The Avengers

The Avengers may also be known as "4 guys and a girl we had to include to make it look like we aren't all-out sexists"

Two days ago I saw "The Avengers", and ever since then I find myself being mad that I do not have super human powers, a super cool/futuristic suit, cool gadgets, or a hammer that only I can lift. Also, if I could have the hair of Thor I would die happy. Honestly, the man has the best hair. It's never frizzy or tangled, and is always perfect. Any woman would kill to have Thor's hair. As you can tell, I am very jealous of every Avenger. Except maybe the Hulk. It would be super awkward to wake up in random places, naked, and not remember what I did to end up in said random place. You would think Mark Rufalo would think ahead and maybe pack a pair of pants and a shirt so he could avoid the awkwardness, but I guess no one would take the Hulk seriously if he was wearing a fanny pack, even if he was killing aliens. But I guess he is a super genius, so maybe that partially makes up for it.
At any point did Tony Stark think about switching out his suit for a new one? I've got to believe that he has multiple suits, and he could have helped himself out by switching suits. I can forgive him for this though, as he is the sassiest of the Avengers, and I can appreciate that. I also noticed that there were only about 2.8 seconds worth of film that featured Captain America wearing the hoodie part of his costume. Honestly, that costume shouldn't have a hood. There's no need. Too high of a risk of messing up his hair I think.Clint Barton/Hawkeye is the Legolas of the Avengers, minus the amazing hair. Does every action/epic movie require that a male character has to have great hair? Anyway, I guess he's got the exploding arrows and gadgets that Legolas didn't have. Did the Black Widow never get too hot in that outfit? You would think that she would come up with something a little more breathable.
I thought the movie was really good, but I have one problem with it. After effectively destroying New York City while saving humanity, couldn't the Avengers have stuck around a little longer to help clean up? I mean come on, they totally could have at least cleared some debris or picked up some alien corpses on their way out, but no, super heroes were never taught to clean up after themselves. But no, they just had to rush off to wherever they go when they're done saving Earth.
I don't know why The Avengers couldn't stick around, I guess they had stuff to do or whatever, what I do know if that there is going to be a sequel. And probably several spinoffs, so get excited for that.
If there are any super heroes or future Tony Starks out there, call me.
