Tony flies the nuke through the one-sided space hole and everyone cheers, but the battle’s no...

In the one-hundred-twenty-sixth minute of The Avengers...The chase is on! Tony spots the nuke and does a great U-turn under the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge between Staten Island and Long Island.

In the one-hundred-twenty-third minute of The Avengers...What happens when Hawkeye runs out of arrows? We get to explore that in this minute in great detail.

TA122: Never Skip Leg Day
July 25, 2023 10:00 - 39 minutes - 18.7 MBMinute One Hundred Twenty Two: From Erik’s Secret Safety to Quickdraw Archery on the RooftopLester Clark and Kynan Dias from The Exorcist Minute join us in this episode! In the one-hundred-twenty-second minute of The Avengers...There’s a space where the film might have made more sense if Erik was blinded by his passion for science and willingly did all this work to make this machine, only to realize at this point that he was wrong. That’s not the story we get, and so the fact that Erik someho...
TA121: Making Loki a Joke
July 24, 2023 10:00 - 44 minutes - 20.7 MBMinute One Hundred Twenty One: From Nat’s Tuck-and-Roll Landing to Erik’s Big Reveal... AlmostLachlan Thiele from the Quiet on Set Podcast joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-twenty-first minute of The Avengers...Nat nails her landing on the tippity-top of Stark Tower, and luckily they have walls so she doesn’t roll right off. What’s perfect about her landing is the fantastic match cut we get from her flipping her hair (certainly required in every film by this point) to Loki doing th...
TA120: Skipping All the Steps
July 21, 2023 10:00 - 42 minutes - 20.1 MBMinute One Hundred Twenty: From Fury Recognizing the Council’s Decision to Black Widow’s Leap of FaithFather David Mowry, Chaplain of the Movies by Minutes community, joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-twentieth minute of The Avengers...Ah, the World Security Council. We have fun delving into the complexities of a shadow organization like this, and how it relates to SHIELD.

TA119: The War Crime Bomb
July 20, 2023 10:00 - 36 minutes - 17 MBMinute One Hundred Nineteen: From Cap Lost in a Looking Glass to Cap Lost in His ThoughtsFather David Mowry, Chaplain of the Movies by Minutes community, joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-nineteenth minute of The Avengers...We’re back with Cap in that little side mirror. What were they trying to say here? Or was it just something to do because it looks cool and perhaps feels a bit more like an image you’d find on the pages of a comic book? We land on the latter. Regarding Hawkeye’s...
TA118: The Electric Eyeball Pop
July 19, 2023 10:00 - 22 minutes - 10.5 MBMinute One Hundred Eighteen: From A Game of Follow-the-Arrow to Our Second Odd Mirror Shot of the FilmIn the one-hundred-eighteenth minute of The Avengers...It’s the second half of our fantastic single shot traveling from hero to hero, and we’re here for it. In this minute, we follow Hawkeye’s arrow to the Chitauri it hits to the leviathan it crashes into to Hulk and Thor on the back of the beast. It’s quite a ride! Unfortunately, this does lead to more devastating treatment of our dear sea c...
TA117: One of the Coolest Maneuvers

Right at UsJames Anderson and Colin Parker from the Timeline Scavengers podcast join us in this episode! In the one-hundred-seventeenth minute of The Avengers...Steve gives Nat a boost and it’s quite the maneuver.

In the one-hundred-sixteenth minute of The Avengers...Tony’s upset that Thor didn’t invite him to play, but why isn’t Tony more concerned about, you know, helping non-supers, like Natasha and Clint, or perhaps actual New York citizens?

In the one-hundred-fifteenth minute of The Avengers...After a run through the various news feeds Fury’s tapped in to, we get to chat a bit with Ewan about Samuel L.

Natasha’s looking tough! That’s right, Steve’s been busy giving orders and everyone’s following as he’s now proven himself to be team leader. Even Hulk listens to him! We do ponder the journey the character of Hulk takes through this franchise and acknowledge that this was a necessary bit of character development for him...
TA113: Protectors Stand Among Us

In the one-hundred-thirteenth minute of The Avengers...It’s a big one! We’ve got the death of the leviathan but really, we’re here for the hero moment with the camera revolving around all six of our heroes, now finally THE AVENGERS. It’s a great moment.

In the one-hundred-twelfth minute of The Avengers...We finally get to find out Bruce’s secret!

In the one-hundred-eleventh minute of The Avengers...Tony got the leviathan’s attention and it pursues him, but when we cut to Clint and Natasha, we don’t see him overhead. Weird, but not really bothersome. This minute focuses on the fight that our non-supers – Clint and Natasha – have with the ...
TA110: The Hierarchy of Authority
July 07, 2023 10:00 - 26 minutes - 12.7 MBMinute One Hundred Ten: From The NYPD Taking Aim to The End of the Sabrett Hot Dog Cart In the one-hundred-tenth minute of The Avengers...NYPD REPRESENT! That’s right, we get to talk about the NYPD taking on the Chitauri, even after finding out the National Guard isn’t coming. It does give us a chance to talk about the nature of these military organizations and why, perhaps, it makes sense to not feature them in these superhero films. After all, if all the USA’s military might was also here, ...
TA109: The Captain America Triple Jump
July 06, 2023 10:00 - 28 minutes - 13.6 MBMinute One Hundred Nine: From Fish in a Barrel to More Fish in a BarrelRyanne Bennett from Black Girl Nerds joins us in this episode!

