Re: Unpopular fandom opinion - MCU =/= comics

[nyxelestia]

I think anyone write MCU characters like the comics is missing the point of them being movies.

Things like really bizarre time lines (there was no way the Avengers happened within a few weeks of Steve waking up), everyone living together like fresh-out-of-college kids with no real jobs (I'm still in college and this makes me roll my eyes), and fighting big, regular, and 'colorful'/comic-y threats in New York on a regular basis (considering how much damage things like 9/11 have done in real life, and how much impact the Chitauri Invasion was implied to have in the movies, I just can't buy this in MCU).

Ranging from how most/all of Iron Man's enemies were basically overblown business rivals who made thins personal, to Thor and Asgard being super-advanced aliens rather than gods, one of THE biggest differences of MCU from any of the comics was their tendency towards realism and grounding most of these stories in 'real world/real plausibility' perspectives.

These days, if I see a fic where the Avengers are all living together and constantly interacting with each other and never seeming to have work/other jobs besides "superheroing", all the threats being comic-style attacks on New York, or otherwise if the background/setting is like a novelization of the comics, then unless the fic has something else going for it, I just close the tab and don't bother reading it, now.

Re: Unpopular fandom opinion - MCU =/= comics

[intrigueing]

YES that annoys the hell out of me too! Both the "sitting around the house playing video games like college kids" thing and the "fighting random boring armies of mutated giant frogs twice a week" thing (which usually doesn't even happen in the comics, except as a in medias res joke).

I didn't really mind them all living at the tower (although it still didn't feel quite realistic for the 'verse) if the fic was set firmly a good while in the future, but now that the movies that came after The Avengers have come out and Jossed it for the time being, it seems a bit simplistic to keep doing it.
