The Avengers (SPOILERS BEWARE0

[Morrus]

There are reports that the US release of the Avengers has ANOTHER post credit scene. It's nothing earth shattering but it does seem to be the punchline of some joke since..

[sblock]

No need for spoiler tags in the spoiler thread.

Yup. Stark makes a few cracks earlier in the movie about eating whatever the hell shwewaaarww whatever is. And the after credits scene shows them eating it.

Still no idea what schwammmrrraaarm or whatever it is, though.

Shawarma (Arabic: شاورما‎) is a popular Levantine Arab<sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference">[1]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2]</sup> meat preparation, where lamb, goat, chicken, turkey, beef, or mixed meats are placed on a spit (commonly a vertical spit in restaurants), and may be grilled for as long as a day. Shavings are cut off the block of meat for serving, and the remainder of the block of meat is kept heated on the rotating spit. Although it can be served in shavings on a plate (generally with accompaniments), "shawarma" also refers to a pita bread sandwich or wrap made with shawarma meat. Shawarma is eaten with tabbouleh, fattoush, taboon bread, tomato, and cucumber. Toppings include tahini, hummus, pickled turnips and amba. Shawarma is a fast-food staple across the Middle East, Europe and the Caucasus.

Sort of like a gyro or doner kebab. (same thing, really) They are very tasty, especially the ones I had from the greasy spoon take-aways in Marmaris, Turkey when I was in the Navy. Yumm.

On topic - my wife bought tickets for a Saturday evening showing for my birthday present. Can't wait. Borrowed Iron Man from the library and gonna run a mini-marathon with it, Captain America, and Thor (which I own) in my house tomorrow and Friday.

Which Hulk movie are they using as a prequel (if any)--Eric Bana or Ed Norton?

The movie doesn't direct,y reference either Hulk movie. The official tie-in comic series "Nick Fury's Big Week" (or something - can't remember the name) depicts Black Widow witnessing some of the events of the Norton movie.

Thanks. If it doesn't really play with either, then I won't bother hitting up the library for them.

There were a couple of scenes where the computer screens Stark and Fury were looking at showed footage of Hulk (and other characters) from previous incidents, but the clips were seconds long, and I couldn't make out which Hulk movie they were referencing.

Edit: It's possible they weren't from either, since now that I think about it there were also clips of Hawkeye and Black Widow fighting together.

Could be a hint towards (yet) another Hulk movie given that whatshisface has signed a six movie deal with Marvel.

A lot of fans have been complaining about the lack of a russian accent when Black Widow speaks english, but it was stated in the comics that she can speak english without any accent at all if she wants to.

The funny thing is that she speaks russian at the beginning of Avengers and in an interview Scarlett said she had a good translator teaching her so she wouldn't sound like she was just reciting Berlitz.

Why funny? Because the answer from the comics from Black Widow regarding her excellent english goes: "long expensive hours at Berlitz". I think Josh might know that.

Just got back from one of the best movie experiences I've had in a long time... There were so many scenes where the laughter or cheering made me miss the next line!

And if he really is dead, at least Coulson went out with a very literal and awesome bang.. Blasting Loki with the BFG? "Oh, that's what it does"

I'm thinking that the cards being in his locker, not his pocket, was a hint that maybe he isn't and that Fury told them he was to get them to band together. Thus the disapproving look from whoever it was that made that observation.
