Heroes are "invited"

As a DC fan, it is somewhat "unhappy" to watch Marvel movies. First of all, there are very few Marvel characters that I like: Whether they are from the Avengers or not, most of these characters have various personality defects, either arrogant, stupid, or uncontrollable. Secondly, most popcorn movies that are crowded with talents will be out of touch, and most of them are weak in the second half. Before watching the movie, I felt that the ratings were a bit inflated.

However, the results of the viewing are indeed somewhat unexpected. Especially the final New York battle, the overall quality of the film has been improved. It is undeniable that in the case of multiple heroes appearing, the balance between heroes is a test of the director's skill. This film spends a lot of time rendering the "fights" between different heroes, the purpose is to show the "characters" of different heroes. Although some characters have had feature films before, the film still fully considers the needs of audiences at different levels. In the foreshadowing of more than 1 hour, conflicts within the League of Legends emerged one after another, each hero has his own small abacus, even SHIELD has its own internal plan, it can be said that everyone is a conspirator, they have their own plan. Although all this can be blamed on Loki's provocation, but after all, Marvel's heroes are incomplete in their hearts, and some characters also have "unknown past events". Loki is a strong catalyst. Under the action of compound factors , such infighting is unavoidable.

The movie ends, of course, with the heroes working together to defeat the alien invasion, but what impressed me the most was the way these heroes "assembled." Generally speaking, the hero characters are of the "on call" type, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is similar to the "master manager", deploying heroes to play; it's just that Marvel's setting is very interesting, the heroes do not have a unified leadership and are not affected by S.H.I.E.L.D. The domination of the bureau, in short, if you want to make them appear, you have to "please". Heroes are different from ordinary people. They are "disobedient". They have their own opinions. Some people even have a relationship with the enemy. It can only be a fantasy to make these heroes obey the command; so S.H.I.E.L.D. is more like a "nanny" , protect heroes from ordinary people, protect heroes from congressional questioning, and even protect heroes from being harassed by the media or paparazzi. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s meticulous care is of course silent, but the superheroes are not too low in emotional intelligence to understand, so when human beings encounter a crisis, they choose to attack collectively.

The biggest shortcoming of this film is that the villain is weak. Whether it is the mysterious Loki or the alien race behind it, it does not show enough "destructive power". The 142-minute film feels "not enjoyable", and if the villain can have a complex enough performance, then the last battle can last for a long time. As for the final domestic version of the easter egg, those who are not familiar with Marvel will be confused, and can only say that this work must have a sequel.

Think about this summer's movies, one Marvel and one DC, and anime fans can be very happy.
