At this point, it’s impossible to find someone who hasnt heard about the Avengers.
Even if you havent seen the movies, you most likely know, at least, one of the superheroes
in this team!
Since the release of Avengers:Endgame is right around the corner, we’ve decided to go over
a brief summary on the events of the Marvel Cinematographic Universe.
We are getting ready for it!
The Avengers is the famous superheroes saga created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby for Marvel,
as a response to the Justice League, from their number 1 competitor: DC Comics.
This universe is formed by 20 independent movies, tho the events that take place in
them are all intermingled in a same timeline.
This might be a bit of a puzzle, even for the most fanatic followers!
The movies don’t follow a chronological order - there are tons of events all interconnected
to each other.
This Marvel Universe is divided in 3 phases - each one of them incorporates stories of
the different characters and ends with an Avengers Movie.
In the first phase, we are introduced to the main characters and the events that will lead
to the following movies.
Captain America: The First Avenger, is the one that starts, chronologically, this saga,
and it already introduces a very important element: the Tesseract, a relic of an incalculable
power, around which the main events in this first phase will take place.
Another movie that also introduces some key elements is Thor, where we get to know the
character Loki, future antagonist in The Avengers after he gets the Tesseract.
Loki’s threat will be strong enough to make Nick Fury (a veteran spy from the anti-terrorist
organization S.H.I.E.L.D.) get together for the first time, our dearest superheroes: Captain
America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye.
After destroying Loki’s plans, the second phase will start with the expansion of the
Avengers, showing as well the common thread with the next installments: the evil villain
Thanos and his search for the six Infinity Stones.
New characters are introduced in the story as well, like Vision, Scarlet Witch or the
Guardians of the Galaxy.
Our Superheroes will get together again in the second installment: “The Avengers: Age
of Ultron”.
In it, Tony Stark starts a program that aims to keep world peace, and for this, he creates
a highly-intelligent robot called Ultron, whose mission is to detect potential threats
for humanity.
However, Ultron manages to have his own conscience, he reaches the conclusion that humanity is
the biggest threat for the planet, and decides to eradicate it.
The Avengers will have to get together again to stop this powerful enemy and save the planet.
The third phase starts a year after the Ultron events, and its marked by an atmosphere of
great tension.
Even tho the Avengers were actually able to save the Earth, the collateral damage has
caused a great political instability.
As a consequence, they are told to work under the supervision of the United Nations.
This decision will lead to an internal confrontation: Iron Man on one side, who accepts it, and
Captain America on the other side, who doesnt want to give up his independence and freedom.
The team breaks into two sides, and they’ll confront each other in a tough battle in Captain
America: Civil War.
But despite these differences, superheroes will be forced to work elbow to elbow again
in Avengers: Infinity War.
In this third installment they’ll have to fight the terrible threat from Thanos and
stopped him from getting the six Infinity Stones and destroy half of the population.
Again, new characters will join the universe of the Avengers to balance forces, such as
Doctor Strange, Black Panther or Spiderman.
However, even tho Marvel superheroes seem to be invincible, this time the evil Thanos
was successful and destroyed half of life in the planet...including superheroes.
And this is precisely where the new movie begins, Avengers: Endgame; a planet in ruins
where those few who survived have to come together to restore the order in the universe
once and for all.
We believe in the Marvel heroes, and we are sure that, with the new incorporation of Captain
Marvel, The Avengers will be able to bring world peace back.
Ready for the most epic battle of the year, Tiktakers?
