Legends Podcast #370; Marvel's The Avengers (Marvel)

There was an idea… to bring together a group of Marvel's B-List superheroes to see if they could become something more than just a bunch of characters we still had the rights to. To see if they could work together when we needed them to fight the box office battles that the X-Men, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four never could. To see if a throwaway gag in a post-credits scene could actually become one of the highest grossing movies of all time. And then to use a post-credits scene in that movie to set up an even bigger crossover movie six years later. We'll call it The Avengers, an "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" type of thing, and it might take us a while to get any traction, but once we do… the possibilities are infinite!
