So, if it wasn’t clear by now- I love the Avengers first movie. However, the second movie kind of annoyed me. If you don’t follow Marvel, here’s the gist of it- the Avengers are a group of superhuman people who have incredible abilities and the goal is that they could come together to fight the battles that humans cannot handle…
