    All points have led here. It was at the very end of 2008's Iron Man, when Sam Jackson's Nick Fury stepped from the shadows to introduce the "Avengers Initiative," that a planet full of fanboys collectively shrieked like the engines of a Quinjet. And now, just a mere four years later, Earth's Mightiest Heroes truly did assemble in one of the greatest superhero movies ever. Writer-helmer Joss Whedon's nimble direction, gift for humor and dialogue, and affection for the source material are all major reasons why Avengers works as well as it does, but don't discount the overall great casting of the Marvel films with actors we genuinely connect to, nor, of course, mega-producer/Marvel overseer Kevin Feige's grand vision for what the Marvel Cinematic Universe could and should be. And they're just getting started, too!
