The Peoples’ Review II: The Avengers

The People’s Critic has heard the proletariat's pleas for a careful dissection of this wildly popular film. The plot of the film is quite simple: evil aliens attack earth and super heroes pulled from far too many prequel movies are called on to defend all mankind. With explosions. But there is a truly insidious under plot that disturbs this Commissar.

The Avengers team is put together by a shadowy organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. led by Director Fury played by Mace Windu. This organization is supported by the “elected” representatives of the workers of the world. Thor’s brother Loki gets the support of an invading army of alien fascists to conquer earth. With Loki’s silver tongue and bribes, he is able to show how loyal bourgeois agents are and turn them to the fascist cause.

As the war between the capitalists and the aliens intensifies, the Avengers struggle as the capitalists try to encourage as much destruction as possible to profit off of the rebuilding of the city. The leaders of the world proletariat bring this up to Mace Windu, but he reveals that he truly is the puppet of the Corporate capitalists, and he ignores their orders. The leaders see the capitalists are losing the war, send in their own hero of the people to eliminate the threat with a devastating attack. With their aid, the bourgeois Avengers are able to claim another victory on the back of the common man. This helps to propagate the oppression of the proletariat under the boot of the Corporatist State.

While pointing out that the corporate elite are helpless without the workers they oppress, the film primarily serves to glorify the Marvel brand and allow the fat cats to glutton on all the oppression they are sneaking on an unaware masses. This capitalist plot is most insidious. With explosions.

Ratings:
Capitalist Slant 10/10 as the film glorifies the Capitalists at every turn.

Brainwashing propaganda 5/10 due to it being fairly obvious as the Capitalists flaunt their power.

People's Recommendation: Avoid and denounce for the Capitalist Propaganda that it is!
