I think Americans are smarter than that …

Saw The Avengers tonight with the lovely 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!

Having grown up during the IRA campaigns, I always have multiple routes to get to where I am going in my head in case streets are closed for bomb threats ;-) It becomes A Thing, doesn't it?

And yes, I would have had no issues if it were people some distance away, just those in immediate danger going 'Huh?' seemed quite unlikely to me!
