Hi everyone! Big apologies for missing the mid-credit scene where Thanos is introduced. I have seen it now and am very excited to learn more about his character and how he plays into everything! :) I’m aware that most of the movies moving forward will in fact have 2 or more post-credit scenes lol! Thank you all so much for watching and hope you stick around for my next MCU reaction, Iron Man 3 ❤

if no one's mentioned it, the Old man who refuses to kneel to Loki is really symbolic/important. He is an old german man, and the quote Loki: "You will always kneel" /Old man: "Never to men like you" is him directly comparing Loki's actions to that of Hitler. It's such good writing.

Fun Fact: the reason Hawkeye is used as a villain for the first part of the movie is most likely a reference to his comic book counterpart being a supervillain for a while. Hawkeye was originally a villain who worked with Black Widow (also a villain at the time). Eventually he got tired of being a bad guy and decided to join the Avengers.

It doesn't matter HOW many times I've seen the movie, seeing Loki get ragdolled by Hulk is always a laugh riot.

Since you love Couslon so much, you absolutely have to watch Agents of Shield if you haven't already. It's timeline starts soon after this movie and it's major thing is that Coulson is still alive. He's one of the lead characters in the show and he gets his own special team of Agents. The whole first season revolves around the mystery of why and how he's alive after what happened to him here. It's really good and Coulson finally gets to be the big hero.

Both Jeremy Renner and Coby Smulders have been praised in special features for their athletic abilities in these movies.

"This was never gonna work, unless they had something to...AVENGE"

I’m SO happy whenever I see how much you like Captain America. He’s literally my favorite hero and not because of his abilities but his character tbh. He gets a lot of hate imo because people like to associate him with being old fashioned / goody two shoes, or some just like to hate on anything associated with the US 💀. But he’ll always be the FIRST avenger.

Loki in the comics is actually the one to bring The Avengers together. Loki had control over the Hulk who went on a rampage throughout New York leading to The Avengers coming together to fight for the first time. The roster though is different with the members being Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Antman, and The Wasp. Both Black Widow and Hawkeye were villains at the time in the eyes of the reader while Captain America wasn't discovered until later when The Avengers themselves came across Cap frozen in the ice. Same with the Ultimate Universe (Started in 2000 as a reimagined and moderized universe where Marvel could start from the beginning for a new generation) as well where Hulk went on a rampage when he discovered that Betty was on a date with the actor Freddie Prince Jr going on a Ramage throughout New York and killing alot of innocent people. The Ultimate's are sent in made up of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Antman, and The Wasp. In the Ultimate Universe the Avengers are known as The Ultimate's and act closer to an elite group of Shield working closer with the Government rather than for themselves.

So Ashley Johnson's role seems really random but she's in 2-4 deleted scenes that helped explain it.

4:16 about a year 13:57 You’ll notice after a big fight or something Tony’s next suit is upgraded to defend against/utilize what it couldn’t before. It’s pretty great to see it subtly played out every time 15:15 Me 23:57 no, you’re not 29:32 Same. Was my ringtone for the longest time😅 31:30 Why yes, yes it is 36:01 Fun Fact: Chris Evans was filming Snowpiercer at the time they filmed this end scene, and he had a full beard grown out. That is why he is covering his face in this scene. He does have a skin makeup on the sideburns to make it more believable

YES!! Love this movie and the amount of quotable moments and just how groundbreaking it was at the time. Glad to finally see your reaction to it!!

If you have time, maybe try Agents of Shield. The action starts a short while after the events of The Avengers - which are referenced once or twice. 😉

Fun fact this film made The Avengers household names along with the whole build up to this film starting with Iron Man and the mention of the Avengers by Nick Fury. Before this the X-Men were far more well known from the 1980s comics along with New Mutants to the amazing X-Men Animated show in the 1990s and the X-Men films from the early 2000s. No one really wanted the rights to characters like Ironman, Captain America, Antman, etc. Hulk was really the only well known member thanks to the 1970s Hulk show and the 2003 film but beyond this no one really put too much focus on The Avengers. I even remember watching the Marvel cartoons in the 1990s and the Avengers were always side background characters in other hero's shows like Spider-Man and Fantriasic Four. Iron Man and Hulk both had a cartoon but Captain America was just kinda in the background in a few episodes or teamed up with Wolverine in the X-Men show. So yeah it's pretty amazing how well known The Avengers became after this film. In terms of DC The Justice league were far more well known by the mainstream audience as most of their main roster had shows or movies from Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash etc. Then the whole DC Animated Universe in the 1990s that gave birth to the Justice League shows in the 2000s a decade before The Avengers films. DC did try to catch up with Marvel but it was rushed and we had Man of Steel and straight into Batman VS Superman, Wonder Woman etc, and then Justice League with very little build up.

