The post credits scene was just plain awesome. X3 It took me a second to get it, but yeah, one of the best ever. The movie had good humur, like said. :3 Though, what is sticking with me most is not knowing who the hell that guy at the end of the mid credits scene is supposed to be...

His name is Thanatos, according to the friends I saw the movie with. And, like Terro said, he's supposed to be some huge, super-important villain.

Terro - Not sure if there's going to be a Hawkeye movie, but I've heard rumors of a Black Widow movie.

Holy Cheese and BACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONBACONs... it looks like Iam going to have A LOT of movies to watch... O_O

And yeah, I looked it up. :3 But thank you both for telling me. ...Damn, I do not know how this movie sucked me in like it did, but now I really want to get into this whole series. X3 Well, I have been more excitable recently.

[conurebleu]

Two of my people were panicking at the end seeing Thanos XD, I heard it's not Thanatos but Thanos. I should check the Marvel Book RPG

[Dusty Starr]

I have heard both Thanos and Thanatos... and I do not know the difference. X3

I have watched Captain America and Ironman in the mean time. :3 Both were very good. Next up will either be Ironman 2 or Thor, and The Incredile Hulk will probably be last. Unless people here think I should watch them in a different order?

Also, so, The Incredible Hulk movie IS in this canon? But not Hulk (which I actually liked...)?

[Terro]

I think the best viewing order (for all of them) to watch the chronological to when they were filmed: Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America. Makes sense to me at least, especially with Captain America being seen last, since I think Avengers takes place a little bit after that one ends. But with where you are now, I'd actually suggest doing Incredible Hulk first (it is good! Edward Norton is awesome!) then Iron Man 2, then Thor.

As for Incredible Hulk being canon, it sure is. The first Hulk (I actually remember dissliking it when watching it in theatres, but I did pick it up on blu ray for like $8, so I should give it another go...) was infamous for turning out to be... not a hit. So, Marvel did what they do best when they put out a flop: REBOOT IT!! This one did much better, and leads to Avengers as well. Each one of those movies in the chain of movies, has Nick Fury attempting to recruit the crew (mostly after the credits).

i wanta watch the avengers so bad but i'm so cheap to spent 10 bucks on it >

[Terro]

Priority is what you value the most. I'll say right now that if you can afford to go and have the $10, just do yourself a favor and go You will NOT regret it!! (Also, I'm wanting this to knock Avatar out of 1st place in Box Office records >_>)

I saw The Avengers at midnight. ^^ While I know next to nothing about the Marvel comics universe [I don't dislike comics, and I'd love to read more, but where do you start in such an expansive continuity with YEARS and YEARS worth of material?! ;-; I'm overwhelmed!!] and only saw Thor and Captain America, I REALLY loved it. Loki is a good villain, and all of the cast had such personality. It made the 2 hours just fly on by! :]

Also, all I know about the villain in the credits [since Boyfriend almost had a heart attack when he came on screen XD] is apparently one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe...o: Dun dun dun. Boyfriend was freaking out on how they could possibly manage to make the movie and have him be defeated lol.

I also saw Hunger Games as well, and while I think some things were GREAT about it [We get to see the Game Makers! And the District 11 revolt! In real time!] I think you lost a lot from not being "in Katniss' head," so to speak. :< Some events are much more clear and just... More interesting I guess you could say. :P Heh.

As for other movies? I went all the way out of state to see the Road Tour for "The Devil's Carnival," a short film by the people who did that sort of cult-hit-horror-rock-opera "Repo! The Genetic Opera." Good, but not as good as Repo. And before that, I saw "The FP" which is so bad, it transcended bad and moved into "Oh my goodness this is the most fun I've had at the movies in so long!" I just pre-ordered the special edition of it on Blu-Ray tonight. :x

I'm sort of a big movie person too, in addition to a big game person. >w>

Heavens no. xD I love "so bad they're good" movies [PARTICULARLY monster movies! Sharktopus, Two-Headed Shark Attack, Piranha 3D, gracious..the list goes on] but I think Battleship is, ah, a bit too much for me. ;p Or as I call it "Transformers 4: WITH BOATS!1!!!" ;p

There are definitely some summer-movies I want to see, but I think right now my MOST ANTICIPATED movie is....Frankenweenie. Yep. The original short was one of my FAVORITES as a kid, and my first Tim Burton movie. xD I'm dying to see it. :x I don't think I ever quite "grew up," as I still have a soft spot for animated films. On that note, Brave looks pretty awesome too.
