TA133: Make It Visually Interesting...

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!