Another One Shot! Excellent! "The Avengers" still ranks as my top two MCU movies (Number 1 flips between this and another upcoming movie). *FYI Loki's Play:* Everyone was arguing with each other because Loki's scepter was putting out a signal designed to aggravate anyone nearby. It was meant for Dr. Banner (unleash the Hulk), but it turned out to be somewhat effective on Steve & Tony as well. Thanks to how the team handled things, a brainwashed Hawkeye did more damage to the SHIELD Helicarrier than Hulk. People often underestimate what Hawkeye can do.

Cap's shield was never upgraded or improved ever since its creation during his fights in WW2 with Hydra. Vibranium is just that good

Something I always liked with how they wrote Ironman. Every scene with him where you think "well, that sucks" gets revisited with suit upgrades. Like when he falls from Stark tower or gets caught in the propeller.

"I refuse to believe that he's gonna die " , yeah about that , you gotta watch agents of shield now

Yes, that was indeed Ashley Johnson. There's a mid-credits scene you may have missed that basically reveals the being that Loki was working for.

One of my favorite moments , when capt telling tony that he's not the sacrificing himself type of guy but at the he did sacrifice himself. Literally proving him wrong real quick.

Nah, Mark Ruffalo is the best Hulk. Haven’t heard any negative comments on him. They casted everyone excellently. I love Loki as well!

Both are good actors. Both played "Bruce" well. However, Ed's "Hulk" CGI face looked odd. Mark's "Hulk" CGI looks almost exactly like "The Hulk" in the comics. That's the main difference.

Great reaction, love that you're including One-Shots! Have fun on your MCU journey, can't wait to watch!

This one was great, bringing the MCU experiment of a shared cinematic universe into full bloom! And Steve Rogers coughed up that 10 bucks real quick ;)

A little side note here with Ashley Johnsons part as the café waitress. People thought she was shown a lot for an extra. But in a deleted scene where we saw Steve Rogers before Fury went to get him, he was at a table at her café. She had chemistry with Steve and Stan Lee playing another customer told him to ask for her number. But that scene was cut.

It was strange watching Edward Norton in the second Hulk movie, after Eric Bana was Hulk in the first one, and was great in the role. I think Mark Ruffalo is excellent in the Hulk role, and has had the role in all these newer Marvel movies, so I almost forget the other two

"Is that Ashley Johnson?!" It absolutely is. She was cast in a minor role that got severely cut back in the final edit, but I think you can see more of it in the official Deleted Scenes.

That is Ashley Johnson. They show her a few times cause she was supposed to have a larger subplot but it was cut.

This is just the beginning it’ll be exciting to see your reaction to the rest of the series. Only gets better from here

Luckily (or unluckily, depends on your opinion) Loki gets written as more of an Anti-hero in the future, and he gets a bit more likable in a way (yay, redemption arc!)

Ed Norton was rumored to be terrible on the set of The Incredible Hulk. There was no way they were keeping him as that character.

Wait till the Endgame !!

Crying over Coulson’s death is a rite of passage. It’s how we leveled up!

