Also, I assumed a "quim" was some kind of small rodent, but looking it up, it's...uh...something else.

So let me ask (forgive me if it has been discussed) why did:

Spoiler:
the Iron Man suit shut off and fall back through the portal, when the missile was able to stay on?

Spoiler:
Because Jarvis said his suit was almost out of power before he even went after the missile

I can buy the out of power thing, but seems weird he would fall in space. Guess they can say he was pulled back through the portal

Shouldn't we be able to discuss spoilers openly in the reviews thread anyway? Or is that frowned upon?

I always forget the policy - but I spoiler tag just to be on the safe side.

Yes, I had small issue with that as well. The

falling part, not the running out of power part. They established that he was running out of power. But falling in space? Um, no.

But I guess they could explain it as the pull of the portal or maybe earth's gravity exerting some pull through the portal.

He didn't fall, he was pushed by the concussion wave of the nuclear explosion.

"Clench up and hang on, Legolas" (or something to that effect) got a good laugh.

This almost makes me want to check out Whedon's work on Firefly/Serenity despite the fact it didn't look very appealing to me.

I could be wrong, but that's what I remember.

He started to fall then his eyes closed, then the explosion.

This is a little off topic but why do we have to hide spoilers in here? I would think people who haven't seen it would realize that it was an enter at your own risk type of situation. Do people actually complain when they enter a thread for a movie they havent seen and the people who have seen it are talking about it?

Yeah especially on page 9. But all it takes is one person to bitch about something being spoiled. "But I thought this was the reviews thread! I wanted to read 9 pages of posts just on whether the movie was good or not, and I got spoiled!"

That's why I spoilered my next post. I'm genuinely curious but didn't want to risk somebody who had no life hulking out on me.

P.S. - See that? I used hulking instead of some other word because this is The Avengers thread. Did you guys notice? Huh? Huh?

I tend to say fuck it also but comic book fans tend to be whiny. "Donald Glover can't play Spiderman because he's black." "Batman and Robin sucks!" Just shut up and get laid already!

well...Batman and Robin does suck. Also...I'd prefer my Spider-Man to be white...or in general...my superhero characters to be what race they are in the comics...unless they're so goddamn awesome that their ability to be the character surpasses race...ie Idris fucking Elba as Heimdall.
