I actually just saw "The Avengers" a few days ago for the first time. Although it is not sci-fi, it has a whole bunch of fantasy and meets a lot of the fantasy expectations. For example, it is a high fantasy. Although, there is a lot of action there are a lot fantasy aspects. For example, the world is a secondary world. So the fantasy world is within our current world. However, this movie has a little twist within the setting because there is the knowledge and acceptance of a world beyond our world and is not our world (also having the capability to interact within both worlds). Not only that, there are portals as well. For example, there is a part of the movie where Loki used his staff as kind of a portal to interact with some group he was plotting evil plans with (I cannot remember the name of that sinister group). Also, the portal to the Earth's atmosphere when the evil army was invading the Earth Another thing is that there is a source of magic within the movie. Multiple examples are Loki's staff, the Hulk's power, Thor's hammer. So the magic element was there. Also, unlike  Falling Kingdoms that has protagonist (hero) development from multiple perspectives, "The Avengers" has an omniscient point of view (as most movies do because it's a movie); however, the character development was a group character development instead of an individual character development. I suppose this week for me was a fantasy week. Well, if you haven't seen this movie yet (although I highly doubt it because I'm always the last person to see a movie), I would recommend it. It's pretty entertaining, and you'll be able to watch the sequel coming out this summer!
