If you've seen Avengers I, you've seen II and III. And a fair number of the rest of them.

Big Swirly Sky Thingie. Pointless MacGuffin to move the pace along. CGI Army for the Avengers (or whoever) to fight. Buncha snappy comebacks and one-liners.

That being said, there are a few highlights. The original Iron Man was pretty good, as was the first Captain America. The two Cap sequels were OK.

I've missed most of the ones over the past 2-3 years, WBill Jr just dragged me to "Avengers III, The Quest for More Money". I'm trying hard to miss "IV, We Need To Pay Robert Downey Jr.'s Salary Somehow".

Says a lot about the sad state of our society that in the midst of all the cultural rot surrounding us the pressing concern is an adult cartoon.

Who is concerned?

This is entertainment that nobody has to go see.

Nope. Hasn’t been that way since at least 1972.

might be like me tuning in to watch Sunday’s GOT without ever seeing any other episode.

You need to know the superheroes.

prediction this will be the last great marvel movie for a long time. Disney has decided to allow the extreme left to turn it into a propaganda platform like they did Star Wars. I am going to this movie with a sad heart because after this movie the creative direction is going to be the promotion of extreme leftist positions with the exception of one or two movies that were in development before they decided to allow this to happen...I think Disney will find they can either entertain and make a lot money or they can put forward political propaganda and make smaller amounts and even lose money on movies because I wont go and support a movie that ether the actor use as a platform to spout off dribble or the movie it self puts forward as its main purpose ideas I oppose.

I saw the last one on tv and it was boring and made little sense. Then again the Transformer movies made a fortune and made zero sense.

I know the superheroes. I’ve seen Guardians of the Galaxy and Iron Man and Thor, even Wonder Woman, X Men and Black Panther. I’m just not into soap operas, even if there are superheroes in them, so I’ve missed most of the sequels. I’m on some major torrent sites so I could watch them in my own home for free if I was that interested, so I guess I wasn’t. But I do like the occasional badass action flick. Would this be a good one to watch?

“I haven’t seen any of the other Avengers movies. Can I just start with this one?”

That would be like just reading the last chapter of a book.

Captain America is not interested in MAGA.

These asshole stars ruin movies for me.
