And that is called gate keeping. Makes you not much of one for either.

I’m not gate keeping. Marvel isn’t the MCU & that what the majority of these people are fans of & im saying that those who are only fans of the MCU aren’t Marvel fans, they’re MCU fans.

It’s like saying you’re a fan of old music but it’s only remixes of them that has modern day music traits.

It still is Marvel.

Yes, if the MCU was entirely a different product in it's own right like other more loose adaptations of comic book products (cough) DCEU (cough) Then you would have some modicum of a point. However in this case, you do not. You are just gate keeping some really specific elements here.

The DCEU has actually been closer to the comics than the MCU as a whole.

Give me as many examples as you can on my message wall.

Yeah, that is immediately untrue.

@Mortal Reminder616 The Only time the DCEU was any similar to the DC comics was when they were basically the New 52 as a Movie and that's why DCEU was failing as long as it was because it's lost it's heart unlike the MCU. The MCU also change stuff (Natasha's Background, The Eternals, Thanos as a whole) for the better to make it more mainstream. Do you know how hard it was to explain to a person who only watches the MCU about Comic's Thanos Backstory? It's was impossible lol.

Black Widow's backstory was more changed based on pre-established elements that her past wasn't as a basically immortal spy. Like, the changes were adjusted based on what would make sense with the overall world established.

And yeah, meanwhile the DCEU was basically doing the New 52 as movies which is hilarious for projects like Shazam or Black Adam because as they make it seem like the traditional superheroes like Batman and Superman don't kill. They then have earlier projects where they do it all the time. In other words, they can't be consistent with themselves. Much less the comics they are adapting compared to Marvel.

I am all for Gabriel Luna coming back as Robbie Reyes!
