Honestly the only "bad" villains in marvel off the top of my head are Iron Man's, mainly because his whole thing is that he is his own worst enemy. Marvel always got the relatable aspect down. Like the heroes doubt themselves, they ask for help, they try and they fail, but they try again. I really wish the movies (AoU in particular) would show more of their flaws, just so you can see that as powerful as they are they are still human. I also want more disabled heroes for kids to see, like Hawkeye
Yeah! And to me, thats not at all bad - we ARE USUALLY our own worst enemies. Im a strong believer that we are the only things stopping us. I have bad anxiety and have had panic and anxiety attacks for as long as I can remember. Fear is crippling, its crushing, it will destroy your future before you can dream of it. It takes a lot of guts and a lot practice to grip your own heart and steady it, to breathe through the tightness of your chest and force yourself to stand up and continue. Being fearless is not the answer to anything, but knowing your fear is usually irrational is a skill that takes time to practice. WHAT IM SAYING IS —Marvel has it right with IM, we are our own worst enemies, and with the recent AOU film, it shows how trying to make things better can make it worse if you move without care or consideration of others.
Now… as for disabled characters. GIVE ME A HAWKEYE WITH HEARING AIDS DAMNIT!!! I feel like representation is wildly important! Kids need to SEE that hearing aids don’t make them different, that needing help to hear others isn’t a bad thing - Look! Clint Barton has em too! Imagine how cool that would be? Daredevil is nice to explain bc he is blind. I would like if we showed how Psylocke (She’s so cool) lost here eyes, she has cybernetic eyes now. Someone brought up the mutant Jubilee to me recently, saying I reminded them of her. I read up on her and she has dyscalculia, which is AMAZING that someone would bring that up. Its kind of like dyslexia, but with numbers, its a learning disability and I struggled my entire life with numbers. I need Karmas amputated leg, I need to see Puck the dwarf. I want kids growing up to see their disabilities do not change who they are or make them different. Kids need hope and something to turn to when things get dark. The world is harsh enough, lets not make their heroes alienate them too.
