Talk:Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I have grown up as a marvel fan so the topic is one that interests me and I feel as though my knowledge of the movies and comics will make it easier to understand what I am researching about. I think the article has a good set up and timeline of the avengers movies and it includes many details as to what occurs and who is involved. This matters because of how popular marvel has become and its impact on todays society with media and advertising, this franchise will be researched and looked into by many who see these ads on their socials.

Evaluate the article
The Lead section has included a proper introductory sentence about the avengers and its basis, including the creators of the comics and the year. As well as the descriptions of each major section which were briefly covered. From what I understood there was not any inclusion of information that is not present in the article. This lead is very concise with the right amount of detail, it is not drawn out with unnecessary information.

The content is decently organized, including the concept and creation of avengers, the appearances, fictional biography including each battle scene explanation, rosters, alternate versions (what if?...), as well as the comparison to the comics. the content is up to date since it covers the aftermath of the blip which is the last Avengers movie as well as mentioning briefly doctor strange in the multiverse of madness which comes after the last avengers and shows an alternate version in the multiverse. No equity gaps have been found in this article.

The tone and balance in this article is extremely balanced and straight to the point with no bias to a single point of view. Each major section were equally described while giving readers the information they need to understand the content. The descriptions of the timeline were balanced with the way the movie unraveled. No persuasion to one point of view or opinion was found.

sources and references. Facts seem to basically always be backed up by a reliable source available to this type of topic. they are extremely up to date and current with todays facts as well as reflecting the topic well. after clicking on many links many sources go to another wikipedia page. However what was noticed is that they all properly correlate with one another and add up properly. It would be very difficult to find academic sources for a topic such as this one depending on what the researcher is looking for.

the organization and quality of writing is very simple and basic which is great for the type of readers who would be researching this topic such as teens after watching a marvel movie and looking for answers as to what actually happened. the grammar is correct and the sentences flow when reading them.

Images and media are included in this article and are well captioned with the location and timeframe. They advance the understanding of the topic and are well distributed throughout the article with only a few key images every few major topics.

Talk page discussion: The main type of conversations noticed about this article is the debate of who was actually involved/ affiliated/ named within the avengers. which fair enough since between the three major films much changes between who is alive, dead, superhero, avengers, future avenger etc.. the article is apart of 4 wikiprojsects such as film/ marvel cinematic universe, television/ marvel cinematic universe, comics/ United States/Marvel/films and fictional characters. although this is not a topic that would be directly talked about in the class, the debates and conversation about this article are extremely similar to how our class talks about the media such as the corn kid and our perception of how fast kids can become famous but are they really famous if they will be forgotten in a week?

Overall impressions. Since marvel has become so popular within the last few years I believe this article has definitely gotten a lot of attention and refining over time. the article is well organized and well tied into the marvel article which helps maintain its relevancy in the public eye.

Although the article is about the movie avengers it would be nice to actually have an understanding of who the avengers are and the difference between the original avengers in movie one versus how it evolved thought two and three and with who. Overall a well-developed article.
