Avenegrs is not a 1/10th of the movie that the star wars pt trilogy is, and is just a silly little action movie about an alien invasion with virtually no storyline and nothing going for it exept witty and humerous dialogue.

This.... is.... motherfvcking.....

Oh, and hai nai

Obvious troll may no be troll. May just be potato-head 'stead. Stupid is as stupid does.

I hate to agree with the troll, but you guys really think Avengers had a better plot/story than the SW PT?

Avengers plot was - Aliens invading, get all the superheroes together to defend the Earth. In the meantime have the superheroes fight each other.

Don't get me wrong, it was wildly entertaining, mainly because we've not seen superhero action on that scale before.

But in terms of story and plot there are even other superhero movies which are much much better- Nolan's Batman series & X-Men First Class come to mind. Heck even the new Spider-man beats Avengers in that department.

Having a plot is worthless without proper execution. A simple, straight forward story can still be leagues above a complicated, emotionally charged, mind-bending story if the latter's execution blows chunks. So yes, the plot of The Avengers is better than the Prequels, if not the concept of the plot.

Though to be honest, the PT is pretty basic and straightforward too: tragic fall of a "hero" amidst turmoil and change.

It is not even just that Avenegrs plot is simple, it is that it is non-descript, it puts very little focus on scenario design or any aspect of storytelling at all.

The truth is that when you watch the SW PT you watch them as serious movies, when you watch avenegrs you watch it as a popcorn movie, and so your standards for the two based on serious storytelling is vastly different.

I can guarantee you if plot and characters were as non descript for SW PT that fans would be far more outraged.

And neither is the execution for the Avengers all that great, nor is the execution of PT bad at all.

Star WARS PT is simply, the better movies, better storytelling and imo the visuals and action easily beats that in Avengers as well. The fight scenes in SW easily beat those in Avengers, being that they actually designed the elegant dueling and swordplay of the characters, and in Avengers simply squared off random superpowers against eachother in obvious ways, the scenery and landscapes in Star Wars were ebautiful and destroy avengers depiction of earth or the other planet, and the big war battles on space or on land were much better as well.

Avengers is literally only better in one ctagaory and that is if you want humerous dialogue.

ROTS was a modern day Macbeth to me.

The main selling point of Avengers was it was something new. We hadn't seen that sort of thing before. Kind of like with LOTR ten years ago and Star Wars back in the 70's and 80's.

But tbh Star Wars and LOTR were far more epic.
