Summary

Phase One is COMPLETE. The Avengers (2012) brought together Earth's Mightiest Heroes for the first time — and somehow, it actually worked.

In this episode, Cody and Josh break down the film that changed superhero movies forever. We get into the comic book origins of Marvel's most dysfunctional team, the behind-the-scenes chaos of Joss Whedon replacing Zack Penn's script without even meeting him, and why this movie codified the MCU's house style for the next decade.

Plus — the iconic 360 shot and why the aspect ratio change was intentional, Mark Ruffalo's "I'm always angry" scene and whether it actually holds up, why Loki might be the most psychologically complex villain in Phase One, Black Widow's interrogation scene and what it set up for her character, and the Shawarma scene that wasn't filmed until the day after the premiere.

We also dig into what Marvel was really risking — they were already in production on this film before Thor or Captain America had even been released.
