Maybe that scene will make it on the DVD/Blu-ray version.

Ok yeah last thing I want to see is a non aged Captain America with some 90 year old woman at some taco bell. Good idea to cut or not include anything like this.

I have to say I really have not been this excited over a blockbuster movie for quite some time. As corny as it sounds, it really is the culmination of everything I have loved my entire life. I grew up reading comic books, especially when I was younger Marvel related stuff. I used to underoos pretending to be a super hero. I literally have pictures of me in my family album in Captain American underoos playing with my favorite Captain America action-figure (man, I wish I kept all of those), and over the years I have watched every single live action related movie, TV show, etc., that Marvel ever produced. I still have a VHS tape of the live action Captain America TV Show. Even though they were all so incredibly cheesy, I loved them, as they were showing something I grew up pretending to want to be live and as real as they possibly could be. The issue was always the special effects of the times could not do any justice to the characters and events. Now obviously the effects are more then capable, and they are treating it all seriously, so this is as I started out saying, very much a culmination of what I always wanted to watch during my 37 years on this planet thus far. Seriously cannot wait.

Please, people, no spoilers outside spoiler tags, until world-wide, i.e. US and Europe, release

Anything that spoils anything, even quotes, MUST be in spoilers. Especially seeing as film isn't on general release worldwide yet

Yep any spoilers should be kept in tags

Man, the movie is awesome, from the development to portrayal of individual characters. I liked how they portrayed Loki - truly a cunning villain and not some cliche superstrong enemy stuff.

If my eyes didn't deceive me at mid-credits, Thanos would be the villain for the movie sequel.

Just watched The Avengers and the movie is soo awesome =] I thought the humour is especially done well and with good taste like

when the Hulk approaches Loki and Loki tries to calm/provoke him. But instead, he just grabbed him and smashed him to bits

I really like the way they showed Ironman and Captain America with their personalities. And you should stay back and watch the end credits since

we get to see Thanos(?) and maybe an Avengers 2 sequel teaser.

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
