That Marvelous Movie: The Avengers 2012

Last April 26, I found myself amongst the long queue of people who are all eager to watch one of the awaited movies for this year - The Avengers. I've been wanting to see this movie since I saw the preview last year and of course I mostly just want to ogle Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth! 

Granted these movie series will not be included in my 'most favorite list', but I got to say that it was a delight to watch The Avengers. It's witty, sarcastic and hilarious but at the same time it's also action packed. I also have to mention that Incredible Hulk is absolutely adorable in this movie, even though that might sound totally inappropriate. Watching The Avengers is like having the ultimate stress buster, you just can't help but feel good afterwards. To conclude this entry, I'd like to share some of the unforgettable and witty punch lines that I personally think made this movie extra spicy.

Tony Stark: Give yourself some credit, please. Stark Tower is your baby. Give yourself... twelve percent of the credit. 
Pepper Potts: Twelve percent? 
Tony Stark: An argument can be made for fifteen. 
Pepper Potts: Twelve percent for my baby? 
Tony Stark: Well, I did do all the heavy lifting. Literally, I lifted the heavy things. And sorry, but the security snafu? That was on you. 
Pepper Potts: Oooooh. 
Tony Stark: My private elevator. 
Pepper Potts: You mean our elevator? 
Tony Stark: Was teeming with sweaty workmen. I'm going to pay for that comment about percentages in some subtle way later, aren't I? 
Pepper Potts: Not gonna be that subtle. 
Tony Stark: I'll tell you what. Next building's gonna say 'Potts' on the tower. 
Pepper Potts: On the lease. 
Tony Stark: ...Call your mom, can you bunk over? 

Tony Stark: I thought we were having a moment. 

Pepper Potts: I was having twelve percent of a moment. 

Natasha Romanoff: This is the Tesseract. It has the potential energy to wipe out the planet. 

Bruce Banner: What does Fury want me to do, swallow it? 

Agent Phil Coulson: I gotta say, it's an honour to meet you, officially. I sort of met you, I mean, I watched you while you were sleeping. I mean, I was, I was present while you were unconscious, from the ice. You know it's really just a, just a huge honour to have you on board.
Steve Rogers: Well I hope I'm the man for the job. 

Tony Stark: Dr. Banner, your work is unparalleled. And I'm a huge fan of the way you lose control and turn into an enormous green rage monster. 

Bruce Banner: Thanks. 

Steve Rogers: We have orders, we should follow them. 
Tony Stark: Following's not really my style. 
Steve Rogers: And you're all about style, aren't you? 
Tony Stark: Of the people in this room, which one is A, wearing a spangly outfit and B, not of use?  
Thor: You people are so petty, and tiny. 

Bruce Banner: I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats. You can smell crazy on him. 
Thor: I care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard. And he is my brother. 
Natasha Romanoff: He killed 80 people in 2 days 
Thor: ...He's adopted 

Agent Phil Coulson: (dying) You're gonna lose. 
Loki: (sneering) Am I? 
Agent Phil Coulson: It's in your nature. 
(shoots him through the wall with a big gun)
Agent Phil Coulson: (after firing the gun on Loki) So that's what it does... 

Tony Stark: (to Bruce Banner) You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed? 

Loki: What have I to fear? 

Tony Stark: The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. "Earth's Mighiest Heroes" type thing. 
Loki: Yes, I've met them. 
Tony Stark: Yeah, takes us a while to get any traction, I'll give you that one but, let's do a head count here. Your brother, the demi-god; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and *you*, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them. 
Loki: That was the plan. 
Tony Stark: Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you. 
Loki: I have an army. 
Tony Stark: We have a Hulk. 
Loki: I thought the beast had wandered off. 
Tony Stark: You're missing the point. There's no throne. There is no version of this where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us but it's all on you. Because if we can't protect the Earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it. 

Loki: (Hulk and Loki fighting)  ENOUGH! You are, all of you, beneath me.  I am a God! I am not going to be bullied by a...  (Hulk grabs him by the legs and throws him around back and forth)

Loki: (Loki is stunned by what happened and cannot get back up) 
The Hulk: (Hulk strutting away) Puny God. 

Maria Hill: When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics? 

Tony Stark: Last night. 

Bruce talking to the Security who saw him falling while he was still the Hulk
Security Guard: Are you an alien? 
Bruce Banner: What? 
Security Guard: From outer space, an alien. 
Bruce Banner: No. 
Security Guard: Well then son, you've got a condition. 

Tony Stark: (regaining consciousness) What just happened? Please tell me nobody kissed me. 

Steve Rogers: We won.
