Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and the Incredible Hulk have been
forced to put aside their differences and work together to defeat the
devastating (and educated) tag-team of Dr. Doom and Dr.
Octopus, who are attempting to take over my mother’s kitchen – a
strategic move that will no doubt leave scuff marks on the linoleum
floor.
There’s a brief electrical storm in the kitchen and I emerge from a
ball of light. Six-year-old Adam asks the obvious question, “Are you
from the future?” to which I reply, “Yes. Before you freak out, they
make more Star Wars movies – but they suck. Let’s not talk about it.”
“The reason I’m here is to prepare you. I’ve taken a great risk in
coming back, but you must stay alive to see the year 2012 – for 22 years
from now, you will visit a movie theater and see all of your favorite
superheroes in one movie, teaming up to fight the forces of evil!”
Six-year-old Adam Frazier instantly explodes into a chaotic whirlwind of tears, confetti, and tattered shreds of blood-soaked Ninja Turtles pajamas, causing 27-year-old Famous Monster to fade away from existence Back to the Future style. That’s the power of nostalgia – the power of childhood – and ultimately, the power of The Avenger.
