A Yahoo! video is popping up on the blogosphere because it's the original opening for The Avengers, and it's setting a really, really, really different tone than what we saw in theaters. I will offer this slightly spoilery statement on the scene, which is a little bit more than a minute long: it's a bummer, you guys. Included on the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray, it also offers a little more insight into the relationship between Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). (via io9)

    Glad they didn’t. I hate when movies/shows start with the ending and pull the “one week earlier”  bullcrap.

    Though the darker movie the clip hints at could have been good too.

      I’ll grant an exception to “Breaking Bad.”

       I grant an exception to Fight Club and anything done by Quentin Tarantino.

      Yes, or just because it’s a fun movie.
