History Memes / TheAvengers2012

* Although Franchise/SpiderMan was never really a core member of the Avengers in the comics until the last decade, his absence from the movie has become so widely discussed and debated that it's a frequent subject of jokes, [[AscendedMeme to the]] [[ApprovalOfGod point that]] both [[http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/story/2012-05-04/marvel-the-avengers-robert-downey-jr-mark-ruffalo-chris-evans-chris-hemsworth/54738726/1 Chris Hemsworth (with Chris Evans agreeing with him)]] and ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan'''s star [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KatTVGAEu80 Andrew Garfield]] and director [[http://ca.eonline.com/news/326824/amazing-spider-man-director-marc-webb-talks-avengers-sequels-and-supervillains Marc Webb]] have expressed their desire to see Spidey in sequels. Sure enough, in February 2015, it was announced that Spider-Man is finally joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Marvel Studios struck a deal with Creator/{{Sony}}. Unfortunately for them, the ''Amazing Spider-Man'' franchise has been completely abandoned and [[{{Irony}} Webb and Garfield are no longer involved]].

** Following this film, Wiki/TheOtherWiki always describes Tony as "a self-proclaimed genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist" in the cast list of any MCU movie he shows up in.

* "Not a good plan."
* "I have an army."\\

* Loki calling Black Widow a "[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar mewling]] [[CountryMatters quim]]". It's produced some [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3chhfz2mp1qewfmxo1_400.jpg interesting]] [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gdf8yQ2X1qchotbo1_500.jpg reactions]], to say the least.

* The scene wherein the Hulk turns around, the camera cuts to Captain America and tells him to "Smash." and then the Hulk grins back is infamous on Imgur for a different reason - someone edited it so instead of cutting to Captain America, it cuts to Black Widow and after the Hulk grins, [[Rule34 an edited pornographic scene]] appears. Imgur knows it as "The GIF", and any mention of it is bound to include commenters mourning a username-less post with the words [deleted] in the comment, because an individual was banned for posting pornographic content.

* "I understood that reference" memes usually get a response of an image of Tony Stark rolling his eyes. Which is how Stark responded to Cap's comment in the movie. The opposite response "I don't understand that reference" is also fairly popular, usually accompanied with a picture of Cap in confused or saddened face.

** Captain America's line "I understood that reference" is often posted in online discussions as a reply to a cultural reference that says "I see what you did there". [[note]] Frozen for seventy years, Steve Rogers is a FishOutOfTemporalWater, which is especially clear when Tony Stark makes several pop-culture references. When Nick Fury refers to the "flying monkeys" from ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', Steve seems inordinately pleased to hear something he can relate to.[[/note]]

** "That's my secret. I'm always ____." An ImageMacro of Bruce Banner saying this line (with the end changed for the poster's point; "drunk", "hungover", "horny", or whatever.)
** Loki calling Black Widow a "[[GettingCrapPastTheRadar mewling]] [[CountryMatters quim]]". It's produced some [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3chhfz2mp1qewfmxo1_400.jpg interesting]] [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3gdf8yQ2X1qchotbo1_500.jpg reactions]], to say the least.
** The phrase [[BuffySpeak "enormous green rage monster"]] to describe the Hulk.

** [[spoiler:[[Website/{{Twitter}} #CoulsonLives]]]], referencing HesJustHiding because of Coulson's huge popularity. This meme got so huge it spawned ''[[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD an entire TV show]]''.
** Not all Marvel fans actually know ''VideoGame/{{Galaga}}'' and thus they don't really realize the scene when Tony calls out on a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for playing ''Galaga'' is related to the scene where said agent is actually shown playing it. So, if there are viewers who innocently ask out loud like this: "What video game is that man playing?", expect an answer like this: "That man is playing ''Galaga''. He thought we wouldn't notice, but we did!" "They thought we wouldn't notice, but we did!" is also used as a respond to various (and especially ''very'' hidden) Easter Eggs in any media franchise, particularly those which related to Marvel.
** "How does ___ even ___ this?"\\

** "When did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"\\

** The [[NoodleIncident brief discussion]] about Budapest between ComicBook/BlackWidow and ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}} has hatched [[https://www.google.com/search?q=avengers+budapest&client=firefox-a&hs=5td&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=QW95VJn1Hs3kuQSZhIGgDg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1024&bih=646 ridiculously many fan theories]].
** Fury's quote "I understand the council has made a decision but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it" is often used by people in various fandoms to express distaste for {{Canon}} and preference for {{Fanon}}.
** The "Genius billionaire playboy philanthropist" scene. This is the scene that spawns the entire Tony/Cap arguing meme of ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar''.
** "You people are so petty... and tiny."

** "Puny god," and related images.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Hulk's BondOneLiner after [[CurbStompBattle trashing Loki in about five seconds flat]], arguably the most memorable shot of the whole film.[[/labelnote]]
