Okay, I would take it as, "Troops, including the snakes, were bound to devices that also acted as gravity shields which ceased functioning after mother-ship blew. It wasn't that the gravity shields quit working, none of the creatures were able to continue fighting after the main ship was destroyed.

How can losing your gravity shield auto kill you? I have seen 2 wrong happenings. One was auto kill, another, gravity shield malfunction. If Chitauri's aim was to inflict maximum damage to earth, it should be in their best interest to give their troops free reign after their ship is destroyed rather just "die off" — Alexander.

He terrorises the visitors to the museum, and behaves like a space Nazi. As he prepares to kill a dissenter from the crowd, Captain America appears and tries to stop him. When he gets overpowered, Tony Stark arrives and subdues Loki, who submits and is captured. As Loki is being carried to captivity, Thor arrives and takes Loki to another location. He confronts him and asks him to surrender the Tesseract and return to Asgard.

Tony Stark arrives and he and Thor fight. Cap intervenes with his admantium shield. Loki is taken into the custody aboard the Helicarrier. But he looks too happy for a man held captive. And true enough, he wanted to be caught like Joker in The Dark Knight. He tells Black Widow that he plans to use the Hulk to destroy the Avengers.

When she goes to warn others, he smiles, revealing that he intended to sow doubts in the Avengers regarding the Hulk. Barton and other rogue S. D agents attack the Helicarrier. Loki is freed and uses his illusion power to trick Thor into his cell. Loki also stabs Agent Phil Coulson in the back when he confront him with a prototype gun. As Tony is thrown off a window, he suits up as Iron Man and blasts Loki. As Loki enjoys the impending destruction, Thor lands and they fight again.

Ah, so it wasn't that the link was severed , it was that the explosion sent additional energy along the link into their brains. I think the implication is that breaking the link violently caused all the energy of the link to "rebound" back to the host and kill them but it's still kind of vague — KutuluMike.

Everyone knows that if you have a neural link set up, then severing it without the proper precautions in place will immediately kill you. Sort of like how you can make a computer literally explode by feeding it a logical paradox. Steve-O: In computer engineering, we call that halt and catch fire.

Fortunately, all alien invasion forces always have a single point of failure and appear to never have heard of redundancy and robustness. Show 5 more comments. MP3 Link Had they not had the "drop down dead" scene, they would have needed additional scenes to explain what happened to the Chitauri soldiers after the spacial fissure closed.
