Minute One Hundred: From A Barrier of Pure Energy to Tony Pouring Himself a Drink

TwitchTV’s MarvelousTay joins us in this episode!

In the one-hundredth minute of The Avengers

JARVIS tells Tony that the Tesseract’s barrier is pure energy. So… should Tony have maybe realized something like that and not blasted at it? And meanwhile, was Loki just standing below giggling as he watched Tony’s attempt? What this leads to – plan B – is Tony landing on his platform and letting the car wash take the Mark VI off. This may be the last time we get to see the outfit except maybe on display. But it’s a chance for Tony and Loki to head inside and confront one another.

Tony’s great at this sort of scene. It’s all about his ulterior motives – getting his Mark VII bracelets on – which will happen in tomorrow’s minute, but today, he gets things set up. He tells Loki he’s threatening him and offers him a drink. He also runs down the list of heroes that he has to stop Loki, even going so far as to call them The Avengers. That’s right, we get the title of the film called out in this minute. It only too 100 minutes of screen time to get here!

We love Loki’s reaction to hearing his brother brought up, and it’s clearly no accident that Tony mentions him first. Plus, Tony pokes fun at Loki’s scepter by giving it its own nickname, earning it its spot in our Tony Nickname Tracker! (It’s #6 from this film, for those wondering.) All in all, it’s a great conversation between two characters with massive egos, and a great conversation with our guest. Tune in!
