Quick Post On The Avengers Movie Part II


A question came in on the original post. I'll paraphrase: "Do I need to see any of the previous films to enjoy The Avengers?".

I would suggest seeing Thor. Loki is the main villain and Thor is really the setup for The Avengers. Thor sets up Loki's motivation for his actions in The Avengers. With that said, if you haven't seen Thor, they explain enough to bring you up to speed.

The Ed Norton Incredible Hulk is referenced, but if you've ever seen an episode of the show or red any issues of The Incredible Hulk, you're good. The one line that definitely ties it into the continuity is one about what Hulk did to Harlem.

As for Captain America, it's technically the lead in, but all you really need to know is that he is a government created super soldier that the government hasn't been able to replicate and he was frozen for 70ish years.

If you haven't seen one Iron Man film, you'd be fine. They're barely referenced and what references there are are explained.

Nuff Said!
