10 Things That Would Have Happened After 2015's Biggest Movies

8. Avengers: Age Of Ultron - The Public Quickly Lose Interest In This Woeful Tribute Act

Despite being rooted in the pages of comic books, the MCU has glossed itself with a veneer of reality. Whilst not the hyper-real setting of Chris Nolan's Batman trilogy, The Avengers movies (and their wider tie-ins) do consider the bigger picture of the world in which their set. Namely, the huge public interest in this fledgling team of superheroes and the keen eye with which they're watched - an interest that would have curled up and died about a week after the film ended. Let's compare. Iron Man was a world-famous playboy and business magnate who'd been involved in high-profile televised arguments with the DoD. Captain America was a legendary war hero who was frozen in ice and revived in the present day. Hulk is a scientific wonder who has previously destroyed, and I'm not exaggerating here, most of Harlem. Thor is literally an alien from another world who was, technically, responsible for proving humanity wasn't alone in the universe. The New Avengers consist of some nobody with a jetpack, a former spy, the Iron Man you use when you don't legally have the rights to Iron Man, a girl who can bend spoons, and Siri. Granted, they're still fronted by Captain America, but with that supporting cast the sight of these "New Avengers" would illicit more cringes than when Axel Rose used to wheeze his way onto a stage with 5 guys he'd found in a car park and label it Guns 'n' Roses. Public interest in them would dwindle away into nothingness, and subsequently they'd be far less likely to get away with inadvertently destroying major cities in their line of duty. Face it, you'd let Iron Man throw your car at a bad guy, but if you caught some doofus with tin-foil wings even looking twice at it you'd call the police.
