MCU Phase 4: 8 Comic Moments Marvel Must Avoid

7. The Illuminati Kill Trillions

While Jonathan Hickman's Avengers was easily one of the most enjoyable runs that the team has had, one part of it that should be avoided in the MCU is the side-story which saw Iron Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Reed Richards, Black Bolt, Namor and Beast destroy a bunch of alternate Earths and, in doing so, kill trillions.

These alternate-universe Earths threatened to destroy the 616 Earth, meaning the group were left with no other choice than to resort to (and there's no other way to say this), genocide.

So, despite how great Hickman's Avengers was, if it is to be adapted to the big screen, ignoring the bit where some of Marvel's most beloved characters murdered more people than Earth's most reviled dictators would likely make sure that the heroes stay loved.
