As usual stay for the credits, but there is no additional scene after the Soundgarden song.

Nice Black Sabbath t-shirt mister Stark.

The very last scene has been added for the US release, it was not present in the earlier foreign releases. :(

almost the entire theater stayed for the Thanos scene. Pretty much my group and one other group stayed all the way til the end. I was cracking up so much at that scene.

doesnt suprise me that much. this is a movie that has been advertised for how many years? and all the movies leading up to it were mostly well recieved. And the core audience is even bigger than Harry Potter or Twilight or Hunger Games or any of that shit. plus, its good, which helps.

Peeps (or anyone else with some comic knowledge) -

Is there any significance to "Beth", the waitress that was saved by Cap? There just seemed to be a lot of focus on her, for just some hapless waitress that nearly got killed in that ridiculously good action sequence in NYC. She was in 3 or 4 separate shots spread out throughout the sequence, and got an interview on the news at the end with a nametag visible.

I think she was the one of the Seavers on Growing Pains.

I feel like the end montage was almost setting up the mutant registration act and how some people thought the avengers were to blame and she was a counter point to that.

what mecca said, but for the foreseeable future marvel cant touch the mutants cause of fox. it may be setting up the fear people have of superpowered people running around (only stark was really public knowledge...hulk was a rumor...cap i dont think was reintroduced to the public....thor was a secret...and then widow and hawkeye are just average joes).

in the ultimates comics people get a bit skeeved that there are people out there that can fly, lift trucks, or shoot eye beams and the rest of the world (re our enemies) start working on their own super soldiers.

will marvel go this path? i think it was just a throwaway scene to show that people will accept the heroes

According to imdb, there is a deleted scene: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/faq#.2.1.40

Quote:
The waitress was played by Ashley Johnson. She is simply credited as 'Waitress', but her name badge reads "Beth". There are reports of deleted scenes in which she serves Steve Rogers coffee, and that is why there is an unusual focus on her character in later crowd scenes.

As the last person on Earth to see this, I have to say it was really fucking good. Finally someone nailed down both Bruce Banner and the Hulk.
