The Averages

About This Movie

So, 'The Averages' is this quirky comedy that really plays with the idea of superhero tropes by flipping them on their heads. You've got Thor, of all characters, taking on a more mundane role, writing about the everyday happenings of non-superheroes. It’s like a slice-of-life but with a sprinkle of parody superheroes who are just, well, average. The pacing swings between quick, punchy humor and those quieter moments that let the absurdity of their situations breathe, which I found pretty refreshing. The performances lean into a style that feels at once familiar and surprisingly relatable, with practical effects that keep the whole experience grounded. It’s this blend of the ordinary and the extraordinary that makes it stand out against the usual superhero fare.
