It all started back in 2008, when a young man in a theater
sat patiently during the credits of Iron
Man in hopes of seeing something special. Little did he know what he was in
for as he watched Nick Fury step from the shadows and say the words we all have
waited for “Avengers Initiative.” Then The
Incredible Hulk came out and it was then Tony Stark who stepped out from
the shadows to discuss this Initiative to General Ross. The Iron Man 2 promised us the emergence of
another superhero, this time of Norse mythology. Thor arrived on the scene and this time things got serious and Loki
and Hawkeye came unto the scene along with the all-powerful Cosmic Cube (called
the Tesseract in the film). The next obvious step was Captain America and we are getting eager as Nick Fury tempts Rogers
to help him save the world. Then, after years of waiting and contemplating, The Avengers is announced. Not only that
but the studio has trusted it in the hands of Joss Whedon, one of the best
decisions by Marvel Studios. The cast is back (Mark Ruffalo replacing Edward
Norton as Banner) and Loki its villain. Now trailers are released and every
frame is debated and discussed as we await the premiere of hopefully the
greatest superhero movie ever. SO…would The
Avengers be able to meet the epic expectations and step up the bar for
Marvel superhero films? Read on to find
out…
Building on the previous Marvel films, The Avengers is the epic climax of the long building storyline of
Loki’s quest for dominance. This time Loki is on the hunt for the Tesseract
(Cosmic Cube) in exchange for helping his conquest of Earth. With new powers
and abilities, Loki starts brainwashing hundreds of people to bend them to his
will. With the Tesseract stolen, Nick Fury has no choice but to call in the
team. Captain America, Tony Stark, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Bruce Banner, and Thor
(after a few misunderstandings) come aboard to unite against the rise threat of
war. With Loki and his army approaching, The Avengers must get over the
problems and challenges to come together and save the day for New York and the
World.
