*THE HYPE IS REAL!!* The Avengers (2012) Reaction: FIRST TIME WATCHING

It’s easy to take for granted now, but getting all these characters together was so unprecedented and new, that it really was mind-blowing! Exciting new territory in cinema, and only the start of what the MCU was about to pull off!

Dude, it's crazy having started reading the comics In the 70's and seeing it all progress so much through the CGI...it was kinda painful for the first few movies but it's gotten awesome...just like playing Dungeons and dragons back then and seeing the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter today..it's really amazing 👍a total trip.

Most score enthusiasts, and in particular Silvestri fans like myself, weren't all that impressed with the Avengers score at the time it came out compared to his fantastic, past work, and many of it's themes had to be worked through repetition over the course of the Marvel films to earn their place.

1) "dost mother know, you weareth her drapes?" ad-lib by RDJ, you can see the smirk on Hemsworth's face 2) "That man is playing Galaga!" another RDJ ad-lib They added the Galaga screen in post production 3) Tony's bag of blueberries - RDJ hid snacks on the set, so many in fact that the crew couldn't find them all 4) Tony's Arc Reactor - Howard Stark found the formula for the "new Element" by studying the Tesseract, it produces the same type of energy as the scepter and the tesseract, that's why it canceled out the scepter's brainwashing ability 5) Shawarma - RDJ spotted a Shawarma joint near where they were filming and ad-lib'd the line into the movie. They filmed the end credits scene well after production, so much that Chris Evans was growing a beard for another movie. The number of Shawarma lookups on google went up like 700% after this movie hit theaters 6) The Waitress - There is a deleted scene with her and Steve, she gets to know him a bit. That's why her other scenes seem more important than they actually are

Nick and Quynh find joy in the after-credits' light, their laughter echoes as they discuss the film’s delight. Quynh admired the heroes' growth from clash to bond, while Nick felt the portrayal of Hulk was truly fond. Quynh notes Hulk's depth, from scientist to fierce might, Nick reflects on the realism of each hero's fight. They mourn Coulson's loss, a sorrow they both share, and ponder Fury's schemes, a morally gray affair. Quynh felt Thor’s might was less than she had thought, Nick saw Iron Man’s humor, the best moments they sought. Their dialogue dances through their favorite parts, from the laughter shared to the poignant moments that touch hearts.

[@navy0287]

A lot of people miss a lot of detail in that media sequence at the end. They show positive responses to the Avengers, they show people who are concerned about all the things going on, they show a memorial for the dead and missing, and they show a politician who wants to hold the Avengers accountable for the situation. The seeds were already being sown for a storyline where the government would want to place restrictions on the Avengers, and conflicts relating to this, if they wanted to use it. Ironically, years later, we get a payoff of sorts with Captain America: Civil War.

Before anyone comes for me, I'm aware of the crap Joss has pulled on various sets and am not touting him as a good person. Just saying he's great at bringing a well picked cast together and making awesome art with them.

[@JordiVanderwaal]

Joss Whedon is the creator of Buffy (among other shows). He also had his first attempt at Age of Ultron in one early Buffy episode (titled I Robot... You Jane) (when you get to that movie, you'll probably see the similarities), and Buffy as a show influenced a lot of supernatural and sci-fi shows that came after it. And in my opinion, it influenced the MCU as well (the world-building, storytelling, big bads, and all that stuff).

[@dunringill1747]

GREAT REACTION! Joss Whedon's 'unfinished symphony' would be TV series 'Firefly', followed by 'The River Tam Sessions' & the movie 'Serenity' for the film finish. - LOKI'S PLAY: Loki wanted to be captured. His scepter was affecting their minds & causing aggravation. He wanted the Hulk to destroy the SHIELD Helicarrier & keep the Avengers from working as a team. Loki failed on both counts.

[@jacobcostanza2772]

I think the director said that when Hulk punched Thor it was more playful as to suggest that the Hulk has a more fun side to him. At the end of The Incredible Hulk, Bruce said he couldn't control the Hulk but he could "aim" it and in that scene with Natasha he was aiming his anger at her and even implied he was going to willingly transform and smash her. This was because of Loki's Septer. Also at the end of The Incredible Hulk Banner found out how to transform at will which is how he does so later on in the movie. Everyone was saying how much of a grip Bruce had on the Hulk and it was because of the last movie as we see he is interacting with people more and is more confident in the Hulk, but is still weary not to use him.

This wasn’t his first movie. Serenity from the Firefly series was long before this. Whedon also did Cabin in the Woods before this movie. Chris Hemsworth was in it.

[@jackoca4905]

Also also to add on they didnt carry much from the standalone hulk movie but basically hulk and banner hate each others guts and want to be rid of each other but cant leave, the hulk is the manifestation of bruces repressed rage and trauma (drunk daddy killed mommy when he was a boy) the hulks power is limited only by banners hold on him which is why its soo very important for banner to keep a grip on his anger else hulk could walk and there'd be earthquakes on the otherside of earth

