The Avengers
S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury arrives at a remote S.H.I.E.L.D. facility during an evacuation. The Tesseract, an energy source of unknown potential, has activated. It opens a portal through space and the exiled Norse god Loki steps through. Loki takes the Tesseract and also takes control of the minds of several S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel, including Dr. Erik Selvig and Agent Clint "Hawkeye" Barton, to aid him in his getaway. As S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel pull out of their base, some pursuing Loki and others merely fleeing, the ground beneath the base collapses and it's destroyed.

In response to the attack, Fury re-activates the Avengers Initiative. He pulls Agent Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. the Black Widow, out of an interrogation and sends her to India to find and recruit Dr. Bruce Banner a.k.a. the Hulk. At the same time Agent Phil Coulson approaches "Iron Man" Tony Stark and requests that he review Dr. Selvig's research. Fury himself approaches Steve Rogers, a.k.a. Captain America, with an assignment to retrieve the Tesseract from Loki. During his exile, Loki encountered the Chitauri, an alien race seeking to conquer the galaxy. In exchange for the Tesseract, the Chitauri agree to help Loki subjugate Earth.

Suiting up, Captain America and Iron Man travel to Germany to apprehend Loki, who is recovering iridium needed to stabilize the Tesseract's power, and demanding that the civilians kneel before him. Loki quickly surrenders when the two heroes arrive, and he is escorted to a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, a high-tech, flying aircraft carrier. However, Thor, Loki's half-brother and the Norse God of thunder, arrives and attempts to free Loki so he can reason with him on his own, but he gets into a fight with Iron Man and Captain America. Eventually, Loki is taken to the helicarrier and placed in a glass cell designed to hold the Hulk.

The Avengers, now brought together, argue and deliberate over how to approach Loki and the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D. plans to harness

    The Norse god Odin decides his son needs to be taught humility and places Thor (without memories of godhood) into the body and memories of an existing, partially disabled human medical student, Donald Blake. After becoming a doctor and on holiday in Norway, Dr. Blake witnesses the arrival of an alien scouting party from another planet. Fears forced Blake to seek refuge in a cave, and later discovers Thor's disguised hammer Mjolnir, and striking it against a rock, transforms into the Thunder God. He defeated the aliens, and return to his normal human life of a doctor, treating the ill in a private practice with nurse - and eventual love interest - Jane Foster. He continued defending humanity from evil. Thor's presence on Earth almost immediately attracts the attention of his stepbrother and arch-foe Loki; who returns repeatedly to Earth in a bid to destroy Thor. Loki is also responsible for the emergence of three other villains: the Absorbing Man; the Wrecker and the Destroyer. On one occasion, Loki's dirty tactics of using an illusion of the hulk to draw Thor into battle, accidentally results in the formation of the superhero team, the Avengers, of which Thor is a founding and longstanding member of the team. Ultimately, Thor and his team defeated their enemies.…

    The Watchmen

    • 2798 Words
    • 12 Pages

    The Watchmen and The Tales of the Black Freighter interweave to form a complete narrative, revealing character motivations, thoughts, and likely conclusions. The Watchmen is a work rich with symbolism, social themes, and thought provoking concepts. The Tales of the Black Freighter is a comic within the comic, and tackles similarly profound topics. Adrian Veidt from the Watchmen, known as his superhero name Ozymandias, was an industrialist genius who used his unique talents to build an empire. Veidt was a renowned celebrity known for his intelligence, handsomeness, elegance, business savvy, and his past career as a masked vigilante. The mariner was a pirate attack survivor from The Tales of the Black Freighter who only wanted to save his family. Both men desired to save their home, Earth and Davidstown respectively, and were willing to do whatever was necessary. Though superficially different, the journey of the mariner closely follows the path of Adrian Veidt. Both men experience very similar opposition and struggles, culminating in an all too similar conclusion.…

    Moore focuses on tying together people and events that occur in the American society. He ties the characters together in a way that magnifies America’s weak points and how it is influenced by many different realistic events that people create and the different people in society. Moore seems to create his characters with very “complex psychological profiles (New York Times Book Review),” that helps to create the view point of heroes, anti-heroes and villains.…

    Mitch Albom once said, “Death ends a life, not a relationship.” This quote means that if one lover passes away in a relationship, their life may be over, but their relationship with their other half is not and never will be and that love will go on forever for the lovers even if one is no longer with the other in life. This quote is proven true by John Green’s The Fault In Our Stars. John Green uses the literary elements: symbolism, theme and conflict to prove that death does not end a relationship.…

    The main communication goal of The Avengers movie is to prove that people with different characters and different skills or powers can work together to achieve a goal. As the song of the movie says “ Always we will fight as one” They have the same goal and they know that they have to work as a team and give the best that each team member has.
