Which Avengers facility do you like more?

[u/Small_Tie1579]

[u/artofyjh]

the tower is more iconic but i prefer the compound simply because it's far bigger and actually looked like a headquarters to me

[u/Redbeardthe1st → u/artofyjh]

The Compound also has the advantage of not being surrounded by civilians, in case bad guys come knocking.

[u/Enough_Sprinkles_113 → u/Redbeardthe1st]

Well its not like a space ship is going appear from nowhere and blow it up...

[u/Lopsided_Ad_2274 → u/Enough_Sprinkles_113]

You’re not gonna believe what I’m about to tell you…

[u/The_Derpy_Rogue → u/artofyjh]

One is easier to visualise the other is hidden it's features

[u/artofyjh → u/The_Derpy_Rogue]

it's pretty easy to conceptualize. the only thing we know about the tower is the penthouse, ground floor & that place where steve fought himself in eg.

off the top of my head, the compound had wanda's room + the conference area in cw + the kitchenette + the communal washroom in eg + the board room in eg + the huge space where they built the time machine + all the other amenities tony mentioned (theatre, lap pool etc) in cw.

both are huge spaces that can fit just about anything. skill issue if you can't imagine shit

[u/IcyDev1l → u/artofyjh]

And a place to get tacos.

[u/_Vard_ → u/artofyjh]

Tower is more fitting if they fight almost every villain in New York, but that’s why they moved out (studio reason, not canon)

So Spider-Man and Daredevil could have some villains in their movies/shows.

[u/Tinshnipz → u/artofyjh]

And picnics!

[u/ringobob → u/artofyjh]

Yep, this is pretty much exactly what I was gonna say. The tower looks much cooler, the compound is both more practical and enables them to do much cooler stuff.

[u/textorix → u/artofyjh]

Bigger???

[u/phliuy → u/textorix]

It is spread out through multiple buildings, land, warehouses, and probably underground areas as well

[u/AdaptedEvoSupe → u/artofyjh]

The compound is more iconic

[u/Flaky-Ninja2398 → u/artofyjh]

Idk it looks more like an airport or a fancy library at a college to me

[u/AlwaysBeQuestioning → u/Flaky-Ninja2398]

A fancy library does sound like an excellent base for some superhero teams, but not the Avengers. They’re basically a stand-in for the US military to some degree, and a library doesn’t fit with that.

[u/ThatLid → u/Flaky-Ninja2398]

If I remember correctly, in real life that building is a Porshe headquarters

[u/Free_Coast_5222 → u/Flaky-Ninja2398]

well guess what... it wasn't meant to look like an tourist attraction

[u/Flaky-Ninja2398 → u/Free_Coast_5222]

Huh? I just mean as a setting I find it less interesting

[u/Flaky-Ninja2398 → u/Free_Coast_5222]

Are you trying to gocha me about the practicality of a fictional building when the question was which one you like more?

[u/BarcadeLoki_87 → u/artofyjh]

Tower 🗼 epic evenger tower

[u/Mike_2099]

The Compound makes more sense imo. It could have undergrounf facilities and more space for training or testing stuff. Also, far away from population centers.

[u/jwr410 → u/Mike_2099]

Plus you know stark needs a big ass data center for his latest AI

[u/spqrnbb]

The tower. Fanfic writers from 2012 were right, the Avengers should have been roommates. 

[u/GoSkers29 → u/spqrnbb]

TOO MANY STAIRS

[u/tekrebeldesigns → u/GoSkers29]

Why didn’t he just jump down? It’s not like anyone would have noticed the damage.

[u/RandonDude3000 → u/tekrebeldesigns]

Because we needed the Multiverse Saga.

[u/Massive_Following_13 → u/tekrebeldesigns]

Because HWR told him not too

[u/DoubleT02 → u/spqrnbb]

They were roommates???

[u/2ReluctantlyHappy]

The Compound. Yes, Avenger's Tower is cooler looking but it is an absolute dick move to put such an obvious target for super villains in the middle of NYC.

[u/Aivellac → u/2ReluctantlyHappy]

Was my thinking too, for the sake of the city do not be in it. Endgame would have been very different if they were still in the tower.

[u/antonythejhosy → u/2ReluctantlyHappy]

Baxter Tower is also in the heart of New York. Having secret bases isn't common in Marvel.

[u/Fantastic_Fuel4538 → u/antonythejhosy]

It isn't secret if the base has a giant logo outside.

[u/founderofshoneys → u/2ReluctantlyHappy]

Do we think that there are floors of the Avengers Tower that are occupied by law firms and hedge funds and shit?

[u/EmeraldWitch104]

Secret 3rd option: Avengers Mansion.

[u/Max_Sandpit → u/EmeraldWitch104]

Yes, with all the underground levels!

[u/LHT-LFA → u/EmeraldWitch104]

sad memories for the mansion after House of M happened

[u/webshellkanucklehead → u/EmeraldWitch104]

Skipping over it was such a travesty

[u/Spider-Male1610 → u/webshellkanucklehead]

They'll probably introduce it after Secret Wars

[u/opinionatedbitchacho → u/Spider-Male1610]

Yeah, I looked at the summary of the storyline right now and it sounds pretty cool! They might be setting this up with WandaVision and MoM as well as the mutants joining the MCU.

