As footage rolled of the Avengers' logo, a big "A," we heard Samuel L. Jackson's voice: "Super heroes came together," he bellowed, "the day the Avengers were formed."
Then they came out one by one.
Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson. Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Chris Evans as Captain America. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye. Mark Ruffallo as The Hulk. Joss Whedon as The Director.
Downey calls this film more ambitious than Inception.
Joss Whedon had tears in his eyes. He said, "I had a dream all my life and it wasn't this good." And 6500 hundred people in Hall H screamed from the very depths of their multiverse-loving souls.
