Avengers: Heroes, Power and Fame

Despite the unlikely union of those five heroes saving the world from Loki's threat, many doubts and questions remain about the Avengers. People, whether from the public or the media, still have difficulty seeing them as heroes. But can you blame them? They have in their ranks a pagan god, a creature responsible for death and destruction, who until yesterday was an enemy of the state, a pair of heroes who aren't all that great, and a man known for his lack of common sense and arrogance. It's not exactly a dream team. Wanting to recreate the experiment that gave the Fantastic Four their powers, Simon Utrecht and his colleagues try to replicate it, generating an explosion that caught the attention of the Avengers. Even with the heroes' interference, it somehow worked, with their physiognomies changing thanks to the radiation exposure, gaining powers. They soon become the U-Foes, a team of heroes, sharing the spotlight with the Avengers. They quickly become New York's favorite heroes, despite the mess they usually leave behind when involved, which doesn't usually make it into the media. It's then that the Avengers discover that many of the incidents the U-Foes are involved in are staged, all just publicity stunts, putting other people's lives at risk for fame. This makes a confrontation between the teams inevitable. Especially when the U-Foes decide that New York is too small for them and the Avengers, leading them to attack the team.

X-Men: Project Sentinels

After Magneto's appearance, the world begins to acknowledge the existence of mutants. However, far from bringing acceptance, it brings fear through the media, politics, and especially on the streets, with panic and fear taking over reason. Mutants become targets of hatred and distrust, and even heroes like the X-Men suffer the consequences. Considering the government's measures too slow, Senator Kelly secretly seeks out Bolivar Trask to implement Project Sentinel: machines created under the pretext of locating mutants and protecting humans, but which in reality reveal themselves to be weapons designed to neutralize any mutant. Now hunted, the X-Men must fight to survive. Meanwhile, their personal lives become complicated. Hank undergoes a second mutation, making the codename Beast even more literal. Scott and Jean deepen their relationship, but face obstacles. Faced with increasing persecution, Wendy begins to question whether Magneto was really wrong, a conflict that intensifies when she discovers her father's involvement in Project Sentinel. Bobby, meanwhile, grapples with the revelation that an old friend is a mutant, sparking a rivalry. At the same time, Xavier and Ororo are approached by the Hellfire Club: Sebastian Shaw and Mystique invite them to join a select group of mutants willing to decide the future of their race. The world has changed, lines have been drawn, and sides chosen. Even so, the X-Men remain steadfast, fighting for their dream.

Ant-Man & Wasp

After working together with the Avengers, Hank and Janet grow closer. Hank tries to muster the courage to ask Janet out, already having Vernon's approval. Janet is increasingly excited about her life as a superhero. However, all of this falls apart when Vernon dies unexpectedly from heart failure. Grieving, Jan withdraws, and Hank doesn't know how to help, feeling he has failed once again. But things get even more complicated when an explosion occurs in Pym's lab during an attack led by Whirlwind (the mutant villain the duo defeated at the beginning of the film), leaving Jan injured. Hank blames himself, questioning whether it was a mistake to become Ant-Man again. However, he discovers that the mastermind behind the attack was his old friend, Darren Cross, who years ago worked unsuccessfully with SHIELD in an attempt to replicate Pym particles. Using a sample of the particles, Cross produced his own, albeit unstable, particles. Hank needs to deal with the feelings of failure and doubt he feels in order to stop the man he once called a friend and help Jan. Meanwhile, Jan needs to deal with grief and anger when, even wounded, she joins Hank to stop Cross. However, the two are not alone; they have each other, which strengthens their bond as a heroic duo and perhaps something more.

Hulk: Canadian Winter

Even after joining the Avengers to face Loki, Banner doesn't stay with the team; he flees, knowing it's only a matter of time before they turn against him, before the Hulk wreaks havoc. So he does what he's used to doing, what he's been doing since transforming into the Hulk: he runs away. This leads him to the border between the United States and Canada, wanting to be alone, but he'll discover it won't be so easy. Meanwhile, the United States armed forces, led by Ross, SHIELD by Agent Coulson, and the Avengers by Tony Stark, discuss the best way to deal with the Hulk. Tony wants him on his team, Ross wants him behind bars where he can keep an eye on him and have access to a sample of his blood, while Coulson wants him with SHIELD. As the discussion continues, Ross, after obtaining his location, sends Emil Blondk with the new anti-gamma weapon to deal with Banner. In Canada, Agency H sends Wolverine to deal with a creature in the forest that is attacking people, which leads him to the Hulk.

