Line 47:
New Avengers was beginning of the [[Silver Age]]. Looks at first Avengers rooster (after adding Cap) – four greatest heroes of that days – [[Captain America]], [[Iron Man]], [[The Mighty Thor]], [[The Incredible Hulk]], and two additional heroes – Ant-Man and Wasp. New Avengers? [[Captain America]], [[Iron Man]], [[Wolverine]], [[Spider Man|Spider-Man]] – four most popular heroes, Luke Cage and Spider-Woman – additional male and female members. Next upgrade of classic Avengers were Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch – [[Badass Normal]] and at last one very powerful person. New Avengers got [[Badass Normal|Ronin]] and [[Person of Mass Destruction|Sentry]].
Everything that happened from [[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]] to [[Secret Invasion]] was a metaphor od [[Bronze Age]], where far more serious themes were introduced in comics, including pollitical commentary. So we got commentary on 9/100 and Patriot Act and terrorism. Sure, it was done poorly, but still.
[[Dark Reign (Comic Book)|Dark Reign]] is [[Dark Age]] in this equation. Suddenly people starts to love the villain and wants to give their safety in his hands, just like comics fans wanted more “dark” and “edgy” superheroes in the 90's. [[Dark Avengers]] roster contains Sentry, who serves as a [[Deconstruction]] of classic superheo and symbol of superheroes taking darker routes, four psychopaths in heroes' costumes, as symbol of very much loved back then [[Anti -Hero Substitute]], Ares, who shares many traits of [[Nineties Anti -Hero]], and Noh-Varr – who is a symbol of all those naïve, young superheroes who were hanging out with all those jerks and run away, when they realized who's they're dealing with. Siege and Osborn's downfall is an end of [[Dark Age]] and start of [[Modern Age]], which will be [[Heroic Age (Comic Book)|Heroic Age]].

Line 283:
** And/or because Loki was at the end of his rope: injured, tired, disarmed, and psychologically stressed by his plan starting to unravel. He probably didn't have the energy left to do much other than monologue.
 
== The Avengers Initiative and SHIELD are a part of [[Doctor Who (TV)|UNIT]]. ==
* That helicarrier that they use looks quite similar to the Valiant from the Whoniverse. So who's to say that it's not actually from the same universe? After all, both SHIELD and UNIT get involved in protecting the Earth from extraterrestrial threats. I bet they're part of the same organisation.
** Wait, SHIELD (first appearance: 1965) and the Helicarrier (again, 1965) both predate UNIT, so wouldn't it be the other way around?
Line 306:
== There's something going on with [[Nick Fury]]'s left eye. ==
* [http://theavengersshop.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Avengers-nick-fury.jpg If you look at Nick Fury] in [[The Avengers]], his left eye seems to have something similar to what Stark was going through in [[Iron Man 2]]. It may have to do with why he has an [[Eyepatch of Power|eyepatch]]. This will probably be elaborated on in later movies, most likely in Avengers 2.
** Not intending to burst a potentially-good plot detail, but [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Nick_Fury:Ultimate Nick Fury|the design for Ultimate Nick Fury]] (which [[Samuel L Jackson]] lent his likeness to in the beginning) has that nasty scar lines around his eye socket too. It might be that Fury's [[Noodle Incident|past missions]] were simply [[War Is Hell|that hellish]]. Hey, after all, we did see the All-Father Odin with a [[Eye Scream|nasty, empty eye socket]] in ''[[Thor (Film)|Thor]]''.
