THE AVENGERS (2012) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

[@GoodOldGamer]

Hulk takes orders from Cap because Cap addresses him as Hulk, not Banner. It doesn't trigger him and also shows him respect.

[@bernice6867]

And he likes to "smash" anyway.

wich is also foreshadowed by thor and natasha calling him bruce, wich just makes him angrier.

@@theflyingdutchguy9870 I loves Hulk’s hatred for Banner, it’s hilariously sad in away.

⁠@@comicbooknerd3570there is some love behind this hatred cause no matter what Hulk will never let banner die and will always come out to save the day

[@Cinemabu11]

35:48 - He's somewhat of a mindless beast. But Hulk is able to distinguish between friend and foe despite that. He attacked the Avengers because the scepter messed with his head, as well as the rest of the Avengers and Fury, which clouded his mind, and at that point Hulk, like Banner didn't really trust some of the members as he didn't really know them.

[@jgrado3]

12:40 Cap said in the gym nothing would surprise him. Fury: “Ten bucks says you’re wrong.” 💵 Got him!

[@snvhill]

I love the subtle character building there. Cap, instantly and unasked for, owns what he said and pays up. No pretense, no trying to claim otherwise, no hoping Fury will forget. Just 'welp, I was wrong', and gives Fury ten bucks. If you came in to this movie without any prior knowledge it gives you a quick insight into him.

[@vin9791]

@@snvhill i also see it as a way of showing how old-school cap is because nowadays "ten bucks says you're wrong" is mostly just used as an expression but cap took it literally as a real bet

[@b.u.l.1734]

Banner learned to "control" Hulk at the very end of Incredible Hulk. The reason he was going crazy at the ship fighting Thor and Black Widow was because the transformation was triggered by the explosions, as a trauma response. It wasn't a consensual transformation by neither of them.

[@Nick-kb2jc]

I always thought it was because he was under the influence of the septor by Loki.

[@b.u.l.1734]

@Nick-kb2jc They all break out of the spell when the explosions happen.

[@Nick-kb2jc]

@ was this confirmed? Not saying you’re wrong, I’m just interested to read about it. I always thought Bruce was the only one under the influence on the helicarrier. That’s why we see him holding the septor all of a sudden.

[@b.u.l.1734]

@Nick-kb2jc Sure, but that's before the explosions happen. Everyone goes back to normal once the attack happens.

[@Nick-kb2jc]

@ I got you. But where is the source that confirms more than one person (other than Bruce) was under the influence and that the explosion released them from it? That’s all I’m asking.

[@havok6280]

12:40 Fury: He's called Loki, he's...not from around here. The world has gotten even stranger than you already know. Cap: Yeah, at this point I doubt anything would surprise me. Fury: Ten bucks says you're wrong.

[@TheAmazingWebhead]

Good reaction! This movie combines elements of the OG comics & the Ultimates comics continuity to make a good movie that started the cinematic universe era where different companies tried to do what Marvel did by bringing franchises together or do spin offs. Loki being the villain that brought the Avengers together was what happen in the comics. The founding members are different here although. In the original story, it was Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, & two other heroes you haven’t been introduce to yet that became the team. Captain America didn’t join until issue 4. It was worth bringing it up because Black Widow & Hawkeye (Clint) were basically taking those two heroes spots as founding members in the films. The reason Hulk was aggressive earlier in the movie was implied that Loki’s scepter influenced his actions to attack everyone which was what Loki wanted to escape. Hulk never hurts anyone who is innocent or not try to harm him or Banner since they share the same body. If you want to know more about The Avengers, the animated series: Avengers Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (2010-2013) is a amazing adaptation of the team and follow more closely to the source material.

[@kaliwali]

Thank you so much for the super! Glad you enjoyed my reaction! Also really enjoyed reading your breakdowns to my questions/confusion in this first film. Thank you!

