What I saw this past Sunday.

This is what I saw this past Sunday:

 

At Marvel Universe Live, Loki was trying to put together a team to retrieve the pieces of the Cosmic Cube, the ultimate trophy in the Marvel Universe. He'd had past successes, really hitting on a team of Super Villains back in 2007, but his super villain teams lately were kind of falling flat. He hired three better-than-average villains, the Red Skull, Green Goblin, and whoever the guy is who runs AIM these days to get the pieces of the cube. It was a good mix of experienced veterans and young up and comers.

 

Loki's team was pretty good on paper. The problem was that the Avengers put together a better team with better players. In New York, Spider Man took on the Green Goblin, and it was a pretty even match... but Thor had Spidey's back too. The Green Goblin couldn't coach up his team of ham-and-eggers (Rhino, Doctor Octopus, and Lizard) against a star like Thor. Three menial-to-average guys couldn't beat a Thunder God and good support hero like Spider Man, and the Avengers got the piece of the cube they needed pretty easily.

 

At the AIM headquarters, Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain Marvel were taking on the minions of AIM. AIM had everything well in hand... there were flaming whips, explosions, and the heros were defeated. AIM started to take Iron Man too lightly however, and the Avengers were able to pull out a come-from-behind victory with nanoseconds left on the clock. It was a really disappointing loss for AIM because they really beat themselves more than the Avengers won.

 

At Hydra's fortress, the Red Skull and Madame Hydra were pretty incredible dirt bike riders. They were able to do a lot of tricks, and held on to their cube piece pretty well. When Captain America and Falcon showed up though, they were outdone by their insane acrobatics. Captain America and Falcon found a way to win, and the Red Skull, despite having victory in hand, found a way to lose. Honestly, the Red Skull loses to Cap every time. Captain America just has his number.

 

Last they took on Loki. He had a pretty good plan... he got one of the Avengers (Hulk) to sign with him and come over to his team. But Hulk really underperformed once he got there, and wasn't able to take out even one Avenger. Eventually he went back to his former team because he knew they were winners. The Avengers won and hoisted their complete Cosmic Cube, and the team of the Sinister Six, AIM, and Hydra were on the sidelines AGAIN, outdone but bad planning and poor personnel.

 

What did you guys see on Sunday?
