7 Marvel Movie Hangups Fans Really Need To Let Go
No amount of complaining is ever going to change things.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has come a long way since Tony Stark came home to find Nick Fury in his living room and the words "Avengers Initiative" were spoken. After six years, nine movies, a handful of short films and the creation of a television show, the MCU's staggering popularity with audiences has shown no signs of flagging anytime soon as it looks to continue growing far into the future.

Despite the fact comic fans should be rooting for the films to succeed and be thankful that were seeing some of the oldest comic characters and stories finally coming to life on the big screen with a sense of justice that many studios in the past never would've bothered about, these people often demonstrate a bizarre pessimism about it all as though they'd be happier watching them fail.
