Recap / Avengers Assemble S 3 E 16 Captain Marvel

Go To

Captain America, Falcon, and Thor join Captain Marvel on a mission to repel a Kree group attacking Earth, but why are they targeting the planet?

Tropes:

  • Human Popsicle: Galen Korr and his Kree goons are abducting nuhumans to take back to Hala. The jars are sealed with a special gas that is deadly for humans to breath.
  • Interservice Rivalry: Captain America and Captain Marvel maintain a more-or-less friendly rivalry based on coming from the army and the air force respectively.
  • It's Personal: Apparently Captain Marvel took out Korr's entire squad in a previous encounter, so it's a little personal for him.
  • I Work Alone: Captain Marvel's attitude to start with. She has no problem helping other heroes, but working as part of a team is difficult for her. Cap intimates that her attitude might mean it's not entirely her choosing to go alone, but rather no-one wanting to work with her.
  • Kill All Humans: Galen Korr's back-up plan; launch missiles full of the deadly anti-human gas at Earth and kill anyone who's not an Inhuman, then come back to abduct all the Inhumans later.
  • Killer Robot: The Kree Sentries, of which Galen Korr has several squirreled through his ship.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: Just as Cap says they need a plan for dealing with the Kree, Danvers goes in swinging, since attacking is her plan. Steve testily tells her that even if it was, she should've shared it with the others.
  • Lured into a Trap: The Avengers and Captain Marvel trace a Kree presence to a supposedly abandoned warehouse, which turns to be a Kree spaceship, ready for take-off.
  • Noodle Incident: The thing in Helsinki, for which Hawkeye owes Captain Marvel. She later explains some of the details to Falcon (she HALO-ed in, saved Hawkeye twice, and fought some barbarians, or at least what she assumes were barbarians).
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Cap and Captain Marvel stop bickering, Falcon gets unnerved.
  • The Power of Trust: Captain Marvel trusts Falcon to know how to stop the Kree ship because Captain America trusts him, and that's all she needs to know.
  • Touched by Vorlons: Danvers' backstory is briefly touched on, in that she was abducted by the Kree and experimented on, which is what's given her her powers.
  • While You Were in Diapers: After Captain America shows a surprising aptitude for sneaking, he tells Danvers he's been sneaking around when the only planes she was flying were paper kites.
