The tropes of the Avengers (2012)

I'll say a lot of stuff about Avengers:
It's overrated, unoriginal, has a horribly written and forgotten protagonist, etc..

But it does have one thing: tropes.
Unoriginal tropes that were done 60 years ago or whatever by Stan Lee, but tropes nonetheless.

Captain America: the human soldier who trusts in the good guys. In Captain America: The First Avenger, he suffered from asthma when he was younger, prior to becoming a super athlete
Iron Man: The man with bootleg Joker's brain. In Iron Man, he's egotistic. Don't quite know what he is in this film.
Also, Martyr ii, looks and flies like Superman, star of the show, saves the world by nuking another.
Thor: The European muscle and the brother of the bootleg Joker
Agent Coulson: the human, the victim, the martyr.
Agent Maria Hill: The romantic comedy beauty turned action hero rookie
Black Widow: the spy, who isn't Russian for whatever reason.
Hawkeye: the mind controlled assassin
and we have a HULK, you don't like it when he's angry.

Loki: the bootleg Joker that both Kenneth Branagh, Joss Whedon and whoever Dark Elves Loki didn't create a consistent character for.
Chitari warship, the only good part of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, good CGI muscle with tons of animation. The Star Destroyer. The Super Star Destroyer. Etc..
