they’ve really dumbed down the powers of everyone in the mcu to make it more “realistic” as if I show up to these fucking movies looking for realistic scenarios. I’m here to escape, bitch. It’s all about the escapism fuck realistic shit.
These movies would be so much more enjoyable if they didn’t get so bogged down in realism. Like your cinematic universe does not have to abide by the rules of ours. Magic being real can be a given. Time travel can be real. Like it’s really so unimaginative and limiting to be so grounded in reality. There are so many more possibilities when you present aspects of a fictional world as fact.
And they also love to compromise a character’s mythos to make it more realistic which is my pet peeve. Like black widow has her own goddamn serum that keeps her in peak physical condition and preserves her youthfulness and she’s been alive a long ass time in canon and mcu nat is really just a fucking disgrace. Sharon Carter was dumbed down to prop up Steve when she’s a master hand to hand combatant and spy and far more qualified than Steve in MANY areas yet all we are shown of her skill is in the last 2 seconds of cap2 where she shoots a gun real good. Like it’s seriously a mess. And don’t even get me started on Gamora. She’s the deadliest women in the universe and she ffuckign loses in hand to hand against peter “dumbass” quill??? What the FUCK! What the actual fuck! That scene in Gaurdians 1 seriously makes my blood boil. It would’ve made far more sense for her to win easily and peter pursue her and along the way they team up. I’m just so ffucjfu. Like what the fuck. And mcu Wanda. I don’t know how you can call whatever the fuck that mess is the scarlet witch. It’s bad. It’s real bad.
Also very funny how the most glaring examples of this are women. Like the men (excluding loki) are basically the same. It’s upsetting and I’m feeling homicidal
this really sounds like the problem isn’t attempt at realism, but misogyny.
Yep!