[@deeesher]

A bit of background on Hulk: Banner was abused by his father as a child. When he got zapped by Gamma radiation, it created a sort of split personality. Other people have gotten hit with Gamma radiation, and it just intensifies their personalities (in most cases). But because Banner has so much rage inside him, this is how he is able to finally release it. He's spent his entire life trying to gain control. We saw him doing a bit of it with his meditation and the final scene at the end of the Incredible Hulk movie. In the comics, he's gone back and forth from having control to losing it. And typically he'll lose control by someone manipulating his mind.... kinda like how Loki was with the scepter.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

Funniest moment in the whole first Avengers movie is Loki getting ragdolled by Hulk. Even if I'm having a bad day, that moment never fails to make me laugh.

[@mikegoodwin2386]

And the call-back to that in a possible future movie 😄

[@robbob5302]

@@mikegoodwin2386 I missed that

[@charlesedwards2856]

The Hulk going off on people had always been because he was being chased or attacked, so the transformation was effectively an excessive fight or flight response. Banner remains somewhat in control of the Hulk and triggers the transformation when needed. But when it’s an involuntary triggering, you get full-on Hulk that can, maybe even will, kill people.

[@deeesher]

I remember when this movie was coming out, I kept saying it would NEVER work. I thought it would be focused on one hero (like Cap or Iron Man), and the other characters would be completely sidelined. I am so impressed how everyone seem to have their moment to shine, and this is absolutely one of my favorite movies. It's so beautifully written and directed, with scenes like the 'hero shot' in NY, and another shot where the camera followed the action through each of the heroes fighting without any edits. But one of my favorite scenes was with Black Widow and Banner where she confronts him to join. The subtext on this scene, and tension, with the performances from each is just brilliant.

[@davidcorriveau8615]

Avengers is a very good movie. I thought Marvel films would fail with the previous film, Captain America: First Avenger. After all for a lot of earlier Superhero films the SFX were not up to realistically depicting powers, time and the march of technology changed that. For Cap to work tho you have to believe Steve Rogers, skinny Steve, is possible...I didn't think they could do it...but when the Second Trailer for Cap Amer First Avenger hit I started to have hope. Captain America: Winter Soldier is my personal fave Marvel Film...but this one was in contention.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

*The Avengers Origin:* The Avengers first appeared in The Avengers #1 (1963), in a storyline where they came together to stop Loki, who had tricked the Hulk into destroying a New York City bridge. The heroes united to thwart Loki, leading to the formation of the team. The original comic lineup consisted of Ant-Man, Wasp, Thor, Iron Man, and Hulk, who joined forces after discovering Loki’s deception. Captain America would later join in Avengers #4 (1964), when the team found him frozen in ice. All of these characters were pre-existing in the Marvel Universe, brought together to form a team that would hopefully boost their popularity. The Avengers operated out of Avengers Mansion, which was introduced in The Avengers #2 (1963) and was formerly owned by Tony Stark’s family. Stark Tower, also called Avengers Tower, wasn’t introduced until The New Avengers #3 (2005). This tower became iconic following its depiction in The Avengers (2012) but for decades Avengers Mansion was the home of The Avengers, Unfortunately Avengers Mansion has yet to appear in the MCU. Originally, Ant-Man and Wasp were intended to appear in the MCU’s The Avengers (2012), but they were cut from the script due to the large number of characters. The screenwriters also decided to hold off on Ant-Man’s appearance until after his solo movie was released. As a result, Hawkeye and Black Widow were featured as key members of the team rather than just supporting characters. In the comics, both characters did become Avengers, but in 1964, they were initially introduced as villains working as double agents on opposing sides. *The Ultimates Origins:* In 2000, Marvel launched its Ultimate imprint, a new universe that re-imagined and updated its characters for the 21st century highlighting a more grounded superhero universe. The Ultimates, this universe’s version of The Avengers, first appeared in The Ultimates #1 (2002) using the same line-up of characters from the Mainline comics. The team was sanctioned by the President of the United States and operated as an elite government force under S.H.I.E.L.D., with Nick Fury as their leader. This version of the team was edgier and more mature, which garnered mixed reactions from readers at the time. It was also more connected to the government than the more independent mainline Avengers. The Ultimates first came together to battle an enraged Hulk in New York City, followed by an invasion by the Chitauri, which served as inspiration for the plot of The Avengers (2012). Although the Ultimate Universe was intriguing, it eventually fell apart due to controversial creative decisions and the negative reception of certain character depictions. However, Ultimate Spider-Man was widely praised. The Ultimate Universe was ultimately destroyed in 2015, and a few surviving characters were integrated into Marvel’s mainline universe. But the Ultimate universe very much inspired the tone of the MCU along with the idea of more grounded story-telling, combined with elements from the Mainline comics. The MCU is very much a hybrid of the mainline comics, the Ultimate comics, and its own unique spin on certain aspects. Though admittedly it's much closer to the Mainline comics, than the Ultimate comics.

