Road to the Avengers #21 Elektra You wanna pull the trigger or should I Spoiler Alert Plot Summary After being killed in Daredevil, Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner) is revived by a blind martial arts master called Stick(Terence Stamp). She is brought to his training compound to learn Kimagure, an ancient martial arts discipline that provides its practitioners with precognition as well as the ability to resurrect the dead. Elektra is soon expelled because of her inability to let go of her rage. She leaves and uses her training to become a contract killer. Years later, Elektra infiltrates a heavily guarded area, kills the guards, and manages to slay her target DeMarco (Jason Isaacs). Elektras agent McCabe (Colin Cunningham) receives an unusually large offer from an anonymous client wishing to hire Elektras services. The only stipulation: she must spend a few days in a rented home on the island where the assassination is to be performed before the names of the targets are revealed. During the wait, Elektra finds a girl Abby (Kirsten Prout) who tried to swipe Elektras necklace and Elektra sends her away. While meditating, Elektra meets and befriends Abbys father Mark Miller (Goran Visnjic). Abby later invites Elektra to dinner on Marks behalf. Later that day, Elektra discovers that Abby, like Elektra herself, has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Elektra develops a romantic interest in Mark, but soon learns he and Abby are the targets she has been hired to kill. Elektra spares them and leaves, but later returns in time to protect them from assassins sent by The Hand, a crime syndicate of ninjamercenaries. Meanwhile, Roshi (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), master of The Hand, learns of the failed attempt and permits his son Kirigi(Will Yun Lee) to lead a new team of assassins to kill Elektra and return with Abby, referred to as The Treasure. Elektra tries to leave Abby and Mark with Stick, but he scolds her into protecting them herself. She then drives Mark and Abby to McCabes country house, but is followed by Kirigi, Typhoid (Natassia Malthe), Stone (Bob Sapp), Kinkou (Edison T. Ribeiro), and Tattoo (Chris Ackerman). Elektra flees with Mark and Abby through a secret underground exit to the orchard, while McCabe sacrifices himself to allow them to escape. Kirigi and the assassins hunt down Elektra, Mark, and Abby in the forest nearby. Elektra manages to kill Stone, while Abby and Mark kill Kinkou with one of his own daggers. As Elektra is distracted by the revelation that Abby has martial arts skills, Typhoid gives Elektra the Kiss of Death. Abby is captured by Kirigi. Suddenly, Stick and his Chaste ninjas arrive, forcing Kirigi, Typhoid, and Tattoo to retreat. The Stick manages to save Elektra from death and takes them under his protection. Stick confirms Abby is a martial arts prodigy which is the Treasure of martial arts whom the Hand seek to use. Elektra learns that she was a Treasure herself and her mother was a casualty of the fight between The Chaste and The Hand with her as reason. She also learns that Stick set up the murder contract on Mark and Abby in order to test Elektras propensity for compassion. Elektra astrally projects herself to a meeting with Kirigi and challenges him to a fight; the winner claiming Abby for their own purpose. Elektra returns to her childhood home to face Kirigi, and finally remembers he was her mothers killer. Elektra is defeated by Kirigi, but Abby arrives and engages him long enough for Elektra to recuperate. Elektra and Abby then escape and hide in a hedge maze but are separated when Abby is captured by snakes dispatched by Tattoo. Elektra finds Tattoo and kills him, saving Abby in the process. Elektra engages Kirigi a second time and manages to kill him. Typhoid poisons Abby, the same way she did to Elektra earlier, killing her in the process. Elektra kills Typhoid and successfully resurrects Abby, overcoming her rage. When Mark comes to take Abby, he and Elektra kiss and go their separate ways. Just as Elektra leaves the grounds of her childhood home for the final time, she meets Stick and the two exchange words to each other. Elektra departs, knowing Abby and Mark will be safe. Review We begin with a voice over which is something I kinda like but when you told me the story within the opening credits after the opening we get a scene where Elektra is hunting down (Jason Isaac) after a while Elektra bonds with Mark and Abby who are are main protagonists Mark and Abby and Elektra are attacked by unknown ninjas the group meet up with Stick (Terrance Stamp from superman 1 & 2) an hour into the film with a half hour left I feel the way I did with the 1990s Generation X and Fantastic Four. I might be showing my hand with my recommendation but I will clarify Ive seen this movie only once before and I am forgetting how horrible it was I think I started my punisher film early because I am being punished The only thing I do like is Typhoid Mary kisses Elektra and makes her turn grey Elektra fights the bad guy she kills tattoo she kills the bad guy (who I dont even know his name) and throws a sigh at Mary the movie pretty much ends Elektra heals Abby Mark shows up they kiss Elektra walks away into the sequel that was never made and is now owned by Marvel Studios as well as her boyfriend Daredevil Comics Daredevil #168 Recommendation I give this movie a strong not recommend and I am sorry for not writing more on my review but this movie dragged I had a hard time keeping my eyes open The next review is Road to the Avengers #22 The Punisher (Hulk)
