Avengers Assemble! discussion

Let's discuss...

Excellent movie.
Great cast.
The guy playing Shang's dad is one of the best MCU bad guys.

Only gripe is (spoiler) : there was no need to include a dragon in the finale.
The focus should have been entirely on Shang and his father.

Also, the fact that they turned the Mandarin into such a brilliant character, shows how badly they screwed up with the Ancient one.

I feel like this movie was essentially a Phase One like introduction to the character(s) - as it should have been.
For the other movies in this phase - Eternals was an introduction but with so many characters - not quite the same... the rest were sequels..
My smaller issue was - I felt Wong and Abomination were shoe-horned in- to give this more of an appearance of "fitting in" to the MCU as a whole.. and the fight club was meh...

The fight club needed more marvel characters.

The Wong/Abomination thing was cute, but makes no sense and even with She-Hulk spending episodes trying to explain it, it still made very little sense, past giving two really good actors something to do.

one of the best movies in phase 4

I agree

Love the fight on the bus!
Really solid movie.
