Marvel has released a whole slew of clips from "The Avengers," and one of the coolest showed Thor and Iron Man beating the crap out of each other in the middle of a forest. There's not much context to the scene (though to be fair we don't need much context to enjoy the hell out of it), but director Joss Whedon has decided to step up and give a little backstory to the scene.

In a new clip posted over at Yahoo! Movies (which you can watch after the jump), Whedon explains that there was a lot of thought put into trying to find a way to have his Avengers beat each other up without having it seem forced. As you can see from this clip, he succeeds.

"For me the most important thing was that -- in that fight -- both of them had an agenda that conflicted with the others,'" Whedon said. "That it wasn’t a spell or a case of mistaken identity or something that you're just waiting for them to figure it out. They both really think they need to win and neither of them is totally wrong, and that makes it more than a fight, it makes it a conflict."
