The Avengers

Rising Star Gets stronger in later rounds
2012 · Science Fiction, Action, Adventure · Joss Whedon

The overall record undersells The Avengers. 39% across 71 head-to-head matchups looks average until you look at how the numbers shift as a tournament progresses. The film that proved a shared cinematic universe could work, carrying the momentum of an unprecedented experiment. Spectacle and event-level excitement give it a massive floor on any ballot. Decisions land in 0.9s on average — too fast for deliberation. This is pure instinct.

Synopsis

When an unexpected enemy emerges and threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins!

Where it thrives

The opening number doesn't capture it. 31% early, 53% in the semis, 63% in the final — The Avengers builds as the competition gets tougher, a trajectory most films can't sustain.

The closest rivalry is with The Dark Knight at 46% — a matchup tight enough that a handful of votes could flip the lead. The Avengers owns The Godfather Part II at 67% but Mad Max: Fury Road flips the script entirely: just 25%.
