Find the Easter eggs in our "Avengers" photo

Did you see our large photo of "The Avengers" in Friday's Scene section, an image six columns wide of Iron Man and Thor and their friends in world-protection mode?

More to the point: Did you look at that photo on Friday's Scene cover closely and notice something a little unusual? Maybe you did if you're a big fan of Marvel Comics.

James Royal, the Tulsa World's chief newsroom designer, is such a fan. He had more than a little fun designing that page and with that photo.

Did you notice the two Easter eggs that he added to the photo? (Answers below - Don't scroll down!)



As I noted in my Avengers fun facts column, the first issue of "The Avengers" comic book included the original lineup of Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man and Wasp.

If you look closely, perhaps you can see both Ant-Man and Wasp in the photo, but obviously quite smaller than Hulk, Black Widow and the others.

After you have perused the picture, look at the same image below, but which has the two additional superheroes circled. No peeking!

Have fun with it, just like you will when you see "The Avengers," a fantastic start to the summer movie season.

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.

Big winner tonight: producer Harvey Weinstein. "The Artist" wins 5 Oscars, "The Iron Lady" goes 2-for-2, even wins best documentary.