Interesting. Thanks for posting this.

I always loved hulks roar after Tony Wakes up. Its like Hulk believes his roar is so mighty that it can wake the dead.

[@JustJDx]

Fun fact: there's a brief scene near the end of the film where a blonde girl is interviewed on camera because she was saved by Captain America during the invasion. That's Ashley Johnson, the actor who did the voice and motion capture for Ellie from The Last of Us.

[@Shadowpack95]

The horrible thing is even if the Nuke did hit the city, it wouldn't destroy the Portal device as the barrier was pure energy and therefore impenetrable. So the whole city and every Avenger would be dead and now the Chitauri would have a nice empty staging area for more forces.

[@jxy8938]

I think the secret to the hulk is that if he transforms because someone pissed him off, hes uncontrollable, hence why he went crazy on black widow, she basically lied to his face when they first interacted, saying no ones gonna put him in a cage even though there was a giant one there the whole time. If he transforms on his own, then he can control it

[@LifeisANovel]

That's was my thoughts. Similar to like things we think about or do during the day. You sleep and dream about it or sometimes you dream about things you thought you forgot. It's still there so I thought like hulk viewed her as a manipulator. Like the thought was definitely there even though it wasn't shown

[@SeedFactoryProject]

@5:05 - Fury is talking about SHIELD security levels. Only level 7 agents and above are cleared to know what he told them. @18:50 - "How does Loki know so much?" - He had taken over Barton's mind with his scepter (the stick with the jewel). Barton was a high level SHIELD agent and had lots of inside information. @22:28 - No, it is making them fight. The scepter can fully control a mind with a touch, but it can also influence them from a distance. From Barton's information, Loki knew he was no match for his brother plus all the heroes and tech Earth had. So his plan all along was to get caught and make them all fight each other while the Chitauri invaded and took over. Loki's fatal mistake was killing Coulson, who was friends with most of the Avengers and brought them together to avenge his death.

[@kwilson4565]

During the end credit shwarma scene you'll notice Chris Evans has his hand covering the lower half of his face. He had a beard for another role and had to hide it. That particular scene was shot literally a day or 2 before the film went out to theaters.

The Hulk is a manifestation of Rage from Fear and Doubt. The reason why Banner is sus is because of The Hulk’s insecurity in the face of Challenge. Standing in THAT circle he knows them, and Faces the ONLY challenge facing ALL of them. A dog barks to protect itself AND those at their side. 😌

[@Gizimpy]

Loki doesn't realize it, but when he says "look to your elder people, let him be your example" he's actually talking about both the old man and Cap. They each do what they should do in the same situation.

[@Scott-hc8om]

That old guy's lines strike a much deeper note in the real world, if you were as old as he was when he delivered them..

[@thecartoonrobot]

Think of Hulk like a toddler and a giant body. He’s very emotional and impulse driven. And when he’s in a fit, he can’t be reasoned with, and he doesn’t think straight. Toddlers will lash out, scream, break things, but they also care about the same people that they hit. He lashed out on the carrier because they had built a cage for him, and right before he changed. They were all having a heated argument, he was confused because things just started blowing up, and Banner was angry at them before he changed, that carries over. In New York, Banner changed on purpose, he wasn’t in a rage and Hulk respects Cap. He knows basic right from wrong, but he gets carried away in his emotions. Just like there is no reasoning with a toddler having a tantrum. They can’t regulate, but they aren’t in tantrum mode 24/7.

[@morahSDG]

Hulk and Banner's first transformation was triggered by an explosion, like others have stated. It was essentially triggering a large, scared, powerful beast in a new scary environment. Banner and Hulk have since found a way to work together and let Hulk "take control" with the relative risk being mitigated as Hulk can determine who are allies or not. But that's the tradeoff and risk: Immense unstoppable power, but a great deal of risk if he's set loose. Even the Hulk can't stop "HULK" from rampaging. Have fun with every movie going forward, it gets so much more heartfelt and crazy and fun from this point on!!

