In, Psychopathology of Everyday Life (Freud 1901), Sigmund Freud describes the evidence and unconscious meaning behind everyday verbal cues and actions. In his theory, a Freudian Slip is a "Slip of the tongue," or an individual's error in speech and action, usually attributed to an unconscious desire. Like, calling a spouse by an ex name, or yelling at someone, who has nothing to do with your source of anger. If, we can attribute an individual's actions and thoughts to their "unconscious" desires and memories, then surely, we can apply the same logic to the public, at large. We can attribute an entire culture or nation's behavior and actions to their unconscious beliefs, feelings, and experiences. An even larger experiment in psychoanalysis can be applied to major Hollywood Blockbuster Hits like James Cameron's Avator (2009), Wachowski's The Matrix (1999-2003), and particularly for this writings' expos'e, Marvel's Avengers. Marvel's Avengers (Avengers 2012 & Age of Ultron 2015) has grossed well over $1.1 billion dollars in ticket sales. There isn't a better movie to be analyzed to uncover the innermost thoughts, feelings, beliefs and desires of an entire nation and culture? These movies and their written scripts not only disclose the unconscious minds of its writers, but the surrounding culture and society, which permits these mega productions for cultural exchange of ideas and feelings of "timeless" grandeur & glory. In this writing series, we will go inside the mind of Hollywood and uncover the hidden meanings and interpretations, of one of its most successful hits to date, Marvel's The Avengers.
