It is a very rare moment in this world when we see things handled with sleek precision that doesn't disappoint at all. That's what I think about The Avengers and the Marvel movie franchise. I honestly never saw it coming. It was a great thrill to realize all of my favorite super-hero movies were coming together in one big blockbuster. At the time Iron Man was, of course, my favorite. Iron Man brings a weird leadership role to the team. Bruce Banner is always perceptive to his surroundings, always noticing things like how the previously mentioned team is, in fact, not a team... it's a time bomb. Captain America! He was handled well in terms of a 1940's man transported to the modern world. His recent cameo in Thor: The Dark World was a precious moment that we all cherished... after laughing so hard our stomachs hurt. Thor... Thor is definitely my favorite Avenger. Why? Because I have always loved Norse Mythology and seeing that brought to the big screen (albeit in a representation that strayed far from the original stories and gods) was a true sight to behold.
The Avengers is where all of these heroes (Plus Hawkeye and Black Widow but no one really cares about them) come together to put a stop to Loki and find out the true secrets behind how he keeps is hair so well done! Okay maybe not, but I want to find that out.
The fact that all of these seemingly unrelated movies have been brought together in a glorious fashion is enough to prove that Marvel is on to something. I'm just waiting for "The Winter Soldier" and "Ant-Man".
