** In a similar way, one could argue the movies of Phase 2 were about loosing something as part of being a hero (Iron Man got PTSD and destroyed his armors, Thor's mother (and quite possibly dad) died and he abdicated the throne, Cap lost any trust in S.H.I.E.L.D and lost S.H.I.E.L.D itself.) Presumably Age of Ultron will destroy the Avengers as a team, leading to a Phase 3 where the age of heroes is torn down (as it starts with a Civil War and ends with an Infinity War with a well known HeroKiller).
* Some might wonder why Coulson simply didn't shoot the robbers in ''A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Thor's Hammer.'' Well, police are a lot more interested when a couple of punks end up with bullet holes than they are when some mystery man simply beats them up.

** Coulson also knew that he (and the clerk) weren't in any real danger; he probably thought up using the flour bag as soon as he mentions moving to the other aisle. Those punks never stood a chance.
* The reason for Coulson's resurrection in the ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' can be considered meta: In the ''Film/IronMan'' and ''Thor'' movies he was the BreakoutCharacter, an AscendedExtra - in other words, a perfect MauveShirt to be mercilessly killed by Creator/JossWhedon. However, shortly before his death in ''Film/TheAvengers'' Coulson made his first actual appearance in an Earth-616 comic book set in the mainstream Marvel universe. CanonForeigner no more, he became a CanonImmigrant and a proper comic book character. As soon as he made his debut in a comic, his eventual resurrection became assured by the same cosmic power that insures that while comic book characters may die, they never ''stay dead''.
* A common complaint in the Iron Man films is that Tony is the only person that ever needed to practice with his armors while everyone else seems to pick it up immediately. Odds are, as he improved on his suits, he made the controls simpler and simpler.
* Just like the comics, The Hulk wasn't able to hold his own movie/comic series at first. He worked best as either a backup issue or a team member. While probably greatly unintentional, it's an interesting call back to the original status of the Hulk.

* The first four movies before ''Film/TheAvengers'' were all about someone having the ability to be a hero but not the qualities until he had to step up to the challenge: ''Film/IronMan'' was about the egotistic genius billionaire Tony Stark seeing first hand what his weapons were doing to innocents and being unable to use the normal means to stop it, so he had to use the Iron Man armor to stop the terrorists (and Stane) and destroy the weapons himself; ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' was about Banner trying to cure himself of Hulk until Abomination entered the frame, at which point he renounced to any future attempt to get a cure so he'd be able to stop him and any other possible gamma monster; ''[[Film/IronMan Iron Man 2]]'' was about a dying Tony choosing Pepper and Rhodey as his successors as CEO of Stark Industries and Iron Man and getting them to step up to the challenge; ''Film/{{Thor}}'' is about Thor stopping being selfish and learning humility. Then we have ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', that is about the opposite: Steve ''wants'' to make a difference and stop the Nazis, but first lacks the powers (being a skinny runt before becoming the SuperSoldier) and then the occasion, and has to take them, becoming a hero in the process.

* Of all the movies featuring The Avengers so far, why is Film/IronMan the only one who kills his archenemies? [[TheMightyThor Thor]] is a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy warrior]] who's probably been taught to kill since he could hold a weapon. CaptainAmerica is a soldier. [[TheIncredibleHulk The Hulk]] is a berserker whose killings can be attributed to his animal-like nature. So why is Tony the only one whose enemies end up dead?
** Did you not pay attention to any of the movies? Thor's "archenemy" is, you know, '''''his little brother'''''. Most people are hesitant to kill their siblings, especially when they spend the whole fight desperately trying to talk said little brother out of the fight. The Red Skull, we don't know ''what'' happened to him, but if he survived, it wasn't because Cap held back. Steve was trying to kill him the whole time. The Hulk, did you not watch that fight? The part where he's clearly about to kill Blonski but seeing Betty makes him stop?\\\

* The first four movies before ''Film/TheAvengers'' were all about someone having the ability to be an hero but not the qualities until he had to step up to the challenge: ''Film/IronMan'' was about the egotistic genious billionaire Tony Stark seeing first hand what his weapons were doing to the innocents and being unable to use the normal means to stop it, so he had to use the Iron Man armor to stop the terrorists (and Stane) and destroy the weapons himself; ''Film/TheIncredibleHulk'' was about Banner trying to cure himself of Hulk until Abomination entered the frame, at which point he renounced to any future attempt to get a cure so he'd be able to stop him and any other possible gamma monster; ''Iron Man'' was about a dying Tony choosing Pepper and Rhodey as his successors as CEO of Stark Industries and Iron Man and getting them to step up to the challenge; ''Film/{{Thor}}'' is about Thor stopping being selfish and learning humility. Then we have ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', that is about the opposite: Steve ''wants'' to make a difference and stop the Nazi, but first lacks the powers (being a skinny runt before becoming the SuperSoldier) and then the occasion, and has to take them, becoming an hero in the process.

* Of all the movies featuring TheAvengers so far, why is IronMan the only one who kills his archenemies? [[TheMightyThor Thor]] is a [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy warrior]] who's probably been taught to kill since he could hold a weapon. CaptainAmerica is a soldier. [[TheIncredibleHulk The Hulk]] is a berserker whose killings can be attributed to his animal-like nature. So why is Tony the only one whose enemies end up dead?

** Did you not pay attention to any of the movies? Thor's "archenemy" is, you know, '''''his little brother'''''. Most people are hesitant to kill their siblings, especially when they spend the whole fight desperately trying to talk said little brother out of the fight. The Red Skull, we don't know ''what'' happened to him, but if he survived, it wasn't because Cap held back. Steve was trying to kill him the whole time. The Hulk, did you not watch that fight? The part where he's clearly about to kill Blonski but seeing Betty makes him stop?\\\