[@reggiebrown9508]

On the Helicarrier, ALL of them were being controlled by Loki through the scepter and all of them were bickering, distrusting and disgusted with each other. Captain America and Iron Man were preparing to come to blows. Hulk was even more susceptible in his Hulk form. That was what Loki was counting on.

[@Alfonso88279]

Think of the Hulk as a little child in this movie. If he awakens by surprise, forced to get out, then he will be like an angry kid, breaking stuff around. But if he is called carefully, in a time of need, then he will be easier to "control". He will act more rationally from our point of view.

[@jeffwontshutup]

I read my first Avengers comic in 1992 and this movie came out 20 years later in 2012 and it was everything I dreamed of. The only real change from the comics is the lineup. Hawkeye and Black Widow were later additions, the superheroes Ant-Man and the Wasp were in the comics original lineup. But it's a good change, both Hawkeye and Black Widow were longtime Avengers (both eventual team leaders) in the comics. Also one other slight change from the comics is Captain America was still in ice when the team was founded. Hulk ran away in the team's first official meeting (issue2), the Avengers chased him down in issue 3 as their first official outing but failed, and in issue 4 on their way home, they instead found frozen Cap. I think the film version is a tad stronger than the comics. I rewatch this at least once a year.

[@SouthernBelleX]

If you want to dive deeper into the Hulk, I can’t recommend The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes (2010) enough. The early episodes do a great job of introducing each member of the team, with Hulk getting his own dedicated episode that really breaks down his character. The show kicks off with episodes focusing on Iron Man, then Thor, followed by Hulk, Captain America, and Ant-Man and Wasp. It’s a fantastic way to get to know the heroes that the MCU may skip over due to focus on other characters, or the case of Hulk legal issues. Then there’s a two-part episode where these heroes come together and form the Avengers, a good two years before the movie. All these episodes are 26 mins so all together its around three hours. Season 1 has 19 more episodes, and then there’s Season 2 with 26 more episodes. Would be a fun reaction, even if you only do the first 7 episodes and see if you enjoy it. The show is on Disney Plus :)

Hey Kali, I do agree with you with Hulk being so controlled that he loses that beast like nature that fought to have calm or the touch of a woman. -------- It causes part of the empathetic pull you have for the Hulk to be faded. ------- He is their movie to make and we're just asking for the ride.

What you have to remember about Cap is that everything that happened to him... The world has a 70 year separation... He doesn't. He went under... Then woke up and immediately went back to war. All of those memories, everything that happened was days and weeks apart... As far as he's concerned, he just lost Bucky right before "bedtime"... He woke up in a new world... He's even wearing the same clothes in the gym that he was when he ran out into the street at the end of Captain America... He has no time separation from his feelings and trauma

[@TheCkent100]

In case you decide to watch "Agents of Shield", and I highly recommend that you do, here is how the show's episodes line up with the movies: "Iron Man 3" Season 1, Episodes 1-7 "Thor: The Dark World" Season 1, Episodes 8-16 "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" Season 1, Episodes 17-22 "Guardians of the Galaxy 1" & "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" (both happen within a short timespan, but there are several movies in between) Season 2, Episodes 1-19 "Avengers: Age of Ultron" Season 2, Episodes 20-22 "Ant Man" Season 3, Episodes 1-18 "Doctor Strange" Season 3, Episode 19 "Captain America: Civil War" Season 3, Episodes 20-22 "Thor: Ragnarok" Season 4, Episodes 1-22 "Black Panther" Season 5, Episodes 1-18 "Avengers: Infinity War" Season 5, Episodes 19-22 After this, the show and the MCU diverge. There are two more seasons (seasons 6 and 7) of 13 episodes each. I won't go into the politics within Disney / Marvel that was behind why the movies and the show diverged. Let's just say that after Season 1 of "Agents of Shield", Marvel's movie division shared less and less information with the television division. But it is generally agreed that the movies and "Agents of Shield" are connected through the end of season 5.

