Bring on the spoilers

I finally got to watch The Avengers. I liked it, but I wasn't blown away. Maybe partly because I have never read any of the relevant comics.

So I invite those of you who had strong feelings about it to talk about what you loved/hated about it.

Also, where's the best fanfic? :)

(If I were writing Avengers fanfic, I would write it about Loki and one or more of his doubles.)

I loved Natasha's role! She wasn't there to be eye candy or tragically killed, or a hard-ass Strong Female Character with no particular characterisation beyond that: she had her own story, friends, goals and methods and the way she played Loki was downright awesome. The way the movie modernised femme fatale was really fascinating to me.

Yes, she was an excellent character, although I never quite got over the way she was introduced. >:/
