  It's aimed to teenagers and kids tho (even young adults like it) so it may not be your cup of tea. I used to find it fun but I lost interest after Endgame (I liked Shang Chi and NWH but the rest of the movies and all the shows were boring to me)
context: I don't care that it's not source material accurate. I'm just bored by how formulaic and family friendly it is. They're just live action Saturday morning cartoons.
  I rewatched Blade recently and thought, "Why don't they make superhero movies like this anymore?" And then I remembered Disney likes money. Family friendly, general audience products bring in maximum cash. >
  
  Even blade was toned down, the comics are way more gory iirc if I remember but I get your point. >
  
  As someone who enjoys the MCU but isn't very well versed in the comics, what are the most egregious deviations from the comics that upset you? >
  
  Here a couple examples
  Comics: adam warlock was basically the most important character vs. thanos
  Movies: he didn't even show up IIRC
  Comics: there is no time travel, after the snap it goes right into endgame
  Movies: dragging out the story with time travel which they could've introduced adam warlock but never did it.
  Comics: Thanos beats all the cosmic entities (Living Tribunal, Eternity, Galactus etc.)
  Movies: None of that happened here and it was a peak moment in the comics
  Comics: the snap killed major characters like Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and spiderman, so only captain america, thor and iron man would face thanos
  Movies: seemingly only side characters die from it, which makes it way less dramatic
  There is only 1 thing that they actually managed to upgrade imo and that is thanos's motivation, he's a way more interesting villain in the movies considering he doesn't just impress mistress death because he has a crush on her, he's more complex >
  
  The snap killed all 3 of those people in the movies, what are you smoking >
  
  my god you are right, it was the other way around, they weren't killed by the snap in the comics (scarlet witch and spiderman still died vs. thanos tho), my bad.
  I'm not sure about dr. strange at this point, I might have to read it again since it's bugging me now. >
  
  Lol, its cool. I dont read the comics at all so i wouldnt know. Im just saying that i think your post is failing to separate the ideas of a bad movie and a bad adaptation >
  
  it is a tad bit vague agreed, it is my first post here, so I didn't wanna go off on a rant immediately or throw in too much info because of rule 1 of this sub.  
  Maybe took it a bit too literal, no clue >
  
  bring on the Seinfeld Cinematic Universe (SCU) >
  
  People who act like comics are some deeply holy medium that must never be adapted or changed are cringey as hell.
  The MCU is fun. >
  
  The MCU was fun, now it's just content to be consumed. The funny thing is, phases 1 to 3 were mostly talking stories from old titles. With phase 4 they jumped to more recent comic runs, comic runs that failed horribly I might add. 
  Adapt it, change aspects of it, but if youre going to adapt something maybe don't stray too far from what made it great in the first place. >
  
  Haven't seen one since endgame, way too burned out on it >
  
  Dude, youre lucky. You bailed just in time. Phase 4 has been a cluster fuck. >
  
  Its physically painful to watch some of the stuff they have put out recently >
  
  The MCU ended for me at Endgame. It's not too much to ask that movies and shows be based on the source material. It's just an IP to Disney. They bank on an existing audience while catering to a non-existent audience that won't watch anyways. The existing audience will watch a couple of episodes, then check out when they see it's all "the message" and not for them. Then Disney, will claim it's a yuge hit based on the first couple of episodes. >
  
  I’ve never claimed to be a “Marvel” fan, have never and will never read any kind of comic book, and in general am not a fan of superhero stuff. But I liked most of the Marvel movies, because the characters amused me. If they were played by other people, there’s a high chance I wouldn’t have enjoyed them. Just because they aren’t a carbon copy of some cartoon books doesn’t make them suck. As far as I know, they’re simply based on them, not supposed to be some sort of word for word copy. >
  
  You're a whole different bracket of viewer compared to the pretentious ones, I'm fully aware that the majority of the viewers don't care about any of the lore, you treat it like a form of entertainment that comes and goes, to me it's 2 decades of commitment that gets abused for an easy cash grab.  
  As an example if someone makes a movie based on your life but turns you into a crackhead when you are a lawyer irl, you'd probably be able to relate a bit more. >
  
  Well, unless you are secretly Iron Man, or Captain America or something, I don’t think the two are at all similar. And even then, they’re pretty awesome, not crackheads. Like the comic books, the movies are meant to be entertainment, and they are. They may not even be meant for the same people that the comic books are meant for. >
  
  the example was more directed to you and not the characters .. to show how much they altered them and how much it probably would bother you personally if someone was telling a completely different story.  
  Thanos is a whole different character in the comics (which is probably one of the only positive things I found since he has more layers to him.)  
  You just said yourself that they are based off of the comics right? How wouldn't they be trying to nostalgia bait people into the movie theater? They know whom they aim these types of movies at, otherwise it wouldn't sell so well. That's why hulk gets green when he is angry and not purple when he is sad, that´s why iron man has his suit and isn't fighting in a raincoat with stilettos on. >
  
  They get the basics from the comic books, and try to get the largest crowd possible. I’d say most people I know who have seen the movies haven’t read the comic books. And those who have aren’t obsessive about the comic books and like the movies. >
  
  obviously the majority people who watch it and haven't read the comics will like it, that's how cinematic fast food works, doesn't mean only because a large audience (whom the majority of the viewers probably never read the OG story ) knows whats good, considering it's either their first experience with it or never bothered to get in touch with the source material.
  and those people you talk about who read the comics but like the movies ... ok and? That only shows that they don't care, great that doesn't put them in the same spot as a general comic fan nor someone like me who actually cares.
  Btw. you lost me at obsessive, since you can't even relate, for someone who has a husband you have very little understanding for passion and commitment it seems, so I'm not even going to bother anymore.
  Have nice day. >
  
  It’s still good, maybe not as good as previous phases since Phase 4 had a quality dip, but still good. Even the not well received stuff has some chunks of good in them. I’m actually enjoying what they’re giving (and I’m probably one of the few people who haven’t experienced or felt any of the whole burnout). I’m enjoying new storylines being adapted, new characters being introduced, and I’m very hopeful for its future. I know not everyone will be a fan of everything that will be put, but that’s okay. Even I found some stuff to be underwhelming but I still enjoy watching it. As contrary to how people say the MCU is dead or it isn’t the same as the good old days, the MCU is far from dead, maybe to some but it isn’t a bad thing. Things change, some are bad but some are good. I felt like the MCU was truly extraordinary, even with all the bumps in the road. And I’m very optimistic about the future of the MCU and what they have in store for us, cause if you told me about all the amazing stuff that happened back then, I would be in absolute disbelief. >
  
  YES THANK YOU
