gonna copy/paste my notes on it so far from facebook cuz i realized it belongs on here not facebook im dumb

Amanda: so i could never understand why ...

did they seriously just shove 32 needles into his body at once THAT POOR CHILD

i don't feel like the avenger movies are the same thing as the comics at all. the POINT of the avengers is they wanted to take the JLA

and say "this is how it would lhappen in the real world". all the members have their own issues. the ones we see in the movies

(iron man, captain america, thor, have the most issues and are the most deadly to others that are actually on their side

i mean for fucks sake thor tried to wipe out the human race

this is completely missing the entire fucking point of the avengers in the first place

but they're also the most well known names so it makes sense i guess /shrug

the problem is it makes comics more vulnerable, because almost everyone i know who went to the comics for iron man or

captain america after seeing the movies quit reading within a few issues because it wasn't the characters they liked

it was completely different characters they couldnt agree with as people or heroes

i'd be the same way if i saw this movie then went to read a comic and read something like when

rogers quit the avengers cuz they hired a black guy

i'd drop it stone cold, man

though i wonder if the movies are affecting the comics. i know that since iron man 2,

they've been slowly trying to make tony act like a better guy

he still manipulates the fuck out of people but he dont drink so much no mo

idk i cant understand it since ive been reading comics my whole life and im not approaching the movies from a blank slate

i see these characters and i already know their worst possibilities and if i can't respect a character as a person, i'm not interested

a superHERO is supposed to be respectable

but that's just me travelling off to my general issue with how the avengers are written in comics

though i guess maybe i jsut answered my own question

gotta make the characters someone people can invest energy in and respect them as people

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE I GUESS

film's a different media so that's why being fucktards works in comics and not in movies.

cuz wow yeah comic versions are seriously the biggest fucktards ever

i'm just bothered by this missing the point of the avengers in the first place

they are supposed to be what would happen realistically to a person like anyone else who got powers

and drafted into a team like that and given that responsibility but wasn't an idealized person

do the movies do that at all or does their whitewashing make it a different message?

again that's an honest question, i'm trying to decide if i want to see the avengers movie at all