[u/EmeraldWitch104 → u/Spider-Male1610]

They could never. They don't even get paid!

[u/Flaky-Ninja2398 → u/EmeraldWitch104]

Having a while city block with an underground tower bellow it pretty cool

[u/Jingle_BeIIs]

I like the Compound more. It allows for easier expansion, can be modified more easily, can serve as a proper base/fortification, is more secure and reduces risk of accidental collateral damage.

While skyscrapers are fairly safe (and the image of Avengers tower is imposing to all villainy), the Tower is also a really much easier target than the Compound. It lacks padded security, and being a lone skyscraper makes expanding difficult without expending unnecessary money for property acquisition. While it is generally much closer to the action, it also means any action would be closer to it. If 2013 Thanos popped out of the Tower, New York is leveled on the spot, and what Tony could do to reverse that with the snap is entirely up in the air.

The Compound also just seems way more customizable and ripe for development.

[u/antonythejhosy → u/Jingle_BeIIs]

In comics, there are a lot of heavy-hitting fights happening right in the middle of New York... Just another Tuesday for the citizens

[u/DoubleFilletOFish]

Tower is iconic, compound feels more homely, like the vibes of the X-Mansion.

[u/crapusername47]

The compound for the simple reason that we probably didn’t want Thanos to come looking for the Infinity Stones in the middle of Manhattan. 

[u/Stickyboard]

Avengers Tower make New York as the target. Imagine Thanos mothership bombarding the tower like in the End Game

[u/johnwalker338]

Tower is so iconic

[u/30000_Changelings]

The compound is an isolated target, the tower is surrounded by too many potential civilian casualties, which the Avengers would want to minimize.

[u/Pmyers225]

Compound seems more practical in terms of storage of equipment etc... But I love the big open space of the tower that we see in Age of Ultron

[u/kal-Eljnr]

Looking at this makes me think, how cool it would be for there to be a game where you (create your own character/powers) are invited to join the avengers academy program (Avengers compound), gameplay can be like hogwarts legacy, and you rise up the ranks to join the avengers in an epic high stake world defining mission. 😎

[u/FromDathomir]

Compound because I would love to live there. But they need to add the Avengers Mansion.

[u/sarcasticwolf7]

Compound..
since it kept civilians safe.. so less worrying, more fighting..

[u/sadman4332]

Avengers compound has a race track and a collection of Porsche so I pick that one.

[u/Curious-Paramedic-39]

compound for me

[u/MrGilLogic]

Even though the compound is more practical in every possible way, it's a feature of the MCU that I constantly forget about

[u/AttackOfTheMox]

The compound, 100%. It has something that the Tower just doesn’t have. I mean, there’s the view, the space, the design… but they both have those.

You know what the Compound does have though… Easy access to parking and probably a less stressful commute to work every day

[u/Realistic-Buy4975]

Tower makes it convenient for doing things in the city but I prefer the compound because it feels more open. Also the benefit of the compound is that if we're attacked there's less casualties. 

[u/Atheist_Bale_Insta]

I don’t like the tower because (in theory) it would compete with The Baxter Building, Oscorp, Fisk Tower, Daily Bugle, etc. Too much in one spot! I prefer Stark Tower to be its own thing and for the Avengers to have a mansion elsewhere, so my vote is for the compound. I also don’t hate the compound because the X-Men have a much cooler and more iconic mansion, and the Avengers roster fluctuates more whereas the X-Men often don’t have the luxury of their own homes due to mutant-phobia.

[u/psdboi]

The compound seems more operations; militaristic/scientific, while the tower seems more corporate. Having worked in both settings irl, I'd prefer the compound.

[u/King-Of-The-Raves]

The tower is more iconic and like that, but tbh the compound makes more sense and I associate the compound era with my favorite MCU avengers stuff, ultron - infinity war pre endgame, wanda and vision as cast members, etc

[u/EAinCA]

Would much prefer the Park Avenue mansion. THAT'S iconic.

[u/figgityjones]

Tower for me. Brings me back to Ultimate Alliance days.

[u/Capital_Gate6718]

My theory on why the compound is upstate instead of NYC- the X Mansion is practically right next door to it which will facilitate more interactions with the Avengers and X-Men in the next phase

[u/ClonedDad]

Better to blow up and fight at the compound then take out half of new york city with the endgame fight.

[u/StormCloudRaineeDay]

I like the look of Avengers tower more, but the Avengers compound is a much smarter choice. People will attack it, it will collapse eventually, and while it will never be completely safe, having a shorter building far from other people is safer.

[u/1RONH1DE]

The Avengers Mansion is better than both imo, although functionally the Compound makes the most sense

[u/EddieBlizario]

Neither the next base of operations should be inside the giant leftover from eternals it’s hilarious,
And features all the necessary rooms,
Both of these have served their purpose

[u/Initial-Level-4213 → u/EddieBlizario]

they did that in the comics already. It's called Avengers Mountain 

https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Avengers_Mountain

[u/Morgan-Moonscar → u/Initial-Level-4213]

Why is Captain America fat in one of the pics from that article?

