Do you ever have those moments where you think to yourself, “Has it really been that long”? One of those moments happened to me a week ago. I was watching a YouTube video where someone was saying that The Avengers came out ten years ago. I almost didn’t believe it. Sure enough, I looked it up, and The Avengers was released on May 4th, 2012. I can’t believe it’s been ten years since The Avengers was released in theaters.

Four years ago, I wrote a post on Bizarre Brunette about why The Avengers film means so much to me. I won’t repeat myself too much except to say that The Avengers was a major factor in why I started reading comics. It makes me think that I have been reading comics full-time for almost a decade, which is mind-boggling to me.

When I reminisce about my love for The Avengers, I think back to my freshman year of college. In my dorm room, I had two Hawkeye posters. I remember hanging them on my wall. This leads me into the line of thinking where it’s been ten years since my freshman year of college and my high school graduation. There’s been so much change in my life from 2012 to 2022.

Without getting too off-topic, I was thrown off by The Avengers being released ten years ago. Let me know in the comments if you have felt something similar, where you’re thrown by how long it’s been since either a movie, TV show, or something happened in your life that was rather significant.
