How The Avengers Should Have Ended

BRUCE BANNER (VOICE OVER)

Dear Director Fury: We accept that we all had to give up being the stars of our own movies in order to save the world. However, we think you’re

crazy to ask us to write an essay on who we think we are. You see

us as you want to see us, on the simplest terms and the most convenient

definitions. But, what we discovered today is that each one of us is a monster…

 

              CAPTAIN AMERICA (VOICE OVER)

…and a super soldier…

 

              BLACK WIDOW (VOICE OVER)

…and a spy…

 

              THOR (VOICE OVER)

…and a demi-god…

 

              HAWKEYE (VOICE OVER)

…and an assassin…

 

              IRON MAN (VOICE OVER)

…and a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist.

 

              BRUCE BANNER

 Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Avengers.
