Minute Eight: From A Chat About Ants & Boots to Team Loki Leaving the Runway

Joining us on the show, it’s TruStory FM’s favorite son Tommy Metz III!

In the eighth minute of The Avengers

This minute is all about the conversation between Loki and Nick Fury. It plays really well, and the two of them have some great lines. Some of them play quite funny, though, if you start thinking about possible comedic retorts. One of our issues arises, though, once Clint Barton, now under Loki’s mind control, starts talking about the swirling energy that’s about to bring the place down. It feels written, like they needed an out to just get everyone moving. But… couldn’t they have just shot Fury and walked out? The ticking time bomb that is this base feels a bit forced. Regardless, shooting Fury was a great surprise. Was there ever any sense that he might be dead?

Lots to dig into this minute. Tune in!
