Came here to mention The Marvel Fandom. I remember during some crisis (I can't even remember which one there had been so many over the last few years that's how bad things have gotten. I think it was Ferguson.) someone on my timeline wished Captain America would come and fix things. Like. God damn. Real people died, no fictional hero is going to save you. That was a protest. Get out there. Be you're own hero.

Yeah, it doesn't work for everyone, especially during the pandemic, but this person was completely physically and mentally able to protest.

I was definitely thinking of things like that "we need a figure like Cap" etc - NO, this is reality. WE (who can) have to be the people who get out there and fight. It's not pretty, it doesn't always have a neat resolution like in the films, often you'll even lose that one battle - but ffs I thought we all learned as kids that in real life there isn't a moment where an individual hero rides in and saves everything?

I get the difference between saying it as an offhand jokey comment or not as well. But some things just don't need humorous fantasy indulgence, much as we wish it. Some things need direct action now.

I was also thinking of people trying to relate to reality whatever the hell Thanos's wildly inconsistent af plan was and the Avengers opposing him. Just...can we not?
