"You know, the last Avengers movie, Infinity War, was very dramatic — grown adults left the theater crying," Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday's Kimmel Live, kicking off a week of Avengers mania on his Disney-owned network. "And while children lover superheroes, I'm not so sure how they feel about intergalactic genocide." He gave the first of several spoilers here, if you haven't see Infinity War. "So, to get the kids back, we wrote a version of that story that's kid-friendly — a children's book — and we asked the Avengers themselves to read it for us."
You can watch "story time with the Avengers" below, hosted by Mark "Hulk" Ruffalo. Spoiler: It's not really kid-friendly, everybody's a critic, and the Avengers haven't quite worked out their differences. Peter Weber
