I was compensated for this post in exchange for promoting Marvel Universe Live. All opinions remain 100% my own.
My ears and eyes might still be recovering ever so slightly from the spectacle that was Marvel Universe Live at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon this weekend. From the swirling light show, blazing fire, firework-like special effects, and the roar of motorcycles, this show was definitely exciting. My husband joined me, as well as my children. My 7 year old son especially loved it. I also have a 10 year old son, and it seemed like he was maybe the only boy his age in attendance! So, I was unsure if this might not be something he would like. But rest assured, he enjoyed it thoroughly, too.
All of your favorite Avengers were in attendance: Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Captain America. A few special guests, such as Spiderman and Wolverine added to the show. Their goal was to stop Thor's brother, Loki, from his evil plan of combining three fractals to gain supreme power in the hopes of ruling the world. Did Loki succeed? Not at all. But it wasn't without a tough fight from your favorite Marvel characters.
Taking on villains like Loki, Red Skull, and the Green Goblin, among others, was no small task. But your brave Marvel superheroes fought hard and succeeded! Whether they were chasing villains on motorcycles or trying to fight them on the Statue of Liberty, the live action was fun and entertaining, especially after intermission. That's when the show really started to pick up. My 7 year old couldn't sit still and was on the edge of his seat.
Tickets still remain for the final set of shows on Sunday, March 6th, at the Moda Center. For ticket information, click here.
