I saw the sequences leading up to the attack on the Helicarrier as Loki using his power, through the spear, to pit the Avengers against each other and make them much easier for him to take out-if they didn't take care of that for him. Getting them to stop and think for a moment, without Loki's influence was important, particularly for Rogers and Stark; Thor and Banner had their own "focus" moments, but the two Avengers who could lead a team needed to snap out of their depression over being manipulated by Loki (and acting like asses to each other), and Fury's little bit of theater served that purpose.

Took the kid to see it last night in 3D, in retrospect it wasn't that different except for the big battle scene. However this theater had a much nicer bigger screen and sound.

Didn't get many new different details on second viewing, except... I agree that if Fury would lie about the trading cards, who's to say that Coulson isn't alive after all? The medics arrived quickly, and he *could* have just passed out. I expect him in the Avengers sequel as a RoboCop like hero, or if his spine was injured perhaps more of a professor X.

Rented War Horse last weekend and it was odd seeing Tom Hiddleston being such a nice character... without all the emo black hair and angst he just looks so *friendly*. Shows he's a good actor.
