The author tries to showcase the decisions one should make regarding the betterment of the human race regardless of whether one will be required to go against his relatives.
In response to the threat Fury strategizes to bring the shield. In contrast to his decision the other security body by the name World Security Council explains it is impossible for the avenger’s team to work together. In reiteration to their opinion, Fury who is the shields director of operations concludes that the shield team has no option other than to work together since this is basically the one and only solution to track down Loki who is a global threat. The author in this scenario tries to show that during attacks people should be united against the common enemy since incase the enemy succeeds they will all share in the pain.
In the plot of the movie “The Avengers”, Nick is the leader of the global peace keeping force, and goes by the name, the shield. They all hold him with high esteem and due regard of his authority as the team leader. This enables them to have a common head that organizes or directs actions to be taken.

Due to team work a Chitaurian leader proceeds to tell his master that it is useless to invade the earth. Otherwise, fighting the shield is engaging in a losing battle or basically a suicidal mission. This scene shows that if people would unite they would succeed in cornering the enemy to a point that he or she will get intimidated by the unity. Otherwise, the enemy sees a chance between or among divided people.
After successfully combating the Chitaurian army, the shield is seen in a Shawarma joint eating together. Though they seem worn out, they are now united and strong. The author achieves to show that people who are not in good terms should not avoid working together. They should instead try to bridge the gap, but not build a wall this will enable them to get back in good terms. This is evident as it was seen by the avengers.
Thor starts to reason with agent Coulson about the whereabouts of Jane Foster who was a witness in a case regarding the avenger’s involvement in the mission to protect the world from the global threat. Coulson relates to the case by telling him that Jane Foster is in the witness protection program of the shield.

He tries to pass a message that witnesses are important people in a case and their safety should be overseen so as to ensure that they are safe and the evidence is intact. Otherwise, use of particular plot elements is clearly vital for it helps carry certain deep meaning, as well as teaching to the viewer.
