Despite facing their most difficult fight yet, Joss Whedon, The Avengers fails against the most prominent cliche: “The Good Guys Always Win.” This is heard and seen in many historical and recent movies and television shows, including Tom & Jerry and the most famous Black Panther, in which the protagonist always win a conflict, no matter the situation. Nonetheless, At the beginning of the movie The Avengers, Asgardian Loki, is the only villain that challenges the avengers. However, as the movie becomes more adventurous and action-filled, the ending is quite similar to other movies, in which the superhero/protagonist ends up winning the ultimate fight, and in this case, saving the world. However, the cliche wins because it allows the movie to …show more content…
This is because of the movie’s cliched “the good guys always win” plot. At the beginning of the movie, it seems that fight between the good guys/protagonists: Iron Man, Black Panther, The Hulk, and many others are somewhat winning the battle against Thanos, the bad guy/antagonist. However, as the movie becomes more action-filled, the ending was shocking, in fact speechless. Thanos faced off the most powerful avengers, including: The Hulk, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, and the Guardians Of The Galaxy, but it seems that each character did not merely impact Thanos. And when looking at previous avengers movies, the Cliche, “the good guys always win” has been proven. This is seen with the First Avengers, in which Asgardian Loki is brought to justice, as his plan of ruling earth has failed. Additionally, the avengers saves the world and reunites. However, in the Avengers: Infinity War, it has become the opposite, the good guys did not win. In fact, Thanos wipes half the sentient beings in the universe, and the Avengers are merely separated by the depressed attitude of losing against Thanos. This is a sense of devastation and unusual event that occur in such
The Sentry also know as Robert Reynolds is a fictional Marvel superhero, known for always doing good. However, unlike other Marvel Superheroes, The Sentry was bullied at a young age, the emotional effect on him caused him to resort to Methamphetamine. His Methamphetamine addiction led to him breaking into the laboratory of Professor Cornelius and drinking a serum that granted him super powers, eventually making him one of the strongest Marvel Super Heroes. The serum induced a chemical reaction sending neurological signals to his brain, resulting in a hyper state of consciousness and triggered the activation of superhuman powers. The Sentry’s has a variety of superpowers such as superhuman speed and reflex so he can run, catch bullets and villains,
Loki, the God of chaos, is known as the “doer of good and the doer of evil.” He, like Cartman, is always looking for a way to cause havoc. Whether they intended to or not, they never pass up the opportunity. In the chapter “Thor and Loki in the Giant’s City,” Loki is seen telling multiple tales about his adventures with Thor at the feast, and is sure to highlight the things that make Thor look bad. For instance, his strength was no match to the dwellers if Jötunheim, and when he had to dress as a bride to retrieve his hammer, Mjölnir.
His ordinary world, Asgard was where he awaited his father’s throne. A series of events led him banished to the earth which essentially was the unknown. On earth his mission was to find Mjolner, his greedy personality led him to finding it. Once Mjolner was found, he realized he was not worthy of it. He goes through a phase of wanting to defeat the frost giants and taking his father’s throne, and thinking that power was the only way to go. Once on earth, it took him a while to figure out that he needed to change his ways. The big ordeal was when Thor was face to face with the destroyer robot and Loki was controlling him. Thor made the ultimate sacrifice by being killed, this led to him being resurrected and once again reunited with his supernatural ability. The only way to win back his way to Asgard, was to make a change within himself and to realize that power isn’t everything. Thor indeed is a hero, he traveled through The Hero’s Journey, he saves civilians on earth, he brings peace back to Asgard, and most importantly made a drastic change in his life. “ The answers you seek shall be yours, once I claim what is mine.” (Thor) The author tells us that the theme here is greed and that at the beginning of Thor’s journey it was a bit rocky in terms of being a hero. This quote just goes to show how much Thor has changed from beginning to
One of the most significant attributes of Loki is his connection to Ragnarök, or the end of the world according the Norse mythology. He triggers Ragnarök by “arranging the death of Baldur,” (Lindow, par. 6). He does this by tricking the blind god Hod into throwing a mistletoe spear at Baldur, killing him (McCoy, par. 9). He then turns against the gods and takes the side of the giant. Some of the major incidents that take place during the battle include: Jormungand, the giant serpent, slaying Thor; Fenrir, the wolf, killing Odin; and Loki and Heimdall mortally wounding each other (McCoy, par. 3 and 8). As punishment, the gods “tie him down to three rocks inside a cave” while “a venomous serpent sits above him, dripping poison onto him” (McCoy, par. 9).
The Ultimate Boon happens when Loki asks, “What have I to fear?” Ironman himself says, “The Avengers.” They are then able to fight against Chitauri, Loki’s army, in the Magic flight/Pursuit and eventually Cross the Return Threshold, which allows us to enter into the last Return phase of Campbell’s monomyth analysis. The Refusal of the Return is when the Avengers have found enlightenment in the world of working together, and Ironman not wanting to return back to his normalcy. The Magic flight is when Ironman redirects the missile, heading towards New York, through the portal and destroys Loki’s army.
