Catch Up on All the Avengers Backstory in This Handy Explainer

Avengers: Age of Ultron is only a week away. It should be a good one. Lots of action. Lots of explosions. Lots of… plot? Yes, it seems the Marvel universe has gotten a wee bit complicated over the past ten superhero films. If you don’t know your S.H.I.E.L.D.s from your Infinity Stones, this helpful video is for you.

This handy explainer comes from the good folks at Vulture. Hopefully, you’ll be prepared walking into the movie theater on May 1 (or whenever you decide to see this CGI-heavy action spectacle). If not just remember these three simple rules: Hydra = Bad. S.H.I.E.L.D. = Good (usually). Infinity Stones = Probably important. Hawkeye = Kinda underpowered compared to his peers.
