Minute One Hundred Thirty Three: From Hill’s Questions for Fury to Repair Work on Tony’s Penthouse.

Andrew Darowski from Disney Animation Minute Essentials and Joe Darowski from the Protagonist Podcast join us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-thirty-third minute of The Avengers ...

Fury finishes his power walk, but what’s with all the scuff marks in the hallway there? Were they moving a piano through here? Or does this have to do with his bazooka love? It’s a bit of an awkward cut to Fury’s conversation with Maria Hill from here. Perhaps this is because there’s an alternate ending involving the closure with Maria Hill and her questioning by the World Security Council. We’ll save that for tomorrow’s conversation, but we do discuss the rough edit. We also talk about Fury’s power positions here on the bridge, including his standing on the circular window at the front. We question his thinking because of the structural damage to this ship, but maybe it just makes Fury even more badass? We also get to discuss the SHIELD logo built into the floor and the attempt for the camera to show it to us, even if it is hard to see.

From there, we head to Stark Tower where we find Tony and Pepper looking at Stark-techified blueprints of the new Avengers Tower as well as quinjets. It’s fun to see them playing with all of this, but the editing’s all over the place. And where are all the people that should be working on the mess in here? Why do they have those Stark-techified ladders in here? And why do they need ladders anyway? Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Thirty One: From The Final News Montage to The Tesseract Where It Belongs.

Bubbawheat from the time loop podcast It's Time to Rewind joins us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-thirty-first minute of The Avengers ...

This minute is full of lots of clips from all the various screens we’re watching, and we try talking about the all in one capacity or another. We’ve got news feeds plus what looks like various YouTube types of videos people have posted, all relating to the celebration of – or skepticism with – the Avengers and their role in the Battle of New York. We talk the IMDb credits for our various speaking actors, and lo and behold one of them is none other than Stan Lee! That’s right – this minute features his cameo. It’s not one of our favorites, but it’s still fun.

From there, we shift to Nick Fury and his tense discussion he’s having with the members of the World Security Council. We talk more about this shady organization and wonder why it will largely be dropped from future films. We also get to talk about our heroes rendezvousing at Bethesda Terrace in Central Park, wondering why they met here to ship Loki off instead of just staying in Stark Tower where they already were. Regardless, this minute gives us plenty to talk about. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Thirty Two: From The Tesseract Being Dealt With to Fury’s Dramatic Walk

TwitchTV’s MarvelousTay joins us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-thirty-second minute of The Avengers ...

While Fury talks with the World Security Council, we follow our heroes in Central Park as they ship Loki off to Asgard. Where did this handy Tesseract travel tube come from? Did Erik whip that up in his spare time? It’s certainly convenient, and clearly knows how to get Thor and Loki back to Asgard. What’s with the muzzle Loki’s wearing? We ponder the need for something like this as he’s not a villain who says spells or attacks with his mouth. We assume it’s just because it makes him look caught that much more.

We watch our heroes go their separate ways (though completely ignoring Erik – so much so we don’t even discuss his departure, or lack thereof, in the episode). Tony and Bruce are scientist best buddies now! And Tony has a sweet ride. Too bad it’s not Acura real... yet.

We end our conversation discussing Fury and the WSC. What do we think of their motivations? How about how it ties into the TV show? And what does it say about where the franchise will go from here? Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Thirty: From Realizing There’s One More Thing to Shawna Lynde’s Brief Appearance

TwitchTV’s MarvelousTay joins us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-thirtieth minute of The Avengers ...

Break time! But not quite. Tony really wants to get to Shawarma Palace, but he’ll have to wait because they have to deal with Loki first. But how does Clint get there? And do Natasha and Erik find a ladder or something to climb down? Is that how she got the scepter in the first place?

We find Loki barely moving, but alive. He clearly looks defeated, perhaps so much so that he doesn’t hear the six heroes sneak up on him because when he turns around, they’re practically in his face. We love the fantastic pose here showing our heroes assembling and in the scope of things, it doesn’t matter much that Loki doesn’t hear them coming because it looks so damn cool.

We jump to the helicarrier where we’re looking at several monitors, watching the various news feeds that Fury’s looking at. We discuss the newscaster here as well as several actors, along with a number of fun Easter eggs. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Twenty Seven: From Tony’s Final Push to Tony Falling in Space

In the one-hundred-twenty-seventh minute of The Avengers ...

Tony somehow manages to not hit Stark Tower, which now looks like AI Tower. It’s a bit ridiculous, but it’s a movie so it’s fine. Hulk watches in a dramatic shot, as does Nat. Where’s Clint? Still stuck in that apartment? Cap and Thor watch from the streets below. Tony flies the nuke through the one-sided space hole and everyone cheers, but the battle’s not over yet. Shouldn’t Fury be, you know, directing or something?

Meanwhile, we join Tony on the other side of the one-sided hole, but couldn’t he have just tossed the nuke through and not gone through himself? If his intention was to hit the Chitauri mothership – which he does – wouldn’t it have been better to see him aiming it once through? As it stands, it just looks like he keeps flying straight, until his suit powers down.