In the one-hundred-eighth minute of The Avengers...Loki proves himself yet again to be ever malicious toward his brother as he stabs Thor and – after Thor’s surprising body slam power move – rolls himself off the tower. But... did he know a chariot was coming? It seems far too lucky for that to happen. That brings us back to street level with Clint and ...

In the one-hundred-seventh minute of The Avengers...The leviathan arrives! But... what is it? Is it actually related to the Chitauri? When they’re popping out the sides, is that Chitauri babies being born? It seems that way because of the cords they shoot out with that then seem to retract back in. It’s very strange. These things look cool, but how...
TA106: One-Sided Hole
July 03, 2023 10:00 - 28 minutes - 13.4 MBMinute One Hundred Six: From The Quinjet Taking Aim to Ominous Rumblings From the Space HoleRyanne Bennett from Black Girl Nerds joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-sixth minute of The Avengers...Nat and Clint use the quinjet to take on Loki, but why just bullets? Don’t they have missiles or something? And if they did shoot a missile at Stark Tower and knocked it over, would the Tesseract still be emitting the blue beam, just pointing in a different direction from wherever it fell? O...
TA105: Brother Tussle

In the one-hundred-fifth minute of The Avengers...This minute does a great job of cross-cutting between the heroes as they each work to stop Loki and the Chitauri invasion.

TA104: All Blue Beams Lead to Stark Tower
June 29, 2023 10:00 - 22 minutes - 10.5 MBMinute One Hundred Four: From The Blue Beam to Thor Confronting His BrotherFilm Critic Ewan Graf from the Quiet on Set podcast joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-fourth minute of The Avengers...Tony fights on, but only in a wide shot. This minute focuses on the people of New York as the Chitauri fly down (rather quickly) and begin raining down on them with blasts from their chariots and forearm guns. It’s quite a mess. But this is also where we get to really meet our waitress Beth! ...
TA103: The Mark VII and The Blue Beam
June 28, 2023 10:00 - 50 minutes - 23.5 MBMinute One Hundred Three: From Tony Incinerating a Few Pedestrians to Tony Incinerating a Few ChitauriFilm Critic Ewan Graf from the Quiet on Set podcast joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-third minute of The Avengers...More Mark VII talk! We love the way Tony’s new suit attaches itself to him. But the pedestrians... wouldn’t they be incinerated? Or at least have their eyes filled with dust particles? That’s a fairly brutal spraying they get from Tony. At the very least, they’d be b...
TA102: Making Loki Less Smart
June 27, 2023 10:00 - 25 minutes - 12 MBMinute One Hundred Two: From Everything on Loki to The Mark VII Attaching to TonyFilm Critic Ewan Graf from the Quiet on Set podcast joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-second minute of The Avengers...Tony’s finishing his response to Loki, and this is where he gets close to calling out the name of the film again in this scene. It plays, but it might be too clever by half. The real issue comes immediately afterward when Loki decides to try his mind control scepter tap on Tony’s chest,...
TA101: Saying the Title Out Loud
June 26, 2023 10:00 - 31 minutes - 15 MBMinute One Hundred One: From Loki’s Periodic Reminder About the Chitauri to Tony Acknowledging Loki’s Army Might Come.TwitchTV’s MarvelousTay joins us in this episode! In the one-hundred-first minute of The Avengers...It’s been just enough time that we needed to have the Chitauri mentioned again. Tony doesn’t seem to care because as he says, “We have a Hulk.” It’s a fun line, but he doesn’t say “the Hulk” or just “Hulk”... is he implying he knows more about where these gamma experiments are g...

In the one-hundredth minute of The Avengers...JARVIS tells Tony that the Tesseract’s barrier is pure energy. So... should Tony have maybe realized something like that and not blasted at it?

In the ninety-ninth minute of The Avengers...Fury responds to Maria Hill’s comment about where Coulson had his cards, letting us in on his big lie. Knowing what we know about the deleted scenes with her, this moment actually feels like a point where the character makes a shift, starting to see what he sees. It’s a g...

In the ninety-eighth minute of The Avengers...Steve finds Natasha in the sick bay and seems to have forgotten that she flew him to Stuttgart and back in a quinjet as he asks her if she knows how to fly one. Okay, so the line is really only there to get Clint in the room where he and Steve meet, but it’s an awkward line. But Clint is...

In the ninety-sixth minute of The Avengers...We wrap up our conversation about Clint and Natasha as she, once again, brings up the red in her ledger. Does this play? We certainly have thoughts.

In the ninety-fifth minute of The Avengers...We’re nearing the end of the conversation in the sick bay between Natasha and Clint. This minute, their dialogue leads to several issues we have. One, didn’t Clint know more of the plan? It seems to be convenient for the plot for him to not know now as we need Tony to make the discove...
TA094: Be Like Clint

In the ninety-fourth minute of The Avengers...Natasha and Clint continue their conversation as Clint works through the dregs of Loki’s mind control. The bg question, of course, is why does she pour him water then never give it to him?
