Movie bloopers can be a mixed bag-- watching movie stars giggle together is usually a good time, but I usually can't help but wonder how much money is being wasted every time someone ruins a take by looking into the camera and winking. Whatever money got lost of the set of The Avengers when Chris Hemsworth couldn't catch his hammer, though, surely got made up at the box office-- which means you can watch this trailer, made up entirely of bloopers from the movie, with your conscience intact.
The slow-motion shot of Hemsworth bobbling his hammer while Chris Evans grabs the shield and goes into full Cap mode is probably my favorite, and the part of the video where the bloopers fit into trailer format the most seamlessly. Points to Cobie Smulders, though, for her goofy up-in-the-camera Maria Hill shouting "You will be avenged!" We've seen superhero movies with that level of acting, Cobie, and we appreciate you bringing something better to the table. For more of both those scenes, along with other silliness, here's the actual Avengers gag reel below:
You'll have to forgive us for still fixating on The Avengers even though we're nearly at the end of 2013. Even if you loved Iron Man 3 or even Thor: The Dark World, it's hard not to acknowledge that the year's big blockbusters have had a hell of a hard time living up to the legacy of The Avengers-- and not just in terms of cash. Next year looks a little more promising, with The Amazing Spider-Man 2, X-Men: Days of Future Past and Guardians of the Galaxy on the way, but it's going to be until 2015 when you can see your Avengers united again; The Avengers: Age of Ultron arrives May 1, 2015.
