When Loki shows up in the first Avengers movie he starts off by brainwashing Barton, Selvig, and some other random Shield dude. Imo it seems retarded that he didn't brainwash director Fury.
The only other people who were down there when he shot him were the other brainwashed folks. Fury could have easily pretended he was fine, gone back to shield, and done Lokis dark bidding from the inside. Seems like having the man in charge of your main antagonists as a mindless pawn would be invaluable. That would have really screwed up the whole thing.
All in all it seems like Loki could have saved himself a whole bunch of trouble by using his little scepter on Fury rather than his gun. I know it's a small detail in a - let's say - not quite intellectual popcorn movie; and I know the answer is "Plot", but still...whenever I notice something like this it makes it just a little harder to ignore the little Simpson's "genius at work" guy voice in my head that wants to say "boy I hope someone got fired for that blunder".
