIA:
1. Harry Dean Stanton was famously killed by the xenomorph in "Alien" so, when he asks a naked Bruce Banner if he's an alien, it's a tongue-in-cheek nod to his former role.
2. RDJ ad-libbed a lot of dialogue including the faux-Shakespeare routine with Thor, the "Galaga" quip on the bridge, the shawarma comment when he's revived and the character nicknames like Legolas for Hawkeye.
3. Mark Ruffalo ad-libbed the roar that awakens Tony from unconsciousness after he falls back to Earth.
4. Chitauri is Zulu for 'serpent race from the sky'.
5. Jeremy Renner was trained by Olympic archers in the use of his bow.
6. Shawarma sales skyrocketed after this movie!
EASTER EGGS:
1. Loki's body temperature registers as blue on the infrared monitor trained on his cell because of his Frost-Giant physiology.
2. Odin's pet ravens Huginn (Thought) and Muninn (Memory) fly past Thor and Loki on the outcrop after Loki is taken from the Quinjet.
3. One of the trading cards in Coulson's collectible set features the cover of "Captain America" # 1 which illustrates Cap socking Hitler on the jaw.
4. The mind-controlling Chitauri scepter makes its first appearance in the saga and is the second alien artifact of power to affect our heroes after the space-spanning Tesseract.
CAMEO:
1. Stan Lee appears in a cameo as a chess-playing senior citizen who expresses disbelief about superheroes being active in New York.
END-CREDIT SCENES:
1. The Other reports the Chitauri defeat to Thanos who smiles at the prospect of 'courting death'. This is Thanos' first appearance in the saga. His smile is a reference to his comic counterpart who actually is in love with the personification of Death.
2. The exhausted team gorges themselves on shawarma post-battle having taken Tony up on his suggestion.
The next chronological stop in the MCU is the ONE-SHOT featurette called "ITEM 47" about Chitauri tech falling into the wrong hands. It is found on the "Avengers" blu-ray or on DPlus.
Don't forget to watch it or the AGENT CARTER ONE-SHOT which can be paired with "Captain America: The First Avenger" or be viewed as a coda to the "AGENT CARTER" series.
If you want to see "AGENT CARTER", the first 8-episode season is EXCEPTIONAL, occurs before the One-Shot and can be seen after "Avengers" as an interlude between phases.
The "Man Out of Time" DELETED SCENE which includes Stan Lee should not have been cut from the film and is definitely worth a look!
Jesus. This is the longest comment I’ve ever seen 😂🫡
I need to start wearing sunglasses when I watch your reactions. Every time you smile I risk going blind.
Finally Jax... I'm looking forward to this. My friends call me the "Marvel_Lad" so I'm eager to see if you cant spot all the story continuity and other subtle details in the rest of the Marvel movies including this one. You're awesome Jax
It has been so fun trying to put all the puzzle pieces together to see how all of the movies are connected. I just hope I remember all of the little plot points as we move into phase 2! ❤️
This is the movie that made everyone realize that this strategy could actually work. Individual movies for the main heroes for us to get to know them, and then they all come together for a couple of really special movies.
If you end up watching Agents of Shield it's explained how Coulson is alive. That show along with phase 1 makes him a top 5 MCU character for me.
Careful, that is kind of a spoiler.... Even if she doesn't watch the show, it hits more thinking he is dead.
The old guy giving Banner some clothes was Harry Dean Stanton who played Brett (a maintenance worker) in the 1979 movie “Alien”! Harry was from Kentucky. He passed away in 2017 at age 91. RIP Harry
I strongly recommend that you watch both Agent Carter (no spoilers for any of the movies) and then Agents of SHIELD, in that order (wait till after Captain America: Civil War for that one). Both are a joy to watch. Also neither Hawkeye or Black Widow are superheroes, just at the height of physical condition and highly trained through years of experience. Yes there is a history between them in the comic books.
Great reaction Jax! I'm enjoying your MCU journey. As for Natasha (Black Widow) and Clint Barton (Hawkeye) they are both highly trained and skilled people with no super abilities.
Thank you! I appreciate you letting me know about Nat and Clint. It's amazing they are able to keep up with the other super heroes despite having no "super" abilities themselves other than pure talent and skill.
This movie changed the game for comic book movies. I remember going to the movie theater with both of my parents to watch the avengers and we all enjoyed it so much. I was only 10 when I saw this movie in theaters and now I'm 21... time flies by so quick. I really can't wait to see your reaction and opinions on this one! 😊🙏🏻
I am nearly three times your age and I grew up reading the comics these heroes are based on. Any live action movie or TV series they made back then were pretty bad (although The Incredible Hulk with Bill Bixby/ Lou Ferrigno as Banner/Hulk was good for its day). When these movies came out it was a wish fulfillment that I never imagined.
@@testfire3000 That is amazing man. I can't imagine how it must have felt seeing those classic superheroes appearing on the silver screen for the first time. Definitely wished I was around to see those classics back then man it would have been so awesome!
new subscriber, i cant get over how you review movies, Your facial expressions, your laugh, and those gorgeous peepers, and how you can tell that your joy is genuine while reviewing a movie. Keep up the great work, I love seeing others reactions to movies that i love.
