This is my favorite 'MARVEL's Avengers'-movie, probably for the same reason -*The Empire Strikes Back*- is my favorite 'STAR WARS'-movie---it's 'the pivotal episode' ... essentially where you find out the story's not about 'the good guys seeking justice- and protecting the innocent-against the bad guys,' but more about 'finding personal peace with the good guys & the bad guys BOTH continuing to do what comes naturally to them.'
