PROLOGUE

The New World.

ENTER CHORUS.

CHORUS

A new adventure, and the darkest yet—

Now starts a drama ye shall ne’er forget.

Th’Avengers face their strongest, vilest foe:

Mad Thanos, who hath come to work them woe.

Afore our author’s saddest moments start, 5

New characters and tales I must impart.

Cue our first tale and witness Scott Lang bold,

Ill-fated thief who hath a heart of gold.

Vow’d he to see his daughter steadily.

Imbued with wise Hank Pym’s technology, 10

Lang turn’d to Ant-Man, did vast powers use.

With help of insects led by mental cues,

At small or large size, never at a loss,

Resoundingly he thwarted Darren Cross.

Driv’n on by loyalty to Bucky Barnes, 15

Our Cap’n, Steve Rogers, did spin other yarns.

Controll’d by governments across the globe,

Th’Avengers were beneath a ruthless probe.

Once it seem’d Barnes to murder did descend,

Rose Steve to help his oldest, truest friend. 20

Such battle was there mongst Avengers all

That, in the end, in two camps did they fall.

Renown’d physician, Doctor Stephen Strange,

Arriv’d in our next play. His life did change—

Nepal is where he fled, post-accident. 25

Gone seeking cures, to the Kamar-Taj was sent.

Eventu’lly he learn’d from th’Ancient One

Vast powers that o’er time and space did run.

Once he was vain and supercilious—

Liv’d he to help defeat Kaecilius. 30

Undaunted did the Guardians come back.

Met Quill his father: Ego, maniac,

Expos’d the cosmos to a mighty threat

Till Yondu help’d the Guardians’ quintet.

Whilst Drax met Mantis, theirs a friendship glad, 35

Op’d Peter’s heart to Yondu, like a dad,

Soon Neb’la and Gamora reconcil’d—

Profounder peace through all of this was styl’d.

In new tales, Peter Parker wanted more;

Desiring action after civil war, 40

Excited Spider-Man found what he sought.

Reworking otherworldly tech he’d caught,

Mean Adri’n Toomes—the Vulture flown its pen—

Arrang’d to sell his weapons to vile men.

New-cloth’d in suit from Tony Stark, our Parker 45

Rose up to save his town from something darker.

Again Thor grac’d our stage in Ragnarok—

Gone back to Asgard, bringing Loki shock.

Ne’er was his brother bad as Hela, though,

A sister dark whom Thor did never know. 50

Revealing all her powers harsh and vast,

Off to Sakaar Thor was, with Hulk, outcast.

Korg, Miek, and Valkyrie did help them flee,

Although Asgard was o’erthrown utterly.

New to these dramas came Wakanda great— 55

Dominion of T’Challa, noble state.

Before he could be king, secure his throne,

Long-gone Killmonger made his challenge known.

Arose he o’er the king, who was unseated;

Came war until Killmonger was defeated. 60

King fix’d, T’Challa to the world reveal’d

Pow’r massive that Wakanda great did wield.

Astonishing, these tales our bard hath penn’d!

Next comes this drama we could not forfend—

The apogee of all that’s gone before, 65

Here cometh an infinity of war.

Erase whatever ye expect to see;

Rehearse we now a mournful tragedy.

[Exit Chorus.