My new favorite reaction channel👍. Great content, looking forward to watching all the marvel movies on here🙌

Various Fun Facts; if you notice, Tony is munching on some dried fruit snacks in one scene, and offers some to Banner. In reality, RDJ loved to squirrel snacks all over the sets, so Whedon decided to work that into the movie. Tony's new suit includes shoulder thrusters, so he could hover like in the comics. Whedon said he didn't want Iron Man "flying around like Tinker Bell," so the should jets were added to the new suit. They were jettisoned when he ran out of energy re-routing the nuke. The main reason Tony was originally so antagonistic to Cap goes back to his daddy issues. Recall when he claimed his father never said he loved him, or even liked him? Apparently Howard Stark went on & on about Captain America to his son, who (I suspect) became subconsciously jealous. Ruffalo was the first actor to wear a motion capture suit, so the Hulk was based on his movements. They also made his face a lot more like Ruffalo. The voice was a combination of Ruffalo and Lou Ferrigno. Notice that when Thor first went to retrieve his hammer after escaping the "death room," he hesitated. My interpretation is that he was momentarily worried that he was no longer worthy to pick up the hammer again.

18:16 ....the way I've always interpreted this scene is that the scepter itself has a special kind of energy that can channel emotions into those it comes into contact with. if the mood is particularly happy, it can channel positive emotions. if the mood is tense, it can channel those moods and even increase them.

When hulk catches Ironman from falling, that shot is also in a fan film made a few years prior to the avengers with hulk, Ironman and hulk

Tony is SO incredibly lucky that Loki decided to throw him out of the window instead of just choking or crushing him to death.

That anonymous "old man" who stands up when Loki says Kneel, is a well known actor who has appeared in over 95 movies and TV shows in his 50 year career, Kenneth Tigar.

Well never forget these AVENGERS they are so iconic TONY STARK STEVE ROGERS THOR ODINSON BRUCE BANNER NATASHA ROMANOFF CLINT BARTON

31:29 - Yup, that's Ashley Johnson!

You can get a lot more of Phil Coulson in Agents of Shield, 7 years worth.

Did you notice the gong sound when Thor's hammer struck Captain America's shield? That was the vibranium in the shield converting incoming kinetic energy into sound. You'll learn more about vibranium later. Dr Banner has not been diagnosed in the MCU, but he has multiple personality disorder. Hulk is a separate persona. In the Marvel universe, New York gets destroyed like every other week. Maria Hill is a badass. Never underestimate her. In the comic books, she outmanoeuvred Nick Fury himself and took over SHIELD for a time.

Marvel has 2 LANDMARK movies that raised the bar far above everything else, and changed movies in general. Avengers (2012) - teamed up superheroes in a way never done before. Infinity War (2019)? ...YOU. ARE. NOT. READY.

You loved Coulson as much as I did. You will love Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D if you decide to go there. The first season deals with the mystery of how he's still alive. Here's one vote for you watching that show. It's the best of all Marvel TV shows including the ones on Disney+.

Always nailing these reaction videos Kalyptic i have to agree this movie is peak MCU and really set the stages with the future i am with you i love the fight scenes with Thor and Loki and i love the dnyamic with Steve and Tony Stark one of my top 5 MCU movies and even did a tier ranking for all the phases of the MCU and Phase 1 this one was top spot looking forward to the next reaction video

The scepter was influencing everyone and making them angrier, thats why they kept showing it

I highly recommend watching Agents of SHIELD at some point. The series plays along the movies. I think I always watched the corresponding movie before starting new seasons of AoS. This way the series is not spoiling the movies and just gives a bit of background infos. I think you could really enjoy AoS. Edit: I also strongly recommend starting the series after Captain America Wintersoldier or at least watch the second half of season one after you have watched the movie. Otherwise you could get some spoilers from the show. If you are interested, there are lists out there where you can lookup between which episodes the Movies play. (e.g. Wintersoldier plays between E16 and E17 of season one)

Great reaction. It's been a while since I've seen this movie, was fun to re watch along.

LOVED your reaction! When this came out it was SO SATISFYING for everything to come together like this! I loved all the previous movies but I didn't see how they could have so many big name actors/characters and give them all decent screen time and ALSO make it such a good movie! Loki is still the best villain (so far)

You missed the 2nd post credit scene where they introduce Thanos

If you haven't already, and want to know a little bit more of Phil Coulson's character and background, I recommend watching Marvel's Agents of Shield.

I recommend watching the Marvel movies in the order that they were released in the theaters. That way, no spoilers are ruined. 👍🏼

30:41 I saw Black Widow in a 4-D theater, and it was a lot like you’re describing. The seats throw you around, there are fans, strobes, mist jets… it’s fun if you don’t get motion sickness!

