| | |Widely considered to be the crowning achievement of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this game-changing superhero film brings together several superheroes, all of whom previously starred in related films adapted from Marvel Comics, as they join the Norse god Thor (who is less of a god and more of an alien in this universe, thus averting support for paganism) in stopping his evil brother Loki from conquering the world with an extraterrestrial mercenary army. Despite being the first Marvel feature released by the liberal conglomerate [[Walt Disney Company]] and being directed by liberal Joss Whedon, the film condemns totalitarian ideals, namely Loki's actions. A pivotal scene has Loki forcing innocent Germans to kneel before him, but an old man refuses to submit to "men like him", comparing Loki's actions to Hitler and Nazi Germany's actions. Arriving to confront Loki in the next instant, Steve Rogers/Captain America references Hitler and Johan Schmidt/Red Skull's attempt at taking the world via a similar ideology. Furthermore, the film condemns communism because the heroic assassin character Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow, who works with the superheroes, implies that she regrets her time as a Soviet agent due to having to conduct various atrocities. Law-enforcement is depicted positively, too, as they join the Avengers in their climactic battle to defend New York City when Loki's army invades. Finally, while the film doesn't seem to favor any religion or non-religion in particular, it paints Christians positively when Captain America, before pursuing a fighting Thor and Loki, tells Black Widow, "There's only one God, ma'am, and I'm pretty sure He doesn't dress like that!" in an obvious reference to the Biblical God. Given that a lot of planning went into ''The Avengers'' even before Disney's acquisition of Marvel went into full effect, it should come as no surprise that these conservative subtexts shine through. | | |Widely considered to be the crowning achievement of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this game-changing superhero film brings together several superheroes, all of whom previously starred in related films adapted from Marvel Comics, as they join the Norse god Thor (who is less of a god and more of an alien in this universe, thus averting support for paganism) in stopping his evil brother Loki from conquering the world with an extraterrestrial mercenary army.
