Best superhero, I have ever seen.An incredible balance between action, story and humor.
Since Thanos will be in Avengers 2, how are the Avengers going to beat Thanos?
I hope that they don't make Thanos too underpowered.
Given Thanos's power level, the current Avengers don't have the power to beat him.

I would think that Thanos would prove to be too much for the Avengers then the Avengers would get some outside help along the lines of Odin or Doctor Strange.
There's no way the Avengers should be able to beat Thanos without help.

I think it was the tourneys that did it. I like to know what's coming next, so I connect the dots. And I came to about 2 likely conclusions about the sequel, picked the one I thought most likely, and had my moment of triumph. As soon as the credits hit, I leaned over to my friend and whispered
Spoiler:. It would have been too easy to wait for the word
Thanos
Spoiler:or to say "well, it might be this or this..." I like an audience. I like being right almost as much. It was a little too easy, but I got to look awesome doing it.

I was straight drunk watching this movie. No joke, just lit. Couldn't have been more awesome. **** power levels, we're the only ones that care about that. It was good times.

The army was clearly a threat or the avengers wouldn't have been needed.
My issues?:1.
Spoiler:
the threat wasn't threatening. In all honesty, the closest Hawkeye came to dieing was when he repelled down and crashed through the windows. I never for one moment believed that anything other than Loki himself (who also was more of a joke) was a viable threat to the team....or any member of the team for that matter. BW was beating up multiple aliens....HAND TO HAND. Sorry, not impressed.

I was not happy how they treated Thor's character. Sure, Hulk needed a good film showing A HELL OF A LOT MORE than Thor, and honestly, Joss Whedon just made the greatest film Hulk to date. However, Thor probably shouldn't have even been in the movie. He didn't accomplish much at all, except look bad fighting Iron Man, Hulk and cap...and standing around clinching his fist while everyone else was fighting....I mean honestly, What the HELL was up with that. Forget power levels, I just want to think that the so called "Protector of Midgard" would do a little more for his planet than stand around letting everyone else do all the work... REALLY disappointed with Joss and Marvel for Thor's overall effectiveness.
Spoiler:... something only he could have done. You personally may have preferred to see him more engaged in the battle, but in the context of the movie, his character was handled fine.

What Nick Fury said in the film is kinda irrelevant to someone's opinion or critique of the film or what it could've done better.
And again, despite what Fury says, the army wasn't really a threat. Had the nuclear payload reached its target, problem solved. Also, the aliens were weak, it wouldn't have stood against the full military might of the USA even without going nuclear (as someone pointed out, Widow could take them on merely with H2H).
Originally posted by Placidityit was relevant and his opinion wasn't about what the movie could have done better... he said the invasion wasn't a threat, which isn't true. The very fact that they were going to resort to nuking the city is a slap in the face to your argument. Also, it's not my opinion that the aliens were a threat, it's a fact coming directly from a character in the movie.

There's also the fact that, even if they had nuked the city and killed all the aliens currently on Earth, there were still unknown numbers of aliens on the other side of the portal... so unless you're suggesting that the nuke would shut down the portal, that action would have done nothing but kill humans and temporarily halt the invasion.
Again, Widow is an AVENGER, Not an ordinary member of the miltary; if the problem could have been handled by the military, what was the purpose asking for the Avengers help?

I don't get it, the fact that a character in the film states something means we as the audience have to throw away our rational thinking? They resorted to nuking the city because it was the easiest solution when dealing with unknown entities. The military could have handled it fine.

Could be argued either way. But the effects of the nuclear explosion would've gone through the portal as well. Also, had the "Council" or Fury been wiser, he could've told them to send the nuke through the portal, instead of having Iron Man to redirect it.

Point is, Widow is a HUMAN. The point was how easily an alien could be downed, by human-powered strikes.
Because of the plot obviously. Like I said, Nuke could've been directed through the portal, although the Avengers would've provided that intel. Also, Avengers were a first response team, being able to mobilize much quicker. No one said Avengers didn't save more lives, but eventually if and when the US organized and launched a coordinated attack, the Aliens would not have survived.
The point is, if you want a genuine threat that is actually as bad as they say, it would probably be better represented by someone like the Silver Surfer in FF4II who demonstrates human fire power is a mere nuisance to him, or they've could've given Loki some spells that show large scale damage or some other way to add a greater sense of power. If they wanted to go with the army angle, thats fine too, but don't make them look like complete fodder on space bikes.
This story resembles the Secret Origins story from Justice League, where the founding members first join together to defeat an alien invasion. The difference is it was shown the military was engaging the aliens but was completely ineffective against their technologies, hence only the unique abilities of the team combined was able to defeat the invaders. Also the aliens themselves had powers and were not easily killed.