I like Edward Norton as an actor overall, but having watched all the MCU movies, I can’t imagine anyone other than Ruffalo as The Hulk. Also, some comments ask why MCU has under utilized Hulk. It’s because until recently, the Hulk doesn’t belong to Marvel Disney, it’s the same reason it took so long to bring in other very well known properties owned by Universal or Fox. With Norton, as you’ll find in your journey, that would be way too many alpha personalities on set.

I’m excited to see the rest of your MCU journey 😎 as you get to the end of the road it’s so good to see first time reactions 🙌🙌🔥

29:27 No matter how many times I watch the movie, this shot right here always makes me smile until my face hurts

You think this is one of your fav mcu movies? Watch the rest of the series & I can’t stress enough watch agents of shield. Agents of shield is easily in my top 10 shows ever & maybe even in my top 5. I absolutely love it, adds SO much depth to the MCU

In the comics Loki was also the reason The Avengers assembled for the 1st time.

Mark Ruffalo is amazing as Banner. I will watch him, even without a Hulk.

Ashley Johnson was supposed to be a love interest for captain America, and there is a deleted scene of her hitting on captain America at the coffee shop were her character works at

Colby Smulders is playing Maria Hill, a Badass in her own right.

Yes, that is Ashley Johnson

Nice reaction Kaylptic I remember seeing The Avengers in theatres when it came out it was pretty good I'm glad you enjoyed it also I subscribed to your channel👍

Edward Norton was a really good hulk but Mark Ruffalo fits much better in the MCU

Don't you worry about Phil Coulson. Tahiti is a magical place. Sadly, Ashley Johnson's scene where she waits on Cap at the cafe and kinda flirts with him was cut but it should be in the deleted scenes Tony ends up creating a joint endeavour with the government called the Dept. of Damage Control to clean up after their battles :P

Ok so, I've seen it in a bunch of fanfics but i just looked it up to see if it was fanon or canon and- it seems like it was confirmed by Marvel at some point that in this movie, Loki was affected by the scepter himself without knowing it, it further fueling his hatred for Thor and earth, which explains why he's more ruthless here than anywhere else. There is a VERY long-standing fan theory (that existed long before that partial confirmation) that considers the possibility that Loki himself was being affected or controlled by the scepter, the guy he was working for, and/or was tortured by the folks he was working under. So, if Loki broke your heart a bit in this, just know that his judgement was at least to some degree affected by the scepter's power. Not that the writers seem to really address this at any point, but i think it's an interesting thing to know.

Here we go, waited for this.

Kaylyptic i love your reaction to Avengers 2012 it's my favorite marvel movie and Yeah it was so cool that Ashley Johnson is in this movie as the voice of Ellie on the last of us !!!

Okay, the reason Ruffalo was replaced with Norton was because Norton apparently had creative differences that didn't match with the studio's vision. That's at least what I know. But this movie is what really sets in motion the next movies in Marvel so for me watching this reaction is nostalgic for me.

I admire your self control in not jumping right to endgame lol! Just wanted to mention that the next two films are ANT MAN AND THE WASP (which is concurrent with Infinity War) and CAPTAIN MARVEL, which introduces the character Carol Danvers (takes place in 1995) who becomes a major player in ENDGAME. So now, I'm off to view your new entry "Jurassic Park"

In the best way possible, you are sm.e kind of super energetic keep it going

Lovely reaction. Thanks.

Help you a little, The scepter can be controlled by Loki. In the beginning of the movie the creature said Loki was chosen because he could get the cube and destroy Humans. Second it was his plan to be captured and stop Shield and use the Hulk. Plus Make them fight each other.

Tony made the suit capable of charging from unusual and external sources after his encounters with whiplash in ironman 2 and was able to charge his suit with thor's lightning, because tony learns from his mistakes And the mk8 he suits up with in free fall is also full with upgrades that obviously make putting the armor on faster and easier, but also has chest and back thrusters to make it easier to use his hands for other stuff because tony learns from his mistakes "Imagine the cleanup time", wait till you see spiderman homecoming Also in the shawarma scene, Chris Evans stays with his face on his fist and does nothing to hide the beard he had to grow for another role because they added that scene after shooting the movie

Not me freaking out because someone actually pointed Ashley Johnson out!!! 😂

Ruffalo is a great Hulk. Norton... well, regardless of his acting, insisted that the script be rewritten into the move he wanted, not what was needed for the baby MCU.

