You're one of the few reactors that actually noticed the Staff was affecting the team in that room. It's wild how many I've seen just not notice it when it was plainly shown
And I love that shot tracking through the arguments then coming to the scepter and turning upside down. It's great visual story telling without having to spell out that the staff's presence is having an affect on them.
One of the most genuine reactors on youtube, most others only play that they don't know what going to happen or what the twist is but andi is genuine and gorgeous
This movie is so rewatchable. They really did a great job integrating so many different heroes into one movie while progressing their individual stories as well as creating interesting dynamics between the various members. (and with Hawkeye and Black Widow, establishing very important aspects to their characters) And RIP Phil. It's crazy how much the fans came to love him through his little appearances since the first Iron Man
"Why am I tearing up?". Because you're invested in these characters. Also, because you are obviously a caring person with a high level of empathy. This is a good thing, so cry away.
"Why am I tearing up?" when they are all coming together for the battle... Yup. That music, the build up from the movies before, getting over their staff-induced squabbles and fighting for the one they call Phil. It all culminates in a pretty epic moment.
The reason you (and everyone else) really loved this movie is the character interactions… by Firefly writer/director Joss Whedon. He really knows his shit.
I understand why you were teary-eyed near the end of the movie there, unfortunately you haven't even begun to cry in the MCU. I cannot wait to see you enjoy the laughs, the tears, the action, future character origins, the love stories, and the intertwining overall story arch that will eventually come together. It can seem like a long journey, but as you just saw with this Avengers movie, it can be really epic!! I absolutely look forward to what you've thought by the end of "Avengers: Endgame".
25:30 Wellllll . . . If you recall from Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rogers isn't the sort who blindly follows orders when he disagrees with them. When it comes to following orders versus Doing The Right Thing (at least, according to his now anachronistic moral standards), he will pretty much always choose the latter. It's a fascinating aspect of his character that they could have done so much more with.
To echo @RecentCobra , well spotted with the scepter affecting everyone. Also, you noticed how messed up Tony’s suit was after he got the turbine up and running; it’s not often I’ve seen folks comment about that on their first watch. A bit of trivia for you, which I wish I could say I noticed myself but someone pointed it out to me: early on, Shield sends folks to get the Avengers. Natasha gets “the big guy”, and hands Bruce a cell phone with some info on the Tesseract. Coulson gets Tony, and gives him a full set of information in a format that Tony can load onto his computer with his 3-D imaging setup. Fury gets Steve and hands him information on the Cube in a manila folder, because that’s how information was managed in the 40’s. That’s some first-rate attention to detail right there.
Everyone loves Loki because he's so interesting to watch on screen. And that's in part because of the actor, Tom Hiddleston. Loki is so condescending to us mere humans. And that evil sneer when he makes his first appearance. Did you know that he originally auditioned for the part of Thor? Also, the very first issue of the comic was the heroes teaming up to fight Loki. Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Ant-Man and the Wasp. Cap was still frozen in the ice until issue#4
Poor Loki. So misundertood XD I love the details at the start of the movie. When we first see Loki, he's really not in the best of states, you can see he's been through unhappy times, it's even hard for him to jump in the back of the truck. And the actor does a really good job at showing his fear when he's threatened with torture, because you can tell that he'd already gone through that... Joss did such a good job writing that character.
I can sum up why this specific movie is so good - Harmony. All of them on their own is interesting, but when they work together and what they achieve, it’s harmony.
Fantastic reaction! Trust me, moving forward you will understand the hype even more. After the next film, things really start to connect and then, things get AMAZING! I thnk you'll be blown away when you see where this all goes.
Loki complimented Natasha for being able to sneak up on him. That not many could do that. In the end the entire Avenger team snuck up on Loki! “If it’s all the same to you. I’ll have that drink now.” LOL! My family had so much fun that at the end of the movie, we went for Shawarma to celebrate!
You’ve seen Firefly and Serenity, so you know Joss Whedon’s work. As much of an ass as he is, he was really good at his job. He was absolutely the right choice to write and direct this movie, and he made what could have been a disaster into an incredibly enjoyable experience with more emotional ties than anyone expected.
Whedon did a great job with the Avengers, but that's 1 of 23 films in the Infinity Saga. Feige was the driving force behind that, and it's likely something that will never be matched. Iron Man = Robert Downey Jr. Batman = ? If asked to summarize Batman's character arc, you have to ask which one. There is no Tony Stark but Robert Downey Jr, and the Infiniity Saga contains his story.
2:42 no, while looking for Captain America, when he was first lost, Howard Stark (Tony’s father) had only the tesseract’s signature to hunt with, so he found it in the ocean long before they had located Steve [the scene where the assistant says they found the Tesseract, but there was no sign of wreckage, and Howard sighs and insisted that they proceed to the next grid, anyway]
You gave a great reaction and you paid attention to what was going on. I find it strange but a lot of reactors I see get confused over things like "Loki's Play" where his staff was agitating everyone against each other. The Hulk obviously being the most susceptible to getting agitated. This is S Tier MCU. It's not the only one.