[@Educated2Extinction]

It was interesting that Tony described himself as a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist, then said that everything every special about Steve came out of a bottle. Tony's intelligence and wealth were inherited. His kidnapping changed him some, but he remains, by his own admission, a narcissist. What gave Steve powers came from a bottle, but what made him a superhero came from him. I wonder how Dr Erskine would have evaluated Tony's worthiness for the serum.

[@commonstragedy]

Good catch on the shield being vibranium. Most people forget and call BS on the shield being able to withstand Thor's hammer..

[@aaronbeatdown]

Fans were so upset about the loss of Coulson that a hashtag trended for a little while to save him. That's why we have Agents of Shield. And the show does explain what happened and how he's back. Banner distrusts SHIELD, and so when everything pops off on the helicarrier, that's why he sorta freaks out, and why he also tries attacking Natasha.

Just make sure you keep track of the release dates of the episodes and movies so that you understand what they're tying into. There's also a ridiculous amount of other shows in the MCU, but Agents of Shield was the first one and the biggest one.

[@c1ph3rpunk]

Agent Hill is awesome, she’s arguably 2nd in command of SHIELD, why she never got an origin story movie is beyond me. Thor v. Iron Man, Thor v. Hulk, it’s kind of a theme, boys will be boys as Natasha would say. I also think now is about the time that if you’re going to watch Agents of SHIELD, the tv show, you should start it. Check my math though, but it’s about this time they started to line that up with the movies. Tahiti is a magical place.

In Avengers, Stark, knowing that he would probably die after going through the portal, when he was unable to call Pepper, made Jarvis project an image of her in front of him for his last moments. Love in the UCM is very well handled in these moments and impacts even more on the feeling we have that that character is leaving

[@ookook1331]

to answer your question about the hulk character, the short answer to why he went from enemy to ally is :Lokis scepter

[@jamesodonnell3636]

"Who's Phil? Ohh... I love that they're doing this for Phil."

[@axelnilsson5124]

It’s usually the other way around for comedic effect

[@AntoineRideaux-wd1zk]

Fun fact . The area that was destroyed at the beginning of the movie was a school in New Mexico that was going to be torn down to make a new school so when Disney was looking for a place to blow up in the movie in New Mexico they found out about the school and gave the school district money 2 use the school as the place that was going to get blown up

[@axelnilsson5124]

They actually blew up a building?

[@PixelChonk]

Yeah the hulk character changes a lot as banner works on it, basically at this point the rage hulk and the intentional hulk (which they teased at the end of the hulk movie) are different, rage hulk is technically stronger but is uncontrollable, where as intentional hulk, while a separate entity from banner, and pretty dumb, is reasonable and can be worked with etc

[@Avalon1951]

Just an aside, in 1997 there was an article in popular mechanics where they were trying to put that same reflective camouflage on a fighter but it would require too much power to operate.

[@Fonny222]

I always use that Hulk like but for food. Whenever someone asks if I’m hungry “That’s my secret, I’m always hungry”

[@gabriel812]

When thinking of The Hulk and Banner it’s better to think of it as DID than as Jekyll and Hyde. The comics go way more in depth into the DID concept

[@Aditya-mv4rq]

Hulk mood depends when he changes by himself, he can control himself, but if he was forced with angry he could lose its mind.

[@Skylaman]

46:25 *Hiddleston. Wrong super hero…. lol 🕷️ Really enjoyed this reaction! Glad you enjoyed phase 1!

[@paigenoelle02]

I thought I was the only one that noticed that😭

[@DavidSmith-mt7tb]

This movie had everyone eating shawarma after. Probably the biggest bump Mediterranean food has ever gotten. You should definitely try it.

[@pmh2390]

you really have to watch Agents of Shield to find out what happens to Phil Coulson but I will say Tahiti is a magical place

[@lotus8709]

The first of the Marvel movies I watched! Looking forward to the upcoming movies!

[@johnobrien7562]

so not too long after this movie, there was a show on ABC, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, starring Clark Gregg (Phil Coulson).

[@Aditya-mv4rq]

Thank you for making more than 45 min video ❤. Always love your reaction 💕

[@peterkoester7358]

45:49 Marvel comics are famous for their heroes fighting one another as much if not more than fighting against their villains. The films just follow the same formula.