The Avengers

After being defeated by Thor, Loki is banished by Odin to the Land of Silence, a place capable of driving any being mad. There, time flows differently, and Loki spends centuries in complete isolation, while in Midgard only a short time passes. With his mind sharpened by hatred, he realizes that the barriers between the worlds are weakened: not enough to escape, but enough to spread his influence through whispers and manipulations. Using this power, Loki influences scientists to explore the barrier and manipulates Bruce Banner to unleash the Hulk in New York, keeping Thor occupied. However, the chaos attracts the attention of other heroes: Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Wasp join the fight. After a devastating confrontation, the Hulk is finally contained.

Thor: the God of Thunder

An epic and magical tale of gods, a golden city, a hammer, intrigue, sibling rivalry, and lots and lots of thunder. Decades ago, Thor, the prince of Asgard and heir to the throne, was led astray by his arrogance, which led Odin to send him on tasks among the nine realms, something Thor considered unworthy of the future king of Asgard, but he followed him nonetheless. Until he discovered that it was all a conspiracy by his brother Loki, leading Thor to invade the Asgardian palace during a celebratory meeting with other realms and attack his brother.

In Midgard, Thor meets Jane Foster. Then Thor discovers that Loki plans to take advantage of Odin's sacred sleep to regain his strength, to lead an attack of the ice giants on Asgard, and thus seize power on the throne. Having no choice, Thor must give up the life he has built for himself on Earth, find a way to recover Mjolnir and his powers, return to Asgard, and stop Loki from executing his plan masterfully.

Superman: Man of Tomorrow

The twelfth DCEU film, the fourteenth project. It all started with them, so it's only fair that the end of this first phase should begin with them as well. Their path led them here, to the inevitable clash. Superman versus Lex Luthor. After the battle against Zod and Superman in Metropolis, the confrontation between Steppenwolf and the heroes now known as the Justice League, and the attack by Atlantis on the surface, public opinion is divided about Superman. While some are grateful that the hero saved them, that he is responsible for the world continuing to turn and the sky remaining blue, some believe that metahumans, those who call themselves heroes, especially the Kryptonian, are responsible for these threats arising. This opinion is fueled by Lex Luthor, who, since Zod's attack, has been publicly campaigning to fuel hatred against Superman. As part of his plan to discredit him, Luthor releases Parasite, selling him as a dangerous alien, when in fact he is the result of a LexCorp experiment. However, when his plan fails and Superman saves the day, Luthor decides that if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself, leading him to don his battle armor to show Superman and everyone else who the real Man of Tomorrow is.

Task Force X: The Suicide Squad

With the Justice League and the international crisis caused by interference in the Atlantis conflict, the US government begins to question the limits of the autonomy of these self-proclaimed superheroes and what they can do about it. Waller doesn't have a definitive answer, but she has something, the beginning of something. Obviously, these "heroes" wouldn't simply follow government orders; they see themselves as far above the law, above those chosen for their positions either for their competence or by popular vote. This means the government needs its own squad, its own task force. One that would faithfully follow its orders without hesitation, that would do the dirty work these heroes weren't willing to accept. And she knew exactly where to find it. And so Task Force X was formed. Using super-criminals with neural implants that would explode their brains at the first sign of disobedience, to do the secret and dirty work that most heroes can't and aren't capable of doing. All this under her command, of course. However, the US government seems reluctant to proceed. Well, that is until they need your help and your task force to clean up their mess when a simple experiment not only spirals out of control, but becomes a threat to the entire city of San Francisco. To clean up this crisis, eliminate the threat, and erase any evidence that it ever happened, Amanda Waller assembles the worst of the worst. Things are about to get ugly, and fast.

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis

A few months after the Justice League was formed, it reunites following a series of attacks on coastlines around the world, carried out by a group from underwater. When Atlantis claims responsibility for the attacks, the Justice League intervenes, stopping the last attack led by Prince Orin/Arthur, who justifies the attacks by claiming that the surface attacked first, through the terrorist known as Ocean Master. The Justice League then acts on three fronts: Batman, along with Martian Manhunter, investigates Orin's claims; Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, and Flash confront the Atlantean forces on the surface; while Superman and Wonder Woman go to Atlantis, along with Orin, seeking diplomacy. However, things become complicated when Orm, Arthur's brother and current king of Atlantis, is revealed as the terrorist Ocean Master, responsible for the attacks on his own people, manipulating both sides into war in pursuit of more power. With the League's help, Orin manages to expose his brother, dethroning him for attacking his own people, but it's not over yet. Orm unleashes the Kraken beast as he and his supporters advance to launch an attack on the surface. The Justice League joins forces with Orin to confront him, stop the threat, and prevent war between the two peoples.