Always look forward to your MCU reacts!! You have great taste and quality of reaction 🤓
PS they only get better and better for a while!
Captain America aka Steve Rogers is the best boy 😊 his trilogy along with the Guardians are the best written!
This movie was so incredible. I can't wait to see what happens next!! Glad you are enjoying the reactions. I've been having a blast!
I agree! Captain America is the best!!! ❤️
In at least one version - a 2006 animated movie - Hulk _can_ lift Mjolnir. Not because he's worthy, but because he's just that strong. It took some effort, but he did it. I think, given a few more seconds, this Hulk could've lifted it too.
Interesting!!!!
Capt telling Tony that he's not the sacrificing himself type of guy but at the end he did exactly that, was probably my favorite part of the movie and a very underapreciated parallel. And btw i'm so sad that she cut one of my favorite line by Tony which he said," you're a laboratory experiment rogers, everything special about you came out of a bottle" , that right there is a mic drop for me :v
What's so strange is that's incorrect bc Dr Erskin from Capt America The First Avenger told us what was special about Steve and why he was hand picked to receive the super soldier serum but Tony didn't know that of course.
@@shootingreal5945 yes, but if steve responded by saying, " you know i was picked because i was just a skinny guy that has a good heart " , its kinda ehhhhh.... you know how it is. So in conclusion Tony without a suit was and still a genius that can make tech/weapons to help save the world, Steve without the serum just a good hearted skinny guy that doesn't even have the chance to save the world if he wasn't spotted/picked by Dr.Erskin. :)
@Ando Khun Yeah there is a lot of truth in what you said but I truly think that the point of Steve's story is that just a good guy willing to make a stand against his betters can make as much a difference when the chips are down as a super genius when the situation presents itself.
@@shootingreal5945 yes i agree, it's just the way Steve tellling Tony about what is he without the suit, just makes me a bit boiled up :v i'm sorry, because, just like i said in my previous conclusion :). Still both are great tho, but Tony's character development is just immaculate, and keeps getting better as the mcu goes on :)
And yet tony was completely wrong . As doctor erskin said about steve was WHY he was picked . skinny guy my butt with a good heart . he is smart compassionate and many other things you and many others fail to see because you look at the surface not within.
Love that your prediction for Steve Roger's personality to take a back seat was completely wrong! And I don't mean it sarcastically. His personality shines when he's leading a group but you would never expect it!
The Hulk whipping Loki back and forth like a wet towel is one of my top 3 Marvel movie moments. The others are in Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame.
BTW, Agents of SHIELD is good. Great characters. In the first couple of seasons, they try to stay in the continuity of the movies. There are also occasional crossovers and appearances by movie characters. But, after a while, they decide to do their own thing and it actually gets better because of it.
The Hulk vs Loki was so funny! I'm looking forward to seeing the movies that have your other favorite moments!
I'm sure I'll get around to Agents of SHIELD at some point. I keep hearing that it is wonderful. But for now, I want to stick with the movies.
@@reactswithjax Agents of SHIELD is produced by Joss Whedon, who wrote and directed The Avengers and The Avengers: Age of Ultron. He also created Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, and The Nevers. All of which I think you'd like. Firefly and The Nevers are short series. Firefly is 14 episodes and a movie and The Nevers is 12 episodes. Both have great characters, stories, and lots of humor. Same with Buffy, but it's 7 seasons so it's a much bigger committment. Plus it has a spin-off, Angel, which ran for 5 seasons. But if you love the shorter series, you might want to give them a shot.
Well, the 1st Thor movie was directed by Kenneth Branagh, who directed and played Hamlet. Black Widow was trained to be one of the best assassins for the KGB (I think), before she joined SHIELD. Clint Barton is a highly trained SHIELD agent (in the comics he started out as a villain, being part of a Circus bad guy gang. Black Widow started out as a villain too in the comics) and "amazing aim", that's why he's called Hawkeye ;)
The pack of blueberrys was not in the script, Robert Downey Jr. hid it on the set because he was hungry. The actor that looks familiar is Harry Dean Stanton (RIP), one of the greatest character actors who always had supporting roles (but he did play the main lead in Paris, Texas). The purple guy, Thanos, you will get to know him really well soon...
Awesome reaction as usual, you really do these movies justice with your attention to detail. I'm curious, do you plan on watching any of the marvel shows, specifically the ones from Netflix? They take place after the first avengers movie starting with Daredevil which is widely regarded as one of the greatest comic book projects ever made
Fun fact: Life-Model Decoy was actually a thing in comic books, as the need to protect SECRET IDENTITIES was paramount.
I believe Reed Richards invented them (odd, since the Fantastic Four never hid their IDs, but go Jack and Stan, Reed was THEEEEE inventor), but the LMDs were used for decades --- and you could never be quite sure. Android or hero?
I'm sad/glad the MCU ditched the whole secret identity schtick for most of the heroes, because while a rich source of intrigue and drama, it just doesn't play in modern times.
If my memory is sketchy on the inventor, I read the comics brand new over 50 yeas ago.
