The Avengers priviliges the technological over the humane in every single frame of its pornographic existence, and is a mirror of our fascination with power, control and the illusion of technology. It gives us everything we think we want, but with all reflexivity on those wants being reduced to jokey-irony and cute self-reference. I feel comfortable calling this a worse case scenario of movie-going: nothing but explosions and boredom. D