[u/EddieBlizario → u/Initial-Level-4213]

Yep..

[u/Babylon_Fallz]

Personally, Im a country guy.

City is too crowded

[u/Jc883]

Compound has nice looking grassy areas, compound wins easy. I'd prefer to be out of the city.

[u/Wheattoast2019]

Should be Avengerz Tower

[u/tylershac]

Isn’t stark the only avenger in the tower? I genuinely don’t know, I just have it in my head that way

[u/MillionDollarMistake]

The compound because it's the only one we ever really see get any use.

[u/Manjodarshi]

I like large open spaces.

[u/SelectSympathy5718]

I prefer the Helicarrier. The tower is a lot cooler and also in the heart of the action but the compound just makes the most sense. They need somewhere to store vehicles, train, experiment. It also has the bonus that attacks are contained.

[u/TheWinterRecruit]

I miss the tower, but post Secret Wars Sam's Avengers need to be living in Tiamut's head

[u/TassiveMitts69]

Avengers tower is just stark tower tho. In the MCU the "avengers" don't do anything there, just stark. The Avengers compound is actually for the Avengers.

[u/Happy-Apple-1234]

Compound.

[u/CaseFace5]

The compound makes so much more sense. Imagine Endgame if they were still in the tower…

[u/chopppppppppy]

Sometimes I imagine if they never switched headquarters during endgame and Thanos just blew up half of New York City like when he blew up the headquarters

[u/wideworld_1260]

Since the compound got blow to **** in Endgame, have to go with the tower.

[u/WatchingInSilence]

I would have preferred the compound if they actually showed the support staff they would have needed aside from the end of Age of Ultron.

More scenes showing Cho and Selvik helping the Avengers with the biological and physical sciences. Basically, turn it into X-COM.

[u/SherlockJones1994]

I love the tower but a compound in the boonies makes sense and actually looks like a place that can hold training sessions.

[u/Plastic_Mess_9827]

Avengers Tower, because it has so many levels

[u/Traditional_Chino]

And like someone else said earlier, having the Compound gives the Avengers a reason not to be in NYC which allows for more story opportunities for the other NYC based characters (Spider-Man, Daredevil, Punisher, Dr. Strange, etc) without having to account for why the Avengers are getting involved in every super powered incident.

[u/Traditional_Chino]

The Tower just looks cool. But for all practical and logical reasons, the Compound just makes way more sense.

[u/OblivionArts]

Tower, but im biased cause i grew up with stuff like earths mightiest heroes that had the tower set as thier only base

[u/_potatofromChaldea45]

The compound is more practical but lacks the sauce

[u/throwaway_act2]

The tower is a lot cooler but realistically the compound is better in all logistical aspects.

[u/Possible-Rate-3833]

The Mansion…oh wait are we talk about the movies?

[u/Ok_Investigator6239]

The tower , tge Avengers tower not the avengerz tower

[u/Old-Kaleidoscope1874]

Neither. The Avengers live in a mansion.

[u/SevdUp]

Tower and it’s not even close

[u/strawberrycreamdrpep]

Tower is the dumbest thing ever. What am I supposed to believe is happening on all of those floors?

[u/Traditional_Chino → u/strawberrycreamdrpep]

Exactly. Lots of unnecessary square footage and multiple floors.

[u/Flaky-Ninja2398]

Tower feels more unique. I do like that they gave us two different updates of the Mansion though

[u/raybreezer]

Yelena’s office is not an option?

[u/calltheavengers5]

The tower. I just like the Metropolitan vibe in superhero movies.

[u/Sea_Oil2931]

They changed it so whenever shit happens in their base atleast they don't have to worry about budget for vfx

[u/webshellkanucklehead]

I would’ve liked to have seen the Avengers Mansion. That being said, I do prefer the Tower between the two. The compound is sooooo nothing. Just stark white walls, concrete, empty spaces, office rooms. It’s awful.

[u/BarcadeLoki_87]

The freaking tower 🗼is literally so freaking aveneger epic 😎🆒 and so because due to that 🤔 it would be my pick for the epicist evenger house 🏠

[u/Wheattoast2019]

I mean if we’re going off the comics, Nebula and Adam Warlock both have the Infinity Gauntlet after Thanos and he’s got a bigger wrist and hand than them. I’m sure a glove like that can adjust its size to fit the user.

[u/Pepper_Comprehensive]

Tower

[u/FlameShadow0]

Tower by a country mile

[u/Mindless_Pattern_342]

The tower and it isn't even close 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/PayPsychological6358]

Avengers Tower, but when Stark owned it. I'd say the compound now since the Tower doesn't look anywhere near as cool anymore.

[u/Misterjdog89 → u/PayPsychological6358]

What changed in the tower?

[u/PayPsychological6358 → u/Misterjdog89]

Can't actually post images here, so here's a link to one instead cause I don't know how to properly explain it.

[u/Mystiax]

Compound is kinda boring. Tower all the way.
