An Inaccurate Incident
WARNING ONLY FOR EXTREME MARVEL FANS
Dearest Bloggers,
My parents and I recently attended a barbecue, to which we were invited by one of my father's coworkers. The day was mostly splendid, the food was scrumptious, and the new friends (on my part) intriguing. But (and alas there is always a 'but') there was a downside. Directly after sundown, one of the younger girls chose to bring out an Avengers-themed kite (at which I was astounded). However, this kite offended me personally. Why, you ask? BECAUSE IT WAS INACCURATE. The kite in question featured Captain America (Steve Rogers), Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff), Hawkeye (Clint Barton), Thor (no cool nickname), the Incredible Hulk (Dr. Bruce Banner's alter ego), and Iron Man (Tony Stark, who for SOME REASON was denied the title of Avenger). Apart from the fact that Hawkeye's nose was ridiculously large, they (designers of the kite) COMPLETELY disregarded Avengers: Age of Ultron. Or, as I prefer to call it, the Five Days of Ultron. What about Vision? The Maximoff twins? They were Avengers as well! Were they somehow deemed lesser? We don't know. Stay tuned for more journalistic exploits, angered rants, and just plain silliness.
Faithfully yours,
Raneem Rashid
