Iron Man put Marvel Studios on the map but it’s the Avengers that cemented them as a powerhouse in Hollywood. From after credit scenes to cameos to build up for future films it all led to this. The ultimate superhero crossover no one thought was possible. That is until the people at Marvel Studiod said, let’s just do it. Guided by the now infamous Joss Whedon, the story brought together Earth’s Mightest heroes in a climatic showdown against Loki. Everyone remembers where they were when the Avengers assembled for the first time as the camera panned around the entire team and the heroic Avengers theme hit its crescendo before the Avengers went into battle together, for the first time. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. This was Marvel at its peak. A seminal moment in cinematic history. I love the first Avengers movie and is the only one I’ll still sit down and watch all the way through if it’s on TV.