I wonder if he’d be able to escape by breaking the floor beneath. 38:04 they told the pilot not to get close. 43:15 she needs to watch “Agents of Shield”. 44:10 Harry Dean Stanton 45:30 the Hulk really shook her up. 46:53 well remember Coulson said that it wasn’t going to work if they didn’t have something to rally around. So he was ok with dying if it meant bringing the Avengers together. 54:48 love Stark’s nicknames for people. 55:44 that sound effect of that craft crashing is the same sound as the pod racers in Star Wars episode 1. 57:17 the whole theater roared with laughter. The Hulk has to be the strongest so he had to be the only one left standing no matter what. Also the Hulk wasn’t finished with their earlier fight on the helicarrier. 58:38 this was the other time the theater was roaring with laughter. 58:57 just wait till you see “Thor: Ragnarok”. 59:14 the blast from Tony trying to destroy the machine gave the doctor a cognitive recalibration. 1:03:54 the Shawarma line was improvised by RDJ. He was supposed to just say “What’s next?” but it didn’t sit well so they rewrote it. 1:06:43 if you watch the original hulk series with Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno that’s how Bixby acted. 1:07:17 they filmed this months after wrapping. Chris Evans had a beard that he couldn’t shave and it cost too much to cgi it out so he didn’t get to eat and had to use his hand to hide the bad prosthetic they tried using.

Joss Whedon also wrote the series "Firefly" and its related movie "Serenity" . You really need to watch that series if you haven't.

[@jonathon9581]

Look up the show Agents of Shield, i'm not sure where it falls in the marvel timeline because it was a series but it'll give you some answers about Agent Colson

[@russellwood8750]

When Hulk attacked the black widow on the helicarrier it was because he was under the influence of Loki. When Hulk punched Thor in Grand Central Station, it wasn’t an attack or a loss of control. It was more like a punch you would give your friend in the shoulder. Good job, brother. The problem is the Hulk is very strong and it sent Thor flying. That’s why it’s funny.

[@williambanks2223]

Plus, it was payback for hitting him with his hammer on the helicarrier.

The moment Tony entered through the portal he passed out cause his suit wasn't exactly designed to go deep space. There was no life support system built in that would activate in an environment devoid of any air or atmosphere.

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

Loki and his Army all work for THANOS. Remember this in every Marvel movie after this.

[@user-blob]

Fantastic reaction! Looking forward to the next one 👍🏼

Joss Whedon's first movie was Toy Story. He wrote the screenplay.

[@SwiftFoxProductions]

"I don't know if [Joss Whedon] had done any movies before this..." He had, actually! Not many, though. As a director, he had only directed "Serenity" (the movie version of his TV series "Firefly"), which he also wrote. That movie is amazing, by the way, and you guys would love it! (FYI: watching "Firefly" beforehand is a plus but, not a requirement). Honestly, I can definitely understand why Marvel would feel confident hiring him as a writer/director after seeing his directorial work in "Serenity", along with his pre-existing "Buffy" resume. Also, just as a screenwriter, before this Whedon had co-written the horror-comedy "Cabin in the Woods" and the original "Toy Story"!😳He, also, had a bit of a reputation as a movie "script doctor" aka the guy who comes in & "fixes" scripts that need a little help but, won't get full screenwriter credit. So, he definitely had more movie experience as a writer than he did as a director.

[@ccthomas]

I must respectfully disagree that you don't need to watch Firefly before Serenity. I mean, yes, he supplies enough context and exposition to understand the setting and who the characters are, and enjoy the rest of the movie. But the emotional impact is so much stronger once you've been able to dive deep into who they are and the journey that got them there.

[@miller-joel]

You can also find him in the MeToo saga.

[@ReelMeurik]

Hulk randomly punching Thor, I always felt was the Hulk getting back at Thor for the earlier fight between the two of them. In a "fun" way :P

[@thetruej7872]

2012 is one of my favorite years of superhero movies. Amazing Spider-Man, Dark Knight Returns, and especially The Avengers. Oh good times.

[@ThunderForce2000]

Glad to know I’m not the only one who enjoys all three of those films.

[@josefhorndl3469]

So true. I watched all three in theater. What a time for an old comic veteran, who's reading Marvel, DC & everything available since the 1960s. Greetings from Germany.

[@godabandonedthistimeline]

It's Dark Knight Rises, not Returns

[@AstoriaHestia]

Well I'm very sure the MCU is not goinig this way but in the comics, Hulk is nearly unbeatable and in one of the last part of this story, he is still there when the time and with it the universe ends. Because his selfhealing is so ridiculous strong, he can't age anymore. But I love the way Mark Ruffalo is playing the Hulk/Bruce Banner. Fun fact: the blueberrys or nealry EVERY food/drink RDJ is eating/drinking wasn't part of the skript. he just wanted to snack something while filming the scenes xD So the shawarma scene in the end was more a gag because of RDJ behaviour^^

[@quwykxz]

Do you remember that waitress who kept looking at Cap, and then showed up in a news interview after the battle? She's played by Ashley Johnson, and Ashely is also one of the cast of incredibly talented voice actors in the animated show "The Legend Of Vox Machina", which I hope you guys do a reaction to at some point, because it is an excellent show that I believe you guys would really enjoy!

[@bms31418]

Now watch Marvels Agents of Shield

[@thedoctor4327]

This came out in a rough time of my life (just lost my best friend from high school) and it cheered me up immensely seeing one of my favorite comic book teams together on the big screen and the audience loving it. Future Avenger movies might be seen as more epic but this first movie always has a special place in my heart (and Hulk smashing Loki will never not make me chuckle).

[@mandySIMS6319]

Best couple reactors, too adorable and I really love your reactions! ❤

[@nickreacts6394]

Thanks so much!

[@Mar-op2sd]

I love watching you guys.
