I don't think that is safe to say at all.
"That raised the film's worldwide haul to $641.8 million in barely a week and a half, more than its Marvel superhero forerunners "Iron Man," "Iron Man 2," "Thor" and "Captain America" took in during their entire runs.'
Yes, I know nothing about Norse mythology.
I guess I saw Loki in the trailer, but didn't recognize him and wasn't expecting it to be only him as the main villain.
Dr. Doom appears after part of the credits roll along with who appears to be Thanos.

This is Doom from the last FF movie. I totally forgot wtf he looked like exactly in these films.
and I can't find a pic of The Other. But anyway...they looked nothing alike aside from a hood, sounded nothing alike, Doom isn't part of Marvel Studios' properties. Where the hell did you conclude that Doom was in Space w/ control of an Alien army? Also...did you not see the film?

I did like when he said to Thanos that it would be like "courting death", to which Thanos smiles, as all nerds know Thanos is in love with Death - and I don't mean the act of death, but the literal personification of death in the Marvel universe, which is a hot chick in a robe.

For someone who constantly complains about the lost art of filmmaking (that is you, right?), you seem to be unable to tell the difference between a shitty, poorly written, spastically directed, padded out series of films and a tight, well written, well directed, perfectly cast one.

I think that just shows a lot of average movie goers lump all these comic book movies together. Not many people know who Thanos is, and not many people know that different properties are with different studios.
Although I don't think there's an excuse for not knowing who Loki is; even if you haven't watched Thor, he's in trailers, movie descriptions, previews, whatever. Although knowing norse mythology is kind of a silly expectation

Also...some of you didn't like like Jackson in this. I think he played a pretty badass fury. Took command when he needed, was serious, had some heart, and got shit done.
Ditto on Maria Hill, also...that little action bit w/ her was pretty badass. Didn't imagine her to do that little bit of jumping in the vehicle.

The funny thing is, this guy sounded like Toby from American Splendor, so I wasn't expecting such wrongness.

I'd take a Hawkeye/Black Widow film over a film over just one of them. They work well together. And if they did...I'd hope it'd be a spy thriller of sorts while also having some good action. Which is funny cuz not since The Ultimates has Hawkeye ever been a SHIELD agent, correct? I don't mind it...fits well in the cartoon too.
It hit me a bit after the movie ended...that Hawkeye never did take down The Hulk. I remember Renner saying that Hawk could do that. Wonder if that's somehow in the deleted scenes....but even w/ that...where could that happen storywise? Does Hawk take down Hulk while still on the helicarrier and that's when Hulk falls from the sky?

The surprise twist to the Bourne Legacy is that it takes place in the Marvel universe and that Renner's character in that film becomes Hawkeye!

I may have missed it in the last 18 or so pages, but here is a clearer version of the post-post credits scene:

Bud Light Renner won't be allowed to play, however.

Actually, the implication was that Loki was influencing him rather than he was Loki in disguiise. But, regardless of the intent in that scene, it was completely ignored in The Avengers. Perhaps that's part of the 30 minutes worth of deleted scenes that Whedon mentioned. Things may have been lost or muddied in the effort to streamline the movie.
It looked nice in 3D (especially considering it was a conversion) but nothing necessary to enjoy the flick.
