(#1) The Guy Playing Galaga Is About To Beat The High Score
Tony Stark's "he's playing Galaga!" quip has to be one of the best lines in the entire MCU. It's amazing there's even more layers to this joke. From Redditor /u/SMOKLM:
In The Avengers (2012) the guy playing Galaga when Stark leaves the room is beating his own high score!
-
(#2) Hawkeye Shoots A Gun Like He's Firing An Arrow
Hawkeye is literally the only person who could get away with shooting a gun like this. Even if it's just a movie. From Redditor /u/rob_ob:
In The Avengers (2012) when Hawkeye fires at Maria Hill, even though he's shooting a gun, he positions his body with his shoulder blades very far back, just as he would if he were firing bow and arrow. Almost everyone other SHIELD agent in the film uses the traditional 'cup and saucer' method.
-
(#3) A Deleted Scene Shows The Continuity of Howard Stark
Hardly anyone can measure up to the Russo Brothers when it comes to continuity. From Redditor /u/LongjumpingParamedic:
Avengers (2012) deleted scene shows Tony Stark's parent's date of death that matches up with their date of death in Captain America Civil War (2016), assuming their bodies were found the next morning.
-
(#4) Steve And Tony End Up Proving Each Other Wrong
These two and their drama, huh? As much as we hate watching them fight, we're glad we ended this way. From Redditor /u/forumsspammer666:
In Avengers: Endgame, both Iron Man and Captain America prove each other's arguments wrong from Avengers (2012).
-
(#5) Chris Evans Had To Cover His 'Snowpiercer' Beard
In some behind-the-scenes action, apparently the post credit scene was shot while Evans was still sporting one of Cap's much later looks. From Redditor /u/gau-tam:
In The Avengers (2012) post credits scene at the shawarma stall, Cap (Chris Evans) is scene resting his face on his hand and not eating anything. This is because the scene was shot too late (after the premier) and Evans — who was working on Snowpiercer (2013) — had grown a beard.
He also wore a prosethic jaw to make sure the illusion wasn't broken.
-
(#6) Banner Subtly Suggests He'll Never Get What He Wants
Mark Ruffalo's Hulk perfectly conveyed the complex difficulties of being tasked with such a tumultuous power. This one line of dialogue becomes even heavier when you take account of Banner's actions. From Redditor /u/scorpions411:
In The Avengers (2012), when Natasha Romanov says that Bruce Banner probably doesn't want to break his streak of a year without incident, Bruce replies that he doesn't always get what he wants while gently rocking an empty baby cradle.
-
(#7) Bruce Banner's Confession Is A Reference To The 2008 Video Game
One of the most depressing bits of dialogue to come out of the entire MCU happens in The Avengers. The tragic scene Bruce Banner describes is actually illustrated in The Incredible Hulk game from 2008. From Redditor /u/AymanIhsan:
In The Avengers (2012), Bruce Banner referenced a scene in The Incredible Hulk game (2008), "I got low. I didn't see an end, so I put a bullet in my mouth and the other guy spit it out."
-
(#8) Steve Gets Briefed With A Paper File Instead Of Fury's Usual Holograms
Steve often gets special treatment because he's a hundred years old. Honestly, it's kind of adorable? From Redditor /u/Dipolar-Abyss:
In Avengers (2012), Nick Fury used a regular paper file when recruiting Captain America. He most likely did this because it’s been so long since Cap was last awake, and he would probably understand it better than a holographic display.
-
(#9) Even While Compromised, Clint Still Refers To Fury By 'Director'
Although Hawkeye is compromised quite early on in The Avengers, there's a few subtle hints in the dialogue that let the audience know he's still in there. From Redditor /u/The_Safe_For_Work:
In The Avengers (2012) Even though Barton is being mind controlled by Loki, he still respects Nick Fury enough to call him Director Fury.
He also aims specifically for Fury's vest, doing the least amount of possible damage.
-
(#10) Tony Built SHIELD New Tech After An Incident In 'Avengers'
One of the best things to keep track of during an MCU marathon is the way Tony Stark evolves. Through his technological advancements and his character development, the audience gets to subtly see Tony's growth. From Redditor /u/Luis_Y_Que:
In The Avengers (2012), Iron Man is sucked into the turbine rotors during repairs for the SHIELD helicarrier and his suit is damaged. Later, in Captain America: Winter Soldier (2014), SHIELD helicarriers feature new rotor-less turbines designed by Stark so that this wouldn't happen again.
-
(#11) Tony Recalled Coulson's Love Interest
An underrated Tony Stark scene if there ever was one includes this short exchange between him and Agent Coulson. From Redditor /u/ZachJonesIsShort:
In Avengers (2012) Tony over hears Pepper ask Coulson about the cellist he was seeing. Later in the movie Tony tries to get Coulson to see the cellist again, then informs Cap that Coulson did have a love interest after he dies.
-
(#12) Gwyneth Paltrow Is Barefoot To Mitigate The Height Difference
Gwyneth Paltrow happens to be a few inches taller than her MCU romantic counterpart. This is tackled in a few different ways. From Redditor /u/YouKnowABitJonSnow:
In The Avengers (2012) Pepper Potts is barefoot in stark tower whilst Tony Stark wears shoes. This was done to mitigate the height difference between Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr.
-
(#13) The Display In Iron Man's Helmet Lets Us Know He's Overpowered
Tony's helmet gives the audience a split second to take in a lot of valuable information. From Redditor /u/Lagaash:
In The Avengers (2012), Thor accidentally overcharges Iron Man's armor during their first confrontation. Later in the movie, when Tony is helping to restart the helicarrier engine, we can see that the suit is still overcharged, albeit to a lower amount.
-
(#14) Tony's Arc Reactor Lights Back Up When Bruce Jolts Him Awake
There's a well of mysteries and details all hidden in Iron Man's complex and irrefutably awesome suit. From Redditor /u/OlympusMan:
In The Avengers (2012) Tony's Arc Reactor is initially dimmed after his fall, it relights after Hulk revives him.
