*SPOILERS* Last time I say it...
































Made it? Cool.

Coulson Dies

The name's Coulson.  Agent... Coulson

Let's be honest: this was incredibly depressing. Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) pulls out a prototype weapon made after the destroyer attacked New Mexico (from Thor). This is right after Hulk goes nuts, almost kills Widow, and fights Thor. Loki is loose and has locked Thor in the Hulk's cage. Coulson shows up, threatening Loki with the weapon. Loki is of course actually behind him and stabs him through the back. Agent Phil Coulson ends up becoming the fuel that feeds the Avenger's fire, and drives them together. Coulson was a fan-favorite character, and will be sorely missed.

Loki's Army is From Thanos

Thanos-powers: strong jawline

At the begining of the movie, we hear a deep and mysterious voice talking to Loki about how the tesseract is active, and he will be given an army, the Chitauri, to go after it. It's revealed during the mid-credits scene that this voice belongs to the creature Thanos. He's of the Eternal race, although he also has the Deviant Gene in him.  These are both races from space, and are loosely based on Greek Mythology. Thanos is a bad, bad dude, who basically is either chilling out on Saturn's moon Titan, or fighting superheroes.  Look for him to be the main villain in The Avengers II. Thanos can absorb and project cosmic energy, time-travel, travel through alternate universes, teleport, is exceptionally strong and durable, is basically immortal, and doesn't need to eat, sleep, or drink anything to stay alive, amongst other things. Case-in-point, he'll prove much more of a challenge than Loki and the Chitauri.

Tony Stark's Mark VII

After Tony's arc reactor prevents Loki from taking over his mind, Loki decides to do things the messy way and throws Tony out of Stark Tower. Not the low part either...the high part. Tony has Jarvis deploy the new Mark VII armor, which flies out after him, attaches to him via some nifty bracelets Tony puts on, and then encloses him in the sexiest armor yet from the genius. The Ironman Mark VII features added thrusters on the back, a heavier payload than previous models, and reverts back to the circular chestpiece. All-in-all it's pretty cool.

Look at your man! Now back at me!  And then just look at me forever...

Stark Tower Will Become Avengers Tower.

The only structure that can withstand the awesomeness

In the comics, it's Stark Mansion. In the movie, it's Stark Tower. At the end of The Avengers we see Tony and Pepper (yes,she's in the movie) inside the slightly-demolished tower, working on a new design. The camera zooms out, and we clearly see that only the "A" of "STARK" remains attached, foreshadowing that it will become the new Avengers headquarters.

The "Secret Scene"

Kevin Fiege lied. He said they were just changing something small, and "audiences wouldn't even be able to tell the difference." Well suck it Kevin, because we all did. The button scene after the credits was only aired in US theaters (cuz this is 'merica), AFTER the secret scene was filmed. So far it's the only difference from the international version. There's no new characters involved (there goes my main reason for writing Marvel's Expanding Universe...), no new plot elements, in fact there isn't any dialogue at all. It's just all of the heroes at a roughed-up New York restaurant, still in costume, eating shawarma. After Tony almost falls to his death (this would be shortly after throwing a nuclear bomb through the portal at the Chitauri mothership), he says everyone should go eat shawarma. He doesn't even know what it is, but wants to try it really bad.
