I've just got to take a moment out after watching this to
Even after watching 10 years worth of movies, It's still unreal to me that they managed to get people to care about The Avengers - mainly anchored around second tier characters - to the point that it stands a legit chance of ending up as the highest grossing movie of all time.
I remember picking up comics on the way to school two decades ago and being that they'd sold out of X-Men at the newsagents I would cop from, and so I grudgingly picked up this issue

If you'd told me in '93 where we are in 2019 I would have been straight
TBH I loved the xmen but the avengers in modern times the writers stepped their game up... Especially during the civil war arc shyt was serious...
I always knew the avengers especially Iron Man could be a top tier... I mean a man in a super powered suit of armor being a super hero writes itself... Also the captain america thing I liked the arc with the terrorist after the 9/11 comic in the book where he's chasing after a fictional terrorist and the terrorist is linked to the same govt. I think anything in the early 2000's is when they started to get really hot before the movies...
But the xmen will always be number 1 in my heart... They don't get enough credit..