1:04:24 - The reason for the "hype" was because the MCU was the first to tell several connected origin stories and then combining them into an ensemble cast movie called The Avengers. Before that, superhero flicks were just individual heroes with sequels (e.g. Batman, Superman, Spider-Man) between the late 1970s and mid 2000s (With the first X-Men movie, they were already a team and eventually Marvel went back and did their origins with prequels).
the hair is fab. The cool part is. the rest of the movies only get better. Characters start to grow, interactions grow deeper, stakes get bigger, and your investment will grow and what sad things happen are actually sad. Each franchise will have a different flavor yet still feel joined and familiar. A wonderful video.
The characters develop over time, both from the writing angle, and their personal stuff. I encourage you to proceed in this, at least to Endgame… and then the Loki series. I saw this in the theatre, and it exploded with laughter when hulk flopped Loki around.
The Tesseract (blue cube) is indeed the same one from Captain America: The First Avenger... it was also shown in the end-credits scene of Thor, as you may recall...
There is something very soothing about the way you speak. I feel like I can easily trust everything you’re saying. It’s also your energy. Either way, you got yourself a new subscriber !
12 years have passed since I first saw this movie at the theaters. It was my first MCU movie viewing at the theater. It’s an incredible movie no matter how long it’s been.
Funniest moment in the whole first Avengers movie is Loki getting ragdolled by Hulk. Even if I'm having a bad day, that moment never fails to make me laugh.
@@testfire3000 Me either. I love Tony so much. I also love when Tony zaps Bruce (Ow!) in the lab & then looks him in the eye waiting for him to change or not. Who pokes the bear every time? Tony.🤭
What an absolute delight watching this movie with you. Thank you for the invitation. Your reactions had me smiling the whole time. 😊 I just subscribed. I look forward to seeing your other videos. Your hair looks great by the way.✌️😊💕Cheers!
I've never really been a superhero fan before the MCU. I've enjoyed some superhero movies but no more than that. The genius of the MCU is that they have managed to create a cohesive universe where the characters get to grow over time and with it our attachment to them. I won't spoil anything for you but that cohesive story held together for a long time, so bring tissues: more emotional movies are in store for you. Great reaction, Andy!
Yeah, when we get to those last couple films, there’s been such an investment of time & getting connected to all the characters that it really reaches a fever pitch. It really rewards you for that investment of time & emotional energy.
No spoilers, but the villain reveal in the credits was an Easter Egg for all of us comic nerds who recognized him immediately and it gave us the gift of knowing who the main villain in the arc was going to be. A gift of knowledge that we could share with the non-comic-nerd civilians with a knowing, "you'll see" and a smile. One of the reasons Marvel heroes (both in the comics and in the MCU movies) are popular is because they are all different characters but they all share a basic humanity and a vulnerability that allows us to identify with them.
Phenomenal reaction, great emotional response, attention to what is actually happening on screen, just phenomenal. I've subbed and I can't wait to see the rest of this roller-coaster of a journey. Oh the things we'll see. 🔥🔥
Onne thing I got a laugh from was Tony eating blueberries and offering them to the others. RDJ hid bags of them around the set to snack on during filming. Him offering them wasn't scripted.
I found it very funny when you called it "The Square", which is 2 Dimensional, when it looks like a Cube, which is 3 Dimensional, but it's name is "The Tesseract" which is a 4 Dimensional shape.
When this came out I went to see it opening weekend. The next day I went again with my wife & daughter. The next day I went to see it in IMAX 3d. A few days later I took my girls to see it in IMAX 3d. So… we were impressed. We haven’t been to the theater since the coof. But we are probably going to go see Deadpool & Wolverine in IMAX. 😊
I think the idea of the avengers was to get them together before they were needed so this little scuffle on the helicarrier would have happened without an enemy present. But they waited too long. That’s just how i see it.
I get goosebumps too at the start of the movie every time!!! And I’ve watched prob 75 reactors watch this!! I assume that’s why your channel popped on my feed lol I’m subscribed now and excited for your journey!!
I liked your reaction so much that I want to give an Easter egg. the actor that plays the big bad at the end appears again later as a different character? Good luck figuring out who!
One of the best reactions I’ve seen 👏 Your emotions mirrored mine. You’re in for one helluva ride. Subscribing & can’t wait to see more Marvel reactions 👍
10/10, love your reaction! I have seen dozens, dozens of MCU reactions and I have to say yours are amazing. Coulson's death, Tony's sacrifice, such powerful moments! I can tell you have come to love these characters as much as we do. Yes, Loki is a total dick. I can't say more but we will see him again.
Writer Jo Walton has this Spearpoint Theory, "There comes a point in writing, and it's a spear-point, it's very small and sharp but because it's backed by the length and weight of a whole spear and a whole strong person pushing it, it's a point that goes in a long way. Spearpoints need all that behind them, or they don't pack their punch in the same way." For me, this Avengers movie is the spearpoint movie. If you haven't seen the individual movies leading up to this, "The Avengers" won't pack anywhere near the same punch. The previous MCU movies together form the spear behind "The Avengers" spearpoint. There are other spearpoints later in the MCU #noSpoilers but this is the first. That IMO is the great innovation of the MCU movies, using stand-alone movies to build up an overarching storyline. It's been done in the comics medium but the MCU was the first to do it in movie format.
