I think Americans are smarter than that …
Saw The Avengers tonight with the lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pushdragon, and we enjoyed it very much. The script was a thing of joy :-)
But I have a quibble, that isn't worth a spoiler cut because every American super/monster movie made since 1930 has had a fight scene in New York, so of course this one does, too.
And I do not believe that in this day and age, when New Yorkers see things exploding in the sky, their response would be to stand there and gape. Rick Rescorla had a bigger impact than that, oh film-makers!
This, and one other thing, and a few pacing issues aside – it's terrific!

It's a perfect city for super heroes, though, from architecture to attitude. If only some of its financiers had read the 'great responsibility' parts of the canon ...
And I absolutely cannot read any Avengers fic, being currently about three years behind in my Potter fandom stuff (how I can be this crap is a mystery to me, too).
