The Avengers opens in theaters this weekend, bringing with it a veritable who's who of Marvel superheroes. Of course, even superheroes have their faults, some of which we'll take a look at in this installment of Strengths and Weaknesses.
The Avengers
- Movie should make enough money at the box office to eliminate the national debt
- Have all the makings of a great boy band
- Wisely included Samuel L. Jackson so they don't look racist
- Know the value of teamwork, but ignore that and focus on the value of superpowers
- Now that the movie is finally out, maybe I won't have to sit through three Avengers promos every time there's a commercial break on TV
- All five sides of Captain America's star are equal sizes, which, if you've ever tried to draw a star, is really hard to accomplish
- All members would probably win the Hunger Games... except maybe Hawkeye
- Movie will help bide time until The Dark Knight Rises comes out in July
WEAKNESSES
- I don't like the Hulk even when he's not angry
- Only one woman to cook for all those hungry superheroes
- Thor has a god complex
- Hawkeye still troubled from his time spent as a doctor during the Korean War
- Only Scarlett Johansson needs to be wearing tights and latex
- From far away, Captain America's shield looks like a giant target
- Iron Man doesn't have a secret identity... or a twitter account
- Superhero tax bracket is a real killer
You left Hawkeye out of the picture. I guess that's part of your question in the weaknesses huh?
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I didn't even notice he was missing until after I finished the post. I figured he wasn't worth the trouble.