Coulson lives via Agents of SH.I.E.L.D. - If you liked Phil Coulson, you will love that. Tahiti, it's a magical place.

Love this whole film seeing all the Avengers form was so special and Cap and Tony are such a hate married couple in this lol they all have differences and its cool to see them talk about, the action in this is dialogue there's not many fight scenes in it the final act is 10/10! Loved your reaction and I love that they all came together cause of Coulson honestly best Agent of shield which is also a tv show

Kay , at 35 39 , you didn't get the joke, it's no longer STARK tower, it's A Tower, or Avengers Tower

From what you said, you so need to start the Agents of SHIELD tv series right now. Don't look anything about it beforehand, just dive into it.

That was a fun reaction. The Hulk smashing Loki scene is one of those memes that will last forever 😂

You finished phase 1, now onto phase 2 :)

This is my 1st time watching you and you are freaking awesome! 😊 Interesting fact: that closing swarma restaurant scene was actually filmed about a week before opening in theaters!

When this movie came out, it was revolutionary in its time. Cuz all the heroes introduced in separate movies coming together ij one movie to fight a common villain? No one in their wild dreams would've thought of something like that happening outside of the comics... And this was the first shot, in a streak of great Marvel movies! And you know what? Your viewing of the one shots made Coulson's death more meaningful and emotional for you. Most people didn't know about these existing until later, myself included. Congratulations on finishing with Phase 1... it's been a good one 🎉🥂 Also WHAT? Didn't even recognise the lady at the end as Ashley Johnson until now lmao... Yeah the shawarma post credits scene was a complete after-thought which came to the director after the movie premiered. He got all the actors gathered for a last minute shoot next day after the premiere to shoot that scene... If you think about it, it kinda humanizes the heroes and shows that they get tired of their job too, and they gotta chill a bit 😂 Next up: Beginning of Phase 2 with Iron Man 3... and I have a suggestion with it. After you're done watching the movie, you can watch the One-Shot called All Hail The King. Without saying much, it's set after Iron Man 3 and you'll like it... Peace! ✌

A little useless trivia. The end credit scene was filmed after primary filming was wrapped. Chris Evans is leaning on his fist, obscuring his face, because he had already grown some facial hair for his next movie, and was hiding it rather than shave it off for one scene.

Agents of Shield reactions would be pog 👀

23:57 "Tahiti is a magical place." 😔😢

Always always love a nod to the woman the myth the legend Ashley Johnson in these reactions!

Tahiti… it’s a magical place. 😉

you can't kill Banner...if you shoot Banner in the head......hulk will spit the bullet out (because he will transform and he will regenerate, much to your misfortune)

Agents of Shield went 7 seasons because everyone reacted to Coulson's death just like you and they weren't having that

Oh!

Hi Kaylyptic hello I also loved your reaction to Batman and John Wick 😊😊😊 Hope to see you in the next one soon !!!!

Some top 3 moments in my life: Star Wars(1977), when I was 6; Pink Floyd performing Comfortably Numb live, in 2004; this movie.

Kay, now you can watch the tv show, Agents of SHIELD, i hear it's a magical place

Bummer, I wish we had seen her reaction to Hulk trying to pick up the mew mew

I agree with you about Ruffalo, like he’s good as the Hulk, but I usually know for tough guy roles, so in this, when he tries to play, socially awkward and shy, it just feels a bit off. But he still does a good job overall and I love the movie as well.

This was also my favorite movie of all time when it came out. It took 7 years for another movie in this franchise to replace it. Ed Norton never felt like a proper Bruce Banner to me. Ruffalo does. I didn't know who he was at the time (even though I had seen him in a few things), but he proved to be the perfect actor for the job. Colson dying was a kick in the teeth. I was so glad when Agents of Shield came out the next year, even if it was eventually divorced from the canon.

Colson is alive in agents of shield series, and he is In the captain Marvel movie
