I think it's just one of the many many plot holes. Wibble Send a noteboard - 07/05/2012 08:20:06 PM
Others that spring to mind:

*Why would an alien race invade earth if they cannot stop nuclear missles, we have 1000's of the damn things, i'm sure they knew this. And why did we need the avengers at all? It was laughably easy, just shoot a damn nuke into the whole.

*Why would the aliens decide all of a sudden to hold people hostage in a bank, when uptil then they've just been shooting? (Other than a desperate search for something for Captain Sweatpants to do)

*How on earth don't shield know that one of their planes is missing, and why haven't they changed callsigns after one of their chief operatives switched sides. I mean come on, what kind of elite intelligence agency is this?

*Why didn't anyone have a gun, especially Captain America who spent most of his 1st movie...shooting a gun.

*Why weren't the fighter jets getting involved? They can launch missiles from 100 miles out ffs, and the baddies had already shown they couldn't dodge a damn arrow/shield/fist/anything.

etc etc.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but the lack of internal logic infuriated.
