They were so nerfed in the movies it's really not funny i'm sure that's not what we are expected

for example: mcu thor, hulk, fox iceman, Dr Doom

can you explain why?

and any suggestion?

It makes sense, comics have been upping the scale for decades and movies start with a clean slate that allows them to bring it to a more manageable level. People already make jokes about how useless some of the characters without powers are, even more so if they where at comic book levels.

Also far cheaper and requires less CGI and less location shots if you keep the scale lower.

The suggestion is to not go into this looking for the exact same character.

Because high end feats aren't necessary for most of the MCU stories thus far, and handing them out needlessly would only give certain characters an air of invulnerability that would make creating credible antagonists more difficult.

I don't think as many as we make seem are nerfed. I just think CV has an over-inflated view of most comic book character's abilities, and base them off of decades of inconsistent scenes, while only viewing the best stuff from them.

I'd say most cinematic characters are pretty much par for the course.

  • Plot
  • Situational limitations
  • It's easier to write something, but it could be expensive to do cinemtically

Feats don't make the story. Seems most people on here can't wrap their heads around that. Plus some stuff doesn't translate well to film.

Writers and producers think the general public is too stupid and can't relate to a super hero. Screw anyone from 1935-1999 who enjoyed the absurd stories and still kept reading and buying comic book merch. This is why superman was nerfed, to be more well related to by the general masses who will go to a superman movie and see him lift a continent into space and someone will actually say in the theater "That's stupid, no man can do that."

I swear to god, someone said that in the theater out loud during Superman Returns on opening night.

Because comic characters are OP.

Because it'll cost too much to make characters equal to their comic versions (basically referring to guys like Thor, Superman, etc), plus only geeks care about power levels anyway.

Story over bullshit.

Because most comic book high e d feat happened like one or two time, but that automatically means that character is defined by thay feata instead of average feats. Plus is harder to do big epic grand scale.

You seem very committed! Always, mostly, sometimes,...okay maybe a few instances. lol

I think it's way better. Unless they increase the drama or help with characterizations, I find superpowers uninteresting. Spider-man is an incredibly powerful character, but they're perfectly balanced and work wonders for story-telling.

I think Dr. Manhattan worked wonderfully because he's only in one standalone story, and Watchmen isn't about boring meathead fights. Unfortunately, the movie wasn't very good in my opinion.
