8. A Shedload Of Unimportant People (Including You) Are Going To Die
In the Marvel Universe, as in the real world, you're pretty much irrelevant. I don't mean that in an impolite way, as I'm sure you're a wonderful person with loving friends and family. Yet in the conflicts of nations and world, the vast, vast majority of us are pretty much expendable insofar as we're what's thrown at the cannons to raise the stakes. That's fine if we weren't constantly being sought out for battles, but the problem in the Marvel Universe is that we are after all, you've got to make for a plot somehow. and the enemy really don't mind killing great swathes of us to get their point across. As The Avengers made abundantly clear, the Chitauri's assault on Manhattan resulted in vast boards of missing people, implying that a lot of people almost certainly died during the Avengers' awesome-off against Loki's hordes. After all, Cap couldn't thwart all the round-up slaughters perpetrated by the alien army he's just one man in a spangly outfit. So really, unless you happen to be one of the superheroes which by sheer probability's sake, you aren't there's a particularly large chance you might end up on that wall of the missing. Frankly, though the idea of a universe with superpowers sounds awesome, if it means I'll probably end up as a casualty in a particularly bitching set-piece duel, I'm going to pass it up.
