the avengers

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/

the avengers is pretty much what you would expect it to be: a lot of noise and flashing lights, tastefully arranged with humorous one-liners.  it does not aspire to greatness, which is why it does not fail.

many people express a certain amount of incredulity regarding the ability of regular (albeit highly-trained) humans like black widow or hawkeye to contribute meaningfully to a team that also contains gods and indestructible green monsters.  well, these people are idiots.  the storyteller is god, and they need to shut up and just enjoy the flashing lights.

the avengers gets a left, a right, and an uppercut.  body slam!
