Line 2:
=== [[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Marvel comic book]] ===
* [[Author Appeal]]: George Perez designed a [http://sarcasm-hime.net/wanda-ref.jpg new costume] for the Scarlet Witch, which reveals that she does not wear panties. He has stated that she is [[Perverse Sexual Lust|his favorite character]].
* [[
** Earlier than that, ''Avengers Forever'' was meant as an Author's Saving Throw for the reviled "Crossing" arc, and along the way it simplified the Kang/Immortus connection so that future writers would not have to worry about it. [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome|Not that future Avengers writers have made use of Immortus anyway]], and Kang was killed off by the next writer to use him.
*** Avengers: The Children's Crusade full-stop.
* [[Broken Base]]: The fan base is pretty much irreversibly split on [[Brian Michael Bendis]]' contributions to the franchise, let alone the [[John Byrne]] Avengers West Coast run.
* [[
* [[Downer Ending]]:
** Vision Quest
Line 21:
** For [[Iron Man (Comic Book)|Iron Man]], both his alcoholism and [[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]].
** For [[Ant Man|Hank Pym]], [[Domestic Abuse|smacking Jan]] during a drug-addled [[Freak Out]].
* [[One
{{quote| '''Pilot Marko:''' [http://www.cosmiccomix.com/wp-content/uploads/SecretAvengers17_Marko.jpg Yes! Pilot Marko shoots stupid Yankee zillion-dollar plane right in its stupid bluddy face! Where is your bluddy Steve Jobs tricknology now, Rich Yankee Pigs with your tight pants?]<br />
'''Valkyrie:''' ''(activates Extreme Separation Protocol)''<br />
Line 29:
* [[Protection From Editors]]: [[Brian Michael Bendis]], whose tenure on the title has seen him being able to do as he pleases, which has not been received favorably by all.
** This has changed though, if Avengers Vs X-Men, Siege, The Heroic Age relaunch of the classic adjectiveless Avengers book, and "Avengers: The Children's Crusade" are any indication.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] Basically every single line-up change in the fluid roster has gotten some criticism, but [[Brian Michael Bendis]]' reboot and [[Mark Millar]]'s [[Revision|revisioning]] stand out in terms of negative feedback.
* [[The Woobie]]: The Hulk.
Line 38:
** The short appearance of Loki's motif from a [[The Ring of the Nibelung|certain famous opera]] deserves special mention for [[Music of Note|being meta]] ''and'' super-awesome.
* [[Catharsis Factor]]: {{spoiler|[[Metronomic Man Mashing|The Hulk smacking Loki around.]]}} After seeing the latter spend the entire movie being a bastard--{{spoiler|and especially his callous murder of Agent Coulson}}--this was quite satisfying.
* [[
* [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Crowning Trailer Of Awesome]]:
** Shown as [[The Stinger]] to ''[[Captain America the First Avenger]]''. It's as awesome as one would think, and then some.
Line 93:
** "His name is/was Phil."
* [[Music to Invade Poland To]]: ''Technically,'' Loki's invading ''Germany'', and only as a distraction. Still, two seconds after he starts a buttkicking rampage set to the tunes of [[Richard Wagner]], he's pretty accurately compared to Hitler.
* [[Narm]]: The UK's [[Market
* [[One
* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: The Hulk. Two previous attempts to bring the character to the cinema screen proved somewhat lackluster (middling box-office gross, lukewarm reviews), the role [[The Other Darrin|got recast]] once again, and the character had already developed a reputation of being the most boring of the team. However, a combination of Mark Ruffalo's acting and clever screenwriting turned The Hulk into an [[Ensemble Darkhorse|unexpected favorite]] of the movie, making the possibility of a new Hulk film much more likely. Might be one of the fastest turnaround times for this ever. Shortly before release producer Kevin Feige said there were no plans for a Hulk movie. Shortly after release, it was let slip that a Hulk movie may be in development for 2015 and that Mark Ruffalo had signed on for six more films.
* [[Special Effects Failure]]: Minor one, repeatedly after the scenes once they're on the helicarrier, the arc reactor's light is not visible through Tony Stark's shirt when it should be. It comes and goes.
* [[Take That]]:
** The album of [[Alan Silvestri]]'s score (as opposed to the song album - of which exactly ''one'' track is in the film). How can a soundtrack be a [[Take That]], you ask? Well, soundtrack fans have long complained about digital releases having extra material not on the CD (most recently with Silvestri's ''[[Captain America:
* [[Too Cool to Live]]: {{spoiler|Agent Coulson.}}
* [[Villain Decay]]: Loki isn't ''quite'' as menacing as he was in ''Thor'', [[Evil Is Cool|but he's still]] [[Faux Affably Evil|a lot of fun to watch.]]
