Again that is partly true but that wasn't the whole reason. When he was talking to Cap he said it was a source of sustainable energy, you think if he would have said, "well Cap we were making weapons out of it because of Thor and you know other threats from the Galaxy!" that Cap would have willingly and easily joined him?
I think Cap would've still joined Fury regardless. For Cap it would've been a "lesser of two evils" kind of thing. Join Fury now and take the Tesseract from Loki and worry about Fury's plans for the Tesseract later.
It's like one of those "well I didn't technically lie because I didn't tell you because you didn't ask" scenario. laugh.gif In the end it is still a lie.
I'm not arguing that Fury isn't telling lies. I'm just saying that the formation of the Avengers wasn't based on a lie.
Before they even knew they were being manipulated by Loki (arguable that Loki is the one who actually formed the Avengers) Fury got called out on making weapons, Thor said it was that reason why Loki and his friends are coming because it meant they were ready for higher force of villains and then he admits that he was making the weapons because Thor appeared. You think if Fury honestly told Thor that secret that Thor would have easily handed Loki to Fury? If Thor knew that, don't you think he likely would have just tried to take Loki by himself and away from Shield?
Thor is an outlier. He was one of those Avengers that was just in the right place, right time during the movie. He was already working his own agenda, and tried to take Loki from Cap America and Iron Man from minute one. He was never recruited by anyone. He stuck around long enough at the helicarrier because he was curious along with everyone else about what was Loki's greater agenda. He probably would've taken Loki asap right after that scene where everyone was arguing yea, if it weren't for the fact that Hawkeye and company invaded the Helicarrier.
Could also apply to Banner and Stark, he told them some truth but not the whole truth but had they known it was because Fury was making weapons, they'd likely hesitate to help or just do it on their own, well Stark would, it's in his personality.
Stark never fully trusted Fury from minute 1. It's the reason why he had Jarvis hack the whole helicarrier to begin with. But despite his suspicions he had agreed to secure Loki (he went to Germany or wherever it was he joined Captain America) because again, Loki having the Tesseract is a more immediate problem than any ulterior agenda he suspected Shield to have.
arguable that Loki is the one who actually formed the Avengers
If you want to argue this, I have no problems with agreeing. I never argued that Shield was the one primarily responsible for bringing together the Avengers.
I just keep saying the Avengers wasn't created on a lie. Fury told many lies but the one truth he did tell mattered to the Avengers ( that Loki had the Tessearact)
If you want to interpret that as Loki actually formed the Avengers, ok - I'm not stopping you.
we are just seeing in different viewpoints
Yea, I agree. *sigh I don't really want to do a Zik - ish back and forth so I'm going to drop it here unless your next reply pisses me off or something laugh.gif