Wouldn’t his suit have been bette designed by this point after learning about near space flight in the first Iron Man movie? And even if it powered down, shouldn’t he just keep moving along with the missile because of the vacuum of space? At least the shoulder units pop off to help propel him backward but was that enough?

Regardless, Tony has a spiritual moment here as he seems to be dying. It’s a powerful moment and we’re fans of the moment, even if some of the logistics don’t make sense. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Twenty Eight: From The Fall of Tony to Concern About Their Fallen Friend

Robin Burdge from Karate Kid Minute and Sword Boys joins us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-twenty-eighth minute of The Avengers ...

Tony continues his unconscious falling from space back toward the one-sided hole, but will he make it? That’s the big question on everyone’s minds below. Unfortunately, with a nuclear explosion heading their way from the other side of the hole, Steve has to make the tough call to close the hole, potentially leaving Tony behind. It’s the tough call a military leader has to know when to make, and he makes it, knowing it’s potentially for the good of Earth. After all, if he doesn’t shut it, that nuclear blast will push through the hole.

It does lead to questions about how much radiation would actually make it through the hole, not to mention why it takes so long to get to the hole. We also wonder about the edge of the hole. Is it tangible? Or is it more like a laser that’d cut you in half if you hit it? And why, on Earth’s side, isn’t it depicted as something people actually have to fly through in order to get from the hole?

But the heroes do shut the hole and Tony makes it through. He’s unconscious, and luckily, Hulk decides he’s going to save Tony and he does so. Then he casually tosses him to the side. It’s touching and funny. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Twenty Five: From Pushing the Button to Tony’s Info About the Nuke Coming In

In the one-hundred-twenth-fifth minute of The Avengers ...

The nuke is off and away! We’ve got a two minute and thirty second clock that starts ticking right here. Will it play out in real time as it does in movie time? We’ll find out two-and-a-half minutes from now!

We come into the fight in slow motion on Thor and Cap as they each retrieve their tools, then ramp up as they battle the Chitauri. It’s an odd moment but does work okay. And they play it well sharing their pain and their ribs. Literally.

Erik and Natasha work on destroying the Tesseract energy with the sceptre but how did she get it from Tony’s patio? Is there a ladder we don’t see? We still have issues with Erik’s secret back door to destroy the Tesseract, but it is what it is. It puts the next steps of the plan into action though as Tony changes Cap’s plans to shut the portal because he realizes there’s more to do. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Twenty Six: From Tony’s Missile Chase to Tony’s Missile Heave Ho

Lester Clark and Kynan Dias from The Exorcist Minute join us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-twenty-sixth minute of The Avengers ...

The chase is on! Tony spots the nuke and does a great U-turn under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge between Staten Island and Long Island. What does this say about where the F-35 was though? Wasn’t the helicarrier off the east coast of Long Island? And why don’t we ever get to see the Statue of Liberty in this film? Even in the background of one of these shots? Ah well.

Speaking of Tony’s U-turn, the water explosion when he blasts his thrusters at it... quite a kick! So again, what happened to those people under him when he first got his Mark VII on? Ouch.

Tony’s plan is to catch the nuke and push it up through the space hole. But shouldn’t the team on the helicarrier still be doing things? Like scrambling jets? Calling New York’s leaders to evacuate the city? You know, things like that? While it might make sense, we do agree that there’s a story element of having everyone watch that gives us a sense that everything’s been done and all they – just like us – can do is watch. It’s fine. And that leads to Tony’s final push. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Twenty Nine: From Tossing Tony’s Mask to Not Finished Yet

Matthew Costello, author of several works on politics and superheroes including Secret Identity Crisis: Comic books and the Unmasking of Cold War America, joins us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-twenty-ninth minute of The Avengers ...

Thor rips the face of Tony’s mask off. The image of the face plate laying in the rubble was something we saw in the alternate opening for the film. We talk a bit about what that would’ve meant to have seen it then. Hulk roars and Tony snaps awake then has a line about hoping no one kissed him. This shifts us into some talk about fan fic and other ways this scene may be interpreted, regardless of any intentions from the writers or director. That wistful look on Steve’s face...

There’s plenty to discuss about camera technique in a post-climax scene, including the possible trope of the slow pull-back on our team. We also talk about the wrap-up of the battle and wonder why this ended up being put together without Clint or Natasha (despite the obvious reasons that they’re still at the tops of high-rises). And we wonder how Tony ever managed to spot the Shawarma Palace in the middle of his fighting. Tune in!

Minute One Hundred Thirty Five: From An Anti-Armor Missile in Iron Man’s Gauntlet to a Hole in Iron Man’s Chest

Joining us today, it’s filmmaker and TruStory FM regular Tommy Metz III, director of ‘30 Nights of Sex to Save Your Marriage’.

In the one-hundred-thirth-fifth minute of The Avengers ...

We’re finishing the special credits (thanks to Andrew Darowski’s kids for the nickname!) with Tommy. We chat through the various images we see and again try to figure out if there’s any rhyme or reason as to who gets which image, other than the six principals. It doesn’t make much sense. Would it have made more sense to go a different route so they would’ve had more options for characters like Hulk?

From there, we talk through each of the people listed and discuss some of their awards wins and nominations, along with some of our favorites of the films they’ve done. And lots of laughs. Tune in!
