The Battle of New York from 'The Avengers' continues to affect MCU storytelling all these years later.
Recently, Kevin Feige revealed that he and the other creatives at Marvel Studios are meeting at a retreat to plan out the next 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the tumultuous past few years because of the pandemic, Phase 4 of the MCU has had a rocky start to its follow-up phase to the Infinity Saga.
In 2012, Iron Man , Captain America , Thor , Hulk , Black Widow , and Hawkeye first assembled in New York City, where Loki decided to start his assault on Earth and lead his Chitauri invasion. Both within its story and as a film itself, The Avengers was an experiment, an “idea to bring together To bring together, a group of remarkable people to see if they could become something more, so when we needed them, they could fight the battles that we never could,” to use Nick Fury’s words.
Tony Stark’s heroism in the first Avengers came with a cost — the constant fear that another Battle of New York would occur. So, the rest of Stark’s story until his death would be defined by this hypervigilance. In the follow-up Avengers film, Age of Ultron, he and Bruce Banner accidentally create an artificially intelligent defense system. Using the mind stone recovered from Loki’s staff from the New York, Stark creates Ultron, which he calls a “suit of armor around the world.
But the most notable scene that demonstrates the trauma of the Battle of New York on everyday people comes from Jessica Jones. When Jessica confronts a woman threatening her at gunpoint, the woman says, “The newspaper said you were heroes. Not me. The city was saved but I was there. I saw what really happened. I saw my mother crushed to death under a building that you people destroyed in the incident.
