The Avengers would get together occasionally, and they would stay together to have a drink and chat, just like they always did in the past.
Tony Stark often serves as the organizer and invites members to his building, which can also be said to be the Avengers base.
Peter also received an invitation from Tony Stark.
Although Stark is arrogant, he has never been a stingy person. Although he and Peter have different ideas at work, this does not affect Stark's still treating Peter as a friend.
As for Peter, he had also felt the charm of Stark in the movies and comics, although he had some trouble getting along with him, when he knew that Stark was a good person.
It can only be said that movies and comics have created a majestic image of Tony Stark, but if you really get closer to his life, you will find that he is not only Iron Man, but also an alcoholic.
Tony Stark shook the champagne in his hand and said: "It's my turn next, let me think about it... What do I have that you don't... Oh, I have a Ph.D."
He said proudly: "Those who don't have a doctorate, please drink up the wine in your glass."
This is a common drinking game in which players get other players to drink by saying something they have that others don't have.
Dr. Banner said that he has a doctorate, Peter also has a doctorate, and the Supreme Mage Strange has a doctorate in medicine. Even his hero name Doctor Strange has the word "Doctor" in it.
Only Captain America Steve Rogers and Thor were forced to drink alcohol.
Steve said seriously: "In our era, becoming a soldier required more courage than obtaining a doctorate. Pure intellectuals all served the war, such as participating in the research and development of the atomic bomb."
Thor was even more disdainful: "There are no doctors in Asgard, and knowledgeable scholars do not need to prove themselves through false names."
Stark looked around and said: "The Avengers should be a team with high academic qualifications, but it doesn't matter. I have more than one doctorate. On average, we are still doctors per capita."
Then he laughed and drank the wine himself.
He still maintains his arrogant nature, and Peter Parker knew that Stark would pretend to casually mention his superhuman intelligence when he proposed to play a game to liven up the atmosphere.
It was Thor's turn next, and no one was expecting Thor to speak, because everyone knew what he would say.
It's nothing more than that only recognized people can lift the hammer of Thor.
The answer is obvious, everyone but Thor and Steve should have a drink.
But what was unexpected was that Thor did not mention his favorite hammer, but instead mentioned an insignificant identity as an Asgardian.
Only Thor himself was present as an Asgardian, which meant that even Steve had to drink a glass of wine as a penalty.
Everyone looked at Thor with wide eyes. Even though the result showed that Thor had a complete victory, this was not in line with Thor's character. He should have taken out his favorite hammer.
Dr. Banner asked worriedly: "Thor, what's wrong with you? Are you drunk?"
Stark was more direct: "Where's your hammer? Take it out and show it off."
Asgardians cannot get drunk from Earth wine. The Avengers all know that something is not right with Thor, but they can rule out the possibility of alcohol being intoxicated.
Thor lowered his head and said the shocking news: "I can't lift my hammer."
The expressions on everyone's faces ranged from pity to surprise. The switching of expressions in this short period of time was truly wonderful.
Peter cautiously asked, "What do you mean you can't lift your hammer?"
Thor replied angrily: "This has happened once before. At that time, I was shaken by the meaning of God's existence, and then I lost my godhood and Mjolnir's recognition."
Mjolnir is Thor's hammer. Peter remembers this plot in the comics. Thor's ex-girlfriend Jane Foster, who was suffering from cancer, picked up Thor's hammer during that period and became the female Thor.
Of course, she also has a more domineering name, the God of Thunder.
Thor then added: "But then I bounced back and gained Mjolnir's approval again, and now I don't know what happened, but it abandoned me again."
In the multiverse, there are others besides Thor who have lifted Mjolnir, and even a frog has lifted a small version of Mjolnir.
Thinking about it this way, this Mjolnir has indeed been lifted by many people. If it had a personality, it would be a scumbag man or woman who always gave up.
Unwilling to give up, Thor opened his hands toward the void and tried to summon his Meow Hammer. After everyone waited in a strange and awkward manner, nothing happened.
If it were Thor in the past, Mjolnir would have broken through all the obstacles and broken the glass window of Stark Tower and then come into his hands.
"It didn't respond to my call. I failed again." Thor said with weak eyes as if he had lost all power.
"Don't be discouraged. Since this kind of thing has happened before, it just means there is a solution." Peter said based on rational analysis.
Thor shook his head and said: "No, this time is different. I'm afraid it's not that simple. This time there is no inducement, and I lose the qualification to lift Mjolnir without any warning. It feels more like some kind of fatigue, too much The powerlessness caused by using Mjolnir."
Peter pointedly pointed out: "It sounds like you have fallen into a mid-life crisis and lost the passion and motivation to kill enemies with a hammer."
As for the Asgardians whose lifespan is almost infinite, Peter doubts whether they will really have a midlife crisis, but Thor's description sounds consistent with the characteristics of a midlife crisis.
Judging from appearance alone, Thor is definitely not a young and strong young man, nor an octogenarian, but somewhere in between.
Doesn't this happen to be the same middle-aged person as myself?
But Thor, the god of thunder, is in a mid-life crisis, which sounds too appalling.
Peter has learned from books that the real midlife crisis is a specific state, not age, which means that people of any age may fall into a midlife crisis due to stage changes.
It is very easy to prove this point. There is also an old antique who has survived from World War II to the present.
Peter asked Steve: "Captain, what's bothering you recently? Don't tell me no, otherwise you won't come to participate in the Stark team's round."
Steve thought for a while and then replied: "I can't understand the technology of young people these days, and I can't understand things on the Internet. As a veteran, I seem to be out of touch with the times again."
This is a normal phenomenon. For Steve, what is difficult to accept is not only technology, but also the fact that modern people's thinking is completely different from the past.
People of his generation believed that as long as they worked hard, they could succeed and realize the so-called American dream, but today's young people don't think so at all. They are more willing to contact the online world, which seems to be a real utopia.
Stark smiled gloatingly on the side, and Peter said to him: "You don't have to be too happy. Isn't the purpose of these parties you initiated just to avoid Miss Pepper Pepper and enjoy your free drinking time?"
Then he solemnly announced: "Gentlemen, it is now confirmed that everyone present has fallen into a mid-life crisis."
