/ May 12, 2012Finally getting to see The Avengers this afternoon!
Angela Quarles
/ May 12, 2012Yay! Are you seeing it in 3D?

/ May 12, 2012Adore the mashup. That smug look is perfect for Tony Stark, not so sure about Cap, and Thor is such a happy little camper! [I have to admit, though, throughout I was rooting for Loki].

Jami Gold
/ May 12, 2012Yes, loved Avengers! I want to see it again. So many little details that made it awesome.
One thing I noticed was when Agent “Phil” was killed, he told Fury what to do–how to use his death to bring the team together. Then when Fury lied to CA and Stark with the cards, we didn’t hate him for being manipulative. We *knew* that’s what Phil wanted. A great example of showing motivation to forgive sins.
Thanks for the link too!
