Heroes

With all of the recent drama I have had in my relationship with April, I have not been maintaining my movie nights with the immigrant alien population.  To my pleasant surprise, they have been upholding the tradition on their own.  They have been more successful in figuring things out on their own lately.  Still, one topic has come up quite a bit lately: Super Heroes.

I admit, I have not steeped myself in quite as much current popular culture research as I thought, but I blame myself for that since the first collective experience I shared with many of the new arrivals last July was Comic Con.  I suppose it was more vague and overwhelming at the time, but now there is growing concern about this motion picture event documenting the group known as The Avengers.

My understanding is that these “Avengers” are a group of beings, both human and alien who have sworn to protect the Earth from other alien threats.  This has created growing concern among my brethren for two reasons.  First, they worry that they may be the perceived threat and fear the wrath of these formidable heroes.  Second, they worry about the vengeance these Avengers might be bringing forth.  We are all unfamiliar with human vengeance, but we know too well the lengths Martians will go to for vengeance, which can be quite terrifying.

I tried to assure my alien comrades that this movie is merely a work of fiction, but even I cannot be completely sure of this.  I suppose we will have to see it to find out what kind of people these Avengers are.
