I am so glad I started rewatching these movies again. So very glad. I’m catching so much more of the humor of these first phase movies than I remember when I watched them the first or even second time. The Avengers is the first movie where all 6 original Avengers come together for the first time and it is so interesting to watch them interact. One thing that I dislike is that we only get to briefly meet Hawkeye before he was turned by the super villain.
Speaking of which, this is the first time we see Loki in his full glory as a super villain. Granted, he was instrumental in Thor’s movie, but we only saw him directing things from afar. This time he is front and center and it is great to see too. And we get some really interesting fight scenes once he’s in the mix.
Even if you don’t like superhero movies you’ll have to admit that this movie has an all star cast, all of them make this movie. With any big movie also comes The Avenger’s first casualty, the premise of when they finally become a team.
“This was never gonna work if they didn’t have something to…”