SHAZAM! The Story of Willie Batson. Captain Marvel, also known as Shazam, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Artist C. C. Beck and writer Bill Parker created the character in 1939. Captain Marvel first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 (cover-dated Feb. 1940), published by Fawcett Comics.
Loki is quoted saying that this war will be over in a matter of hours. He underestimates Earth and all of its powers. He believes just because he is a god that he should be able to just stomp Earth out of existence. He finds us to be no threat at
Thors determination in this scene is very admirable, even when his friends were insisting they stop he continued to fight because it was what he believed was right. Although it may have not been for the good of Asgard his self belief and overall determination are admirable
Most notably, his great sacrifice during Ragnarok. Ragnarok is the Norse day of doom, believed to be the prophesied or already occurred end of the world, tantamount to the events in the book of Revelations in the Christian Bible. It is the final battle between evil (Loki and his frost giants) and good, (Odin and the Aesir). Ragnarok begins when Odin banishes Loki, the god of trickery and mischief to Earth, where he causes hate, chaos and war to break out all over Midgard. Then, Loki brings forth an almost unsurvivable, nearly eternal winter that spans across all nine of the universal realms.
The mighty Thor is the first and birth son of Odin. Also, known as the God of Thunder, which he has or exerts great physical strength, but has an arrogant attitude marked by a lack of thought about danger or other possible undesirable consequences that cause to ignite a period of armed fighting between the Asgards and the Frosted Giants again. Furthermore, Thor thinks the only way to resolve issues is by engaging in armed conflict with the unfriendly opponent. However, Thor egotism has led his father to remove his powers and sending him away to Earth as a punishment for refusing to comply with orders that interrupted the peace amongst the nine realms. Meanwhile, Thor falls for Jane a scientist on Earth while his brother Loki tries to gain control
According to the critics, this latest Thor is mighty indeed. The film’s 99% “fresh” rating suggests Ragnarok is not just the greatest Marvel movie of all time, but the greatest superhero flick ever made, ahead of The Incredibles (97%), The Dark Knight (94%) and Iron Man (94%). Our own Steve Rose is only mildly impressed, praising Waititi for infusing proceedings with “generously self-deprecating Kiwi wit” but pointing out that “there are a great many corners cut, plot holes papered over, and laws of physics bent out of recognition in this movie”.
Thor is a god from another world who has superpowers his brother Loki is evil he comes to earth and tries to take over the world and destroy it then robots come and fight Loki off because they want this world and Thor is sent down to take them all out once he takes them all out he goes back to his world with his brother and his brother is put in a jail cell a few days go by and Loki tricks Thor thinking Loki has got out of the jail cell but he changed the way that he looked he looked like a guard and Thor let's the guard out and Loki throws Thor in the jail cell and drops if out of a big plane and he falls back to earth he got left so he stayed on earth Loki comes back to take over the world again and Thor isn't their nomore he got
The Thor: Ragnarok story involves the mighty Thor finding himself imprisoned in a different part of the universe. Hence, in a race to safe is home Asgard from the powerful Hela, he leads a quest for survival that involves him fighting the Hulk. Taika Waititi directed the movie, and his trademark is seen all over the movie with the movie's sense of humor and vibrant nature. The movie time frame is after the Avengers: Age of Ultron, which explains why both the Hulk and Thor are not present in Captain America: Civil War. The movie is a quirky cosmic adventure comedy that features some of the most colorful supporting characters in the Marvel universe such as Loki, the Incredible Hulk, and Valkyrie. The movie through the assembled cast translates very well on the screen throughout their performances.
Originally, Loki was a morally ambiguous trickster character who was Odin and Thor’s companion. He helped them out of countless predicaments, although he also caused some of those predicaments himself. He was unpredictable, and even dishonorable at times, but rarely was he ever outright malicious. In one myth, a frost giant demands Freya’s hand in marriage, if he could rebuild the walls of Asgard in a single day (Godesky, 2006). They agreed, thinking he could never accomplish such a feat. However, the giant surprised the gods by
Loki is the embodiment of, “Of course it was Loki. It 's always Loki.” Loki is unquestionably the biggest question mark within Norse mythology. He is portrayed as a scheming, mischievous deity who has no real loyalties, his role is shrouded in mystery; what was his purpose in the ancient stories. Loki’s character arises questions about his role; was he a plot device, a foil for the Aesir, or maybe he was meant to be used as a warning to child? Within the pantheon of Norse gods, he was an anomaly; his fellow gods are mostly one dimensional and Loki is anything but. Loki is the antithesis to the culture the Norse gods represented; honor, courage, fidelity, truth, discipline, hospitality, industriousness, self reliance, perseverance. Loki is
