The Avengers: How Much Screen Time Does Each Hero Get?

[ingu]

With six superheroes, one villain, and a single-eyed super administrator crammed into two hours and twelve minutes of The Avengers, it's only natural that a few cast members had to get shorter shrift than others. Director Joss Whedon pulls off an impressive juggling act to fit all those stars into the same movie, but who comes out on top when it

Loki?

First of, really great work. This was something I was wondering myself. How would Whedon manage to pull it off. On first look, it seemed like it was an Ironman/Tony Stark show. On second viewing, it felt a lot more balanced. Again, really appreciate your work. Thank you for this.

I'm really interested to know how much time Loki got. I feel like he might have got the most screen time, whether he was being pummeled by the various heroes or off fulfilling his super-villian duties. Any data on him? And to be honest, he was the most interesting character. I'm surprised you didn't include data on him. And he got two of the funniest moments- I'm listening and trying to 'change' Tony with the sceptre- apart from having a big role in Hulk-smash.

Again, love that you did this. Don't take the Loki thing as a criticism. :P

Yes, I was expecting Iron Man to get the most screentime as well. Interesting to see it was actually Cap who got it, didn't expect that at all. And indeed, Loki was a very interesting character, wonder how much he got!

Thanks for measuring this up. I was actually wondering the same!

I knew Black Widow would be higher up there.

Awesome experiment! I'm glad to see this. I wonder about Loki's time too. I bet he'd beat all of them.
