NERDOLOGY #1

Alright, let's get the ball rolling again with a bit of a nerdy opinion! As many people know, Marvel regularly adds short scenes after-credits teasing the next movie. And the one in the Avengers movie presents an exciting new villain, one that has created a little confusion with your average Joe who came there for the fight scenes like he saw in previous Marvel movies. Picture this, a die-hard fan and his average Joe friend go see the Avengers. The fan is pleased with the characters and Joe is hypnotized by Bay'splosions and Scarlett Johansen. As the credits roll, Joe shakily gets up to go, but Fan stops him and tells him to wait a few more minutes. Que aforementioned scene. Fan gets very excited and smugly asks Joe who he thinks the new villain is. Joe thinks very hard, and after a few minutes (perhaps hours) his face lights up and he loudly proclaims: "OMG IT'S THE RED SKULL" *Facepalm* To clear this up for you, the fellow you saw was Thanos, a ridiculously powerful Avengers/Fantastic Four villain who has a crush on Death (or a physical maifestation of, you guessed it, death)

Yeah, there you go.

More to come... Maybe?