[@danielhead8123]

Mark ruffalo is the first actor to play hulk and banner through performance capture unlike actirs in the past

[@HammerdWalrus]

People always understandably think Hawkeye's just a really good archer, and he is, but he's much more. He always hits his mark unless the target moves or it's to trick them. He also has a superpower, he has the ability to see waaaay farther than the average human. Idk if he can "zoom-in" for lack of a better word, but he can make stuff out a long ways away.

[@crossbones13]

35:48 "How is Hulk just, like, chilling now also? I don't know. I'm struggling with the Hulk character _(laughing)_ in this movie. Like, he's taking orders. He's not just randomly going after them. He knows that they're good so why did that entire thing with Black Widow even happen? But, it is what it is. If he's always angry, then he should be able to control it, right?" At the end of _The Incredible Hulk_ movie, it showed Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) learning to control his change into the Hulk. It should have also been fairly obvious in the SHIELD helicarrier scene between all the Avengers and Nick Fury when they were arguing that their emotions were being manipulated by Loki's scepter (and by extension, Loki) with the heavy camera focus on the scepter and the upside down camera angle on it as all the voices were being drowned out by the sound the scepter was making. The Hulk in particular was most susceptible to the scepter's manipulation due to his primitive mind. During the battle of New York, Hulk was free of the scepter's influence so therefore returned to is "normal" thought processes where he can distinguish between friends (like Betty Ross) and enemies (like Thunderbolt Ross).

Kids, in the summer of 2012, your Aunt Robin joined The Avengers.

[@brandonramirez273]

Good Morning Kali…I enjoyed your reaction to The Avengers. This has to be one of my favorite marvel films. Can’t wait to see what movie will you react to next from the MCU. Keep up the amazing work and you’re close to 27k subs. You deserve it and here’s to many more. Have a good day and enjoy your Monday. 👍💯

[@JarofMayonaise]

The staff contains an infinity stone and manipulates the people around it to sort of hate and mistrust. I don't know if the infinity stone does that naturally or the staff can program it to mind control and stuff though, but I believe the staff causes those effects and not the stone. Each stone is supposed to do the bidding/wishes of it's holder. A little bit more will be explained in Guardians of the Galaxy.

[@secretweapon7764]

Phil Coulson is a main character for the Agents of Shield Series. In later episodes you find out more about he aliens that are out there waiting to be met.

[@shawnpatrick1877]

Banner has multiple personalities and there are different levels of understanding, intelligence and anger when he's the Hulk. It's always been that way going back to the comics in the 1960s. He was never meant to be a superhero, but more like an old-school tragedy character like Jekyll and Hyde. He's sometimes a hero, but he's more often an anti-hero or an outright threat to society. The first time the character was used as an outright superhero was at the very beginning of the first Avengers comics, but he soon went back to being crazy and dangerous. There's always a hint that the Hulk is more intelligent and reasonable when Banner's personality is somewhat in control of him. In this case, Banner changed on purpose and not because he went into a sudden rage out of nowhere, meaning he's more in control. His two dominant personalities are working together in this case. The Hulk is usually childlike while also being angry and having god-like strength, making him always dangerous. But he can also be reasoned with, at least to some extent.

[@matthewdunham1689]

The scepter was influencing all of the Avengers but especially the Hulk. That's why Loki let himself be captured.

[@David-bf2cg]

Now is the perfect time to watch Agents of Shield. It is a spin off from this movie, and one character in this movie is the lead of that show, wont say who because of spoilers but yeah. It ties into and explains a bit of some upcoming movies too. Fantastic show, highly recommend.

[@axelnilsson5124]

And it’s ultimately not canon

[@Nick-kb2jc]

To this day, 12 years later, still the best theater experience I’ve ever had.

[@CraftsWithCrafts]

There is no backstory on Budapest, but Hawkeye got his own limited series and Black Widow got her own movie...YAY!

[@clarkbarrett6274]

RE: got her own movie...YAY!...which has backstory on Budapest

[@overfiend1978]

Thanks for persevering against the issues to provide the reaction, it is appreciated, i hope you are able to find a system that allows less hassle for you in future, take care
