Avengers is a film series recounting the adventures of superheroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and especially our favorite: Thor! In these adventures, they fight sources of evil that are always irrational compared to our context (we're talking about aliens, artificial intelligence, etc.).
The powers of these heroes come from various sources, we have:
- Captain America: he was injected with a serum during World War II, greatly enhancing his athletic abilities and strength. Steve Rogers has since been frozen and awakened in modern times.
- Iron Man: His power comes from his intelligence; indeed, Tony Stark made a fortune in arms sales and then created his own robot suit allowing him, among other things, to fly and shoot missiles.
- Hulk: An accident during a scientific test, Bruce Banner has radioactive waves inside him caused by an explosion. Whenever he gets angry, he transforms into the green monster we all know.
Then, we have our favorite: Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth. He is on a whole other level: he is a god. Nothing more, nothing less. God of Thunder, son of Odin, protector of Asgard, Avengers, he wears many hats.

He was noticed by the Avengers when he made a mistake on his world, Asgard, and was exiled to Earth. Since then, he alternates between different worlds to maintain eternal peace.
The entire Avengers team is led by SHIELD, an anti-terrorism organization. At its head is Nick Fury, a former elite veteran turned super-spy.
FIRST THREAT: THE TESSERACT
Having been exiled from Asgard for high treason, Loki allies with "the other," an alien wanting to control the world. To do this, he must possess the tesseract: a source of infinite energy. Loki breaks into SHIELD offices, armed with his magic scepter. He causes major damage and enchants Clint and Dr. Selvig before disappearing with the Tesseract. The energy released by this source is so strong it creates an explosion that destroys Nick Fury's offices.
Chapter 1: Gathering
Nick Fury decides to gather the Avengers: the threat is too great to summon just one. Bruce, Tony, Steve, and Thor show up. They quickly locate Loki in Stuttgart, trying to dominate the German population. They capture him quickly, but a dispute arises about where Loki should be held. Indeed, as tradition would have it in the Thor films, Loki wants to be imprisoned in Asgard, like all the gods' prisoners, while the others want to imprison him on Earth.
Chapter 2: Division
The group dissolves, and they come to blows. Iron Man attacks Thor, Captain America arrives, and Thor attacks Steve. A long fight ensues, ending with the three Avengers giving up: it’s useless to fight. Back on the ship with Loki, the group is divided, each trying to blame the others, while Natasha interrogates Loki, who reveals his plan: an attack is coming on the ship.
Chapter 3: The Aircraft Carrier Attack
Natasha has no time to warn her friends before a first missile is fired by Clint, still under the enemy’s control. The damage is catastrophic: deaths, injuries, material damage, but especially the disappearance of Loki and his scepter. The only positive point: Clint Barton is recaptured by the Avengers and eventually comes to his senses. An alert sounds: a dimensional portal will open in New York.
Chapter 4: The New York Attack
The Avengers hurry, but arrive too late: the portal is already open and aliens are invading the city. A huge battle breaks out, with the Avengers trying their best to save the population by pushing back the enemies. They were too many; when one alien was repelled, three more arrived: a solution had to be found. That solution? Only Loki’s scepter can close the portal and prevent new monsters from arriving. Meanwhile, the national council meets and votes for a New York eradication using a missile. Iron Man, who has been warned, manages to redirect the missile into the portal while Natasha closes the portal using the scepter, thus eradicating the aliens and preventing their return forever. Loki is eventually captured and delivered to Asgard, and each Avenger goes their own way. Thor, of course, joins his brother in Asgard where he will be imprisoned for life.
SECOND THREAT: ULTRON
Once the war is over and the scepter recovered, Tony Stark wants to analyze the power contained in Loki’s scepter. He teams up with Banner and they discover it is controlled by a super-powerful artificial intelligence, far more advanced than the one Tony Stark already has. He sees an opportunity: to improve his system using this new discovery, which he names Ultron.
Chapter 1: Ultron Awakens
During a somewhat drunken party with Stark’s friends and the Avengers, Ultron awakens and decides to control all of Stark’s robots to carry out a mission: kill all the Avengers. The Avengers manage to control the robots fairly easily, but not Ultron, who manages to escape.
Chapter 2: The Sokovia Assault
Ultron goes to Sokovia where he builds a huge pillar made of vibranium. When activated, the entire city will be lifted hundreds of meters into the air, then fall with the force of a meteorite. The impact would be so powerful it would affect the entire planet, annihilating all life forms. The Avengers arrive and first try to save the people in the city, but Ultron intervenes, stronger than before with a huge army of obedient robots. Thor and his friends continue saving people while Hulk teams up with Wanda to destroy Ultron. They manage to defeat him and blow up the airborne city once it has been evacuated by the Avengers.
Chapter 3: Return to Calm
Wanda finally destroys the artificial intelligence, eliminating all danger. The Avengers reestablish their office in New York, funded by Tony. Each goes their own way, all wanting a well-deserved retirement while Thor wants to return to Asgard to watch over his family.
