The Avengers (2012 film)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

=== [[The Avengers (film)|The movie based on the comic book]] ===

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]: Years of superhero movies have taught viewers to expect that a [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|final battle]] between The Avengers and Loki would happen towards the end of the movie. It doesn't happen quite that way.

** That being said, Loki's defeat was still a pretty awesome moment for {{spoiler|the Hulk, who thrashed him like a ragdoll and left him a whimpering wreck.}}

* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: The score by [[Alan Silvestri]], particularly the Avengers anthem. Try to listen to it and ''not'' feel ready to repel an [[Alien Invasion]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNdZFPitS1Q Go on, try. We'll wait.]

** And, among ''many'' other moments "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w5u0G6Sptw I Got A Ride]" (for {{spoiler|[[The Oner]] starting with Black Widow hijacking one of the invaders' machines and stopping in on each one of our [[Big Damn Heroes]]}}).

** The short appearance of Loki's motif from a [[The Ring of the Nibelung|certain famous opera]] deserves special mention for [[Music of Note|being meta]] ''and'' super-awesome.

* [[Catharsis Factor]]: {{spoiler|[[Metronomic Man-Mashing|The Hulk smacking Loki around.]]}} After seeing the latter spend the entire movie being a bastard--{{spoiler|and especially his callous murder of Agent Coulson}}--this was quite satisfying.

* [[Catharsis Factor]]: {{spoiler|[[Metronomic Man-Mashing|The Hulk smacking Loki around.]]}} After seeing the latter spend the entire movie being a bastard--{{spoiler|and especially his callous murder of Agent Coulson}}--this was quite satisfying. Unsurprisingly, this scene was a ''hit'' with audiences with many packed movie theaters breaking out into applause and cheers at {{spoiler|Loki's defeat.}}

* [[Cliché Storm]]: It wasn't lost on several critics and movie goers that ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'', for all of its praise, hardly broke new ground in superhero movie storytelling (especially compared to [[The Dark Knight]] and [[Watchmen]]). It's more than a bit predictable, and every convenient plot twist unfolded in the way most people would expect after viewing one too many superhero flicks. Still, because ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'' blended the best elements of superhero movies together, this is an exceptional case of [[Tropes Are Not Bad]] for many.
