Who was Nick Fury talking about on the ship?












19















In The Avengers film when they're all arguing on the airship (after they find out about Phase 2), who was Nick Fury talking about when he said a year ago someone came to Earth and leveled an area in a grudge match? I didn't take this to be a reference to Thor since Fury mentions that there are more things out there beside Earthlings and Asgardians.



Hope I paraphrased that correctly and didn't spoil anything; thanks.

He was referring to Thor and the Destroyer destroying the town in New Mexico in the middle of their battle.



The other beings he spoke of were the other races beyond Earthlings and Asgardians - the Frost Giants, for example.

    True, but had he even learned of the Chitauri by this point in the movie?