Ooo, I love that. I agree, it is one of the reasons why so many people have problems with the MCU, because they don't want to go back and watch more than a decade of movies just to understand the latest ones. Which is why I love these reaction channels like Andi's who goes in completely blind and works through them step by step.
Not sure what your plans are with regards to the streaming shows, but since you're officially done Phase 1, I wanted to mention that the Netflix shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Defenders, and The Punisher) start toward the tail end of Phase 2 and are considered canon once again (and certain things will be come relevant as you get deeper into the movies/Disney+ shows), so do recommend watching. ...They're also (mostly) really quite good (...the first season of Iron Fist is a bit of a slog, but it does get better in the second... sort of). They're also not terribly long (13ish episodes per show season). The first seasons of Daredevil and Jessica Jones in particular are probably some of the best work Marvel has done with the streaming side of things.
38:58 We like Loki as a fictional character, kind of like how we like Peter Griffin (Family Guy) and Roger the alien (America Dad). They would be absolutely horrible people if it were real life, but as fictional characters they make the shows interesting. Loki's double nature, both good and evil, makes for interesting plot twists.
There's a point in the MCU, somewhere around Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where the quality ramps up and gets EVEN BETTER and consistently so from that point
Amazing reaction, this film is excellent but in my opinion infinity war and endgame are on another level. You are in for one hell of a ride, am envious that you have got it all to come.
Why dose everyone like Loki? Let's see, me at the end of the Loki show on Disney + with my jaw so wide open I had to pick it up off the floor 😧🤨☺😆🤣😂 Loki is the best story so far. Your just seeing him like this right now. Oh just wait. 😊
Wow, you are in for a ride. It gets even better as they keep building. I can't wait to see your reaction to Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame eventually. There is a lot more before you get there though. Tons of great stuff and great characters to be introduced.
Oh! Here's some non spoilery background information. In the comics Thanos is literally a Death worshipper, so much so that he tries to 'woo' the incarnation of Death, which happens to be feminine. That's why they had him grin when his minion said 'to court death.'
Yeah... a *big* clue that Loki was right where he wanted to be, when Tony and Thor spend all that time fighting and Cap has to step in and THE WHOLE TIME Loki just... waits. They were playing right into his hands at that point. He's an expert manipulator. And to answer your question, I quite love him. :P Some of the reasons for that are spoilery at this point, but he already had my sympathy at this point, to a certain extent. He's operating out of a lot of hurt and self-loathing and confusion. It doesn't excuse his actions, but it does explain them to a point. He's a fascinating character with a lot of charisma and complex characterization. It IS okay to like the villain as long as he's fictional. ;)
Loki is one of the best characters in the mcu so that's why we like him actually love him. I mean how could you or anyone not like him? You will learn in upcoming movies plus the TV show:)
it was from this film onwards i realised i became emotionally attached to the characters now aha. no spoilers but it literally just gets better and better from here (until anything after dr strange MoM (imo))
There were two blue glowing objects in the Thor movie. One was the frost Giants key weapon the casket of eternal winters. The other objects shown in Thor's post credit scene was the tesseract. Which has the same elements as Tony Stark's Arc reactor he's using now with the new element Tony rediscovered in the iron Man 2. The new Arc reactor is a synthetic version of the cosmic cube aka the tesseract without the cosmic property. The tesseract is also the space infinity stone and every infinity stone give off gamma-ray radiation which effects anyone around them. Gamma rays can increase anger which is why all of the heroes were arguing and Bruce had no control over the hulk who's mind was clouded with burning rage. The hulk and Bruce banner are two separate identities but due to the events of the incredible hulk movie the threshold for the transformation to trigger has changed so it won't happen by accident. Also Bruce has discovered if he triggered the transformation himself Bruce has more control over the hulk actions.
"Which has the same elements as Tony Stark's Arc reactor he's using now with the new element Tony rediscovered in the iron Man 2. The new Arc reactor is a synthetic version of the cosmic cube aka the tesseract without the cosmic property." I'm pretty sure none of this was ever claimed or said in any of the movies. It's just fan speculation/fan fiction. "and every infinity stone give off gamma-ray radiation which effects anyone around them." Ditto this. "Gamma rays can increase anger which is why all of the heroes were arguing" None of this is ever said in any of the movies. " but due to the events of the incredible hulk movie the threshold for the transformation to trigger has changed so it won't happen by accident." I won't say you're just making all this up, but you've picked it from some source that just made it all up. None of these things are canon. Moreover, we see Hulk transform in this very movie in the helicarrier without it being intentional, just as it happens again in AGE OF ULTRON, which is why Bruce is constantly worrying about it (despite what he says in this movie about "I'm always angry," which also contradicts what you're saying in a different way), and why he eventually goes away in a quinjet.
